Name: Josephine "Posie" Marlowe
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Trainer Type: Trainer, but wants to try all the things
Hometown: Goldenrod
Appearance: Posie is a woman approaching middle age, standing about 5’2”. She has long, frizzy dark brown hair that she wears pinned up in a bun to hide just how frizzy it is. Her eyes are also dark brown and just slightly too round, giving her a resting expression that somehow always looks startled. She's a curvy woman and she carries weight on her upper arms, thighs, waist and bust. She gives off the aura of being very dependable, like someone's mom.
Posie's prefered clothing since leaving her job are as far from business attire as one can get. She wasn't really considering the sensibility of her clothing when she picked out her traveling outfit when she was asking for her journey, just finally purchasing something she'd always wanted to wear. So she has a white puffy blouse with sleeves that end in an well well elastic hem just below her elbows. Over that she wears a long forest green dress where the top of the dress comes up over her ribs but no higher, with two inch straps and goes down to just below her knees at the front and to the ankle in the back. She wears thick dark brown leggings and sensible hiking boots underneath. For cooler days she has a thick chunky-knit oversized sweater that is perfect for aesthetically clothing a mug of hot cocoa. She prefers to dress in foresty colours, with green, brown and orangey-red colours being common choices. Somewhat counter to her forest witch dress vibes is her large brown canvas bag packed with all the essentials for long hiking trips. Strapped to the top is a forest green bedroll and there is a water bottle in the same colour.
Personality: Josephine is a study in contrasts. She's responsible, reliable, risk-averse and blandly polite. She's also currently making an effort to not be that all the time anymore. She's consciously making an effort to try things that she's never tried before. To make whimsical choices and try new things. To commit to plans that might not work out. However that could make it very easy for her to get in over her head. She doesn't make friends easily, being unpracticed in sharing things about herself. She's very loyal, and willing to put in the effort to help her friends when they need her. Josephine is very much a city mouse and between trying new things and going new places she is frequently afraid and often working against her instincts. Her decision making can be very inconsistent, sometimes leaning towards the safe choice, and sometimes adventurous. But once she makes the decision she will stick to it!
History: Josephine was born the eldest daughter of Justine and Glenn Marlowe. She was followed in very quick succession by Elinore, Portia, Clara and Gideon to round out their very full family. Josephine, called Posie by her siblings, played all the usual games as a child. She dreamed of being the next Champion or a renowned Coordinator or occasionally a famed breeder, and she and her siblings would devote hours to their shared fantasies. But as she grew older she began to feel the pressure of taking care of her siblings and the looming pressure of taking care of her aging parents and began to put those dreams aside.
Josephine followed all of the steps required of her by her parents, getting a good education, studying as an accountant and then getting an office job in her home town of Goldenrod. She worked for many years and had a comfortable life with a nice apartment with plenty of people around. And then one morning she woke up and realized that what she had was co-workers and responsibilities and she couldn't remember the last time she'd done something because she wanted to or because she thought it would be fun.
She proceeded to email her boss to tell them that she was taking all of the vacation she had accrued over her many years of service. Josephine went down to the library and gathered all of the pamphlets they had out for children planning for their future and took them over to a table in the corner to look at. She spent several hours pouring over the information and sending some emails before finally tucking a few of the brochures into her briefcase and returning the rest to their table. Josephine went to the department store and purchased the things one would need for a long journey on foot: hiking boots, water bottle, sleeping bag, tent, small cast iron pan, a sewing kit, clothing that wasn't business attire, pokeballs, a first aid kit and a large bag to put it all in.
Over lunch Josephine wrote more emails, this time informing her family of her intention to leave town and that she would keep in touch, but she didn't share the specifics of her plan with anyone. That afternoon she packed her new bag. Around dinner time she recieved confirmation from Professor Oak that her age would not disqualify her from beginning a Pokemon journey with him. She reached out to a neighbor about subletting her apartment to their child who wanted to move out. And then that was it. The next morning Josephine would leave on her very own Pokemon journey. (18)
Goals: Josephine wants to try new things! She wants to travel and see new places, win at least one badge, win a contest and catch a team of Pokemon.
