{{INLINETOC}}

===== Appearance =====
Pastoria is a female anthro piplup from the [[Sunnyverse]]. Growing up, Pastoria attended schools that did not have a dress code. She wore the fashion of the time and her wardrobe was greatly influenced by her friends. However, her experience with [[harmonia university|Harmonia]]’s uncomfortable, restrictive uniform led her to her current outfit philosophy: comfort. Since leaving Harmonia, she began wearing light, thin clothing that allowed for a lot of flexibility in her movement. Pastoria’s neck flaps are also longer than other piplups, acting as a natural bra. 

===== Character =====

==== Education ====
Pastoria attended [[Harmonia University]] for her undergraduate studies, graduating with a B.S. Statistics Degree. After some talk about her future, she decided to continue her education at the recommendation by one of her professors. She ultimately decided on USSP due to recommendations by her professors, its strong Statistics program, and familiarity between faculty, thus giving weight to her letters of recommendation. She is currently a first-year graduate student working towards her masters in Statistics. 


==== TA Job ====
As a graduate student, Pastoria TAs a couple of sections as part of her financial aid provided by the university. Her position requires her to facilitate a minimum of 2 discussion sections. Pastoria tends to rely heavily on her pre-prepared notes since this is her first time teaching a large group of students younger than herself. 

===== Relationships =====
  * **[[Peter Pascal]]:** Now a student of USSP, Pastoria quickly familiarized herself with the faculty of the school. She especially noted Professor Pascal who, like herself, was a statistician who specialized in X. Eager to establish connections, she set up an appointment to meet him. Much to her surprise, Pascal was a piplup just like her! She was both shocked and very curious at the same time. During the meeting, she quickly introduced herself and asked to be mentored under the older piplup. Since then she closely works under Pascal in his research and also TAs the classes he teaches.
