Character profile

Professor Burnet is a researcher who studies Pokémon in otherdimensions and theInterdream Zone, the space between dreams and reality. Burnet comes off as a passionate woman who enjoys her job and relationships. Burnet can feel easily flustered. Burnet appears to have a habit of snapping her fingers when she figures something out and She grins when something she finds amuses her.

Professor Burnet is married toProfessor Kukui who she lives with on Alola'sRoute 1 onMelemele Island. She appears to find theMasked Royal attractive, often smiling and blushing at the thought of him. During the end scene of Sun and Moon, she notices the similarities between her husband and the Royal. InPokémon Dream Radar, she mentioned that she was colleagues with ProfessorFennel in theUnova region, who also had an interest in researching the dreams of Pokémon. According toLillie, Professor Burnet treats Lillie like her own daughter.

Appearance

Professor Burnet is an adult woman who stands at the height of 5'7" (1.70 m). In the Alola-based games, Burnet appears to have more tanned skin than she does in Pokémon Dream Radar. In both games, she has medium-length white hair that stands up on end with two curly side bangs and a long ponytail that curves upward ending in 5 points. She has thin eyebrows with almond-shaped eyes and yellow irises.

Pokémon Dream Radar

Burnet's head is covered by a pair of large thick goggles that wrap around her head with a gray strap. The lens are angular and are yellow with crosshairs, a symbol used across the game is also applied to the bridge on the goggle's nose. Burnet wears a one-piece black jumpsuit, that is decorated with multiple colors and lines appearing in green, blue and gold around her chest with a gray chest plate on the front. This jumpsuit is a bit larger for her and becomes baggy near her ankles. Large open boots cover her feet and shins, having a single gold line down the front, ending at the ankles. The Jumpsuit's sleeves, decorated with orange lines, reach towards her arms, stopping beneath her gloves. Burnet wears white wool gloves, with multiple seams. Like most Pokémon Professors, Burnet has a large white lab coat, the sleeves are pulled back towards her elbows and has large pockets on both sides. Her coat is often left open.

Generation VII

In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Burnet wears a green headband that covers the backside of her head, this headband is similar in shape to the strap of her goggles from Dream Radar. Burnet has a silver metal chain necklace ending with her wedding ring. Burnet's gray thin-strap tank top lacks detail aside from the seems on the sides. She wears a jumpsuit, similar to the black and orange jumpsuit that she had originally worn in Dream Radar, as leggings, the upper half is tied around her waist on top of a blue skirt. The leggings are also connected to her shoes, having green soles that cover her toes. The top of her feet are open. If Burnet were to wear her jumpsuit completely, the sleeves would go down her entire arm length like in Dream Radar. The jumpsuit has a zipper that goes down the middle.

History

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Professor Burnet debuted in this chapter. She was first seen in a fantasy inPink Slip, where she was mentioned byFennel, who said she was a great help to her research onDream Mist.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

Burnet moved to theAlola region and marriedProfessor Kukui. Three months prior to the start of the chapter, Burnet foundLillie anda Pokémon lying unconscious on a beach. InThe Decision and the Tournament of Six, she was seen with Lillie atProfessor Kukui's house, where they watched a tournament being held at anIki Town festival on the television. Burnet was excited to see the Masked Royal battle againstSun in the first round, but was disappointed when he ends up losing.

Later, Burnet received several Pokémon documents from Kukui while he was at the Dimensional Research Lab. As they talked, Burnet revealed that Nebby is actually theLegendary PokémonCosmog. Burnet suggested that Lillie may have been trying to keep Nebby away from someone, but she refused to clarify who she was trying to escape from. To Kukui's surprise, Burnet suggested that he make Lillie his assistant, as it could help her begin to open up more.

Later, Burnet decided to take Lillie shopping in order to get her out of the house more. As they headed towardsHau'oli City's boutique, Burnet accidentally triggered painful memories of Lillie's past. Lillie's distress caused Nebby to fly out and begin clawing at the sky, creating acrack in the sky in the process. When Lillie eventually fainted, Nebby stopped and went down to check on her condition out of concern. Later that day, Burnet contacted Professor Kukui,Sun,Moon, and their friends and told them all about what happened to Lillie. With this information, everyone speculated that the various cracks seen around Alola were caused by Nebby and that Lillie must have been running away from some villains in order to keep Nebby from them. Worried that she may not be able to keep Lillie safe alone, Professor Kukui suggested Burnet meet up with him, Sun, and Moon atUla'ula Island.

Later, Burnet and Lillie usedMantine Surf to travel over the water to Professor Kukui's yacht as it headed off to Ula'ula. Shortly after arriving, the group was attacked by a wildBruxish, which used its psychic powers to give everyone headaches and pass out. Although Sun successfully rescued Lillie, who was knocked into the water, he and Lillie ended up passing out as well and are separated from the others. Later, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon were rescued by theAether Foundation and taken toAether Paradise. There, they metFaba andWicke, who explained what happened to everyone and offered to give a tour of Aether Paradise.

Later, after leaving Aether Paradise, Burnet, Kukui, and Moon took Kukui's yacht to Ula'ula Island. Kukui, sensing a strange change in the atmosphere, feared that a battle may have started in the hour since the Captains' group arrived atPo Town to talk withTeam Skull. With nowhere to dock the yacht, Moon told Kukui to get as close to Ula'ula as he can while she had Rowlet carry her to Po Town by flying through the air. After finding a place to dock, Burnet and Kukui met back up with Sun and Moon in Po Town. Kukui gave Sun one of theMirage Berries that was left behind on the yacht so that Sun and Moon could feed it toTapu Bulu.

Later, Burnet went off to theAether House to meet up with Lillie. When Lillie spottedGladion fighting off one of theUltra Beasts that had been rampaging around Alola, she ran off to go see him. When Lillie arrived at Gladion's location, she was attacked by aGuzzlord. Though Burnet tried to protect Lillie, both were saved by Gladion'sSilvally. To everyone's surprise, Lillie and Gladion revealed themselves to be siblings as well as the children of Aether Foundation President,Lusamine. Lillie explained that three months ago, she stole Nebby from Lusamine in order to prevent her from using its power to further her plans. When Lillie presented aSun Flute she also took from Aether Paradise, Gladion decided that they should head towards the altar.

InFinale!! The Battle Against the Other Dimension!, Burnet was revealed to have learned of Kukui's identity as the Masked Royal, leading to them now participating together at theBattle Royal Dome as "Luran and Kommo".
