Zinnia

Zinnia is a mysterious Draconid woman and a Pokémon Trainer from Hoenn. She is described as a special person who holds the key to the Delta Episode in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, on a trip to accomplish her objectives. Zinnia uses Dragon-type Pokémon in battle, including a Salamence she can Mega Evolve into Mega Salamence using her Mega Anklet. She also travels with a female Whismur nicknamed Aster. She is the only character in the games to have the Trainer class Lorekeeper. With an air of mystery surrounding her, Zinnia is medium height and very thin. She has chin length black hair with a fringe and red eyes, and wears a ragged white cloak with black shoulder pads, gray short shorts with a red rope around the hips serving as her belt, a tight black top with two red crescent lunar symbols on her chest, a pair of knee length gray socks and open toed gray boots. Zinnia also wears two spherical red earrings, as well as a blue Mega Anklet on her right leg, where her Key Stone lies. Zinnia could be considered one of the most unusual characters in the franchise, mainly because of her depth and her mysterious and tragic history. This has been seen before in characters like N or AZ; however, unlike them, she is unable to achieve a happy ending. She has a somewhat crazy and overactive imagination, appearing mainly in her pre-battle animation and during her talks with the player character. She is always able to laugh even in sad moments, such as when she remembers the true Aster on the roof of the Sky Pillar. As the Lorekeeper, Zinnia is a traditionalist and has peculiar morals. She sticks to her course, doing what she believes is right, no matter what others say or do. She can also be reckless, manipulating Team Aqua and Magma to resurrect Kyogre and Groudon to battle and lure Rayquaza to destroy a Meteor, ignorant of the fact her actions nearly destroyed the Earth. She also showed a callous indifference to the lives she endangered in the process. Despite her flamboyant personality, Zinnia has a great sense of responsibility and exceedingly great emotional strength, considering matters like the meteorite as something only she should handle. Feeling like a prisoner of her own destiny as Lorekeeper, having to bear the burden of protecting the world many years ago, but above all, having to deal with the death of Aster is what makes Zinnia a melancholic character. Although she broke free from bearing the burden of a Lorekeeper, nothing in the world will be able to bring back Aster, making her one of the few characters with a tragic ending. Following the Delta Episode, Zinnia leaves the Hoenn region with her Whismur, in search of a new goal to pursue.
