Name: Tabitha (Tabby) Fray
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Hometown: Nimbasa City, Unova
Personality:
Tabby rotates between two battling styles: The first being to frustrate her opponents. Examples include using the thunderwave/airslash combination, volt switching between two electric types so they take twice as long to defeat, or locking a Pokemon into an ineffective move with encore (IE Earthquake on a flying type). The second is to be completely, utterly reckless. For example: using self-destruct/explosion when the chips are down. These strategies might not be the best, but according to Tabby, they are the most fun, and that’s the point. What’s the point in winning if it’s all you ever think about? Life’s too short to have only one goal, and it’s the journey that matters, not the destination.
Speaking of the journey, there is no place Tabby won’t go, and she’ll love every second of it. From the deepest cave to the tallest shopping mall, if you need a friend for the journey, Tabby will gladly be that friend…even if she’s never met you. People make the Pokemon journey all the more exciting, she believes, thus she loves meeting and interacting with as many as possible.
Whether you find it charming or obnoxious, Tabby is incredibly hyperactive. She does not do well staying in one place for too long, and if she has the chance, she will choose the most difficult of the paths available to her. Fly back to the city? No way! Let’s cross the desert! Who knows what we’ll find out there!
This could make her a bit difficult to handle for the traveling partners she is determined to find.
Strengths:
Confident -- Tabby believes she can accomplish anything, with enough persistence and energy.
Friendly -- Everyone is a friend until proven otherwise.
Brave/risk taker-- A dangerous situation will not stop Tabitha, in fact, she'll seek them out.
Weaknesses:
Reckless -- Tabby spends the majority of her life rushing into situations without giving any thought to the danger said situation might present.
Hyperactive -- Like the Energizer Bunny, she just keeps going, and going, and going... Often choosing to skip meals or sleep in order to continue on her journey.
Naive: Tabitha's friendly attitude makes her all too easy to take advantage of.
Appearance: At 5’6, she is a decent height for a female. Since she has such trouble standing still, and occasionally forgets to slow down and eat, she is slightly thinner than average. Tabby doesn’t have one set fashion style; she can wear a casual
jeans/jacket/t-shirt outfit one day and a
flashy skirt/top outfit the next, it all depends on how she feels that day. Similarly she travels with a decent amount of hair chalk, and colors a strand or two of her hair in a different color each day.
History: Tabitha's mother relocated herself and her daughter to Nimbasa city following a messy divorce from her husband. She believed the excitement of such a bustling city would help Tabitha (then age eight) cope with all the necessary changes implemented into her young life. Tabitha quickly took to the Carnival city, its multitude of theme parks and attractions being the perfect place for a child so hyperactive and thrill-seeking.
As she grew older, Tabitha came to deeply admire the city's gym leader, Elesa, not so much due to her prowess as a model, but because of the absolute frustration she often saw on challengers faces after they left the gym: Her tag-teaming Emolga-volt switch strategy left a great deal of her opponents baffled and Tabitha star-struck.
Eventually the (now teen) Tabitha asked if she could join the gym in order to be trained by her idol. While Elesa admired the young girl's spirit, she also recognized that Tabitha had a lot of growing up to do before she could undergo any serious training. She suggested Tabitha first go on a journey of her own, discover things about herself that one can only discover when pushed to their limits.
The idea struck true with Tabby, who quickly became beyond excited at the idea of going on a perilous quest of self discovery. She decided this journey would take her away from Unova, to another region far, far away, where everything would be unfamiliar, and thus that much more exciting. It was the story of Red, a young trainer who almost single-handedly took down a giant criminal organization, that brought her to choose the colorful region of Kanto.
Once she made her decision, she returned to Elesa to tell her the news. Said gym leader, thrilled her advise was so well received, presented the new trainer with an Emolga egg to take on her journey.
