Age: 14
Gender: Female
Hometown: Cerulean City, Kanto
Interests and goals:
Adventure: Clarity has lived a relatively sheltered life in Cerulean City. Her parents very aware of the many dangers out in the world through their professions have never wanted to let her leave on a journey like so many others, she is their only child and they don't want to lose her. Clarity however, is tired of her sheltered life and longs to see the rest of Kanto and eventually the other regions as well. Her main goal is to experience as much of the world as she can.
Gyms: Despite living a relatively sheltered life, Clarity has been training pokemon for a while and has done some part-time work at the Cerulean Pokemon Daycare in order to earn some spare cash and spend time with pokemon. Considering all the time she spends with pokemon and her desire for adventure it is perhaps unsurprising that Clarity intends to take on the pokemon league to add that to her list of experiences.
Breeding: Clarity's time working with the Pokemon Day Care has given her an immense respect for pokemon breeders and a love for working with all kinds of pokemon. With this said, she plans to build on her already rather considerable knowledge through the journey she plans to have in order to eventually settle down somewhere and become a breeder once she is done travelling.
Family: Clarity comes from an average-sized family with relatives living in a few other places in Kanto (and a cousin in Sinnoh). She is the only child of her parents and lives with them in Cerulean City although they are quite often visited by other members of their family who live in nearby cities.
Father: Thomas James - Thomas is member of the Cerulean Police force and a respected member of the community. He is a friendly and comedic man and, often to Clarity's annoyance, a doting father who isn't totally aware of his daughters growth as a person. Family is everything to Thomas and considering some of the things he has seen through his work he has no desire to see his "little girl" leaving on a journey.
Mother: Leah James - Leah is a caring, but serious woman who is dedicated to her work as a lawyer. She would never admit it, but Clarity is a lot like she was in her younger days which has given her a sympathy for her daughter's desperate desire to go on a journey although she is stubborn in her desire to protect her only child. Leah is well known for being strong willed and is highly respected for her legal work.
Cousin: Anastasia James - Anastasia is Clarity's twenty-one year old cousin who now resides in Jubilife City in the Sinnoh region. She, like her aunt, is very strong willed but she is also a free spirit who loves to live life to its fullest. Idolised by Clarity, Anastasia is a highly skilled pokemon trainer who has placed highly in the Kanto, Johto, Unova and Sinnoh leagues. She has since settled down with her fiancee whom she met in Sinnoh (and crushed in the league) but often goes on various adventures. It was she who convinced Clarity's parents to allow her to go on a journey so long as she had a bike and was good enough to beat Misty.
Strengths:
Training Experience: Although she has never left Cerulean City, Clarity is a talented trainer who has often taken part in friendly battles and competitions in her home city and who has been working with and raising pokemon for years even though she is only fourteen years of age.
Knowledge: Clarity is no genius, but is moderately intelligent and has a wide range of knowledge when it comes to pokemon due to her work with the Day Care, her experiences raising her own pokemon and her own research. This has lead to her being able to easily identify pokemon's strengths, weaknesses and assorted needs.
Attitude: Whilst like most people Clarity can fall into her slumps, she is a very resourceful and dedicated person who is more than willing to work for her goals and learn from her mistakes. Her dedication and enthusiasm earns her respect from most people she meets.
Weaknesses:
Sheltered Life: Perhaps Clarity's biggest weakness is how sheltered her life has been. Despite her skill at battling and her desire to undertake her journey she has never left Cerulean City and has always been under her parents watchful eyes.
Fear of Heights: Clarity is deathly afraid of heights after an incident when she was younger ended up her falling from the roof of a two-story building. She was badly injured but thanks to quick actions and thinking of doctors survived with only one lasting problem and a nasty care running down from a little below her collarbone to not far below her chest.
Weak Lungs: When Clarity fell from the roof (that she was told so many times not to climb) several of her ribs broke and her lungs was badly punctured. Doctors were able to repair most of the damage but she still has weaker lungs than most her age. This is a big reason for her parents overprotectiveness.
Bio: Poli was the first pokemon Clarity ever owned. He was bought for her from the local Day Care by her parents in an effort to teach the rambunctious Clarity responsibility. This didn't really work very well and was also the first step towards her wish to become a travelling trainer.
Bio: Given to her not long after Poli evolved, Clarity received Sylvia as a gift for her hard work at the Day Care from the elderly couple that run it when Sylvia was only an Eevee. She has since grown very close to Clarity who worked hard with her to help her evolve into a Sylveon and become a powerful battler.
Bio: Arrow was a bit of a trouble maker around Cerulean City at first and often attacked trainers pokemon. Recently however his attitude, whilst still fiery, has changed with his defeat and capture by Clarity. Now he seeks to become powerful alongside Clarity and her other pokemon. Arrow was the first pokemon Clarity caught by herself.
