Nowi (ノノ)

[ ACTION (NEW BARK TOWN) ]

[Waking up in a strange world and being kicked out of the house you woke up in before you're fully awake is kind of weird. Nowi's still struggling to take in her surroundings as she leaves Mom's house. She's not used to getting up this early. "This early" is about ten in the morning, so it's not really early at all, but that's not the point. Nowi finally finds a nice patch of grass and flops down, lying on her back and stretching her arms above her head.]

Maybe I'll just get a little more sleep before I start that adventure or whatever...

[She should probably find the Shepards first though. Chrom will probably be annoyed that she's run off again. She doesn't recognize this place, but surely things will make sense eventually.

Nowi moves to push her hair out of her face only to come to a startling realization. She sits up immediately, reaching up to her ears.]

Wh-What!? What happened? Where are my ears!?

[Her ears aren't missing, they're just small. Instead of long, pointed ears, she's currently sporting human ones.]

How-- How did this happen!? What's going on!?

[Now that she's more awake and she's getting a better look at her surroundings, Nowi's beginning to tear up. Nothing here looks familiar. The buildings look completely foreign and not in the same way most of Valm looks foreign. They were last in a volcano, how did she get here? It isn't long before Nowi's in tears, rubbing her gloves across her eyes in a futile attempt to stop the tears.]

What's going on!?

[ VIDEO ]

[About an hour and a half later Nowi posts a video to the network. Well, it's probably not Nowi doing it, since she's not holding the 'Gear, but probably some poor sap she roped into helping her. The camera is angled down on her, which isn't really hard since she's so short.]

Hi! I'm not really sure how to start this, so I'll get to the point. I've been told that this is "Johto" or something, but I don't really care about that. I'm looking for a bunch of people! An army! We're called the Shepards and our leader-guy's name is Chrom, so if anyone's seen them, let me know!

[There's a pause while Nowi tries to remember what she was going to say. She tilts her head as she taps a gloved finger to her lips. It seems the cameraman (or camerawoman) has decided to keep the 'Gear focused on Nowi's torso, so you're not getting the full horribleness of her outfit. It's still pretty bad though. Yikes.]

Oh, right! I've got a question about my ears.

[She pushes her bangs back to show off her perfectly normal human ears.]

They're not supposed to be like this! They're like... long and pointy and stuff! They're really cute and not... tiny. These are human ears! I'm not a human!

[Way to just announce that, Nowi...]

And one more thing! What's this?

[She points to the ground and the camera pans down to show a Dratini curled up at Nowi's feet. She quickly hurries before the cameraman can say anything.]

Yeah, yeah, I know, a Pokémon or whatever, but that's not what I'm asking! Is it a dragon? It looks kind of like a dragon. It's kind of nice that someone gave me a dragon, but why was it in a ball? --Yeah, a Pokéball, that's not the point!

[She balls her hands into fists and stamps her foot as the camera moves to focus on her again.]

This is really annoying! What's going on around here? I was in a volcano last time I checked, so why am I here!?

[But as quickly as the anger comes it leaves her and Nowi sighs and folds her arms.]

Well, I guess that's all the questions I've got. So if you're listening and you've got some answers, let me know, okay? Thanks!

[And with that, the video ends.]
