Backstory
Larkin is the adoptive brother of Leon and Hop! Also both of the podswick moms are his moms because they are a lesbian couple. Larkin has always been extremely camera shy as well as weary of strangers, so the media doesn't really know much about him. Larkin learned his cooking skills from his moms, and can often be found helping around the kitchen. As kids, Hop was the defacto leader and would come up with plans to get up to shenanigans while Larkin would just be along for the ride.
Hop honestly could have convinced Leon to endorse him years ago, but Hop wanted to wait until Larkin was ready so they could set out on their gym challenge together. That's not to say Leon hadn't seen Larkin's potential. Larkin had always been really good with pokemon, but didn't have the self confidence that he could be a pokemon trainer for a long time, basically up until roughly a year before the events of the game. Leon was absolutely ecstatic when Larkin asked for a pokemon of his own, which lead to leon bringing the three starts for larkin and Hop.
To quickly sum up Larkin's personality, he's shy, quiet, easily startled, very kind, and would honestly rather spend time with pokemon than people. He's just a really soft smol bean of sweetness and wholesomeness.

Fun facts about Larkin!
His outfit and overall style is inspired by zacian.
I know that there is a story behind why I chose the number 602, I just can't remember for the life of me why I chose that number. Ironic, considering that I distinctly remember spending time overthinking it waaaay too much.
Originally I was planning for Larkin to have a more mischievous personality, instead I got the human embodiment of a sobble.

Backstory
Sefu had a pretty normal childhood besides living next door to the champion. growing up he knew Leon well enough due to being best friends with Hop aswell as being their next door neighbor. Seriously Game Freak there is no way that Leon would have never met his little brother’s childhood best friend who lives right across the street before the events of the game. The only thing out of the ordinary about Sefu was his frequent escapades into the Slumbering Weald when no one was looking. he never ventured far into the woods, but he did watch and occasionally play with the wild low level pokemon. But what could you expect when it is literally in his backyard?
At the start of his pokemon journey Sefu was fairly reserved and inquisitive. As time went on he became more assertive and outspoken.
personality wise, he is clever and incredibly determined. He is a completionist in just about anything he does. He is a nerd and proud of it. He has had every possible type match up memorized since he was a kid, something Hop teases him for often. As mentioned before, Sefu is the only sane and functional brain in all of galar. He is very much the adult in the room. That being said, he does have a little bit of a secret mischievous side.
