Name: Arturia Thrine
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Trainer Type: Trainee Trainer/Field Agent, Arturia is learning the ropes as she goes and has very basic knowledge about different aspects of training. She also has to catch Pokemon as part of her job.
Hometown: Eterna City, Sinnoh
Appearance: Standing at a small 5' 1'' and weighing in at little more then 93 lb, Arturia is petite and not exactly the best when it comes to being physically imposing to anyone but those younger then her. She does have nice blonde hair, which is generally tied up in a bun with a blue ribbon, while a stray strand seems to stick out any any given time. If let down her hair will reach past her shoulders just barely. Generally her siblings all share the same physical traits and makes it hard to tell them apart at a glance.
Arturia has shed the more refined clothing her parents commonly forced on her while under their care for more comfortable and casual clothing. As a Sinnoh native however she's more accustomed to the cold, thus is rarely seen in much heavy clothing even during autumn or winter. For the moment she is liking jeans, simple white or blue t-shirts, light sweaters, jackets and sneakers. The most she'd really get dressed up would be in slacks, a button up shirt and dress shoes as she is trying to avoid more feminine clothing due to her parent's looming plans for her. If curious she will wear skirts however. She used to wear simple white dresses ever since they've moved to Johto, but with her escape she only has one in her possession. But overall Arturia is leaning towards wearing male clothing to hide what little female figure she has.
Personality: Arturia has a proud streak to her, being raised and secluded from most human interaction for most of her life having that effect on one's self. But the young woman is incredibly self conscious about her lack of life experience and will commonly second guess herself if she's doing something she's not used too.
Generally however she is rather willing to at least try new things and is genuinely curious about anything most anything life has too offer her. Her family's teachings have also made her wary of underhanded deals and those who play unfair to keep face. She only views that as acceptable if absolutely necessary and even then she wont like it.
To go along with her views she tries to avoid senseless violence, but if pressed may get creative to back up certain people she knows.
Once Arturia is comfortable, she grows confident and is willing to sacrifice much for others. She is however constantly worried about comparisons to herself and her siblings due to their head start and experience with Pokemon or life in general. But she believes with persistence and a bit of hard work will let her catch up. As well as accepting advice from those with more experience then her, like siblings or other trainers she might meet.
History: One of eight siblings, Arturia grew up in a family who clung to traditions and wished to balance it the modernization going on. This was not to be the case however as the family for generations had watched things slip away bit by bit.
This wasn't really Arturia's concern however, as the family had high hopes for their children. Hoping to keep them away from the distractions of Pokemon training, her parents did their best to limit what information they got about Pokemon so they'd hopefully see them nothing more then pets.
This obviously failed miserably around the time Arturia turned ten as most of her siblings had some sort of interest in Pokemon beyond just having them as pets. As a young girl however Arturia wasn't sure what the draw was and was one of the few sibling who wasn't 'corrupted' so to speak.
By her eleventh birthday Arturia, who had been kept away from interacting with others outside of her family found out her family had consolidated enough funds to move most of their business out of Sinnoh and to Johto where they had some business connections. With no real connection with Sinnoh Arturia didn't mind the move but found the new climate a bit warmer then she would've liked.
The large family settled down in Ecruteak City, mainly due to their business connections there, but her father in particular was fond of the historical city. With the move and their own home not bought/built yet the Thrines were Arturia made her first friend outside of her family. The person in question was introduced as Umi Kagezuchi and the Kimono clad girl quickly became quick friends thanks to Umi being able to share and help out Arturia whenever she needed it.
Eventually the Thrines finally moved out of the Kagezuchi compound, although the Green Foundation had seen fit to keep the two family's nearby since the three were all business partner's at this point. This boded well for Arturia who was able to keep in contact with her friend and eventually open up more. The Green Foundation itself run by Mrs. Midi which is a commercial based organization made sure the two families would get along fine on their company grounds.
Things would not stay this well as an issue popped up rather recently, the subject of arraigned marriage. The prospect unnerved most of her siblings, but Arturia was the most outspoken one. This and a growing interest in Pokemon which her parents had been trying to keep suppressed in her brought conflicts over her future to a boiling point and even prompted Arturia to run away.
Her first step oddly enough was the Kagezuchi compound to seek advice from Umi. After some soul searching, Umi offered to get Arturia a basic job as a Green Foundation agent, which would also let her go on her own Pokemon adventure which she'd been getting more and more interested in.
With her friend's help and her sibling's blessing, Arturia took a quick fight to New Bark to get her job and adventure underway.
