Name:Avery Black
Age: 16
Gender:Female
Trainer Type: Trainer
Hometown: Olivine
Appearance:
Avery stands about 5’7, making her above average in height for her age. Her body type is thin and narrow, making her look small in most clothing. On first appearance, people tend to think of her as striking and somewhat unfriendly because she always looks serious and she always tends to be on the mood, never stopping to chat. Passerbyers notice her for her long, wavy mane of coppery hair that goes halfway down her back. She has nice features, but she’s more ‘pretty’ than beautiful. Avery has nice golden-brown eyes the color of butterscotch that are a little big for her face. Her eyes stand out against her lightly tanned skin from being outside all of the time. She has a heart-shaped face with a small noise and lips and a sharp upwardly curving jawline.
For clothing, Avery usually looks casual and comfortable; also, she dresses for weather rather than attention. She doesn’t put an extra amount of effort into dressing herself and prefers to look as natural as possible. Her favorite attire is a black military style jacket, sleek black pants, a pale turquoise scarf, and bright red tennis shoes. Underneath the jacket (she carries it with her everywhere whether it’s on or not), she usually wears small shirts in rich colors. Her most common choice in colors is pink, blue, red, or dark green.
Personality:
Avery prefers to say less rather than more. She shows affection in moderation and tends to keep her emotions from the naked eye to those she doesn’t no well. Normally, she says things plainly and can sometimes be indelicate with it. She doesn’t believe in white lies and feels that people should hear the truth, whether they want to know it or not. Also, Avery won’t greet anyone. They have to come up to her to talk to her and, on the rare occasion she will start discussion, she won’t hesitate to leave a conversation if it only appears to be one of small talk. She absolutely hates wasting time and finds small talk pointless. Due to her dislike of wasting time, she also hates being at one place and waiting. She tends to be a little flighty in that she never stays in one place for a long time.
People that are irritatingly happy all the time frustrate her. That doesn’t mean she’s unhappy, it just means she doesn’t like them. She feels that a person cannot be so overly happy all the time and that they’re overemphasis in happiness really means they’re the opposite. Avery overanalyzes others and forms her own opinions whether they are wrong or not. She shows her happiness, but doesn’t put herself out there for others to critique. She’s happier alone than with others and that is where she expresses her emotion more freely.
History:
Avery was born to Jaqueline and Morter Black only a year after they married. Her parents had an interesting relationship. While they appeared to enjoy each other’s company, they were rarely in it. Her father was a successful researcher. He was fascinated with the possibility of going to other areas and learning of new pokemon. Avery picked up that desire from him. Her father was scatterbrained and headstrong. He worked and traveled the cities avidly, always out of town or busy. Her mother didn’t seem to mind that and even switched around in jobs while his father was out of town, even though money wasn’t a problem.
While her mother seemed content with staying in Olivine, Avery was not. She couldn’t go out of the city far due to the lack of pokemon (she tried once, but her mother caught her in time). She spent most of her time walking the beach restlessly, feeling like a caged bird. Her mother, afraid of her safety after that escapade, decided that Avery would now help her with her ever-changing jobs. While Avery knew this was only a tactic to keep her in sight, Avery didn’t complain… at least she wasn’t cooped up in the house all day. It wasn’t like she had anywhere to go anyways without pokemon. She couldn’t go in the grass without on since it was unsafe so she might as well do as her mother said.
Her father spent next year researching and sent infrequent letters to home, which only made Avery more desolate. But her mother made a big deal every time they got one and pinned it up on the wall. “Be proud of your father like I am.” She told Avery. To be honest, Avery wasn’t proud. A job didn’t justify deserting a family. Sure, he was doing well with his work. Whatever. She didn’t seem him bringing any improvements back to them and his letters were as vague as ever, barely giving them any details. Avery prayed the day he came home, selfishly, because she thought he could help her get a pokemon so she could go on a journey.
Finally, he came home after that year long break when she was about ten. His mother was joyous and made everything perfect. Avery never got a minute alone with her father until right before he left again, only a week later. He laughed, patted her on the head like she was still five, and told her that she was too young for an adventure. It took six more years before her father finally understood that she was finally old enough to go out on her own, whatever her mother said. Her father was hesitant to take her along with him, but finally did. He brought her to Professor Oak’s lab to get her first pokemon.
Goals:
- to travel the world
- to find things that haven’t been seen before
Other Info:
-Avery prefers fire type pokemon, but likes steel types and fighting types as well.
-Her strategy tends to be more full out attack, but she uses different moves with a severe preference for stronger ones. She will rarely use healing moves if ever, despises moves like ‘Detect’, and will infrequently use a status changing move. She likes pokemon with strong attack, hp, or special attack above ones with high defense or special defense (she loves steel types, however, because they are resistant to many types).
-She loves finding new things and traveling
-She prefers to be outside rather than inside, feeling that buildings were not meant to be built.
-It irritates and saddens her that her father still thinks she's young and she feels like she grew up without a father. Her relationship with her mother is tense because she doesn't understand Avery and never seemed to try (in Avery's mind).
