Faelyrian, or Fae for short, is Jocelyn's first partner pokémon that she met as a toddler in Hoenn. At the time, Fae was a Ralts and was drawn to her similar Lonely nature.

Faelyrian is a male Gardevoir that stands a little taller than average at 5'5" or 168 cm. For reference, his Trainer stands at 5 feet or 152 cm while the average Gardevoir is 5'3" or 162 cm. Fae is also more solidly built than the typical Gardevoir thanks to his nature's higher Attack stat increase. His horn is also slightly sharper than what's typical, so he's very careful with hugging.

Faelyrian is skilled in battling due to Jocelyn taking him practically everywhere with her through her journeys. He has scars, but I didn't depict them here since Fae doesn't like showing them (think of his psychic abilities masking them). The scars are from close calls during more intense battles where Fae pushed himself to protect his Trainer.

The arm brace he wears is a felted rose that stores his carry item. Most of the time Faelyrian has a Life Orb set within the rose petals, other times, it's a Gardevoirite. These items are of Fae's own choosing as he is willing to do anything for his Trainer. His most powerful move is Return as such.

Faelyrian is wary of strangers and does not open up to anyone he hasn't known for a while. Jocelyn had been the exception to this back when they were young due to their shared struggles of being bullied at the daycare. As such, Fae speaks directly to her via telepathy. He has a well-mannered way of behaving and speaking, and that's mostly due to the positive reception his Trainer has to it. Fae does not mind his Trainer's odd habits or behavior because it makes her happy and he likes when she is happy.
