Character Name: Lex Jordan
Gender: Female
Age: 13 years young
Birth Date: Twelve Years
Apperance: Lex is fairly tall, standing at 5 feet 4 inches, and slim, and her bones don't stick out with the exception of her fingers, which are long, pale, and nimble, but which resemble toothpicks, a feature that she hates. Her hair is straight, and black, with platinum blonde streaks in it, so that half her hair is platinum blonde, the other half is black, but its spread out, you know, not like the blonde is half her head and the black is the other half. Her bangs are long enough to tuck behind her ears, and swept across her forehead in one direction, and are unevenly cut, as it her hair. The hair near the front is cut jagged and zigzag, and reaches to a little past her earlobes, then it gets longer in the back, at its longest point, it reaches about two inches past her shoulder, all of it is cut in a jaggedy, zigzag fashion though.
Her eyes are fairly large, not buggy or enormous or protruding or anything, just a little bit larger than average, and seem to be made of...depends on her mood, either fire or ice. They are red, with a ring of black on the outside (hey, in the Pokemon World, there's no such thing as a weird eye color or hair color, right? I mean, people have pink hair, violet eyes, and such) and seem to creep some people out, she doesn't know why. Her skin is pale and clear, and her face usually wears a neutral look, not really smiling, but not really frowning. She has long scar down her right leg from a childhood accident, which people tend to notice and stare at, which annoys her greatly.
Lex wears shoes that are somewhere between Converse hi-top sneakers and hiking boots, that are black with white laces. She wears socks that go up to three inches past her knee, which she manages to keep free of wrinkles and bagginess, and shorts, which come down to six inches past her knee. Her top consists of a short white short sleeved shirt with a scoop neckline over a black fitted long sleeved shirt with a boat neckline. She always wears a black, French style beret and a black belt with a silver buckle with a scroll design. Around her neck she wears a silvery white feather, most people take it as a feather from a Pidgiot or something, though Lex strongly believes that it is a feather from the legendary pokemon Lugia, who is rumored to reside in the Whirl Islands.
Personality: Lex is normally polite, if not friendly, she's at least polite enough to hold a door open for you. She offers smiles, and shows kindness, but usually not friendliness. She is somewhat cold, but not in a mean way, and she occasionally sits on her own just thinking about stuff, but doing some deep thinking, whatever she happens to be thinking about depends on the time of day and what side of the bed she woke up on that day. Lex never seems to run out of energy, she has extremely high endurance and an equal level of energy, which means unless she's doing some deep thinking, she can't sit still for longer than, maybe a couple of minutes. Sitting still for a half hour would pretty much drive her mad, not literally, and she has a habit of tapping her foot when asked to sit still for extended periods of time, usually, though, that doesn't cause any trouble because she does it noiselessly. Just because she can't sit still doesn't mean she has a need to talk, quite the contrary, she can go for days without talking, its just that these moments where talking is absolutely necessary come into her life, and for that reason she doesn't even try to see how long she can go without talking. Well, she does talk quite a bit with her pokemon, but that's her pokemon, with people, its quite different, she'll sit next to them on a twelve hour bus ride and not speak a word unless spoken to, or unless she feels that she should be at least act a bit friendly and try to talk to them, and then if they act like they don't want to talk, then she'll take the hint and fall into silence the entire ride, she's perfectly okay with that. It doesn't mean she doesn't like people, it just means she doesn't like to talk to them, at least, not all that much.
More often, people misinterpret the way she acts and come off thinking that Lex hates society or something, and then they just avoid her, which, besides being a completely wrong misinterpretation, also sort of makes Lex angry, and so then she really does become a colder, more reserved person, though its only temporary, and she returns to normal after a while, though it does take her a bit to get over it, its not like she's permanently angry, and besides that, she's only angry at the person who misinterpreted her, not the world or anything like that. Her anger doesn't even last that much more than a week at the most, and it goes without saying that Lex can't hold a grudge against anyone for very long, though when it comes to giving them the silent treatment, Lex is pretty much considered a certified expert, if that's what you want to call it, she can go on ignoring you for weeks on end, and not crack, unless you are a person she feels especially close to, then, the silent treatment doesn't really work for her and isn't really an option in that case.
History: Lex was born in Sunyshore City, and has led the extremely frustrating life of being the middle child of family, and everyone who is a middle child knows pretty much how frustrating that can be. On one side of her was her perfect, beautiful, talented older sister, on her other side was her runty, babied younger brother, meanwhile, she was the one her younger brother pestered for fun, and who her older sister was always looking down her nose at. She was the average one of her family, her her mother and father's eyes, her brother and her sister were perfect. She on the other hand only had talent in pokemon training and gymnastics, academics were one of her strong points, and art...there's room for improvement. From the time she was three she was enrolled in gymnastics, needless to say she is pretty skilled in the sport, and from the time she was five showed an interest in pokemon training, as did her brother, which was one of the only things they had in common. Her sister, on the other hand, had talent in pokemon coordination, that was how Lex learned to incorporate contest like combinations into her moves, by watching her sister practice and train with her Starly.
After her sister began her journey to become a top pokemon coordinator, Lex and her brother were left, and in order to develop stronger battling skills for the time when they would be eligible to own a pokemon, trained by battling against each other, actually, shouting out combinations with imaginary pokemon. But nevertheless, they did learn each other's battling style, while Lex preferred a style that incorporated contest like moves into her attacks, her brother preferred direct attacks that had the potential to do a lot of damage. Though Lex and her brother never became close, and still aren't, they did stop fighting so much, though before they argued so much that it didn't really make too much of a difference. Lex left home when she was thirteen rather than the standard age of ten to eleven because of an accident that occured when she was attacked by a wild pokemon that she couldn't identify, mostly because she and her brother were training in the woods just outside Sunyshore, when some bug pokemon just seemed to have become...disturbed by something. Lex's mind was too clouded with confusion to really register what had happened, all the remembers was a shooting pain in her right leg, a yell that definitely had to have come from a man, the sinister laugh of a woman, and her brother shouting that he was going to go get their mother. Then she was taken to the hospital after her leg, which a pokemon, most likely a bug pokemon, had injured, had been wrapped in gauze. It all happened so quickly that Lex never got to fully grasp the minute details, but it turned out that her leg needed stitches to close the wound, and since then, there has been a long, cruel looking scar there. It draws a lot of unwanted attention from people, which annoys Lex greatly, especially when they ask what happened to her leg, because she has gotten tired of explaining so many times over. It took a while to fully heal, and after that, she took another year of gymnastics, because her mother wanted her to, for unknown reasons, before she began her pokemon journey, which she has been looking forward to starting for eight years.
Pokemon Starter: Gible, then Shinx as a second choice (if my profile is good enough) Otherwise a totodile would be awesome
