Name: Artemis Higa
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Trainer Type: Breeder
Hometown: Not really from a town, although her home is situated neatly between Goldenrod City and Ecruteak City
Appearance:
((Feel free to ignore the Lugia. Image is originally meant for a plot I made up, but I use the character for all Pokemon plots.))
Since starting out on her journey, Artemis "dolled up" a bit as opposed to what she was usually wearing while living at her parents'. She wears a sleeveless black top with grey details stitched into it and covers herself up with a red sleeveless jacket. The beads around her neck belonged to her mother and her grandmother, and went up in the ancestry several generations up to one of her [several] great grandmothers who owned a Shellder and Cloyster farm and collected the little pearls they dropped and created a necklace out of them. It was assumed that the necklace was originally meant for the prized Snorlax whom the ancestor had since it is far too long for a normal human.
Her pleated skirt matches the grey tone on her shirt and drops down to the mid section of mid-thigh and her knee.
She wears black tights under her skirt and a pair of red and black vintage-looking heeled boots that button up on the inside.
On her back she has a ribbon with two diamond-shaped orange rhinestones embedded within them. She purchased them in Goldenrod City once under the instruction of the salesman who stated, "This will bring you luck in everything you do, and it's the height of fashion!" Which it wasn't.
She wears blue lipstick to match her eye-colour and really bring it out. It is strange and, while not many people wear it, she feels comfortable with it on and enjoys the contrast of blue against her skin colour. As another fashion venture, she dyed strips of her hair white. Much to her parents' dismay, she adored her abstract appearance and decided to keep the look rather than quickly dying herself a black-haired young woman again and pretending it never happened.
Personality: Artemis is mostly sarcastic and doesn't take things too seriously. She's light-hearted and enjoys the company of her Pokemon more than the company of other humans. Constantly curious, Artemis can often be found exploring, getting dirty, or annoying some one or some Pokemon.
During battles, she's mostly about strategy and uses the tried and true techniques she trains with her Pokemon. Because of her breeder instincts, she wants to know every aspect about the Pokemon and their strengths before daring a battle. Ideally, she wants to know her Pokemon inside and out and know just what they are capable of, but she knows that will take a lot of time and a lot of effort to master.
Artemis has a fear of arachnid Pokemon. The very picture of one sends her into a violent spree to try and squash the Pokemon or get away from it. If she had to pick a favourite species, though, then she would pick anything reptilian-like or dragon-like. Dratini, Feraligatr, Tyranitar, etc. She has a strange fascination with such Pokemon.
History: Her mother and father raised her as a child in the same out-of-the-way farm that her father grew up in when he was a child as well. With the aid of her father's Pokemon, she helped with the farming and such, since the house work was covered by her mother and the Farfetch'd and Blissey she had.
As Artemis was growing up, she wore overalls and plaid shirts and boots that clomped with every step. Her mother forever believed she would be a tomboy until she started to wear dresses and play with Blissey's curls. Her mother, pleased with this, began to teach her feminine things that completely grossed Artemis out and made her want to be a boy "again" for the longest time.
At the age of 10, right when she was ready to go get her first Pokemon, her mother became bed-ridden with an illness. The sickness was so sudden and so severe that it caught Artemis off guard and she forced herself into a solitude that none could penetrate. Her mother required much help, more than what just Farfetch'd and Blissey could offer, so Artemis helped as much as she could. Her mother fought to survive for as long as she could before she finally gave in three years after.
Then, for five years, Artemis remained at home with her father and the Pokemon, out of devastation over the loss of her mother. Her father wouldn't allow her to simply remain in her room, so she tended to the house as her mother had, or at least as best as Artemis could manage. She spent so much time out on the farm she had to be taught how to do things by the Pokemon so often, she felt inept and wanted to give up. The Pokemon, however, knew she could do better and showed her the love and encouragement she needed to boost her self-esteem.
Artemis was constantly around Pokemon, but she wanted more. She wanted to have a whole farm of Pokemon that she could tend to and love and grow old with. She read some of her parents' Pokemon books and discovered the job of a breeder. It interested her greatly, but she didn't want to just breed them, she wanted to battle Pokemon and have them in top shape.
Finally proud of her skills and knowledge, she approached her father with the idea of leaving to chase her dreams. The love she felt for the Blissey and Farfetch'd that had helped her through a difficult time instilled a desire to go out into the world and become a Pokemon breeder and battle with a finely trained Pokemon team. Her father, reluctant and bitter, agreed, saying Blissey and Farfetch'd could tend to the house chores while she was gone, as they practically did all the time anyway.
With her father's blessing, she set off to New Bark Town to get a beginner Pokemon of her own.
Goals: To breed Pokemon and live with them and grow old with them. Artemis wishes to own at least two of every Pokemon possible. She also wishes to come up with the best battle strategy for each Pokemon she owns... not a likely goal, but one she'll try to aspire regardless.
