Rei Takabia
"Well... You're not entirely useless. Maybe you could carry my bag for me."
17 // Blackthorn City // Female
Appearance
Rei stands at a height of about 5'8". She sports a fair skin complexion, which is offset nicely by her intense, violet eyes and wild, crimson-red hair. It is quite long, easily reaching down well past her lower back. She keeps most of her hair pulled back into a tall and wild ponytail, with her bangs framing the sides of her face. Her soft facial features make her quite easy on the eyes. Her body build is somewhat slender, yet still accented with curves in all the right places. Rei has a small scar on the back of her left shoulder, one that she obtained when she was much younger as a result of a fall she experienced when climbing a tree.
In terms of clothing, Rei often tries to put equal focus onto both comfort and style. She is most comfortable when wearing sneakers and denim jeans. Her preferred style is to wear them slightly flared, usually with some sort of design to accentuate their appearance. Rei often wears a long-sleeved t-shirt for a top. She prefers to wear these in darker colors, usually in the hue of a deep violet or black. Most of her tops are a bit lower in cut, so Rei will commonly wear a tank top or something of the sort underneath to preserve some form of modesty. She usually completes her look by wearing a red, leather belt around her waist and a pair of crescent moon-shaped earrings in her ears. When traveling, Rei keeps all of her trainer goods in a dark purple shoulder bag that she wears off her left shoulder. She keeps the balls of her Pokémon on a stylish, bracelet-like accessory on her right wrist.

Personality
A headstrong and determined young woman, Rei outspoken and not afraid to give her opinion on things. Always willing to rise to new challenges, she does not take things into consideration such as impossible or difficult. Rather, Rei makes it her goal to find solutions and each challenge that comes her way is a stepping stone to new ways of testing her power and growing stronger as a trainer who will be worthy of becoming the next master of the Dragon's Den.
That said, she tends to be quite cocky and egotistical. Rei sees herself as a force to be reckoned with, and she is not exactly shy about this feeling either. Why one could potentially see her dedication and determination to being a strong and unrivaled Pokémon trainer as admirable, it also boarders along the line of obsessive. She can push herself beyond healthy limits, and can potentially treat her Pokémon with the same regard. Rei is quick to hold a grudge. She tends to see many around her on a lesser level than her, and she's not shy to let them know it.
When she's not training her Pokémon or seeking out stronger opponents, Rei likes to spend her time drawing. It's been a stress reliever she's had since she was a small child, and can often be seen carrying a small notebook and pencil with her to at the very least due some sketching during her downtime. Rei tends to draw whatever interests her at the time, ranging from various Pokémon to something she may see in a town or forest. While drawing, she tends to block out all others around her, as if escaping into her own little world.

History
Rei was born and raised in Blackthorn City. She lived with her grandparents in the town, her grandmother being a retired nurse from the city's Pokémon Center, while her grandfather serves as one of the attendants to the master of the Dragon's Den. During her younger years, Rei respected her grandfather's time as the master's attendant. However as she grew older, the girl began to find herself wondering why he always settled just for that. She had been well aware that in his younger years, the old man used to be quite the Pokémon trainer. Yet still, he seemed to be quite satisfied remaining in a power of weakness.
Rei always showed an interest in being a trainer herself. When she came of the proper age, Rei was sent to Goldenrod City's trainer academy. There, she began to study the finer points of being trainer properly. She was a very diligent student, always putting work ahead of fun. She excelled in most of the classes she took, taking it as a chance to become a stronger trainer. During breaks at the academy, such as during the holidays, she would return home to see her grandfather still serving in his constant role as the master's attendant. And the more time passed, the more angry she began to grow about it. Rei realized that if he was not willing to take a position that he could easily obtain, then she would be more than happy to take care of it herself.
Finally, an opportunity presented itself. Rei eventually graduated the academy and received a starter Pokémon of her own. While she had been hoping for a more powerful Pokémon, Rei knew that she was probably lucky that she was able to receive her first Pokémon from the couple in the first place. With any luck, the Daycare Couple did not gift her a horribly weak Pokémon...

Rival
Rei views her rival to be none other than Blackthorn City's own gym leader, Clair. Rei is fully aware that by carrying the title of gym leader, Clair has been more or less guaranteed to be the strongest trainer within the city. She is also fully aware that Clair is capable of being able to hold her own against most of the Elite Four, the only known losses against them coming from her cousin, Lance. So naturally, Rei took to making her rival the gym leader. Clair herself is not aware of this, but in Rei's mind it really does not matter in the first place. She will only consider her journey a success once she not only defeats her in battle, but manages to conquer the Elite Four... Lance included.
