Finally got done with my SU. Sorry it took so long (and that the app itself is long). ^_^;
OOC:
Username: Xanthine
What You Would Like Us to Call You: Jax. Old username, so most people call me that.
Basic Character Info.:
Name: Isidora Wheeler
Nicknames: Izzy
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Hometown and Region: Vermilion City, Kanto
More Detailed Character Info. 1 - Appearance:
Appearance: Naked, Izzy is a young woman of average height (roughly five-six) and average build. (Muscular, but not overly so.) She boasts smooth, tan skin and a long face with narrow, hazel eyes set high on it. Crowing her head are soft, chin-length waves, very clearly dyed golden blonde and almost always pulled back in a ponytail. (As a note, her hair color is artificial, but it's clear that her skin color is not.) There's really nothing else that's particularly striking about her, save for a blue butterfly tattoo at the small of her back, just to the right side. Good luck spotting it, however.
Average Attire: Izzy feels most comfortable in dark green cargo pants (loose fit), a pair of black jump boots, and a dark purple t-shirt with a rose done in silver on its face. On top of the t-shirt is a brown G-1 fighter jacket (the kind with the fur collar), usually open and dotted with patches on the breasts. (The patch on the right depicts a space shuttle surrounded by silver stars on a black background. The one on the left appears to be a silver Pidgeot on a red background.)
Formal Attire: For special occasions, Izzy puts up all of her hair (save for a few curling locks in the front to frame her face) in a bun. Apart from that, it depends on her mood. She'll just as likely be wearing a black tuxedo with a dark purple cummerbund (along with a white dress shirt, black bow tie, and shined, black shoes) just as much as she would women's wear. Should she choose to dress appropriately for her gender, she'll don a long, dark purple evening gown with silver sequins sewn in a wave starting from the bottom hem and sweeping up and to the left to her left hip. Additionally, she'll wear a simple, dark purple choker and a pair of diamond earrings.
Attire for the Cold: Izzy adores her fighter jacket, and for that reason, she'll try to wear it, even if it's bitter cold. Underneath that, she'll switch her t-shirt for a black turtleneck and keep the same pants and boots. Additionally, if it's particularly cold, she'll don a brightly colored (predominantly pink and brown) scarf, a pair of dark purple earmuffs, and brown faux suede gloves.
Accessories: Unfortunately, Izzy is practically blind, and as a result, she wears a pair of wire-rimmed, oval-shaped glasses at all times. Additionally, she'll never go anywhere without a beige messenger bag decorated with patches of various colors similar to the ones on her jacket. Around her waist, because of the bagginess of her jeans, she wears a black belt that also secures her Poké Balls. Finally, she often wears a pair of rainbow, star-shaped earrings and a pink watch.
More Detailed Character Info. 2 - Personality:
Likes: Coffee, spicy foods, and tinkering with mechanical things. (Her bag carries a small tool kit more than it does a makeup kit.) She's also very fond of company of all kinds, and battling often gives her a thrill.
Dislikes: Clingy people, people who constantly complain, people who patronize her, people who attempt to confront those she cares about, and, for whatever reason, cake.
Strengths: Izzy is, well, smart. Very smart. Remember that bit about loving to tinker? She can pretty much take a heap of scraps and turn it into something she can use. She's also fairly good at science, so for that matter, not only can she figure out, on the field, what combined with what makes a big boom but also how fast a Pokémon needs to go for its attack to hurt. Additionally, she can also spot small details and draw from situations logical conclusions.
Weaknesses: She's not good at giving advice, but unfortunately, she thinks she is. Izzy is more of a doer than a sayer, so she can think clearly if she's the one in the situation (as in, if she's the one on the battlefield), but if it's someone else? "Yeah, sure, go ahead and use Thunderbolt on that Starmie while you and your Pokémon are standing in a pool of water. That'll go over great. Trust me." On top of that, she also doesn't quite know when to shut up, she's a bit on the tactless side, and I'm not kidding when I say she's blind without her glasses.
Personality: Izzy is, in short, perky. Despite her leanings towards logic and her somewhat sarcastic tongue, she's at heart an optimist. For example, if her house burst into a ball of flame, her pet Pokémon died, her manager (if she had one) decided to fire her, and she just stepped in a pile of Pokémon feces, she'd simply shrug and say, "Well, it could be worse." For this, she's also incredibly friendly and very happy to help others (even if they don't want her help), and she's a bit of a social butterfly. She's the kind of person who would sit down at a truck stop and talk to all the truckers, simply because she likes spreading around her sunny disposition.
That isn't to say she's not at all capable of negativity. In fact, she's actually quite critical of other people and can potentially be blunt, particularly to people she either knows well or doesn't particularly care for. However, when she does it, she tries to be on the motherly side and thus has a tendency baby people she thinks need her help. For that, it can be said she's incredibly loyal and a bit too much on the generous side, given that she's willing to give a lot of what she owns to other people (save for, oddly enough, that jacket she's so fond of). She's also intensely confrontational when someone attempts to harm or insult her friends or family (or, for that matter, herself). Unfortunately, this also means she gets into her fair share of fights, which, frankly, she doesn't particularly mind because she also has a fondness for coming out as the victor in any argument she can.
Additionally, Izzy is the opposite of lazy. She's always on the go, and she needs to be doing something at all times. If she isn't, she starts getting bored, and when she gets bored, she starts doing things like taking apart all the appliances in a house. She's smart and can easily put them back together, but still, her mind wanders, and that's a bad thing.
More Detailed Character Info. 3 - History:
Family: Alexander (father), Yolanda (mother), Felix (older brother by three years), Rosario (older brother by one year), Paulino (younger brother by two years).
Acquaintances: Her best friend is a young man (of the same age) by the name of Ethan Spencer. He's currently in Johto, and the two haven't spoken for quite some time.
Past: Once upon a time, a young sailor traveled all around the world on a cruise liner. He was a fairly clean sailor. Never drank, never swore, definitely didn't get into many brawls. He simply did his job and enjoyed whatever sights he might have gotten. One day, however, when his ship was docked, he went onto land to see what he could find, and there, he found a beautiful coordinator and instantly fell in love. He paid for her boat ticket with his own earnings (after buying her a drink or two), and the two were married onboard after a year of traveling together. Eventually, they chose to settle down in Vermilion City, a port city far from their original homes but filled with life and culture that they could experience together.
Not long after, Izzy and her brothers were born.
Izzy's childhood wasn't particularly exciting or filled with wealth. Her mother went back to school and eventually became an assistant at the Pokémon Center. Her father took up a job as a trainer and janitor for the Vermilion Gym. She, meanwhile, went through school (where she'd met her best friend, Ethan), tried her best to keep up with grades, and, when the opportunity came to get her trainer's license, opted for staying in Vermilion to study. (After all, she wanted to be a rocket scientist, not a Pokémon trainer.)
What really changed her mind, however, were the stories her brothers and best friend sent home. Each one leapt at the chance to leave, and now, her oldest brother was a tournament champion, her next one was a famous coordinator, and the last was taking on the Battle Frontier. As different as they were, each brother told Izzy all about vast, unexplored lands and exciting adventures with Pokémon partners, and Ethan himself was going to the Ruins of Alph as a trainer-turned-fledgling researcher. Listening to each story, for once, Izzy's heart yearned to leave the port town. In response, her eldest brother forwarded an invitation to go to the Necro Region, suggesting she go in his place.
So, for that, she was on the next boat there.
