============================

Let me introduce Team Troubled Waters!

Shawn: Shawn's personality has been something of an emotional roller coaster until Arc 2. When he was a young pup, he was very carefree and outgoing. He was being cared for by his mother, whom he admired for her selflessness and bravery. While Shawn's mother was not part of any major group (like the guild Shawn is in now), she was always quick to defend or assist any pokemon in distress, making her something of a paragon.

However, an unfortunate accident left Shawn's mother in her own situation of distress, however no rescuer was able to reach her by the time of her passing (Mission 5). Shawn was heartbroken and demoralized by the event, leaving him timid and and without self confidence. He followed Nauxis's advice in joining a rescuer's guild in hopes in becoming what his mother used to be. Shawn remained timid for the duration of Arc 1.

By the beginning of Arc 2, Shawn has renewed his self-confidence and evolved into a Dewott. While he is still modest and somewhat shy, he is making an effort to become more assertive and speak his mind. He is driven by the morals taught to him by his mother and will always take action if someone is in need.

Relationship with Nauxis: Shawn has a deep respect for Nauxis since the bird pokemon "adopted" him, and he relies on his wisdom and guidance. Unconditionally lets Nauxis ride on his head.
Relationship with Florrie: By the end of Mission 6, Shawn doesn't know too much about the snorunt. Somewhat influenced by his readiness to help others, he asked Nauxis to let her join the team. He enjoys Florrie's excited enthusiasm, but silently worries that she'll be to much to handle.

Further Notes:
His left scalchop was one of his mother's: she had fashioned it herself. Acts as a memento
He gained his right scalchop after he evolved to a dewott. He carved it to look like his mothers directly afterwards. With both scalchops, he feels like both him and his mother are working together to help those in need.


--------------
Nauxis:
Nauxis was a sort of a 'family friend' to Shawn and his mother, though he had mostly associated himself with his mother at the time. They had met when Nauxis was injured by a rampaging Tauros; he was sheltered until he was able to fly again. He and the Dewott remained friends after the incident.

After the passing of Shawn's mother, Nauxis took the Oshawott under his wing. He felt that he owed Shawn's mother the favor of rekindling his spirit. After hearing about a nearby rescuers guild, he made the natural suggestion of having Shawn form a team with him and join it. For the duration of Arc 1, he guided Shawn through their missions the best he could, hoping revitalize the oshawott in the process. He was very happy to see Shawn's bolstered spirit by the beginning of Arc 2.

Nauxis is a soft-spoken pokemon, knowing both how to speak kindly and deliver menacing undertones when needed. To other pokemon, Nauxis is generally friendly, though can be curt in frustrating situations. Nauxis rarely gives up on a task he sets out to do, but he is aware of his limitation (aka size). He is fairly skilled at finding alternative solutions to problems should he need to.

Relationship with Shawn: Nauxis acts as a self-imposed father figure to Shawn. He wants only the best for Shawn, and is dedicated to ensuring Shawn's happiness and to enable him to pursue his life ideals.
Relationship with Florrie: Nauxis can't help but be irked by Florrie's...enthusiasm. She doesn't seem like a bad pokemon, but in terms of being a rescuer, he's not sure her heart is in the right place. It doesn't help that he can't seem to keep up with her boundless energy.

--------------
Florrie:
Self-proclaimed "world traveler extraordinaire," Florrie is very much a "living in the now" pokemon. She doesn't dwell much on the past and doesn't give much thought towards the future. Consequently, not much is known about the snorunt by the time of her induction to the team. She excitedly asked to join the rescuers, her only apparent motivations being to meet new pokemon and see more snow (she was very disappointed to hear that there wouldn't be more snow for a while, but quickly got over it). If she has any underlying reasons for joining Team TW, she hasn't shared them yet.

Florrie is a snow hat full of energy, and you'll rarely see her standing in one spot for more than 5 seconds. She's a curious pokemon and is fully prepared to give her honest opinion about the things and pokemon she sees (to the annoyance of some). She's always ready to pour her energy into tasks given to her, but don't be surprised if she seems easily distracted!

Relationship with Shawn: Florrie was happy Shawn accepted her onto their team, and she considers them both 'best buds'. During one of her opinion hand-outs, she stated that she thought Shawn looked "kinda cool."
Relationship with Nauxis: Florrie thinks Nauxis is a grumpy little bird and often teases him to ruffle his feathers. It's all in good fun though, and she seems to know when to give him some space (whereupon she'll run off to the next thing that interests her).

Further Notes:
Florrie's only ice attack (Powder Snow) is fairly weak by most standards
Florrie only carries around the Bloon Bag when something needs to be carried
