Name:
Pinta Koizumi

Age:
17

Gender:
Girl

Trainer Type:
Pinta owns a Dratini Breeding Grounds on Pummelo Islands which she co-owns with her boyfriend, Drake. She is studying to be the world’s most successful breeder of dratini.

Hometown:
Pummelo Island in the Orange Islands

Appearance:
Pinta is 5,4” and 119 lbs. She has a narrow and well-proportioned figure. Her skin is lightly tan, with a healthy rose undertone. She has pink, hair which sometimes, in certain light appears blond-tinted. Her hair is long, nearly to her knees which she keeps plaited in one braid and tied in blue ribbon. Her eyes are a clear, crystal and brilliant blue colour, which match her hair ribbon and compliment her hair colour nicely. These are bordered in jet black lashes and are her main means of conveying emotion, helped too with her slight, pale pink brow.

She generally dresses when on-the-go in a black mini skirt, black boots, a yellow rain coat and purple scarf. She wears a locket of bronze with the words engraved “For thy sweet love rememb’red such wealth brings”, inside this locket is a photo of Drake. She wears a bracelet of dragon’s teeth – two dratini, two dragonaire and two dragonite. She wears too, a pink-tinted bandage on her left wrist. She carries a brown bag made of shed dragon’s skin, which is brown and colour with bronze clasps to keep it closed. She normally keeps her nails painted in a pale pink, similar to that of her hair.

When in her home on Pummelo Island, in its intense heat and her active lifestyle, Pinta dresses in more wear-and-tear-appropriate clothing. Here, Pinta dresses in a light yellow leotard, which continues to lengthen on either side in the appearance of a skirt, the back of which continues in a triangle to the backs of her knees. Beneath her leotard, is a wine-coloured vest, which ends below her knees at the back in two long ribbons. Around her waist, Pinta wears a pale blue sarong which matches her eyes and hair ribbon. Just above her waistline is a black, shiny, dragon’s skin belt which carries her pokeballs and weapons, which are a safety precaution that is needed in the Pummelo Island’s wilderness. Hanging loosely from this is her fanny pack, which she substitutes for a back-pack as it is more appropriate for her Orange Island adventures. She also wears a black, fingerless glove on her right hand, to protect her from her weapons sharp edges if a situation should arise in which she needs them quickly. On her right arm, she wears a band which contains a secret pocket, where she sometimes keeps intimate possessions which are important to her. On her left wrist she wears a pink-tinted bandage, along with her necklace; it is something she never takes off.

Personality:
Pinta is often cheerful and sweet – those around her would generally think her friendly and optimistic – perhaps even a tad “too happy” and annoying at times. She can at times be too trusting of people and tends to see the best in them in situations she shouldn’t, however, luckily for her, she always has Drake and Destiny looking out for her, who are only too aware of her naïve side. Her temper however, may flare up suddenly and with a vengeance, it is a great and fiery thing. Though many often think it as some sort of childish tantrum, few know its roots and the malice behind it; it is in fact the result of the pain of her past and issues of her childhood. Pinta can be very stubborn, too, once she sets her mind to something, there is very little that will stop her until she achieves what she aims for. She cannot handle the feeling of guilt – after her father making her feel the emotion daily, she vowed to do whatever she could to never feel it again, and so doesn’t take things or borrow or treat people badly if they are not deserving.

Under her bubbly personality, Pinta does have severe abandonment issues stemming from her relationship with her parents. Once she gets close to a person she becomes clingy. This may seem irritating and even borderline obsessive. She tends to have an obsessive personality anyway, but she genuinely can’t help it and just needs to know she won’t be left alone again. It is largely due to this, that Pinta sets up her Dratini Breeding Grounds – in short, a home for those without a home, and guaranteed love and affection – as she has plenty to give. Pinta is, ever since childhood, deathly afraid of ice-type pokemon. She has never battled one, though she wished she could, and win, so as to help overcome her fear. Though this certainly wouldn’t bring her over it entirely (it is far too deep-rooted for that) it may be a small stepping stone towards it, which will make her a stronger and better person.

History:
Pinta Koizumi was born, and lived her whole life on Pummelo Island. She grew up rather poor; her father, an unsuccessful man, made what money he could taking people on his boat to and from Pummelo Island, but it made little profit, and money was tight. Her mother, once a loving and proud woman, became somewhat mentally unhinged after an attack by a jynx that very nearly killed her and her daughter. It was this event that would make Pinta so obsessive and loving toward all dragon-type pokemon, however, more than anything else, those from the dratini family.

