Name: Sharde Winter
Gender: Female
Race: Pokemorph (Rapidash)
Sexuality Preference: Straight
Appearance: Sharde has an peculiar beauty that not all find appealing. Her face, to begin with, is thin and sharply featured with high cheek-bones. Lips are normal in comparison, as her nose, which sits evenly between her eyes without any sort of oddity that sets her apart. Eyebrows are thin, as if they were drawn on with a fine pencil, and dark-reddish hued. Though by no means competing with her hair, Sharde's eyes are a thing to behold. Some would call it burgandy, or red champagne coloured. They tend to look near black indoors, but in the sun, they glow brilliantly. Much like her Rapidash counterpart.
Her hair deserves a paragraph all to it's self. It is a firey mass of waves, hitting just at her thighs. This is the part about herself that most resembles the tail of a rapidash. Even as she is still it has something like a life of it's own. Fluttering like it's lifted by the soft breeze, and yet, there's not a breath of wind. It is the color of flames, vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow. She often wears it in a braid, so as not to draw unwanted attention.
Sharde is lean and wirey, standing around 5'7, she's not short either. Her legs were made for running, and her long fingers nimble. She wears clothes that fit comfortably, pants, never skirts, and often a long coat in cooler months. Minimal makeup accents her face, and she is not one for excessive jewelry. She also carries a drawstring back-pack for traveling.
Personality: I could say that Sharde is an over-excited happy-go-lucky young woman. But that would be far from the truth. Tortured by her patchwork past and haunted my nightmares that never seem to cease, she has become nervous and untrusting. This tends to push people away from her, as she draws away from them. Smiles are lost on her, as jokes and displays of affection. It would take one determined and compassionate person to lift her out of her perpetual depression and get her to trust again. (I'm not to great on personalities, I like to play my character and develope a personality as I go.)
History:
A girl's scream filled the laboratory, shrill and frightened, it caused the scientists to turn and frown. Furious that they had been so rudely interupted once more. A hand struck her full on the face, the six year old girl, shivering on a cold metal table. She was one of the orphan experiments, a throwaway if things screwed up. Missed by none, wanted by none. She had just began the long process of DNA transfusion, that is of a pokemon. Recently orphaned and adopted by one of the scientists.
The tests they ran were not particularly painful. But there was no comfort for a young girl, no hand to hold when the needle went in. Blinding white light shown in her face, wires crossing her bare skin and an ache that filled her body head to toe. But she knew nothing else. This was her life.
When she was eight, the girl began to take notice of her surroundings. Of the people and the machines. She never saw anyone with hair like her.
It was the day she turned nine that she fled. She was to old to be as naive, she knew that the scientist came from somewhere and they left to somewhere. Through the door. When the testing time came, she ripped free of their grasp and flew out the door. As she stepped into the light of day, she screamed, screamed so loud that a flock of pokemon burst from the trees. Hands grabbed her arms, but she was panicked and raging, a clash of emotions that sent her skin boiling. The high yelps of the scientists as they desperatly grasped at her, only to be scorched by her skin. The girl's hair flickered all around her like the flames in a bonfire, and the scientists stumbled back, letting her escape into the forest.
It took her five years to learn the ways of the world. Even still, she is a solitary person. Afraid that her persona would slip under the pressure of mere conversation. She gave herself a name, and has recent been able to deal better with her continous problems, though Team Pravus is always on her tail and she fears capture soon.
I was hoping that she could be "free" now, but really soon get captured by Team Pravus?
