Character's name: Weslyn Aria Darcy
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Physical Information- Weslyn is on the tall side, standing at 5 feet 5 inches, and she has a slender build, weighing in at just over 100 pounds. Some might even say she's skinny, but its not because she can help it, she was just born that way. Her eyes are green/gray and jer hair is long, reaching down to her mid back, and the darkest possible shade of brown without being black, with dark copper highlights in the front. Her hair is also impossibly straight, with side bangs, and is pretty fine, though it can get annoying from blowing into her face all the time, and for that reason she sometimes wears it tied back in a ponytail (especially on windy days).
Regular Clothing- Her normal outfit consists of a pair of dark gray jeans, faded in some places, a slightly long, plain, white tank-top with a spray of black stars at the bottom right side of it, and black Converses (the One Star variety), for comfort (which she wears with arch supports, because she's got a pretty high arch, its hard for her to find shoes that provide sufficient support.)
Bachkround Info.: Weslyn's life wasn't exactly a fairy tale. Then again, it wasn't a horror story or a tragedy either. Nor was it "normal." She came from a family of talented people, but talented in an unusual way. She was born in Canalave City, and her mother was a trainer who went on rescue missions to help both people and pokemon, for example, she would combine forces with her pokemon in order to rescue anvalanche survivors or something like that, and though she was very skilled and good at her job, even Weslyn, who loved her mother, had to admit it was a bit far from the norm.
Weslyn's father, on the other hand, was a bit more normal, being a judge at the local Pokemon beauty contest held by her town every year, and a professional Pokemon Breeder otherwise. He was, like Weslyn's mother, good at his profession, though Weslyn was always a bit embarrassed and got a bit defensive when she told someone that her dad was a Pokemon Breeder and they thought it was a bit unusual or funny. She always responded by listing another ten or so well known and famous breeders that were male. Though her father wasn't famous, he still could be considered well known, in her area and a little beyond.
As for herself, from the time she was little, she had always enjoyed the company of Pokemon, and being around them in general. She sometimes would rather play with Pokemon, other times, she wanted nothing more than to be with her friends. She was the type that hung out with more boys than girls, because she found girls too, well, girly, with the way they adored the color pink. Besides that, dresses, frilly things, and tea parties weren't her thing. So she spent much of her time learning to skateboard, to do karate, to play basketball, that was her thing. But then again, she did eventually become friends with a few girls who were more like her, and much of their time was spent at the park, playing basketball or catching frogs or something. Weslyn didn't know what it was like to battle with Pokemon until that day when she found a Riolu lying the in park. A few kids, three boys and one girl, were teasing it, poking it with a stick, and kicking stones at it. She wished she could run them over with her skateboard, but that likely wouldn't work, and she didn't have her skateboard with her anyway, so she just ran up and shouted at them. Funnily enough, they didn't even try to beat her up or anything, they just snickered and walked away. Weslyn then took the Riolu home to have her father take a look at it, and though it was shy around her at first, eventually, she and Riolu became inseperable, their bond was so tight, in fact, that they often could interpret each other's feelings.
Personality: Weslyn isn't much of the "girly" type. The color pink disgusts her, as do dresses and frills, anything along those lines. That was why she wasn't too fond of hanging around girls that much during her second grade, third grade, and fourth grade years, when most girls were obsessed with the things that disgusted her most. Weslyn is rather independent, she doesn't like help unless she really needs it, and when she does she's at least smart enough to ask for help, though sometimes not quite soon enough. The reason for that is she doesn't want to be looked upon as weak or needy or something, which is what she thinks will happen if she asks for help whenever she has the slightest inclination that she needs outside help to do something.
Though Weslyn often doesn't care much what others think of her, she can get pretty angry if you do manage to throw a well aimed insult her way, though she usually cools down pretty quickly. Forgive and forget is something she goes by most of the time, though at certain times, she'll just hate someone for something they said or did, and it never goes away. If you do manage to make an enemy out of her, it's likely she'll be against you for life, and that can get pretty nasty, or at least annoying, as Weslyn is a first, or maybe closer to second rate prankster. She only plays pranks on those she doesn't like, 'cause she thinks its mean to prank a friend or an innocent bystander, but most of the time they're pretty embarrassing, if you fall for it.
Another thing that can make or break Weslyn is her knack for being sharp tongued, and even cold at times. It doesn't matter who she's talking to, if you say something that she interprets, whether the interpretation is correct or not, as an insult, she'll likely not do anything other than respond with a comment on about the same level, maybe lower, maybe just slightly higher. On all other occasions, politeness is her thing, she isn't generally a mean person, unless, like I said, she really does dislike you. Oh, and she's not exactly good at public speaking, unless your definition of good involves a lot of "um's" and "er's."
Other Information: Weslyn's hobbies are: Skateboarding, karate, and basketball, she's also a good student without even trying, which is lucky for her, seeing as school isn't exactly the best part of her day (nor is it the worst). She has a good voice, but wouldn't be caught dead singing to anyone other than herself, which she doesn't do very often in the first place. She is coordinated, but can only play the saxophone and can't draw to save her life.
Starter Pokemon: Riolu (its not on the rare list, so I suppose its okay?) Riolu is a girl, which is unusual, and slightly smaller than the average Riolu, which serves more as a disadvantage than an advantage in battle, though they try to make up for that.
Region of Origin: Sinnoh
