(This sounds like a lot of fun. Looking forward to it!)
Name: Shai Tyler (Pronounced "Shy")
Age: 15
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Appearance: Shai is slightly tall for her age and is very lean. She is a bit lanky, but everyone tells her it's just an awkward phase. Her deep brunette hair, which contrasts sharply with her shocking grey eyes, falls just past her shoulders and is generally slightly wavy. On rainy days, however, it will uncontrollably form a giant mess of curls, causing her frustration to no end. She can usually be found sporting cargo pants, which she finds incredibly useful for holding all of her knick knacks, and a fitted tee. Her most striking feature is the nearly perfect smile that always seems to be present on her face.
Personality: Ironically, Shai is anything but shy. The highly extroverted teen always seems to be looking for her next challenge. She has little reservation in meeting new people, jumping on any opportunity to make a new friend or even a spirited rival. Shai is quite genial and easy to get along with, and she is very loyal and committed to those who she feels have earned her lifelong friendship. Her never-ending drive has propelled her to begin her journey to become a Pokemon Master, and she absolutely will not stop until she achieves that elusive goal.
History: Hailing from White City, Shai set off on the long path to achieve her coveted dream. She had always grown up with the ambition of becoming the greatest trainer the Rokua region had ever known. Her parents had always immersed her in the world of Pokemon, her father being a world class trainer and her mother rather famous breeder. Growing up, her family had also run a Pokemon day care, and Shai has always played an active part in the business. Now setting off on her own journey, the ambitious teen is accompanied by a young Cyndaquil that her mother had bred from her prized Typhlosion. The small Pokemon seemed to have an unnatural attachment to her, so her mother found it fitting that the Cyndaquil become Shai's first Pokemon of her own. Shai was overjoyed, and with her new companion by her side, the pair soon set off for Cliffedge City, seeking their first badge and beyond that, the path to greatness.
Pokemon: Cyndaquil
Gender: Male
Obtained: Bred by her mother, given to Shai because of their intense bond from the beginning.
Personality: Cyndaquil is slightly naive because of its age, but is unwavering in its loyalty to Shai. Like her, the small fire Pokemon is incredibly eager to take on any challenge that may be presented.
