Name: Eloise "Ellie" Langstrom
Age: 14
Gender: female
Trainer Type: super nerd
Hometown: Saffron City, Kanto
Appearance: Eloise is a plain looking girl with dull, sad eyes.Her long hair is unkempt and frizzy, giving her a disheveled look. She hides her eyes under long bangs and glasses. She is lanky and awkward with an androgynous physique. Though she's tall, her poor posture makes her look a little shorter. She is uncoordinated and has a coltish gait. As a result of this, her arms and legs show off many bruises, scrapes, and cuts which she haphazardly covers in bandaids. Her outfits are practical, but not especially stylish. Her clothes tend to favor durability and utility over any sense of what's trendy. She eschews makeup. Her skin is deathly pale. She has a faint smattering of freckles. Her voice can best be described as a lifeless monotone. When she laughs, it mostly comes across as a creepy snicker.
Personality: Sullen, moody, and all around anti-social, Ellie is not exactly a pleasant person to be around. Her strange and offputting behavior turns people away. Ellie doesn't mind. She's the type to prefer being alone. The outside world hasn't exactly been kind to her. She likes pokemon more than people, but keeps them at arms length. The only kind that interest her are the weird, odd, and rare ones. While most people feed pidgeys breadcrumbs, she's more the type to feed rotting banana peels and expired milk to the grimers.
Her understanding of the world and its people comes mostly from TV and even then she mostly watches pokemon league battles and gym leader interviews. She wants to understand pokemon better, but has neither the patience nor the will to become a researcher, and instead contents herself to be a devoted hobbyist. That way she answers to no one and can focus on what she likes. Ellie is a neurotic girl, mistrustful of others and more than willing to use them to her own gain. She's stopped only by her lack of people skills. She's cynical, jaded, and has somewhat of a victim complex. She thinks the world has shortchanged her, and therefore she is justified in doing whatever she wants. Going back into the world, on a grand new adventure in Johto, Ellie has the opportunity to reinvent herself whichever way she wants. Hero? Maybe. Villain? Conceivably. She doesn't really care, so long as she gets to have fun.
History: Eloise was the second child born to two corporate types in Saphron City. Her older brother was an up and coming pokemon trainer, whose career was cut short due to an illness. Naturally, his condition lead to his parents devoting most of their attention to him. Eloise, from a young age, struggled to find her place in the sun. Even in his sickbed, her brother cast a long shadow, and occupied most of her parents attention. They were never the type to play with her or give her guidance. So long as she kept to herself and didn't cause too much trouble, they had no cause for concern. She didn't get on with other students, though not for lack of trying. In the end, she always came back to reading books about Pokemon. They fascinated her, and she always imagined having one of her own.
Goals: Achieve greatness, become so strong no one would ever think to mistreat her again.
Other Info:
- loves mechanical/artificial pokemon with bug types being a close second.
- cant control the volume of her voice
-Her brother's name was Thomas, her adoptive sibling's name is Jean.

The companionship, the power, all of it. She wanted to be a gym leader except no one would be able to beat her. She wanted to rule a castle as its beautiful and terrible princess. Though such dreams were never meant to be. Her parents were quick to veto the idea of her owning a pokemon. She was too young, too irresponsible, they said. After all, if she forgot to do her homework, she would surely forget to feed whatever rat or bird pokemon they bought her. She cried for hours, and her parents simply ignored her. She tried her best to prove herself to them. That she was worthy of their attention and worthy of a pokemon.Somehow, it never seemed to happen. They moved the goalposts, kept saying "next year" and "your grades could be better".
By the time she was 8 her brother died. Her parents were prostrate with grief. Eloise, however, felt nothing. She didn't know her brother. Not really. They weren't close, and she grew up being told to feel only a certain way about him. She was expected to honor and mourn him (while he was still alive, mind you) from as soon as she could walk. She wished her parents would look at her the way they looked at him. After the worst of the grief had passed, Ellie got her wish.
Her parents became unusually interested in her life. They encouraged her studies, took her around the region to view the great sights of kanto. She did not ask them for a pokemon, out of fear that would make them revert back to their old ways. She tried harder in her studies, and her parents praised her for being so smart. They insisted she was going to become a great scientist one day, and each day she should further that end. She didn't have much time for friends. She tried to get some, but it never worked out. She didn't need them though, not when she had a dream and her parents backing.
Middleschool hit Ellie like a freight train. Harder classes, meaner classmates, and the ravages of puberty more or less ruined any momentum she had going for her. When it seemed like the world depended on her getting good marks, she failed. She froze up, and her parents gave up on her. Truth be told she was never a genius. It was just that she was above average and somewhat precocious. She couldn't make herself do well, and she fell further and further behind. It all seemed so pointless, especially now that her parents had seemingly shown they never truly loved her.
She was just their backup plan when their firstborn died.
When she was 13 years old, her parents announced they were adopting another child. Ellie felt nothing. She was being replaced just as she was meant to replace her brother. The moody hormonal teenager didn't care. She flew too close to the sun and got burned. It was safer to fly bellow the radar. After all, her parents were more or less content to let her do whatever she wanted. She frequented the game corner, the Celadon department store, and fed wild pokemon she found, but mostly she stayed in the comfort of her room. Besides the bullying, new sibling, and lack of any real human connection, things were good.
Highschool came around and her parents made one last concerted effort to get their daughter to amount to much of anything. When faced with strenuous academic plans, tutors, after school programs, and no more allowance, she decided to do something bold. She fled on the magnet train to Goldenrod, intent on starting a new life in another region. She intends to make the life she always dreamed of
