Name: Carey Juneau
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Carey isn't the type to stand out in a crowd intentionally, so being an average 5'4'' suits her perfectly. Weighing in at around 100 pounds, she is light for her age and height, but wears her petite frame well. Carey is naturally pale, with perfectly average features. Her dark blonde hair falls around her shoulders, with side bangs (I use the term fringe, being British) which sweep over her startlingly green eyes, which are large and emotive. Carey was never particularly sporty, but is able and fit for travel, and has a knack for climbing which was born into her. She is free from piercings, but does have a small tattoo of a treble clef behind her ear which most aren't aware of.
Carey favours a pair of light denim short-dungarees, which bear a pocket on the breast. Beneath this, she will often wear a white t-shirt with an orange stripe around the sleeve. She will almost never be found in anything that covers her legs, although she will resign herself to wearing a light jacket if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Carey will wear a pair of Dr. Martin-esque lace up boots which rise half way up her calves, above which a pair of orange socks are just visible. To match these she wears orange wristbands, and carries an orange shoulder bag, to the strap of which she attaches her pokeballs.
Faction: Trainer
Personality: Being one of the youngest of a large family, Carey doesn't expect to be heard, and has accommodated that. At a glance, Carey is very much kept to herself, and is first and foremost a thinker. At the risk of appearing socially ignorant, Carey doesn't wish to instigate conversation, struggles to initially make friends and is often perceived as odd. However, once the original barrier is broken, Carey allows herself to trust those who have shown her compassion and kindness, and is able to create lasting, loyal friendships.
When amongst friends, Carey is considerably more outgoing, and could even come across as rude or condescending when she forgets to double-check what she says. She is very excitable and reacts with enthusiasm to any situation when she is surrounded by people she knows and trusts. She tries not to act impulsively but sometimes gets caught up in the moment. She will protect her friends and Pokemon before herself, and is generally loyal, kind and genuinely helpful to anyone who needs it, despite her first impressions. It is said by some that she is a completely different person once you crack the shy exterior, but this has rarely been done in the past. She would rather spend time with Pokemon than with people, in the knowledge that she is often judged as strange or intolerable by her peers.
History: The Juneau family reside in Violet City, and it is in Johto where Carey and her siblings were born and bred. Carey's father was very much into his Pokemon and as a teenager he travelled and attempted the Gym Challenge in the Kanto region. As money got tight however, Carey's father was forced to give up his dream of Pokemon champion as he took up a job in the newly opened Radio Station in Goldenrod City, Johto. Still finding time to train his Pokemon and keep the station in check, he and his wife started a family, setting up camp in Violet City. His love of Pokemon was born into his 7 children, all of which had great aspirations and promise. Carey was the fifth born in the Juneau family and was content with reading her books in her room, away from the noise of her siblings. Her potential was overlooked by her family, with much focus being on the siblings which had earned 6 Gym Badges, became successful Gym Leaders and Breeders, or travelled to other regions to become contest champions.
Carey's intelligence and compassion for Pokemon wasn't ignored by all however. Carey's frequent visits to Mr Pokemon on Route 30 had given her the closest she had come to a friend. Mr Pokemon saw Carey's unhoned skill and encouraged her to seize the opportunity to make something of herself; to go to a new region, where young trainers were free to prove themselves to those who couldn't see that age was nothing but a number.
