Sinatra

Sinatra is Kimberly Bond's Furret, and the second Pokemon she acquired on her journey.

Personality

Sinatra, much like his namesake, is snarky and charismatic, with a bit of a hair-trigger temper. He is probably the most sane member of Kimberly Bond's team with the exception of Ozzy, and can be a bit vain, especially while performing; just before his performance of "New York, New York" he told the crowd that if they didn't enjoy his performance, "(they) got no taste in music". Additionally, during the Battle of the Bands, he became rather miffed when he didn't get the chance to play the trumpet (only two performances happened that day; Sinatra was supposed to play the trumpet on "Vienna", which was never performed). He has a tendency to snark at everything around him, but genuinely does mean well; due to this, Kim very often compares him to Colton in terms of general personality. In battle, he much prefers to fight first and ask questions later, more or less making him the exact opposite of Paul. He's not as into battling as Dio is, though, and will still use status moves-- most notably Foresight, which he can use to shock Ghost-type Pokemon who don't otherwise expect it.

Like Paul, he absolutely adores his namesake's music, and has a very powerful singing voice that both Kim and Paul have referred to as beautiful. Sinatra has a strong sense of justice, much like Ozzy and Dave, as evidenced by his righteous anger when he found out about what happened to Dio for the first time (namely, Dio was gaslighted and scarred by his old, abusive Trainer). Additionally, despite his hair-trigger temper and his vanity, he is still very much a supportive friend to the rest of Kim's team members, and can be somewhat gentle when he needs to be, particularly in regards to the easily panicked Freddie. The most notable example of this was when he comforted Geddy over the death of Neil Peart, and also when he gently (if bluntly) convinced Freddie to come along with the rest of the team in order to do so. He has a thick Brooklyn/Jersey accent and plays the trumpet in New Dawn's Dreamers.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: SINATRA THE SENTRET. VERY CHARISMATIC. LIKES TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. APPARENTLY HE HAS A STUBBORN STREAK, ACCORDING TO THE POKEDEX. THAT WOULD EXPLAIN HIS LOVE OF "MY WAY", THEN. WONDER IF HE KNOWS THAT TECHNICALLY, THAT SONG'S KALOSIAN. HE ALSO HAS A BROOKLYN ACCENT AND PLAYS THE TRUMPET. I WASN'T INTENDING TO HAVE A TRUMPET SOLO IN MY BATTLE OF THE BANDS PERFORMANCE, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE WE CAN FIT ONE IN THERE SOMEHOW. JUST GOTTA THINK OF A SONG THAT COULD WORK..."
