===>GENERAL DATA
Full Name: Imoen Patricia Gesenbow.
Age: 17.
Gender: Female.
==>IN-DEPTH
Appearance:
Imoen's family thinks of her as a fairly plain girl, overall. Her face is a pretty round shape with cheekbones not too prominent or depressed, a round button nose that curves up ever so slightly, and full lips that are constantly open, ever so slightly, and glossy with the only make-up she ever wears. Large blue orbs make up her eyes, as though she's staring at somewhere just over your shoulder, and are framed eyebrows and eyelashes just long enough to notice, but not long enough to surprise.
Despite her plain appearance, Imoen's has plenty of natural color to spruce up her perfectly pale skin, which burns in any heavy sunlight. Much of it is marred by a heavy smattering of freckles that cover her nose and cheeks, along with her sometimes bared shoulders. Besides her calming blue eyes, her head is framed by a brilliant ginger head of hair, cut into a simple style that hangs over either side of her face, doesn't get into her eyesight, and reaches down to her freckled shoulders.
Imoen's form isn't special, with an average bust size and hips that flare out just enough to fill her jeans properly, and long, slender limbs that could probably be defined as possessing a thickness below average. She possesses about as much musculature as any regular hiker, meaning she's more buff than most civilians, though she rarely flexes, so it doesn't show. One of the other slightly-interesting things about Imoen is that she has small feet, but it isn't enough to hold anyone's attention to the fairly pretty and not particularly interesting young woman.
Her attire is just as uninspiring as the rest of her. Imoen wears blue jeans, with no accessories, that are slightly worn from general use and have deep pockets. On her feet, she wears comfortable sneakers, white with red lining, with velcro straps and plain white socks underneath them. Adorning her torso is normally a brown haltertop that cuts off above her cleavage and hangs down just past the button of her jeans. If it's chilly, she puts on a brown jacket. She wears no watch, jewelry, or other accessories.
Personality
"Heya. It's just me; Imoen."
Imoen would like to be a Pokemon trainer because it's nice to show everyone just what a simple girl from a simple town with a simple look and a simple Pokemon can do, if they try. She has no grand schemes or motivations for going on her journey, and relatively few worries about going on it to begin with. There are lots of people like that already, and she's made unique by her lack of any such extraordinary attributes, besides wanting to prove to people that she can do it, if she wants to, and so could any other simple folk. Probably. They just...don't want to.
She's kind enough, on the general social level. She'll put up with people being idiots around her if she's in their homes and out on the street, pay vague attention to things she doesn't really care about so they don't think poorly of her, and she'll follow conventions in certain areas, like hanging her jacket on a peg, turning her phone off when she's entering a PokeCenter, or offering a polite prayer before dinner if she's in the home of a religious-type. And it makes her feel guilty to shirk people working for charities, so she gives them some money, too.
If asked what she likes, Imoen generally responds with "things", as they are what she likes. She likes to watch the sun rise and set, likes to visit beaches and parks when it's a nice day, as long as it won't burn her skin, and likes to avoid places that are generally wet, because it makes her hair frizzy, but, if the water's warm, she'll go for a swim in her navy blue one-piece swimsuit and have an ice cream afterwards as a naughty treat. She listens to music, but isn't too picky about it, and will listen to whatever comes on.
To name her flaws, she doesn't have much to say. She could probably stand to be less lazy and get some more exercise, besides walking, and eat less junk food, because it's bad for her teeth and her arteries. She only eats three pieces of fruit a day, takes place in no official sporting events besides the Pokemon League, and can have a short temper if she has overslept or underslept. She sometimes gets into arguments with her friends over petty things, but they're normally resolved pretty quickly.
She has a few quirks, though they're not very significant. She likes to have four sugars in her tea or coffee, and no milk whatsoever, and if she eats any pastries with icing, cream, or fruits on them, she licks those things off before nibbling away at the pastry itself. Her undies and pajamas, the latter being a proper pajama top and proper pajama pants, are marked for every day of the week, and, on special occasions, she enjoys the chance to wear something out of the ordinary, like a paper tiara or facepaint.
Sometimes, Imoen gets a bit angry, and when this happens, she uses her Magikarp like a club and beats them until they beg for forgiveness. This is her default mode when she enters Pokemon battles, as well; in such cases, she uses her Magikarp to beat opposing Pokemon into submission, and it's a tactic that has worked so far. Before she got her Magikarp, she carried around a freshly-caught fish that she used to beat people with, although those fights were a bit more messy, and she couldn't use the same one twice.
Background
Imoen's father was an accountant called Biff and her mother was a housewife going by the name of Naomi, and she lacks any siblings, besides a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. She grew up in the suburbs of Mauville city, where she had a few friends and visits from her family, and generally had a good childhood, with no events that stand out, besides a few funny stories to tell around the table and the fact that she didn't know what to do for a career as she grew older.
Passing into puberty was a curious experience for Imoen and the people around her. While she suffered no particular ill effects from it, such as acne, it also seemed to be affecting her differently from the other girls. She didn't take interest in boys, girls, animals, or even sockpuppets, and didn't much care for rebellion, either. The result of her puberty only became clear, one day, when she was spending some time at the mall with a few of her friends, and somebody passed by and made fun of her for being ginger.
Suffice to say, that teenager never made fun of her again, as he left with a bloodied nose and bits of haddock all over his clothes. She was swiftly brought to an anger management class for this curious event, and the psychiatrist could find nothing wrong with her, save for the fact that she would often go into rages when people insulted her, and that the only way to control it was to not insult her, keep her away from fish, and to try some medicine that would keep her at a low energy level.
Her parents, deciding that they knew best, decided to get Imoen a hobby, so she'd have something else to focus on, and it just so happened to be Pokemon training. And while it has provided a good outlet for her anger, so far, it's mostly just given her a re-usable fish and an excuse to hurt people, even though her reasons for doing, on a personal level, are to get people to stop thinking of simple civilians as simple. Because that tends to set off her rages...

Starter Pokémon
Ni the Magikarp
[Rattled]
Splash | Hydro Pump
Personality
Ni is like most other Magikarp, being simple and stupid, without any defining personality traits besides doing what they do best; that being eating and hitting things very hard. She likes her job, though, as she doesn't even have to splash around and hurl herself, like the other Magikarp, because her trainer does that for her. It's a good life.
