The Bad Guys {SUDS}

[Midnight Sun]

I'm not done, and may tweak Izzy's personality a little, but this is what I have so far:

Name: Eloise “Izzy” Beauregard

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: Despite living on a tropical island, Eloise's skin has tanned very little, and she is rather pale. This may be because she spends too much time indoors on her laptop, which isn't too surprising considering her computer science major. The amount of computer screen time may also have contributed to her needing glasses, and Izzy picked a pair with a thin, black rim. Despite needing spectacles though, her seagreen eyes can manage without them, though the distant world becomes a bit blurry. Her bangs, on the other hand, never impair her vision and hover a few centimeters from her eyes. That being said, they are noticeably longer on the side, and frame the top half of her cheeks. Her head of russet brown hair reaches her shoulder blades, and could be described as being a bit wavy.

When it comes to clothes, Izzy enjoys wearing a range of colours, though she almost always pairs light tops with darker bottoms. When it's warm, and it almost always is, she likes to sport a tank top with Bermuda shorts or capri pants. On the rare cold day, Eloise will dig out a sweater and pair of jeans, though they're a tighter fit then the rest of her clothes. It's evident they're older and out of fashion, and the brunette has gained weight since their purchase. She couldn't be considered fat, but most doctors would suggest she lose a few pounds, and she is a little out of shape. A small backpack with a pixel pattern contains most her gear, though she does have a leather satchel for carrying her laptop and computing equipment.

Spoiler:

Personality: Though some would call Izzy excitable, it’s a bit too strong a word to accurately describe her. Lively and enthusiastic fit the bill though; she’s the type that cheers loudly at sporting events, that dances along to her favourite song, that gets hyped for the next big video game. She’s also notably passionate when it comes to her interests and those close to her. This is blatant when Izzy does things like gaming; she’s the type to curse at the TV when she loses or does poorly. There is a small carry over when she battles, though the young woman has mellowed out a bit in this area. That isn’t to say she doesn’t get loud and emotive when the stakes are high enough, and this may lead to rash calls.

It probably isn’t much of a stretch to say that Eloise has her stubborn tendencies. That isn’t to say she’s completely inflexible, though it takes a sound argument or evidence to change her mind once it’s set. This can make her a bit difficult to work with sometimes, but Izzy’s friendly and caring personality help make up for it. She also tries to lend a hand when possible, and typically does what she feels is right. That being said, Eloise isn’t above occasionally using her impressive computing skills to hack…

When upset, Eloise can get fiery, but she’s generally in good control of her temper. Push her to her limits though, and she will snap, unleashing a very dangerous side of her personality.

History: Her last name is without a doubt Kalosian, which is where Eloise was born and spent much of her early life. She grew up in a northern suburb of Santalune City with her parents and older brother, Patrice. Money was never an issue in the household; Mr. Beauregard was a well-respected hotel manager and Mrs. Beauregard was a skilled interior designer. Their wealth only accumulated throughout the years as Eloise's father was promoted and her mother took more prestigious projects. However, she and her brother were never spoiled and the value of good education was instilled in them. Despite this, Eloise had a hard time sitting still in class and would often go off on "adventures", much to the panic of her caregivers. No amount of punishment could get her to stop, and it's possible that the only thing that kept her from becoming a professional rock climber or parkour artist was a nasty fall. When Eloise was seven, she slipped away from her babysitter and attempted to climb the biggest tree in the neighbourhood. She had overestimated her skills, however, and took a painful fall after missing a key branch. This resulted in a leg and arm break, which was a terribly unpleasant experience for the young girl. Though she never lost her spirited nature, the desire to "adventure" had been seriously diminished and never quite returned.

Eloise also had the chance to visit a few of her native region's cities and towns, thanks to her parents' jobs. The most notable of these trips occurred when she was nine and the family traveled to Ambrette Town on a business trip. It was here that she met Violette while playing in the park, and while Patrice thought the cat was creepy, his sister found her adorable. The duo formed a friendship during the two weeks the Beauregards were in the area, and Eloise pleaded with her parents to take her home. After reassuring them she had no plans on quitting school to journey with Espurr, they agreed to let their daughter keep the purple feline.

