Name: Nikki Valencia
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Trainer Type: Nikki is a relatively simple trainer looking for adventure while she is able to pursue it. She has an intense love for the creatures and tends to call herself a Poke-Maniac once in a while.
Hometown: Fortree City, Hoenn
Appearance: Nikki is a small girl standing at 5' 3" with a thin build and a light weight of 110lbs. Her skin is a healthy pale, however, and she is a surprisingly strong young lady with a knack for gaining a good amount of ground in a short amount of time. She has long strawberry blonde hair that reaches the middle of her back. She tends to keep it in specific styles that cover at least the majority of her ears. Her left eye is a silver-blue, and her right eye is brown. Her habit of climbing trees might play a part in her being so spry.
Nikki prefers jeans and shorts to skirts and dresses, and very often will run around with her shoes inside her backpack instead of on her feet. Depending on the weather, she prefers either tank tops or shirts with sleeves that are long enough to cover the majority of her hands. The colors she wears usually vary between red, black, shades of green, grey...anything except for orange, large amounts of yellow, and pink. She even has specific patterns that she refuses to wear--polka dots, horizontal stripes, and elaborate designs like "a billion flowers splotched onto black fabric." Formal clothing is extremely rare for her, usually seen when she is performing in a contest or is going to some mandatory fancy event.
The majority of her clothes have dirt stains and tears here and there, but she doesn't mind it. As long as it gets the job done, she will wear it.
Personality: Nikki usually comes off as a quiet girl in dirty clothes at first glance, but when she comes out of her shell, it's obvious that the young trainer has quite the appetite for adventure and can be very, very loud. She doesn't mean to be noisy most of the time, and she frequently apologizes if she gets to rowdy, but once she is outdoors and by herself, she lets loose. Nikki is a girl with a far-stretching imagination and she often runs around pretending that she's battling Team Rocket or some other crime organization. Perhaps she seems a little immature for her age, but she will always declare that her dreams will never fade away because they are all she really has. Nikki enjoys meeting new people and making friends, human and Pokemon alike, especially when they can match her energetic attitude and habit of running off on aimless adventures. Though in Nikki's opinion, it's hard to find human beings that have those sorts of habits; most of them that she has run into have an 'indestructible' desire to be Pokemon Champion and only want to go their own way.
However, once one gets into the core of who she is, Nikki is nowhere near as cheerful as she shows herself to be. The real Nikki that is always kept away from people is quiet, reserved, and even a bit somber. The reason for this is her disability that she will virtually never speak of unless she knows who she is speaking to very, very well. She doesn't trust easily and she has a bad habit of holding grudges when someone wrongs her. The easiest way to describe her in one word is "bitter." Overall, she could be called complicated.
Despite all of that, the trainer is a loyal girl and will always do what she can to help others. She isn't selfish in the least, and won't hesitate to defend someone in trouble. Of course, with her nature, the girl prefers the company of Pokemon to people; the mystical creatures are her first love in the world aside her family.
Nikki gets extremely nervous around the Whismur evolution line, and will downright have panic attacks if a wild Exploud gets anywhere near her. She is terrified beyond words of the Pokemon species thanks to her experience as a kid. She is still nervous around Whismur, Loudred, and Exploud that are under the care of a trainer, but as long as they don't get too close, she will be all right.
History: Nikki Valencia spent the first six years of her life in the city of Fortree in the Hoenn region. Her father was a well-known breeder in the area, so she grew up surrounded by the creatures she came to love so much. It was from him that she learned several skills that involved caring and handling the Pokemon, especially babies, and it was from her mother that she learned her skills in grooming and styling. She loved her home and thoroughly enjoyed climbing the countless surrounding trees to find Pokemon and see the view. However, when she was five, there was an incident with a mother Exploud that cost her dearly. Nikki accidentally startled the Pokemon that was one of the many her father tended to, and the new mother reacted by using Hyper Voice. The young child was no match for the creature's power and was sent sprawling on the ground with her hands covering her bleeding ears as she tried to block out the sound. When the doctor arrived after her father had calmed the Exploud and brought his crying daughter into the house, Nikki was horrified to discover that the attack had left her nearly deaf. She was expected to recover over time, but instead, her condition only got worse. As time went by, her hearing, at a sluggish but still noticeable pace, chipped away to the point that she required a hearing aide to function correctly.
A year passed after the accident, and her parents decided to move to give her a new environment, and hopefully, a better outlook instead of being stuck in the past. The move resulted in Nikki coming to the city of Blackthorn in the Johto region. She wasn't particularly comfortable with the new place, but when she caught sight of both new and familiar Pokemon, she brightened a bit more. However, she was extremely self-conscious of the small hearing aide devices that were plugged into her ears, so she made sure to hide them from view with her hair. The young girl spent all of her years to date dreading the day that her hearing completely fails her and she loses her ability to hear the sweet cries of Pokemon and the voices of her family. When Nikki turned ten, she decided that she was going to start her own journey and go on as many adventures as she possibly could before it was too late. She was going to savor each and every last event that happened to her, positive and negative.
In present times, Nikki has traveled all around the Johto region and hopes to build a strong team of her own, rather than just tagging with a few of her father's Pokemon.
Goals: Nikki hopes to someday be a successful Pokemon Stylist. Her biggest goal, however, is to do the best she can while she is able to do so.
Other Info: Nikki loves Pokemon of all types, but her favored ones are Ghost, Psychic, and Fire. Once she has Pokemon of her own, they will rarely be in their Pokeballs, as she prefers her companions be at her side.

How did you find us?: I found this group by looking through the gallery of a Oniwanbashu on Deviantart. She mentioned there that she had been successful on here and I decided to check it out, since I've been looking for a good, active Pokemon RP group for a while now. I have no idea if she is still active here or not, nor do I know her name on here. Haha. So I suppose you could say it was an indirect referral.
