Character profile

Perrin is a girl who makes her debut inThe Teal Mask expansion ofPokémon Scarlet and Violet'sThe Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. She reappears inThe Indigo Disk. Perrin's a skilled photographer from theSinnohregion, who has won many awards and accolades for her photos. She has an easygoing personality and is very friendly to the player who she affectionately calls "partner." During the events of The Teal Mask, Perrin struggles to find enjoyment in her career and hopes to to meet the Bloodmoon Beast. Her camp set and tent is an old kit previously used by her father. Perrin appears to be ambidextrous, as she holds her camera in her right hand in-game, and with her left hand in her official artwork. During battle, she throwsPoké Balls with her left hand.

Perrin is a traveler who has been to many regions in thePokémon world, traveling toKitakami and theUnova region. She has some knowledge of her homeland, the Sinnoh region, and its past, where it was once known asHisui.

Perrin's family is mostly unknown, but her father is passively mentioned by her after her camp is set up in theTimeless Woods. She appears to be a distant relative ofDiamond Clan leader,Adaman,^[a] with whom she shares a striking resemblance to. Adaman's phrase of "time wasted is lost" is passed down throughout this family. She also owns a Hisuian Growlithe who she calls "bud."

Appearance

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Personality and design from her concept art.

Perrin is a short and thin woman who visually takes after her ancestor,Adaman. She has straight short to mid-length hair that wraps around the right side of her face, with a single strand falling in front of her face. Like Adaman, her hair is a dark navy blue, that gradually shifts to a blonde at the tips, having a shade of green in between. Perrin has large almond-shaped eyes with brown irises with thick navy blue eyebrows resting above, once again, giving the spitting image of Adaman. She has one long eyelash on each eye.

Perrin's outfit consists of a short gray top with no sleeves made with sweater-like material, wearing a white undershirt underneath that wraps around her arms but not her shoulders. Both articles of clothing end at her lower chest, exposing her belly. She wears a thin black choker around her neck, and two similar armbands around her right arm, while her left arm has a white wrist watch. Her small black camera bag goes on her back with a single strap going around the front of her chest like a sash. Perrin owns a pair of light blue and torn up skinny jeans using a black belt to hold them up. Her pockets are lined with a white stripe. The holes are diamond shaped and are seen around her thighs. Her jeans' knees are lined with lighter splotches making them look worn out and indicating that she walks around on her knees while taking pictures frequently. Her giant white sneakers have a gray shoe laces, and padding, put together with pink holes. The soles wrap around Perrin's toes, being white in the front and black in the back, having several divisions. She has loose, but thick black socks with green lines all over them that wrap around her shins.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Website blurb: "Perrin is a camera-loving traveler with an easygoing personality. It seems she’s in search of a certain Pokémon and wants to take a photo of it."

Perrin makes her first appearance inThe Teal Mask and can be found inMossui Town along with herHisuianGrowlithe. She has come toKitakami to get aphoto of a certain Pokémon. Once the player has obtained at least 150 Pokémon in theKitakami Pokédex, she will battle them to see how strong they are, and then inform them that the Pokémon she's searching for is a specialUrsaluna known as the Bloodmoon Beast, which arrived to Kitakami from her homeland ofSinnoh. She tells the player that this Ursaluna has been sighted inTimeless Woods and asks them to meet her there.

In Timeless Woods, the player saves Perrin from awildAriados and helps her set up a tent as their temporary photo survey base. In order to find the Bloodmoon Beast, the player and Perrin wait for a foggy night to occur, during which the player needs to photograph ten different Pokémonspecies around the forest, allowing Perrin to use her Pokémon Searcher device to filter out the presence of every Pokémon in the forest that isn't Ursaluna. While the device does its work, Perrin tells the player how she used to be a successful photographer with awards and prestige, but lately, she's been having a slump, and hopes that getting photos of the Bloodmoon Beast would get her career back on track.

