Pokemon sun moon tv tropes
More Than Mind Control: While Nihilego controls her to some extent, it also takes advantage of her innermost feelings, namely her lifelong desire to finally meet an Ultra Beast, which it exploits so that Lusamine refuses to leave with her children.Mama Bear: Once she learns the truth about what Faba's been up to and realizes that her carelessness led to Lillie becoming afraid of Pokémon, she becomes this towards her children.
Locked Out of the Loop: She had no clue that Faba had summoned an Ultra Beast and caused Lillie's trauma until Gladion told her the truth.Late-Arrival Spoiler: She's Lillie and Gladion's mom, which was a massive spoiler in the original game.Jerkass Realization: She realizes how far she has put her work over her children when Gladion calls her out on it and reveals the truth about what happened to Lillie that made her unable to touch Pokémon, something she was always too busy to notice or even question for years.Innocently Insensitive: She clearly has no malicious intent with teasing Lillie, but she fails to realize how demeaning this is to her.However, she eventually realizes that this obsession is getting in the way of her family life, and is completely turned on its head when it makes her easily fall under Nihilego's control. Goal in Life: Lusamine's dream is to one day encounter an Ultra Beast for herself.Glamorous Single Mother: Subverted although she provides her children with a wealthy lifestyle, her job gets in the way of her being a proper mother.Genius Ditz: She's a highly intelligent scientist and businesswoman despite acting like a flaky Woman Child half the time.Fiction 500: She basically turns the Pokémon School building into an Elaborate Underground Base with overly-fancy entrance and exit on an idle whim.Early-Bird Cameo: Like Gladion, she appears in the family portrait in Lillie's house long before her debut.Dishing Out Dirt: After fusing with Nihilego, who is a Rock-type, she gains the ability to manipulate the rocks and land itself in the Ultra Deep Sea.Played with when she fuses with Nihilego, turning her blonde hair dark indigo and brainwashing those very Pokémon, all of whom aren't afraid to hurt Ash and her children when they get in her way.
However, when one does show up, she can't help flash a blank smile amidst a problematic situation. As for her obsession with Ultra Beasts, while still a source of tension between her and her kids, it's not nearly as sinister and is presented as more of a distraction from her family. Adaptation Personality Change: Lusamine is quite the opposite of the cold, controlling mother she was to Lillie in the games, instead being an overly-affectionate womanchild, with Lillie being unafraid to visually and vocally show her exasperation toward her.Adaptational Heroism: While certainly a flawed person with her workaholic nature, she is also a good person who deeply loves her children, and she has a genuine desire to help preserve the world's Pokémon, a far cry from the cold and disturbed woman she was in the games (More so in vanilla SM than USUM).Voiced in Latin American Spanish by: Marisol Romero
