Name: Ciel Vespera
Nickname: N/A
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Dorm: Suicune
Personality: Ciel seems very quiet, the quiet that indicates a lack of confidence. It's mostly around humans, who he's had very little interaction with, due to being in a small private school and the early years of his life were spent away from him. He isn't particularly wild, but people scare him and he works hard to not be noticed by others. He believes it's safer. Very few people can talk to him without him instantly looking away and shaking like a mess. Those people are mostly around his own age (or his little brother), including overly protective Miranda Ambera. He seems like a bit of a crybaby, easily overwhelmed. However, Pokemon fix that problem, mostly. If he talks to the Pokemon, he shows few of the issues he shows around humans. He's still shy, but people he's not used to can manage a conversation if he speaks with the Pokemon first. He's not an expert with Pokemon but he can definitely talk with them better than humans. HE will sometimes say things that are unusual, very matter-of-fact, and they usually end up true. HE knows how odd he sounds.
Ciel is actually rather pragmatic, understanding he was a pretty good target. He has taken care of people who make fun of him by being that way, actually kicking another kid's teeth in while he was being teased. He normally doesn't stand up for himself but instead gets in the way of others being trampled on. It's pure impulse in all honesty. He doesn't understand why he does it. Maybe this journey will teach him. Ciel is frequently hit with insomnia and will spend most of his time staring up at the night sky. He usually sleeps during the day not long afterward. He cares for Pokemon a lot and isn't afraid of them, even the most terrifying or evil. Ciel believes that they are good as well and will only harm him if he does something wrong.
Appearance: Ciel is an olive-skinned male at 87 pounds and at 4'11 inches, around the average for a male his age. He has long, shaggy, stringy black hair that falls messily over his head and eyes, hiding the orbs behind his bangs. He does brush it but it still falls like that anyway. His eyes are a deep solemn grey, almost constantly in the deer-in-headlights look when around people. He is nimble and lean, yet looks roughly around the age of a rookie trainer. It likely has to do with his behavior. On his left hand is a swirled sort of bookmark, seeming to have no significance. Honestly don't ask Ciel; he won't know.
He dresses in natural modesty, not that he understands that. He has a red and blue string anklet with black beads weaved in resting on his right ankle and a silver hoop in his left earlobe. Ciel wears a sleeveless grey shirt under a black hooded jacket. The jacket is usually left open and has white stitching in its pockets. On the right side is a Spell Tag stitched on to the hoodie. His pants are blue cargo pants and undecorated, his shoes and dirty. His shoelaces are in need of replacement, the white laces almost destroyed. The sneakers are sea-blue except for the laces and the soles. His hands are covered in black, fingerless gloves.
History: Ciel was born in Viridian City to a quiet mother and flighty father. The man loved his family for certain, but he preferred the life of wandering. Ciel's mother never forgave that and divorced not long after, a friend of the family becoming his stepdad. Ciel never knew it was any different. At least, not until he turned ten. But by then it didn't matter. Ciel's mother was a Lavender Town citizen until her marriage, so she was a devout believer in respecting the dead and of ghosts, having been able to sense things most didn't, a gift she had passed on to her son. Until he was five, his mother quietly supervised his visits to the Viridian Forest, either personally or with her Kadabra. Since he was little, he played with his best friend Miranda or by himself. Most children were forbidden to enter the Forest. So he was used to Pokemon and barely knew many humans.
When he turned six, he was signed up with Miranda at the Pokemon Public School in Viridian. It was his first meeting with more than a few people. He thought it would be uncomfortable but okay. Ciel couldn't have been more wrong. It was too exciting and loud, there were too many people, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the noise. It took the school the whole day to find him curled up under a tree trunk, trembling at the outskirts of the Indigo Plateau. How he had gotten there unscathed would have been a mystery if not for the Pokemon growling at anyone who came within a five foot radius.
His mother took action and moved back to her hometown and enrolled him in the private school. Of course, Miranda had to tag along, refusing to leave her best friend behind. This helped immensely and slowly, he began to overcome his social phobia, though it never did go away. The teasing didn't either, until he fought back, courtesy of Pokemon encouragement. Ciel usually avoided that however, keeping to himself. The fact that a majority of the kids there were quiet and focused, not the same in their excitement as in Viridian, gave Ciel more encouragement. In school, he excelled, to everyone's surprise. However, what caught the Academy's attention wasn't his school work but his small fame as a psychic. Miranda hated it but Ciel's mother encouraged him to go despite her own misgivings. HE got top marks in the exam on both parts, due to the individual sessions in his school. He has been on the Island since the first day, but has gone mostly unnoticed.
