Description

((I'LL EDIT THIS LATER /SAWB))


Name: LiFua Zhang

Age: 22

Hometown: Lavaridge, but the family's mansion belongs in Saffron City ((She was trained in Lavaridge)).

Personality:
Being locked up in a mansion with virtually no human contact makes it kind of hard for one to be sociable. The only interactions she's ever really made was through her family and through her pokemons, so it's hard for LiFua to open up to other people when she's never done it before, not to mention she's almost completely deaf in both ears. She has a strong dislike for huge crowds and almost always attempts to either fly on Appoline's back or just arrive to her destination extremely early if possible. Human touch, even a small tap on the shoulder, extremely irks her to no end, and the jumbled thoughts and feelings LiFua feels all at once can be overwhelming to the empath/telepath. "A big ass migraine" as LiFua would describe it, so human contacts aren't really her favorite thing in the world to do. Because of this, she eventually learned to counter her discomfort with aggressive words, which almost always succeeds in scaring other people away. And since her tactic works wonderfully well, she stuck by it and it sorta became second nature to her. Sadly, this also meant she had no practice in other kinder ways, so she is viewed as an "ice queen", as one would say. However this is only the bare surface of LiFua, once you really get to know her she's more warm and surprisingly gentle, despite her infamous tomboyish streak.
And since she never really had a life, she never really had a friend (excluding her pokemons of course). One might define this as "lonely", but you can't miss what you never had. Sure she was curious, but it isn't so bad that she cried herself to sleep everynight.... Well, at least not currently. The Zhang daughter never really had a "parent's love", not when they were too busy with their own work to even pay attention to her during her childhood. Instead, they would dump her loads and loads of work onto her, and cram more time for her to study rather than to spent time with them. LiFua never experiened a proper childhood or a single birthday. It was all tutorings, both academic and athletic (mostly Kung Fu). Despite her obvious lack of social life, this doesn't mean she'll go and befriend everyone right off the bat. The empath is surprisingly picky with the people she wants to mingle with, although it's pretty hard for her to judge. Her family was always very harsh and strict with her, so those are the only type of people she knows fairly well; the others...? That's a whole new story.
Unlike most people, LiFua is very... naive to the world. Due to obvious reasons, of course. Some might describe her as "a person who lived under a rock" and this saying is almost quite literally true. She knows not a single celebrity, tv shows, proffessors, or even some types of pokemons! (Namely the Unnovah region) But this, in no way, means she's ignorant. She knows about the flaws of human beings and the dark side of the world; she wasn't educated with the best tutors in the world for nothing. Her mind is jammed packed with history, math, science, philosophy, analytical skills, critical thinking skills, and decision making skills. However, she lacks the experience to incorporate this in her life, much less pokemon battles thus she might start off slow in the competition.
Now, one might think that after years and years of isolation, one would learn how to keep a calm, patient mind and act with class, instead of rashly. This is not the case for LiFua Zhang. Since she was pampered from day 1 and almost always had things she needed upon calling, it aggravates her to no end when things don't go her way or don't get it in a short amount of time. She's rather short tempered and willing to go to extreme lengths to get what she wants; even if it means she has to hurt others in the process (people that aren't her friends or cares about of course). This eventually led to her overgrown pride and stubborness, which alot of people consider a flaw. It's her way or the highway, and LiFua doesn't plan to go along with other's ways any time soon. People might also view her as a "dictator" because LiFua likes to have control of the situation, rather than the other way around. She doesn't feel comfortable or secure when her fate is in the hands of others and much rather lead herself to doom than other people.
LiFua has strong respect for bird type pokemons, although she loves all her pokemons. If you had to describe LiFua in a few words, then it would be "a caged bird". Never having the feel of the breeze brush through skin or the smell fo the fresh air without a worry in the world. No constraint. No cage. No fear. Just bliss. In a way, her respect could also be combined with jealousy; always watching the birds with a longing look, knowing she could never actually fly across the big blue sky.

Likes: Her independence, pokemons, training, viewing both the day and night skies, birds

Dislike: Crowds, cages, her family, her duty, things not going her way, defiance

Skills: Analyzing a situation, quick planning, Kung Fu

Weakness: Any sort of room or place that would constrain her from leaving, her pride/stubborness, talking to other people.

History:
She never really had any.
Study. Training.
Those two words basically defined the last 24 years of her life. Of course there were other things as well, such as: to speak only when called upon, never defying your superiors, know your place and duty, etc. etc. All throughout her life, she was only trained to strengthen her physical and mental self so that she would be prepare to accept her role as a heiress later on. What she wanted to be and her opinions had no voice in the matter; her destiny was already chosen by her parents and there was nothing she could do. Of course, that's what they thought at least. Since she first got her Swablu "Appoline", through many bribes and convincing, at the age of 13 she swore to herself that she could live a life as a pokemon trainer. That her role in life isn't predetermined by someone other than herself. So in secret, she caught and trained any pokemons she could capture or "buy". This was all extremely difficult, considering her family almost always kept a close watch on her every move, but both her pokemons and herself managed to pull through. Now that she thought they were all ready, she confronted her family of her goals and firmly stuck through with her belief, ignoring her family's protest and negative inputs.
They, namely her parents, insisted that pokemon trainers were "unsuitable" for her future and how it would taint their name as the Zhang family for their daughter to become such a common figure. But of course, LiFua's opinion never mattered to them. She knew no matter what she say, they wouldn't believe her and toss aside her words most similarly like they would with a 10 year old's words. So she decided to show her family through actions; "Seeing is believing" afterall, right?