Pinta was young child when the event took place, of three years old. She was playing with her mother, the two of them completely alone, when a jynx appeared. It was injured, and perhaps frightened, but its attack came from nowhere, and there was little either of them could do. A forceful attack of Ice Punch, and Rhea dived in front of her daughter, desperate to keep her safe from harm. She took the full blow, and fell, unconscious to the ground. It was before the jynx could do much else that a dragonite appeared, a memory Pinta still has – its beauty was unforgettable. The dragonite and jynx fought to the death, both collapsing with sheer exhaustion – the dragonite’s eyes did not close right away, but fluttered shut after focusing somewhere behind Pinta, and even in her toddler’s mind she knew something must be up, the dragonite was telling her something. Turning, she realised her suspicions were true, behind her was a young dratini, a baby – and it was a brilliant, bright, pink! The two babies held each other until help arrived, and have been ever since. However, after this event, Rhea was forever changed, distant, even, and Pinta still freezes up just looking at ice-type pokemon.

Her mother passed when Pinta was fourteen, killed herself after her worst attack ever. Pinta’s father was devastated and began heavily drinking, he quit his job and Pinta was left with only little Destiny, and her new dratini, Darshan, for comfort. At the age of sixteen, she left her father; unable to bear the constant blame he bestowed upon her, went travelling. She never looked back.

On her travels, Pinta met Drake the Head Gym Leader of the Orange League Plateau, when she was to battle him having beaten the entirety of the Orange League, using only Destiny, another new dratini, Desi and her now evolved Darshan. She lost against him, but she did interest him – he was amazed with her having three pokemon of the dratini family, and was curious as to how she had gained all from such a rare breed if she was not breeding them. She had explained that Destiny had brought them to her, but if they ever wanted to leave, they were free to. This gave them the idea to start a Dratini Breeding Grounds, which would become their new business. It was to be a place where dratini could come, and know they were in safe hands, be fed and looked after, but if they ever wanted to leave, they were more than free to. Here, many dratini and their evolutionary forms come regularly, some choose to stay and become spoilt pets of Pinta and Drake’s, some come for a recovery period before leaving again, and some leave their young, where they will be looked after until they are ready to be released, or, if they so choose, stay.

After setting this up together, somewhere in all the stress and mess of starting their own home for these creatures, Pinta and Drake found they had fallen for each other.

One day, when Pinta was out hunting around to see if she could find any abandoned dratini eggs, which sadly happened quite often, she found one, rather small, and so brought it home to warm and look after. Whilst in her arms, the egg hatched and out came … a squishy green thing. Pinta shrieked, dropped it and kicked it when she was trying to get away – she had no idea what it was, though of course it must be a pokemon. When she kicked it, on impact, it shone and seemed to grow before her eyes! It was now at least four times its size and really quite unattractive – a dopey smile seemed permanently etched on its face. She lugged it’s now massive body to a Pokemon Centre and was told it was a bayleef, and, having kicked it rather hard as it was hatching, she had injured its skull and brain – it could never roam free, it needed constant attention and care. Pinta was horrified that she had caused the creature pain, but asked Nurse Joy if perhaps she could keep the bayleef at the centre, or perhaps send it somewhere to be looked after. Nurse Joy was furious at this, and rightly so, and so a few hours later, Pinta was hurrying home with a cheerful and dopey bayleef at her heels by name of Driscell, her new sidekick who annoyed both her and Destiny thoroughly but who they both (albeit secretly), loved.

Goals:
Now seventeen, Pinta plans on proving herself, but without the help this time of her loyal pokemon partner and dopey sidekick – it’s something which must be done alone. She aims on meeting, and beating Clare, overcoming her fear of ice-type pokemon, if need be, and, to gain knowledge and experience so she can indeed be the greatest Dragon Breeder of all time! After a tearful goodbye to Destiny and Driscell, and one which was even more so with Drake in which he gave her the necklace she now wears round her neck, she set out with new determination and a thirst to gain what she needs.

Well, everything seems okay to me. I don't see anything wrong with her relationship with Drake since there seem to be quite a few people who are involved with the canons in some way as well.

Anyway, Accepted, so please pick out your starter while I set up this profile~ And welcome to the Forum~

Squirtle
Name: Diagon
Gender: Male
Level: 5
Attacks: Tackle, Tail Whip
Ability: Torrent
Nature/Personality: Diagon tends to be ingratiating to his trainer, he plays sweet, thoughtful and brave when Pinta is around, and loves to hear her say she is proud.
However, he is very different when around others, in particular pokemon. He tends to get jealous, and wants attention whenever he can. He tends too, to play the baby, sweet, cute and hard to say no to.
To pokemon, he has an often grumpy personality and morbid sense of humour. Often times he will not get on with or befriend other pokemon, preferring the company and approval of humans.
He is very defensive of himself and his trainer, and will do whatever it takes to protect and please her. He also very much cares about what is thought of her and her reputation, though he does not have the same qualms about his own.
