Agent Poppy Seed
Home Continuum: Pokemon
Home Fic: "Pokemon Omega Ruby Wonderlocke: The Spirit of Discord"
Species: Lv. 21 Eevee
Gender: Female
Nature: Timid
Department: Floaters

Backstory: Poppy started life as an unnamed Eevee that was born to an IV breeding competitive trainer in a World One copy of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. She was rejected and Wonder-traded away to a copy of Omega Ruby used as the actual-playthrough-of-Pokemon counterpart of a regularly-updated comic. The trainer got quite attached to her, treating the Eevee's comic counterpart- named "Dirtcheap" as a dig on his previous trainer possibly thinking her worthless- as practically a second protagonist.
Then, the trainer's starter in the actual copy of Omega Ruby died to a unexpected, critical-hit Drill Peck while grinding. Unable to both deal with the grief and think up how to handle a simple training accident killing off such an important character to the plot of his story, the author instead ended the comic abruptly with little more than a hasty apology, blaming unrelated issues to his choice to not continue the comic.
To the comic's Dirtcheap, this amounted to the Drill Peck drilling a plothole straight into the poor Slowpoke's chest, sucking her in as her Word World collapsed around him. After drifting through a void for five minutes in stunned, confused silence, he landed in the halls of the PPC, right on top of a rather shocked Gallifreyan Klingon.
After a stay in FicPsych, she was deemed at least sane enough to report for the Duty, and after a rename, she was recruited into the Department of Floaters.
Personality and Mental State: As her Timid nature indicates, Poppy is rather... er, let's call her exciteable. At the drop of a hat, she can be reduced to stunned, shivering silence behind or underneath a convenient nearby object by... pretty much anything, from a rather bloody scene to her own partner yelling in frustration. That's not to say she doesn't care for the Duty, of course- she can get pretty passionate about it, in fact. This usually ends up being what brings her out from under Generic Object Number Fourteen when on the job.
When not hiding behind or under random objects, Poppy is actually pretty caring. She's pretty protective of Minis, to the point of bordering on motherly. In fact, her Berserk Button turns out to be "hurting any Mini in front of her."
Most of her current mental state probably stems from her rather traumatic exit from her world- being sucked into a small hole in the chest of a dead friend didn't go over well, plothole or not. It didn't help that said world had her friends die left, right, and center, as is usual in any Nuzlocke variant.
