 | n ★ N was the first person Paprika met upon her arrival in Unova, and while they might've gotten off on a bit of the wrong foot due to some cultural misunderstandings regarding Pokemon, they're on good terms now. She knows he's the former Champion, though the full significance of that is a bit lost on her, and is under the impression that his relative social ineptitude and introversion come from being home-schooled. Well, it's close enough. Paprika thinks that he needs to loosen up and come out of his shell a bit, but overall finds him very interesting to talk to when he's not being too smart for her to understand. They travel together as part of the implicitly named Team Socially Awkward (or some variation thereof), alongside Thomas and Dragonite. |
|
 | dragonite ★ The second member of Team Socially awkward prior to Paprika's arrival, Dragonite is still a bit of a mystery. Having been a Pokemon herself up until recently, Dragonite seems to still be in a bit of culture shock, and Paprika wishes she could help out a little more on that end. She finds Dragonite a bit on the odd side, but hey, who's she to judge? Definitely someone she'd like to continue getting to know better. |
|
 | thomas ★ Thomas reminds Paprika of her younger brother to an extent, albeit older and from several centuries ago, so she finds it pretty easy to connect with him in spite of the values dissonance between the 1800s and 2012. The two of them engage in cordial fun-poking at times, and Paprika will never tire of speaking to him in a mediocre impression of a British accent. She thinks he's a pretty cool guy overall, though in her opinion, Victorian England must have been quite a stuffy and boring place. |
|
 | nepeta ★ The second person (sort of) Paprika met upon entering the Entralink, these two are pun buddies until the end of time as far as she's concerned. Though the initial impressions of troll culture Nepeta provided weren't quite accurate, Paprika still finds herself worrying a bit about a little kid having to be out in some crazy alien world almost all by herself, hunting to survive. Aside from the fact that Nepeta could then probably kill her on a whim were she a less benign troll, Paprika thinks she's fun to be around--or maybe pun to be around would be a better way to put it. |
|
 | miror b ✘ Completely entranced by his hair (seriously, that is the best hair in all the Pokemon franchise) and general fabulousness, Paprika is completely oblivious to the fact that Miror B is using her to needle at N. They met by happenstance at the Relic Castle, and she was happy to try and help him find some sort of stone he was after, as well as unwittingly tell him of N's (brief) former status as Champion. He seems a teensy bit odd, but she chalks it up to coming with the territory of wearing spandex and having a giant afro, not at all considering that Miror B might have a few ulterior motives in getting to know her. Following all the kidnapping shenanigans, Paprika is inclined to peg him as the biggest, craziest douchebag ever. |
|
 | jade ★ After Greg hatched and decided that tormenting Paprika was a spiffy idea, Paprika happened to read Jade's memo. The two bonded over mutual ownership of frogs and confusion over how does me a teenage girl do Pokemons, and Paprika learned a little more about Jade and Nepeta's cross-universal shenanigans. Paprika thinks Jade is a really sweet kid, and is under the impression that the two of them are the only normal, modern Earthlings about. |
|
 | naoto ★ They met pretty much by pure coincidence, and Paprika's pretty sure he thinks she's kind of a moron. Then again, she's used to that, and figures it shouldn't stop her from making friends. The two of them engaged in some horror movie dream shenanigans during the Dream World event, and Paprika thinks it's made them a little closer. |
|
 | shizuo ☐ He stumbled into Paprika's "house" during the Dream World event, and the two of them chatted/had an impromptu lunch party together. She hasn't gotten to know him too well, but figures he's an okay kind of guy. |
|
 | hilda ★ They met when Hilda tagged along with N to rescue Paprika, who for a split second actually thought Rose had popped up in Unova. She figured out pretty quickly that Rose and Hilda are nothing alike, but their appearances are still similar enough to weird Paprika out. She finds Hilda fun to be around, though, and it's nice to have a (fairly) normal person her own age to hang out with. |