Even with her parents nagging and complaining as she packed, she turned her backs on them for the first time in her life and, despite how scared she was doing it, relished in the fact that she made her own decision. A path where her parents didn't neatly make for her to walk on, but her own rugged journey that would take training and getting over hard obstacles on her own. She set off towards Hyperion Conference, determind to show her family just how far she could go as a pokemon trainer and to finally awknowledge her independence.

Appoline (Altaria)
Gender: Female
Nature: Calm
Ability: Natural Cure
Item: None
Location Caught: Starting pokemon (bought from a family)
Attacks: Mirror Move//DragonDance//Flamethrower//Icebeam
Accent: French
History:
A household caught her as a very young Swablu, tearing her away from her mother and siblings. Although they treated her well, Appoline was almost lonely since there were no children or other pokemons she could really interact with. Even most of the adults were gone to work or too busy with their house chores to really pay attention to the young Swablu. She thought that she would forever be doomed to silence until the day she died... that is of course, until she met LiFua. The little girl, who seemed to be quite excited by the idea of having her own pokemon, did everything in her power to have Appoline as her own pokemon. Of course, the family refused at first.. and the second, and the third, AND the fourth time. During this time, LiFua frequently visited more and more, her desire to have her as a starting pokemon never dying out. Finally, after a year later, the family accepted LiFua's offer of a certain amount of money and begging to finally let go of the Swablu. And even though she had to live in an attic and/or outside for most of the time in the Zhang househould, she couldn't have asked for a better master. LiFua was always there for her and treated her as a best friend, always bringing in meals and snacks whenver she could, and letting her out for a nice stretch whereas LiFua was always cooped in her room. These two went through alot together and Appoline is determined to help LiFua with her goal.
Blanche [Gardevoir]
Gender: Female
Nature: Sassy
Ability: Synchronize
Item: Lax Incense
Location Caught: Petalburg City (in the grasses), Sinnoh
Attacks: Calm Mind//Psychic//Shadow Ball//Heal Pulse
Accent: Southern Belle
History:
Blanche was caught a few years after Appoline was first caught, and that so happened when LiFua and her family went on a little trip to the Sinnoh region. However, this wasn't just any ordinary capture; it was a rescue. Ever since she was a little Ralts, she's had one lame leg that makes walking difficult for her. With LiFua's help and training, she's able to stand and make some movements with ease, but has trouble with moving around alot. This didn't stop her from fighting, however, and her spirit is as high as ever. Unlike her mistress, Blanche enjoys the fashionable side of life and loves to go window shopping or a trip to the mall. You could say Blanche is one of the more annoying pokemons (in LiFua's opinion at least) but certainly not the weakest. Anybody could tell that after a battle with her.

DongJu or "DJ" (Shiny Charizard)
Gender: Male
Nature: Impish
Item: None
Location Caught: Gift from her rich uncle
Attacks: Flamethrower//Focus Blast//Swords Dance//Dig
Accents: Brooklyn
History:
Lived as a the "black sheep" of his kind-- quite literally. He always stood out compared to the other charizards and it's pre-evolutions and would often be casted off into their outer circle. It was hard fitting in, but even so managed to put up a cool front. Always giving other charizards dirty looks and generally scaring them/pissing them off so that he knew that at least they had a reason for their avoidance. Although he didn't liked being captured, it was almost a sigh of relief when LiFua's uncle caught him and gave him to her as a "present". Of course, it took a while to earn his trust, but LiFua managed to claw her way into his heart. Not that he'd ever admit it of course. He didn't really like the imprisonment of his pokeball/attic since she had to hide him; and he was the most troublesome one to control and hide (mosty because of his big stature and restless spirit) and they had some pretty close calls; but he viewed this as a way of training and greatly influenced his "ninja' skills so to speak.
He isn't afraid to hurt other pokemons for the name of glory or victor. Similar to LiFua, he's very VERY competitive. Snappish with a fiery attitude and a small dash of sarcasm, he can be your typical American New Yorker. He clashes most with Blanche, since they do seem to be quite the opposites.

Charlotte (Lapras)
Gender: Female
Item: Silk Scarf
Location Caught: Safari Zone, Fuschia City
Attacks: Ice Beam//Surf//TakeDown//Thunder
Accents: Russian
History:
Soft spoken, yet she's one of the bravest member of LiFua's team. Charlotte was seperated from her family at a very young due to a horrible storm and washed up on the shore of Fuschia City. The people found and safely led her to the pokemon center until she was properly healed. However, the other people determined that she was too young to let her go off on her own, since the ocean is not only very large, but has a very slim chance of meeting Charlotte's family. Deciding they didn't want to take the risk, they placed Charlotte in the Safari Zone for her own safety and hope that someone would eventually take her. The young Lapras was very confused, but grateful for her safety. However, there's only so much you could do swimming in small lake. Once LiFua, who snuck out in the middle of night, caught her, she couldn't say for sure how she felt. For one thing, it wasn't much better than the Safari Zone-- no wide place for her to swim, no place for her to just "spread her wings" as one would say. But she couldn't have been more proud when LiFua finally decided to go on her own path, and couldn't wait to show off her own power ((only to be disappointed that she wouldn't be participating in HC anytime soon))