Once Ursaluna has been located, Perrin tries to take a photo of it, but her camera's flash agitates the beast, forcing the player to battle it. After the player has successfully beaten andcaught Ursaluna, Perrin rushes back to Mossui Town to get her photos developed. Unfortunately, when the player meets Perrin back in town, she tells them that the photos she took are blurred and out of focus, making them useless. Despite this, however, she has regained her passion for photography thanks to this experience, and rewards the player's help with aChoice Scarf and one of her Hisuian Growlithe before departing, hoping to see the player again someday.

Perrin can later be found again duringThe Indigo Disk, now working atBlueberry Academy'sTerarium as a photographer to get promotional pictures for the academy. She has a hot tip for the player, but decides not to share it with them until they've obtained at least 200 Pokémon in theBlueberry Pokédex, claiming she'll keep on photographing the player catching Pokémon without being noticed. Once the player has reached the target number, Perrin will show them photos ofGouging Fire andRaging Bolt^S/Iron Boulder andIron Crown^V, two previously unknown Pokémon sighted inArea Zero, and asks the player to find them for her. After the player has caught either one or both of theParadox Pokémon in question, they can return to Perrin, who takes some photos of them. With both Pokémon shown to her, she rewards the player's efforts with aSport Ball, before returning to her work.

Pokémon

Perrin's Pokémon take reference to the passage of time, using aNoctowl, a clock-like Pokémon, andLeafeon, paying homage to her ancestor,Adaman, who also used a Leafeon. This and the combination of her owning twoHisuianGrowlithe with her mission to find the Bloodmoon Beast, anUrsaluna, may referenceHisui andPokémon Legends: Arceus.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Perrin debuted inInto a New Sky! The Brave Olivine!, where she was seen taking photos of wild Pokémon onTengu Mountain inKitakami. She briefly sawLucius's Kleavor before it ran off.

InEncounters at the Crystal Pool, while inMossui Town, Perrin came across a Trainer namedDot. Upon learning that Perrin was from theSinnoh region, Dot asked if she knew anything about Lucius's Kleavor, as it was a Pokémon fromHisui. Perrin agreed to give any information she had on the condition that Dot defeat her in abattle first. Perrin used herLeafeon to take on Dot'sQuaxwell, but they were eventually defeated. As promised, Perrin followed Dot to theBrave Olivine, where she was introduced to the rest of theRising Volt Tacklers.

InThe Search for Kleavor!, Perrin tookLiko,Roy, Dot, andFriede to Tengu Mountain. Following an attack from a pack of wildHoundour andHoundoom, Perrin and Dot ended up separated from the others. As they traveled, Dot used a photograph Perrin took of her first encounter with Kleavor to determine the exact location where it happened. Once everyone had regrouped, they chose to use the various scratches Kleavor left in the terrain to find where it resided.

InKleavor the Solitary Warrior, Perrin and the others successfully tracked Kleavor down. When Kleavor lured everyone into a nearby cave, Perrin and Friede ended up taking a separate path from the children. By the time they exited the area, Perrin and Friede found Liko, Roy, and Dot in the middle of a fierce clash with Kleavor. Liko's group was eventually defeated, but their combined efforts successfully convinced Kleavor to join them. Later, Perrin bid farewell to the Rising Volt Tacklers, stating that the adventure inspired her to go out and take more Pokémon photos.

Perrin reappeared in a flashback inThe Pokémon Paradise of Laqua!.

Character

Perrin has a positive, upbeat and adventurous personality as a whole, being jovial and friendly to those she first meets. Perrin has a good sense of sportsmanship and honor, as she kept her word to provide information regardingLucius's Kleavor after Dot defeated her in abattle. As a professionalphotographer, she is always keen to take pictures of Pokémon and when something catches her eye and curiosity, she is determined to take a photo of it no matter what.

InThe Search for Kleavor! Perrin also reflects on her own slump in taking simple photographs, and catching a glimpse of Kleavor inspired her to take more creative photos in her career, increasing her motivation and spirit.
