(Picture is not owned by me)
Sara is around five feet five inches with dark tanned skin and a very slim build. She has short, brown hair done up in a ponytail with some white dye at the end. She has a oval shaped face and her eyes eyes are small and are a light green in colour.
Sara’s clothing include a red tank-top with a
jacket that looks like this but white in colour, the sleeves ending at the elbow and a Pokeball design on the back. Her pants are smoke grey skinny jeans with a belt that has the wing of a Togekiss as a belt buckle and she wears white slip-ons. Sara has a red bandana with some white flames on it on her neck, and a gold bracelet in the shape of a Serperior eating its own tail on her right wrist.
Personality: Sara has a very rebellious nature. She has never liked following 'the man' and usually does things her own way. This, of course, gets her into quiet a bit of trouble. Indeed, she is no stranger to the police. Never for anything serious and she has never been in confinement for longer than a week, though it has not stopped her from committing these actions. Sara is also quite loud and likes to voice her own opinions no matter what others may feel about it. Also, she has problems paying attention to anything due to her ADHD. This can led her to suddenly change the conversation or to ignore someone who was talking to her. She doesn't mean to do any of these things and tries to pay attention, but she isn't very good at it.
But, despite all of this, Sara has a great love for Pokemon. In fact, the only times she seems to behave is when there is a Pokemon involved. Though, over all, she is a decent person and will help others if she feels they truly need it. This isn't very often for she has a great distrust of most people, other than her brother, in general. Sara believes that most people are out to get her and that it would be better if she didn't trust anyone. Though, as mentioned before, she will open up completely to a Pokemon, even if it doesn't really understands her.
History: Sara was born and raised in Cherrygrove, and hated every second spent there. Born to the owners of the local Pokemart, she was often by herself and left to her own devices. She had an older brother, but he was her senior by nearly ten years though he did love her and played with her. However he soon went off to college and gained a job that took him to Hoenn and there weren't many children in the town. The few that there were soon left to become Pokemon Trainers. Her parents, however, did not approve of her following the same path due to her ADHD. This caused no end of frustration for the young girl which caused her condition to become worse which lead to more trouble and bad grades at school.
Her parents were at their wit's end by the time Sara became 16 and it was clear that she would most likely have to drop out of highschool. Knowing that her brother was the only person she ever really listened to, they sent her to Hoenn to live with him for a year. Sara loved this and did everything she possibly could to avoid getting either herself or her brother into trouble. While not always successful she was able tone it all down, much to his relief.
Then came the day she got to directly meet a Pokemon that wasn't owned by a trainer. When she was taking a walk through the cliffs outside of Fallarbor, where her brother worked as a geographic scientist, and saw a Swablu fly overhead. She followed after it, not paying attention to her surrounding and fell off a cliff to another one a five feet down. This not only cause her to break her left ankle but also disturbed a Serviper who attacked to defend itself. Sara thought that this would be the end of her when a Zangoose appeared and attacked the Serviper. The two held a heated before the Zangoose was able to deal enough damage to the Serviper and make it retreat.
The Zangoose, wounded but standing, then disappeared back into the bushes. Sara, though grateful for the Zangoose's help, now was scared that she would be stuck here without anyway of getting help or food. Not to mention powerless to any Pokemon that may wish her harm. The bushes rustled again and Sara feared the worst when the Zangoose from before appeared carrying a large amount of Oran berries. He gave the girl half of the berries and quickly devoured the other half himself. Sara was amazed at this kindness and also ate the berries, though they were not able to cure her ankle. As night fell the Zangoose cuddled up to Sara to keep her warm. It was at this time that she finally noticed that he only had one usable eye and covered in scars.
Early the next morning Sara heard her brother's voice and called back so that he could find her. When the Zangoose looked up she was afraid that he would run away but, to her delight, he did not even when her brother and the rest of the search party appeared and pulled her up. He even followed her into the town and was with her every chance he could. Though her brother was hesitant at first, he soon let go of his worry when he saw that the Zangoose meant no harm and even convinced the doctors to allow it into her room.
Sara and the Zangoose, who she called Tavi, became inseparable after that. Though he would not allow himself to be put into a Pokeball, Tavi always stayed by Sara's side and making sure that his good eye was always on her, including when she went back to Jhoto.
Reason to join the club: Though it took a few years still, Sara was finally able to convince her parents to allow her to go become a Pokemon trainer. She had heard of this Trainer's club from many trainers mentioning it when they came to her parent's store. Knowing that he knowledge of Pokemon was lackluster at best, she figured this would be the perfect place to learn more about Pokemon and to develop skills with Tavi when it comes to battling.
