no this is a lie he really wanted the dead kid to be named after him trust
6. What is their relationship with each other like?
married forever <3 pmd2 hero/partner was one of my first ships as a kid so i gotta keep that spirit alive for Rin and Nimbus, they’re so cute to me. They’re only officially together in the postgame of eos after Rin is revived though
11. What was the partner characters past like?
I’ve gone into Nimbus’s past here and here but to summarize, Nimbus was born in Limestone Cavern to the former leader of the Luxray tribe, who lost her tribe and went into hiding. Her other bio parent is the ditto that guards the time gear who was letting them hide out there.
Her mother was determined to recreate her tribe through Nimbus, and so she kept her on a literal harness to make sure Nimbus never left her sight, and she used fear tactics to keep Nimbus reliant on her. Nimbus managed to escape to explore one night, inspired by Ditto’s stories about Team Charm, Team AWD, and other exploration teams, and found the Relic Fragment. And after that it was history, she escaped Limestone Cavern altogether to become an explorer… but she’s still a very anxious and paranoid person, so it took meeting Rin to come out of her shell.
