Name: Paige Perrary
Age: 16
Gender: female
Appearance: Decently tall, slim body shape, long wavy blonde hair. Her face is often described as narrow and sort of pointy, with curious bluegreen eyes and a spray of freckles that seems to stay in her nose and cheek area. Her arms (unlike the picture) have some tattoos. Her right shoulder features a stylistic Zekrom head and tail, while her left upper arm has a fluffy Reshiram image wrapped around it. She plans to make tattoos of every dragon pokémon she meets on the journey face to face. The top of her back is reserved for Rayquaza, her dream encounter.
Hoenn is rather warm, so she most often wears jeans shorts and sleeveless tops. Since she doesn't enjoy wearing bras (and don't really need them, she often wears double tops instead, in layers. She carries her stuff around in a convenient backpack, and has a magnetic belt for holding 6 pokéballs. Make-up isn't something she usually bothers with, but she wears a number of necklaces and bracelets from various sources; some are gifts, some she made herself, some she bought or found. They all represent a person or a moment in her life.
Goals and Interests:* Aspires to meet as many dragon types and other really strong pokémon throughout her journey, or otherwise pokémon with strong willpower and independence. These things are important to her, and she wants to fill her arms with tattoos of dragon pokémon to remind herself of what she should value in life. However, somebody mentioned that it was a bit pretentious, so she decided to combine her pokémon journey with her filling the arms with tattoos.
* When not in school or helping her parents out with their work, Paige enjoys hanging out with friends and talk about anything and everything, doing yoga, doing photography and subsequent editing, playing the guitar and reading about pokémon myths as well as interesting achievements involving pokémon trainers. She is convinced that together, there is almost nothing a pokémon and a human cannot do, if they put their willpower into it.
* Since some time after her siblings were born, Paige started having strange recurring dreams, where she was a pokémon rather than a human. It is also a daydream of hers, to be a pokémon, and then preferably a dragon. Part of her wishes that it was possible somehow.
Strengths:+ Keen eye for details. Notices things some others might miss. Appreciates the little things and doesn't feel like she always needs to know reasons or meanings behind things in order to accept or enjoy them.
+ Physically fit, from living a healthy enough life and practicing yoga as a hobby.
+ Will always listen to what her pokémon wants and would never force it to battle. Even if she adores powerful pokémon, she will admire tiny, weak pokémon with big personalities as well.
Weaknesses: - Can sometimes lose track of the bigger picture and get lost in details. When others might question events or things people say, because they seem fishy, Paige might shrug and focus on what's relevant here and now.
- Not the most knowledgeable person in the world; doesn't keep up with news and isn't big on science. Sometimes she can misunderstand or not at all understand sciency or technical terms.
- In her quest for finding pokémon with strong individuality and willpower, she might forget to listen to her human companions and take their wants and needs into account as well. Humans are "boring" compared to pokémon, after all.
Brief History: Paige actually grew up in Lilycove with her parents but now more recently she lives in Rustboro, also with her little sister and brother - they are around a decade younger than she is, since her parents had her when they were still teenagers and later on felt ready for having more children. Her mother is a fashion designer in Rustboro City at a studio and aims to create her own brand soon. Her father is a manager at a clothing store, which he wants to eventually buy and own for himself, or together with his wife so that they can spread the Perrary brand. Paige's biggest treasures are her siblings, and part of why she decided to get Reshiram and Zekrom tattoos even though she hasn't seen them is because her sister loves the strong Zekrom and its lightning bolts, while her brother adores the powerful Reshiram and its firestorms. The pokémon and the tattoos remind her of her siblings, even when she is out on her journey.
