Name: Maerie.
Gender: Female.
Race: Human.
Age: 23.
Sexuality Preference: Straight.
Appearance: Always one to fret over her appearance, Maerie is always well trimmed, almost to perfection. She does not decide what to wear in the morning, but instead decides which outfits she'll wear all week. She hates the idea of wearing the same outfits week after week, however, so she's always got different clothes on, because she wonders if people will think she doesn't wash her clothes every night, and that would be horrible. So she smells like a sort of berry wonderland thanks to all of the detergents. Her outfits are always incredibly stylish, to match her bubbly personality, as well as her hair.
She's tall, measuring somewhere around 5 feet and 10 inches. She's also slim, but not skinny- she doesn't like the word skinny, because she hates the idea of being 'boney' and not 'fit. Her hair is normally let down, shining and silky, though sometimes she will have it in a ponytail if she wants to look pretty, but still sporty. Although at first sight she may be underestimated as one who cares too much about her looks than her battling, her green eyes have a very determined look in them whenever she battles, and she can concentrate and be a feirce battler if she has to- while still looking beautiful.
Personality: Maerie gets a kick out of people who underestimate her, and figure they will have an easy match. It's always a challenge, and even if those trainers don't admit it, they know it, too. At least, that's what Maerie likes to think. She has to be wearing an 'in' outfit. Although this is a strong hobby of hers- being pretty, that is- her first priority is always her pokemon. She trains them many times a day, making sure people will not judge her by her looks, or judge grass pokemon as weak, as she knows many trainers do. Her pokemon are always fairly amused by her personality, and she is sometimes, too. Although she's 23, she sometimes acts more like a teenager than anything, though only when she's around her pokemon.
She's fairly optimistic during battle, and is able to keep a level head through almost anything. Her pokemon are extremely well trained and follow her orders to whatever extent, trusting her with anything. She knows this, but does not take advantage of her pokemon either. She loves challenges and accepts them always, of course, and enjoys seeing new trainers come everyday. In battles, she does not hold back at all. Sometimes she will start of easy, or so some people think, but she likes to always have a strategy and a back-up plan.
History: As a kid, Maerie had liked Water Types. She'd loved water types, and declared at three years old that she would be a water type gym leader. She studied them, played with her parents Poliwags and Squirtles. Her parents loved her dearly- they always said she was going to be an amazing trainer someday, and Maerie believed it, too. She had a pretty sweet life- her parents were French, and also cheifs. So Maerie knew what good food was, but a result of this was that she got a bit chubby. This, of course, she hated, and set out to thinning herself down. As she went on this journey- and at this point she was about 13 or 14- she learned that she could be fit and skinny a As a young trainer, her and her Squirtle had battled at the same time. Of course, while she was reading many magazines, yoga booklets and the like, she also learned a lot about fashion and style. She absolutely adored the clothes that were inside the magazine, and soon she was a different person.
This scared her parents a bit, considering she had become a bit of a girly-girl. It scared her, too, until she accepted it, telling her parents and knowing full well that she was still a strong pokemon trainer, and she did want to go on her journey. Once she had become 'slim' and fit to her standards, she got a squirtle from the lab and set out to training. On the way, she ran into a trainer who had a Chikorita, and they battled. The Chikorita beat her Squirtle easily, and Maerie compared the two. The Squirtle was not very cute, and was horrible against a grass type. The Chikorita was absolutely adorable, had good endurance, and headstrong. Maerie headed back home, gave her parents the squirtle who she decided to let go, and adopted a Bulbasaur from the lab instead. It wasn't as cute as the Chikorita, but she actually connected with it more than the Squirtle.
When she finally made it to the grass gym, she realised that was what she wanted to do. The town, Oasis, that it was in, was her home, and she knew it. Her team at that point was mostly grass, and she lost against the gym trainer. Determined and stubborn, she kept training her pokemon until they were strong and healthy, and then went and confronted the leader. She won within minutes, to the shock of the other gym leader, and left to train her pokemon more. After a year or so of training, she applied to be gym leader in that gym during a time period when the other gym leader had retired. She was accepted, and Maerie began being a grass type gym leader. She learned even more about strategies in battle, and has been the gym leader for years now.
Roleplay Sample: "Haha, yes, I know exactly what you mean." Maerie's smooth voice could be heard as she walked into the gym, her Bayleef talking to her excitedly. All around her, Oasis Town was bustling- the flower shop, one of Maerie's favourite places to go, was busy as always, and she smiled and raised a hand to lightly wave to the shop owner, who smiled and waved back. She headed for the gym, which was up ahead, many blooming flower baskets hanging outside of it, as well as a small sign just ahead of it that told trainers this was Maerie's gym, and it was grass types. She pushed open the door and it swung open to reveal a large grassy field, the grass flattened around the middle where pokemon normally battled. She took a breath in, taking in the scent of many different flowers and exotic plants that decorated the edge of the field, and fixed her hat before she walked across it with her Bayleef. At her end, she let out her three pokemon, and they all looked up at her.
"Alright," Maerie began with a smile, "Are you all ready? Do you want some carbos or something before we open up for the day, or was the pokemon center enough?" she asked, shuffling in her bag for different PP ups or Proteins. Her pokemon exchanged glances.
<We're fine, Maerie!> her Bayleef chirped, and her Roserade nodded.
<Yes, we're fine.> her Vileplume nodded it's large head as well, and Maerie nodded and put the stuff away, returning her three pokemon and waiting patiently for another trainer to come and challenge her.
