some more kirby characters as pokémon :D some of these choices were really hard / kind of a stretch (like magolor and susie lol), and some other choices were just a PERFECT immediate fit (like adeleine, pitch, nago, etc.)

I want a Wander who is ageless, who has been alive as long as the universe or nearly so, and who remembers the formation of galaxies, but who is still struck by wonder every time they witness the birth of a star.

A Wander who, when they say “in my past,” can be talking about fifty years ago or fifty-thousand or ten billion, but who never clarifies because it’s all the same to them, because after so many years the whole of history is an endless string of memories and the exact when of something matters so much less than that it happened.

A Wander who spent those first few millennia alone and purposeless, and then who, the first time they saw someone else in pain, thought: I will not let anyone else feel the way I did. (They feel an echo of that helplessness every time they are faced with a villain they cannot convert, a situation they cannot make better, a friend they cannot keep.)

A Wander who never had a name, who doesn’t refer to themself as anything but me because the entirety of a person cannot be summed up by a single word, but who knows how much names mean to others and who graciously accepts the ones they are given. (Wander is one of their favorites so far, because it hits closer to their purpose than almost anything else they’ve been called.)

A Wander who existed before gender, and exists outside of it, donning whichever neutral pronouns are commonplace and shedding them as the move on, as transient as names.

A Wander who is themself before anything else, who existed before words and can exist without them.

A Wander who needs to see everything, to know, to find out and explore, who fixates on possibilities and cannot rest until they have looked around the corner, peeked into the box, known and listened to and soothed the insecurities in the mind of a friend or an enemy or a stranger in need.

A Wander who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt and believes in their goodness even when they don’t, first as a simple instinct and then as a conscious choice.

A Wander who remembers the face of every person they have ever helped, who observes and who catalogs and who makes lightning-quick plans with creativity and astute imagination, who hides those plans behind coincidence and distraction and excitement and their genuine desire to help.

A Wander who is a bad liar, certainly, but who has had years to practice misdirection, and who knows when and how to use it. (Who uses it almost too much, as a veil and as a hiding place, because they love the universe but they have no concrete faith the universe will love them back.)

A Wander who is always unsurprised to hear stories spread about them because it has happened before, who could hate the legends because they set unrealistic expectations (I can’t help everyone, no matter how hard I try), but who tolerates them instead because they give hope, which is even more important.

A Wander who refuses to be jaded, to lose hope, because the universe is vast and wide and beautiful and they know that what it needs most is simply as much love as their heart can give.
