ok so now i wanna hear about how u interpret geeta's family....
OUGH LORD. as i said this is kinda a very rough and a bit more Nemona heavy as she's kinda the center to all of this.
(for anyone else reading this, i am aware Nemona says she only has one sister, idc i love wrecking pokemon family trees BCJBVJ. She has 2 now.)
So Nemona is the youngest of 3 kids. Geeta is the oldest (and the "canon" one she talks about in game), she has a 2nd older sister and that is Nessa, the Galar gym leader. As Geeta runs two schools (hc she's the chairwoman of Blueberry academy too for a different thing) AND she runs the league/top champion, she kinda has her hands full so it's Nessa that their parents had slated to take over the Rotom phone business but she wants nothing to do with it. Like Nemona says, her parents were pretty hands off but more specifically with her. I don't think she had nowhere near as bad a family life as Arven or "annoying" as Penny (to her) but her parents def focused more on their business and their older kids more.
I haven't thought of why Nessa left fully (i don't super care for her as a character) but she's not really on speaking terms with her parents or Geeta (leaning towards some big fight). Nemona talks to her every once in a while but that's still kinda rare.
Nemona idolizes Geeta, we all know this. Because of how high up on a pedestal Geeta is for her now, it's hard to remember/view her as her sister. She's an inspiration and idol but that invisible wall she talks about feeling in her postgame chats DEF extends to Geeta.
Geeta loves her family but because of how busy her life is/that possible big fight, she doesn't talk or interact with them much outside of Nemona. She has also kinda forgotten how to just be a sister to Nemona and kinda more views her as a apprentice. I think her parents spent a lot more time on her succeeding/future than just like.. her as a person? Especially with her dad's fame and business growing. Treated her more like a budding business professional than their kid (and they could have tried this with Nessa to i think and she just didn't like it.) Geeta more or less took a lot of this to heart tho (especially as she was the "odd" child, i.e., autistic and her parents just, didn't get it. Tried very hard to make her into a "normal" kid. This did not help her with things like social ques/body language, what have you in the future). She doesn't really talk about her background/family/that type of stuff so she never really pieced together the idea of "hey maybe my parents shouldn't have done x/y/z??" (and since volo doesn't have much of any family background/experiences on top of her just not going into it ever, it's not something that ever really clicks for her.)
