Name: Sheena Krystal
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Hometown: Laverre City, Kalos
Appearance: Sheena stands at a height of about 5'6". She sports a somewhat slender body build and her skin complexion is fair, neither being too dark nor to pale. Her chocolate-brown hair easily reaches down to her lower back in terms of length, however Sheena often keeps most of it pulled into one rather tight braid. The rest of her hair reaches down to the base of her neck, with bangs neatly lining the sides of her face. Sheena's eyes are an intense, sapphire-blue in color and she has a small scar on her left shoulder that she received when she was just a child.
Personality: Sheena has a rather upbeat and outgoing personality. She's friendly to approach and very rarely seems to be without a smile on her face. She can be quite easily excited at times as well, always ready to try new things and meet new people. She does tend to have a habit of acting without thinking, and her rather impulsive attitude has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion. Still, Sheena means well and is always there to support people she considers friends with encouragement. While she would never outright admit it, Sheena is absolutely disgusted by Bug Pokémon, almost to the point that she's terrified to be in the same room as one. She also has an odd habit of giving people nicknames so they're easier for her to remember later on down the road...
Battle Style: Sheena is one to think on her feet when it comes to battling. She has tried several times before in her life to try and think up a strategy before going into battle. However based on her personality, planning ahead is definitely not one of her strong suits. Because of this, her battles can easily turn on a dime and go either extremely well for her or extremely poorly.
History: Sheena was born and raised in Laverre City of the Kalos region. She lived with her mother and grandmother in the town, both of whom operated a small clothing shop located in the heart of the tree-based town. They were known widely throughout the region for their fine silk-work and tailoring, many people coming far and wide just to see their unique fashions and styles.
From an early age, Sheena seemed to be destined to carry on the family legacy. Her mother would constantly have the girl accompany her to the small tailor shop, having her try to learn how to sew and different things about fabric and color. Sheena always did her best to try and keep focused on what her mother was teaching her, however the girl's mind constantly wandered and she easily lost focus on what she was being taught. While she appreciated and respected the work her mother and grandmother did, Sheena always had a lingering feeling that the life of a tailor and designer was simply not for her. She had always been far more interested in the life of a trainer. She owed this interest to the times she would sneak off to watch battles in the local gym or trainers who would be passing through Laverre while taking a lap around Kalos. It got to the point that she began to pester her mother about becoming a Pokémon trainer herself, but the older woman simply would not hear of it, stressing that such a life was not suited for Sheena. Sheena resented her for it.
Her life began to thankfully change (in her opinion) shortly after she turned 16 years old. While taking a late night walk near the town's edge, Sheena happened to stumble upon a lone, rather battered looking Fennekin. The fox Pokémon was small, obviously one of a younger age. She looked much too young to be on her own, so without delay the teenager quickly rushed the Fennekin to have her wounds treated properly at the local Pokémon Center. Thankfully, no permanent damage was sustained to the lost Pokémon. Sheena knew her mother would never allow her to raise the Fennekin... and the Pokémon was too young to properly take care of herself, so she began to raise the fox in secret. Sheena would sneak her scraps of food left over from dinner and breakfast, she would play with her during her breaks from tailoring lessons, and even occasionally battled with her against some low-leveled, wild Pokémon. It did not take long for a strong bond to start forming between the two.
The downside to all of this however, was the desire to be an official trainer began to burn wildly in Sheena's heart once more. She wanted to ask for her mother's blessing once more, but the teenager felt that the woman would flat out refuse again. Seeing as how there was no way around it, Sheena eventually took her Fennekin, who she named Fiona, and sneak off to the far away region of Sinnoh to live her dream...