Patrice, however, had made no sure promise and hadn't had his wanderlust quashed by a fall. He was quiet and studious, but at 14, he wanted a taste of the freedom his peers were getting. This lead to a few majors fights in the family, and lead to his running away just a few months later. Eloise's heart broke a little, she and her brother had always gotten along pretty well and was devastated he was gone. A consequence of this was a spike in her temper; she became very angry and bitter. It also caused some issues in her household, a lot of fighting, tension and uncertainty. The police did find Patrice, but they came to an agreement, and the teen continued his journey. Eloise was ten at the time, and she never allows herself to revisit this part of her life. It's still painful, and the siblings still don't talk.

Two years later, her father was awarded a major promotion; his company was expanding and opening a new location in Hau'oli City, Alola. He was selected to be among the staff sent over to the chain's new Alola headquarters. As a result, the family left beautiful Kalos and relocated to troplical Alola. Although Eloise was hesitant at first, the move helped her a lot in the long run. The counselor she saw in Hau'oli was a much better fit, and over time, helped the brunette control her temper and adapt to her new life. She was also a novelty to her classmates, though she quickly butted heads with a girl named Keahi. The nickname Izzy originally started as one of Kea's jabs during an argument, but Eloise liked it and ended up adopting it.

The two girls became friends the next year, and have been close ever since. Proof of this is the trade they made; Soleil the Litleo for Nani the Rockruff, which was conduced after seeing the Pokemon better fit the other "trainer". Despite having budding teams, both girls remained in school until completion. Graduating finally earned Izzy her parents' approval to journey, and although she did for a small spell, she never ended up going too far. Instead, the interest she had acquired in computer sciences during her last years at school called to her and she applied at the University of Heahea, as she was eligable for more scholarships there. Her lack of ability to stay cool in battle may have contributed to her choice, as may have Patrice's actions...

A year into her program, Kea joined her as a roomate, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. However, one fateful night, while frequenting an obscure chatroom, Izzy was introduced to the conspiracy theories surrounding the Natural Order. She hadn't been following the group's actions closely, but kept a closer eye on them afterward. This lead to her realising that the things echoed in the chatroom were more then tin-foil theories, which caught her full attention. Her growing concerns were confirmed when she managed to hack a small Natural Order server, and while she was able to show Kea, she was expelled before getting evidence.

Izzy is stubborn, so having her prized laptop stolen and finding a threatening letter did nothing but encourage her to join Team Hourglass. There was too much at stake to idle by...

Name: Keahi “Kea”

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Despite specializing in fire Pokemon, Kea is a rather calm individual. She takes a cool and logical approach when dealing with problems or conflict, though snarking is not above her. In fact, if she does ever argue or fight, it will usually involve her making quips and subtle jabs. Even in battle, Keahi stays focused and composed; getting her to unravel is quite the difficult task. However, should this happen, she goes from cool to volcanic in the blink of an eye.

History: Kea spent much of her life in Hau'oli City with her parents and younger brother, though they did often visit relatives in Paniola Town. Unlike many of her peers, she opted to delay her attempt at the island trials, and continued her schooling instead. In middle school, Kea encountered her first true rival, a "spirited" girl from Kalos. Their clashing personalities caused them to clash almost right away, although being forced to work on a project together the next year changed that. The young teens realized they worked pretty well together, and had more in common than they thought. This began their friendship, which extends to this day. When she turned 17, Kea attempted and completed her island trial, but did not continue onto the league. Instead, she applied and was accepted into the Heahea University, where Kea is currently studying Alolan ecology (with a desire to specialize in volcanic ecosystems).

Kea, being a logical person, had noticed that the Natural Order's actions didn't match their words. Her suspicions were confirmed after she saw some of the files Eloise discovered after hacking a minor Natural Order server. However, before the girls could act, Izzy was booted from the server and the next day, her laptop was stolen. There was threatening note left in their dorm soon after, though it was impossible to determine whether or not the Natural Order was behind it. Although Keahi never officially joined Team Hourglass, she is certainly sympathetic to them and their actions.
