#she probably still has hers so she could let nemona ride it that'd be cool

To start off with, I adore your Reckless fanfic about Rika X Juniper; my favorite scene was when Rika rode on her Mudsdale along with Juniper. I wanted to ask a question; do you consider / would Nemona be a horse girl / equestrian? I actually headcanon if Juliana took Nemona with her to the Crown Tunda for a vacation, Nemona ends up catching Spectrier and tames the Swift Horse to be her steed. Nemona can ride Spectrier alongside Juliana and her Raidon. If you consider Nemona to be an equestrian / horse girl, I would love to read any headcanons about that if you are willing to share. Thank you and have a Noble November!

First of all, thank you anon, you don't know how happy that makes me to hear-- seriously I am practically giddy somebody read and enjoyed that fanfic.

This is a very fun question. I've never considered it before, but now that I think about it I do agree Nemona could totally be a horse girl. I headcanon that Nemona and her sister used to be very close as kids, and her sister was always there for her even when her busy parents often weren't; but as they grew older they grew a lot more distant (esp. as her sister was vetted to be the next in line for the family biz). In my mind, Nemona's parents very likely showered their young kids with gifts to try to make up for the fact they often were not around, and buying your daughter a pony is such a cliche rich dad thing to do, so haha, I can just imagine Nemona's dad getting her a Galarian Ponyta (Galarian bc it's very sparkly and "girly" so that's what parents assume their daughters want).

The thought of Nemona & Juliana visiting Galar and taming Spectrier though!! That would be fantastic. I haven't even played the Crown Tundra DLC but DANG those 2 horse designs are awesome. I have this headcanon that Juliana and Nemona re-visit Ground Zero and capture the second Koraidon, so that Nemona has one to ride as well (maybe Jules even gifts it to Nemona), which would be especially great for Nemona so she doesn't have to deal with the Academy's steps or whatnot when she's fatigued. (I also decided the 'aggressive' Koraidon was female and the 'passive' one is male and they end up becoming friends in the end, maybe even mate and have baby Koraidon for Nemona and Juliana to raise, lol) But Nemona taming Spectrier instead is such a cool idea too, their steeds being different gives a really fun balance, plus the colors of red Koraidon/purple Spectrier matching Scarlet/Violet oooo . . . . I love that.

Spectrier is apparently a very wild, angry horse, but if anyone could soothe its rage surely it's the pure wholesomeness of Nemona~
