Precious

Precious is a Purugly and a former rescue Pokémon. She had previously lived in Landorus' Guild with Beans the Skuntank and Spike the Typhlosion, who made her life difficult.

History
Before joining Twitter, and as a Glameow, Precious' Purugly mother had always taught her daughter to be elegant and proper, which Precious took very seriously. So seriously, that she ends almost every sentence with a tilde (unless she feels worried or miserable). She had also been fascinated with adventure, vowing that she would become a rescuer upon growing up.

Precious wandered about Unova, looking to assist Pokémon in need, when she stumbled upon a Stunky named Beans. Precious took an immediate disliking to Beans because of his stench, and also because she perceived him as incompetent.

Precious then joined Landorus' Guild to become an apprentice. She then quietly went on missions by herself, but was upset that Beans and his Typhlosion friend, Spike, were also a part of Landorus' Guild. Silently Precious considered this pair her rivals. She would later grow to regret this.

In October of 2012, a Mismagius performed an illusion on Precious that turned her into a Garbodor. This transformation upset Precious greatly, as she now perceived herself as ugly and smelly. Other members of the guild were unaware that this was Precious, so Beans took a liking to her. She continued to go on missions to possibly make herself feel better, with the assistance of an Archen, who was also under the influence of one of Magius' illusions, but as a Swalot.

One such expedition involving Precious and Archie took place in Chargestone Cave, where Isabella, an Armaldo, was raising an army of Galvantula. Their goal was to rescue a Deerling who got trapped, but found themselves battling Isabella's army. Shortly after completion of this mission, Precious and Archie were changed back to normal. Although Precious promised to remain Archie's friend after this ended, her narcissistic nature made her break this promise.

On Halloween, Precious found it increasingly difficult to tolerate Beans and Spike when they argued and fought for candy. A struggle caused Beans to evolve into a Skuntank. Beans then attempted to flirt with Precious, much to her horror. To make matters worse, Precious developed an addiction to ginger ale, but was only able to find it in Spike's room. Stealing ginger ale from Spike got her in a lot of trouble, and Spike even stepped on her at one point.

Eventually, Precious evolved into a Purugly. She says the reason for this was because of her hard work and determination, but it's probably more likely because of the amount of ginger ale she drank.

Noticing Precious' struggle with Beans and Spike, Luke, a Heatmor, invited Precious to stay at Cianwood City, Johto with him. She happily accepted, and took a liking to Luke because of his elegance and properness. Precious even influenced Luke to have a liking for ginger ale.

Before long, Precious also met Luke's friends, a Torkoal named Robert and a  Blaziken named Cragma. Precious found Robert incompetent, but at least felt relieved that he was harmless compared to Beans. She doesn't hate Cragma, but often likes to tease him and flaunt her perceived beauty to him. Cragma has developed a disliking for Precious because of this.

Precious went on a wider expedition of the Johto region with Luke, Cragma, and Robert. One highlight of this expedition has been Luke being turned into a Durant by Magius. This curse has since been broken when the group visited the Ruins of Alph.

Towards the end of the group's trip, Precious revealed her romantic feelings for Luke. Luke seems to have similar feelings for Precious.

Back at Cianwood, Cragma, Robert, and Zack (a Mudkip) planned to take a trip to Kanto. Precious and Luke decided to sit this trip out and instead focus on their relationship in Cianwood. The two often enjoy tea and conversation together. Luke's Pawniard friend, Phillip (whom he rescued from assumedly shady business), got a job as a butcher at Olivine City and could use the money he got to support himself, Luke, and Precious.

Luke and Precious eventually adopted a Sentret they named Sarah. Shortly afterwards, Cragma left Cianwood again to join the crew of the Frozen Phantom, lead by a Lucario named Snow.

Luke got a job working at the docks of Cianwood on weekdays and decided to take up carving on weekends. Precious is learning how to knit for her daughter and for other Pokémon on Cianwood.

When Cragma returned to Cianwood again, Luke and Precious made plans to take many of their friends to Unova for an extended vacation of traveling. Along the way, Cragma found a mysterious stone that resulted in a Flygon warrior named Kusanya taking Cragma's place sometimes. Kusanya became confused about modern society, where war isn't as common as it supposedly is during her time period. She's on somewhat-friendly terms with Luke, but on more neutral terms with Precious. Apart from this setback, the trip was a success.

At home, Luke and Precious attempted to do research with books from the library in Cianwood to find out more about Kusanya and her culture. They also looked for ways to make it so Cragma and Kusanya could exist at the same time, but to no avail. After a few weeks, the two decided there was nothing more they could learn, much to Kusanya's chagrin.

During the month of September, Precious put her sewing skills to the test to surprise Luke with a dress for herself. Luke had previously expressed interest in seeing her in such a dress. After finishing the dress, the two spent a romantic time dancing with the Purugly on her hind legs. After dancing, that night, the two shared their first intimate moment together.

In late November, Precious discovered she was pregnant with twins.

Personality
Her personality used to be very self-centered, and she was obsessed with her own beauty, making it hard for her to get along with others. She always tries to be as proper and ladylike as she could be, and gets upset easily when she feels she has not met this expectation.

Precious is also interested in adventure, despite her obsession with elegance. She would consider her time at the guild the time when she felt the most alive if it weren't for Beans and Spike.

When she evolved into Purugly (and even shortly before that), Precious developed more cravings for food than she had before. Primarily having cravings for ginger ale and chocolate, she can lose control of herself when presented with something she finds especially delicious, but almost always regrets it later because it makes her seem less beautiful.

Trivia

 * She is named after the titular character from the 2009 film "Precious." It may also be reflective of how Purugly are noticeably overweight, but she had this name even as a Glameow.


 * As a Glameow, Precious' handle was "CoiledCatTails," for obvious reasons. "FaceFullOfFluff" is similarly obvious.
