Story Version: Pearl
Name: Palila Rae
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Palila has dark hair with bright streaks of colour- the streaks seem to change seasonally and her mother thinks its just a phase. She has a dark tan and muscly body, often doing chores outside, swimming, climbing trees, as well as trying to learn to skateboard to impress the other kids. She wears athletic clothing, and is usually styled somewhere between a 90's skater style and bright raver punk.
Height/Weight: 1.7m (fairly tall) 75kg (muscular heavy)
Personality: Palila, while trying to fit in with punks and cool kids and sometimes faking the harshness and meanness, is mostly just a flexible individual. She has a very practical and problem-solving kind of mind, which can make her sometimes seem dismissive of other peoples emotions and problems. When it comes to family though, she will beat up anyone- she often takes responsibility for her brothers, looks out for them, and won't let anyone say a bad word about her mum.
Personal Traits that describe your character: Flexible, Practical, Streetwise, Outdoorsy, Protective
Backstory:
1. Family: Her mother, and two younger brothers whom she lives with. Her grandfather lives on a different island, but visits.
2. Pokemon experience: Brawling with Pokemon for berries, trying to avoid poisonous pokemon while in the sea, learning to mantine surf and helping clear out pest nests of ekans or rattata near her house. Her mother owned a mantine herself, and a cloud of fletchling also hung around on the front lawn.
3. Past experience that has defined your character: Palila had never formally owned a pokemon, and saw them as mostly wild creatures, to be dealt with or left alone in everyday life. While out surfing with her brothers one day, she encountered a tentacruel who stung all three of them. She had to tore the tendrils from her weeping siblings and grit her teeth as it stung her hands. They staggered home in pain. Afterwards, as her mother treated their stings, she chided Palila for letting her brothers get hurt. Palila realized that in order to look after those she loved, she might need a creature more powerful than herself. She decided she needed to become a pokemon trainer.
After the wormhole incident, she travelled with a bunch of other trainers in Pokemon Platinum, being attacked by various powerful beings and watching children die. This has effected her immensely, and she left the Platinum team for a more secure and tight knit community of Team Galactic.
