Prof. Alga [WIP]

Just realized this might be the first character design I've actually posted here? Always had the idea in the back of my mind but never got around to it til now I guess! Anyway, one of the further-off goals I had for Ultraviolet is human characters! This would probably come toward the end once the dex is complete, but I am starting to think about them.

The protagonists would be a pair of Alolan people who recently joined Aether as employees. They get put on an Ultra Space expedition team, with Ultra Megalopolis as the first stop to learn the basics. Prof. Alga would have the typical Professor role; she's responsible for training the player and providing them their starter, as you'd expect!

And now, a brief blurb on Prof. Alga:

In Ultra Megalopolis, the role of a Professor isn't quite the same as in the Pokemon world. For one, there aren't really many kids walking up to your door to get a Pokemon. Here, Professors aren't really expected to do more than their own research. So while she's knowledgeable, Prof. Alga isn't the greatest at being a guide and teacher. There's also a bit of a culture shock scenario too, as the player is an Alolan native who's coming to Ultra Megalopolis for the first time. Alga might over-explain stuff that's obvious and familiar to the player, but gloss over the crazy stuff because it's what she's used to in her world.
