How does your oc's personality change over time?
Renahv becomes more of a mentor who knows when to be strict and use tough love.
Initially when I first made Norrie she was going to be kind of cold, but I think talking about her with friends made me go “no….she’s a sweet little thing”, now she’s a little more than that as I’ve written that she really only feels like she’s has to act all happy and energized as she acts like the public image to Surico’s princess.
She doesn’t regret taking on the position as champion, she truly loves it, but she feels like it’s a lot of work to pretend she isn’t tired 😢 at least her liege lets her relax when she visits.
Dory becomes more confident in herself and comfortable in her body. She also becomes more certain in her own ability.
Jin's personality is actually pretty consistent from when she was younger, energetic and outgoing. (tho there was a point in time where she was in a much darker place) but the main difference for her now is that she knows when a situation calls for her to get serious.
When Mary was a kid she was considered a bit...odd by her parents, or at the very least she wasn't always the prim and proper lady her family expected her to be. After the attack that took her parents she of course was in a VERY dark place for a long time. But after time with her aunt and uncle she was able to get back some of that joyful spark from her childhood.
Avian went from "Hyper cocky and hyper competent kid" at his Sinnoh venture who was annoying and never had to work too hard for the win, and he ALWAYS won. All the way to "Depressed burnt out karoshi office worker/former gifted kid" who genuinely believes he peaked in terms of ability and meaningful connections in his life as a teenager.
After Darkest Day, Avian however returns to Sinnoh, recaptures his released team for the purpose of squaring up against a legendary pokemon in order to settle the past for good, win or lose. In short he tries some form of therapy. He will never become the person he used to be, that person is gone but he can be a peace with himself and look for new ways to grow.
Wily goes from being a very matter-of-fact abrasive teenager to eventually a much more tolerant and accepting adult, finding out how much he can learn from other people.
He also goes full mad scientist "Only logic, no emotions" for a very short while and it messes him up REALLY bad when he snaps out of it, but when he recovers from it he's a much more openly caring and stable person.
For Odd:
He was very inquisitive and polite as a young boy (albeit a bit socially awkward), but around age 13 he was a bit more privy to some of the scarier/mind-bending stuff to his past and the circumstances around him, so around that time, so he tried to cover up his increasing mindset of "My god, what is happening?" with a veneer of humor (with varying degrees of success)
By around age 17-18, when his father died: He did NOT take it well. By this point, he had already taken on some of the responsibilities his connection to Giratina came with, but he grew a bit more spiteful and vindictive in his practices: never intentionally trying to hurt anyone ((most of the time)), but certainly more callused and careless with both his words and his actions.
And then a year or so after that, with a lot of things in his story coming to a head (in a rather unfortunate way), Odd was left pretty shell-shocked in the aftermath and decided to get away from it all for some DEEP reflection, hence why he's hole'd up in his shop. Nowadays, he's much more mellow and used to the strange stuff that happens to him, but he's still sifting through a lot of baggage
Elio was originally a quiet and emotionally-stunted child who's maturity peaked much earlier than his other younger siblings due to his involvement with a certain Dark-type Mythical Pokemon whom he viewed as his second parental figure. Also, Elio was heavily sacrificial, putting his siblings needs over his own because of the early realization how his older siblings had gradually changed after the death of their parents, with Ardyn unintentionally bombarding Elio with the importance of family and what it meant to be an Argentium now that they're being raised by their grandfather - one of the most powerful people in the region, let alone the world because of his past contributions. Thus, he was generally agreeable, obedient, and well-mannered.
After meeting Molesurya - his first Pokemon, and Adiunna - the former's mother and Elio's own maternal figure that, Elio started to develop his emotions. Not to mention the constant exposure to other's dreams and nightmares via said mythical's powers caused him to learn and constantly self-reflect. Inevitably, after encountering the "final dream" via his grandfather and learning of the loneliness he went through via alienation from his grandchildren in their misguided attempt to be self-reliant and not burden him, that Elio becomes more open with his emotions and desires while adopting much of his grandfather's carefree and amicable personality - which he would use as a foundation to fully develop his own personality over the coming years.
By the start of his journey, Elio's fully developed into the jovial, semi-altruistic, pragmatic, prodigiously, hard-working, incredibly wise and equally charismatic individual who's also noted for his occasional snarky, teasing, and provacative attitude with those he truly considers to be his friend or ally. Such a multi-faceted personality is usually seen in various OC interactions and fanarts I commission of him.
Estella mellows out. She learns to control her temper better but also learns to wear her confidence in a much more mature fashion. By the end of her arc she can pull off Cynthia/Diantha tier poise and composure, but is still goofy
