Appearance

Concept artwork of Perrin.

Perrin is a slender young woman with blue, green and blonde hair and brown eyes. Her hair and eyes are not unlike that of her ancestor. She is seen carrying her camera and wearing a wristwatch, a black crop top, white undershirt, blue jeans held by a black belt with a hole on the leg, a purple choker and a black armband. On her feet, she wears purple socks and white sneakers.

Personality

Perrin is a playful, easygoing, and friendly young lady. She, however, once felt she lost her spark in her photographer career, believing she no longer had the passion to be a photographer herself. Luckily, she regains her passion after her experience with the player helps her recall her initial enjoyment for photography.

Biography

The player first meets Perrin in Mossui Town while on their Kitakami school trip, where she has come to take pictures of a certain Pokémon: a special Ursaluna known as the Bloodmoon Beast, which arrived to Kitakami from her homeland of Sinnoh.

Once the player registers 150 Pokémon in the Kitakami Pokédex, Perrin will battle them to see their strength, before telling them about the Bloodmoon Beast she is searching for. She tells the player that the Ursaluna has been sighted at Timeless Woods and asks them to meet her there.

In Timeless Woods, Perrin gets attacked by a wild Ariados but is ultimately saved by the player, who helps her set up a tent before waiting for a foggy night, during which the player needs to photograph 10 different species around the Woods. During this, she tells the player about how she used to be a successful photographer, but has been feeling like she has lost her spark for photography, so she hopes that getting photos of the Bloodmoon Beast would get her back on the road with photography. Eventually, the player finds the Ursaluna Perrin has been searching for, and she goes to take a photo of it, but her camera's flash angers the Bloodmoon Beast, forcing the player to battle and eventually capture it. Perrin goes back to Mossui Town to get her photos developed, but they end up coming out blurred and out of focus. Despite this, she says she has regained her passion for photography thanks to her experiences with the player. She will then give the player one of her Hisuian Growlithe to take care of and a Choice Scarf.

During the Indigo Disk, the player can meet Perrin again at the Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where she has come to get promotional pictures for the academy. She says she has a "hot tip" for the player but decides not to share it with them until they have registered 200 Pokémon from the Terarium. Once they do so, she shows them photos of previously unknown Paradox Pokémon sighted in Area Zero within the Great Crater of Paldea and asks the player to find them for her; Scarlet players will be able to catch Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt, while Violet players will be able to catch Iron Crown and Iron Boulder instead. Once the player has caught one of the two or both species of their version, they can head back to Perrin, where she takes pictures of the species they have caught. She then rewards the player with a Sport Ball before going back to her work.

Trivia

• Perrin is able to use both of her hands to perform tasks; being able to use her camera with either her left or right hand.
• She is aware of Sinnoh's past as Hisui, and has been using Adaman's catchphrase "time wasted is lost" due to familial influence.
• Perrin uses a Noctowl and a Leafeon in her battle against the player, referencing the passage of time and her ancestor, Adaman, who uses a Leafeon as well.
• Perrin has special dialogues related to the Growlithe she has entrusted to the player during the Teal Mask at the Terarium:
  • If the player hasn't evolved the Growlithe by the time she and them meet again, she will encourage the player to consider adding the Growlithe as a part of their team and go on adventures with it.
  • If the player has already evolved the Growlithe, Perrin will be impressed, and is happy to have her own Growlithe reunited with the player's Arcanine.
