Tyme is the older sister of Ryme. Her sister Ryme is one of eight current Gym Leaders of Paldea, while Tyme used to be a Rock-type Gym Leader. She is a kindhearted person and will answer questions when a student or the player is in need. However, she avoids questions relating to why she quit as a Gym Leader, as they make her fill up with nostalgia and sadness. Nevertheless, she enjoys being a teacher at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV. She often scolds Clavell for breaking his own academy's rules, and Hassel for his emotional outbursts during his own classes.
She is calm and poised, though at times she demonstrates a more excitable side, such as at the end of her bond and during her Academy Ace battle. She also shows some nervous tendencies in her bond.
In her forming bonds, she becomes anxious that someone is watching her. Because her sister is a Ghost-type specialist, she is familiar enough with Ghost types to recognize that it must be a human following her. She creates a plan to force them out into the open and learns that it is a student waiting to ask her a question. When she confronts the student, it turns out they are a fan of hers from her time as a Gym Leader, and they wish to know why she never talks about her reason for quitting. She clarifies that her reason was simply to focus on her teaching career, and although she feels emotional when she discusses her time as Gym Leader, she knows the Gym is in good hands with her sister.
Her classes explain the math behind various Pokémon battling mechanics in a more clear and specific way than other games in the series do. She also participates in the Academy Ace Tournament.

Pokémon Adventures
Tyme debuted in Discover! The Quaking Earth Titan!!. She and several other teachers were called to an emergency meeting by Clavell to discuss Violet, a new student that caused trouble during the Treasure Hunt's opening ceremony. Clavell informed the others of Violet's backstory and explained his behavior.
Later, at the Uva Academy staff room, Clavell talked to Tyme, Raifort, and Dendra about Scarlet. Dendra revealed that despite Scarlet's school records claiming she had perfect attendance and a battle record comparable to Nemona's, she had never actually seen Scarlet before the opening ceremony. Clavell suspected that Scarlet may have infiltrated the school for some reason.
