Name: Sophie Norwood
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Trainer Type: Trainer
Hometown: Mahogany Town
Appearance: Sophie is a bit on the short side for her age, standing at just under four feet in height at weighing in at about 90 lbs. Her skin is somewhat pale despite the fact that she enjoys playing outside. Her eyes are a brilliant shade of purple and are constantly brimming with curiosity. Sophie’s hair is bright pink, slightly resembling the shade of cotton candy. It would fall to just below her armpits if she wore it down. However, this is rarely the case as it is normally tied up in a pair of pigtails.
As for Sophie’s normal attire, she doesn’t wear anything out of the ordinary. She’s normally seen in a light blue tank top with a blue and white sweat jacket worn over the top of it. On her lower half she wears a layered purple skirt that is roughly the same shade as her eyes. Under the skirt she wears a pair of black bike shorts. To top it all off, a pair of bright yellow sneakers is her usual choice of footwear.
Personality: Sophie is quite the energetic young lass. Despite her childish looks and demeanor, she is quite serious about being a pokemon trainer. She has an optimistic outlook on life and is quite positive things will always turn out well as long as she gives everything 100%. It may seem like a foolish ideal to the more experienced trainers out there. However, as far as Sophie’s concerned, the world is her oyster and she can do anything she wants when she sets her mind to it. She’s a bit naïve in that sense.
As hard as Sophie tries, she simply can’t seem to break away from her childish ways. She knows that she has to in order for her family to take her seriously, but old habits die hard. She has the tendency to giggle a lot and views the world with innocence. Sophie loves cute things, and she can’t resist wanting to catch cute pokemon whenever she sees one cross her path. Another weakness she has is for sweets. No matter how adult she tries to act, she simply can’t hold onto that big girl attitude when faced with something that looks worm and soft to hug, or some sort of sugary snack or dessert. It’s tough trying to be a grown up when you can’t squeal with delight at the sight of either of those. What’s a girl to do?
History: Sophie Norwood grew up in Mahogany Town. She was the youngest of four children, having one older sister and two older brothers. All three of her siblings hand found their passions in life at fairly young ages and became quite successful. In fact, whenever family or friends were over at their home, all Sophie ever heard from her parents was how proud they were of her brothers and sister. They would constantly be gushing about how wonderful it was for Victor to be such an esteemed doctor, Isaac to be such a bright researched at Silph Co., or Grace to run such an acclaimed pokemon daycare. What did they say about Sophie? They talked about her too, but only about how adorable she was. That’s right. All three of her siblings were highly regarded in their chosen field, and the only recognition that Sophie ever got was that she was ‘cute as a button’.
It just wasn’t fair! It’s not like Sophie had never tried to be successful. She had gotten good grades in school and had always stayed out of trouble. Her family simply refused to look past her cute exterior. Therefore, she was constantly babied and reminded that she was the youngest. It was more than just a little frustrating. Sophie desperately wanted to achieve something great. She wanted her mom and dad to gush about something she was good at rather than the fact that she was their precious little baby.
One day while walking home from school, Sophie got an idea. She had spotted a pair of fluffy Mareep playing on the side of the road. Pokemon were awfully cute and cuddly. Maybe her talent involved them somehow? Her sister, Grace, already ran a Pokemon daycare though. She didn’t want to be a copy of one of her siblings. Her eyes suddenly lit up. A trainer! Why didn’t she see it before? Sophie had always loved Pokemon, and she was definitely old enough to start a journey of her own with one. She could go from town to town battling trainers and gym leaders alike. Her parents would HAVE to acknowledge the fact that she was more than just cute. Sophie didn’t want to risk being shut down. Instead of asking for permission, she decided to leave a note for her mom and dad before making her way to New Bark Town on her own.
Goals: There are two main goals that Sophie is working towards now that she has become a trainer. The first one is to catch lots of especially adorable pokemon. Those are the best to hug and befriend. The second and most important goal is to be an impressive enough trainer to make her parents want to brag about her just like they do with her older siblings by the time she comes back to Mahogany Town.
