Merina Lily Bennett

[Renkatsu ♥]

Name:

Merina Lily Bennett, named after her great grandmother. Though she isn't well known, some think of her as the "Crowned Imperial", a flower that looks pretty, but has a rather nasty smell, implying that she is deceiving (not that she smells bad).

Age:

Sixteen; Birthday: August 17th

Gender:

Female

Trainer Type:

Often, she appears to be a little less than an average trainer, with her shy personality. When she is in battle, she's very feisty, if not a bit sadistic about how the trainer's pokemon with loose the battle. She doesn't like to breed pokemon, nor would she be suited as a Co-Ordinator or Ranger.

Hometown:

Floaroma Town in Sinnoh. She used to work part time in Pick a Peck of Color.

Appearance:

Merina has long, warm brown hair usually kept in two pigtail braids, tied at the bottom with thin ribbons. To keep her bangs out of her eyes, she uses flower berets to hold them to the side (she keeps a surplus of these in her inventory). She has pale skin, though tanned in some areas, usually where she forgets to put sunscreen on summer days. She has bright green eyes, as bright as it can be without human interference with chemicals or such. She stands at five feet, four inches and has an average bust.

Her attire is an assortment of dresses, or flouncy blouses and pants (for those winter days). She keeps a thin jacket in her inventory, but if it were to get too cold for that to help, she would stay in a PokeCenter until the weather changed.

Personality:

At first, Merina can come off as the shy, reserved girl. To most people who can be considered acquaintances, she is a polite, charming, old fashioned girl. But if you were to hang around with her just a bit more, you'll find she isn't as sweet as everyone thinks she is. She actually has a strong fighting spirit, a snappy attitude and a short fuse when dealing with those she considers idiots. She's almost perfected hiding her true personality over the years, knowing people are more likely to help or give her stuff if she seemed nice and sweet, and seemingly helpless. Also, there was the plus that people wouldn't take her seriously in a battle. Sure, it was annoying, but it gave her a bit of a head start.

However, she isn't all mean and bossy. She actually has a nice side, one that hasn't been altered. Though not many people have seen this side of her, she does act very down to earth and gentile with her pokemon. And if she does find someone she likes, and doesn't annoy her too much (she's very picky) her real self can be rather charming and nice. Or trying to be. It doesn't happen very often, so she's not very used to acting like that. If they know the real part of her, she'll mostly hit them to show her affection.

History:

As a child of Rosa and Clarance Bennett, she was the youngest of the five children, she was often poked at for being the youngest, the least intelligent, though to most people surprise, she was smarter than she liked to show. Even at a young age, she knew when to flaunt something and when not to. Later, she could humiliate those that looked down on her, and often found her revenge in a way, but began to be known as a short tempered bully. She was the ruler of the playground, the girl that could bring any boy her age to his knees, and the big, mean girl, in a small body.

One by one, her older siblings left the house, leaving her the last children from her family in town. She was told to clean up her "act" before someone gets her for acting bigger than she really is. She began working at the Pick a Peck of Color, for a big of social skill training as she liked to call it. Very slowly, she managed to hide her real self, hiding her ugly personality under a thick mask, changing herself completely, though maintaining who she truly was underneath. She wasn't bad, why did everyone thing she was, though?

Finally, the people in her town thought that she had changed, becoming a respectful little girl that did what she was told, didn't get into any fights and wouldn't curse. Still, she knew when to flaunt something, and when not to, so she kept low, waiting for her chance to strike, waiting for her prey. People would come and go, she would act nice, but upon turning sixteen, she became very sick and tired of the same old thing and told her parents she was going to travel and train pokemon. She felt she could do more out there than selling flowers and pretending to be nice to every idiot in town,

Goals:

She wants to beat any gym leader she encounters and to train the pokemon she'll catch so that they can be very strong in helping her, so she can continue training them. Also, she wants to explore as much as possible

Other Info:

Though she's rather mean, she does adore cute pokemon and is reluctant to use a weird looking. One particular pokemon she wants to catch is Squirtle and/or Ralts.
