Short Appearance: In terms of looks, Skyler is quite Normal. She isn’t really pretty, but you wouldn’t exactly call her ugly either. Her hair is a short, and a very natural chocolate brown…so she swears. Very often it is pulled up into a messy ponytail with a dark olive colored ribbon, which with its dark contrast blends in with her thick mass of locks. The farthest that her hair will go is a small bit past her shoulders. Though she prefers it like this because it’s easier to take care of then having a whole mess of long hair to look after in her opinion.

Her skin is not very dark, and carries a light tone that is almost pale. From the time she was a child, Skyler didn’t actually go out that much, and she would have much rather sat down in a corner of her room, reading. When she wasn’t doing that, she’d stay in her living room and play with her Mom’s Lillipup, Morter.

Her choice of clothes isn’t exactly much to stir up a fuss about wither. She often chooses a combination of darker and lighter colors, pinks and reds, and normally a tank top and an overshirt with some black or blue jeans, unless of course its way to cold for any of that. She cares little for what people think of her fashion, so to top off her outfits she wears yellow sunglasses with whatever the day’s choice is. The only time she tries to actually dress, well…nicer then she normally does.

they can't tell me who to be
'CAUSE I'M NOT WHAT THEY SEE

Personality:Skyler is not really your average softie of a woman, but she’s also got her limits. She’ll like you as long as, how it is with most people, you don’t make her mad. She can sometimes have a sharp tongue, which may lead her to argue with friends and hurt someone’s feelings, but she only means what she says about half the time when she’s angry. She seems at first, sort of intimidating, but once you get past first meeting her, you’ll find it’s a lot easier to get along with her.

She can be your best friend or worst enemy really, depends on how you treat her. She is, as a friend, often very sarcastic, how she is in her own nature. She listens well when you have a problem, but can never guarantee she can solve it. Though she chose to travel, she sometimes considers turning around and going home, since she isn’t really one for the outdoors. However, she likes it occasionally, it takes a pretty set of scenery or two to make her consider staying on the road, just for that.

She, around crowds, becomes quiet, unless there is something she needs to speak out for. She doesn’t understand bonds between humans and humans too well, and doesn’t read them well, but she is more interested in the relationships between Pokémon and people. This is why she chose to be a Pokemon Connoisseur.

how can the world want me to change
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT STAY THE SAME

Family Members:

• Luciada Larken (Mother, 46)
  
• Henry Larken (Father, 48)
  
• Yume Larken (Sister, 10)
  
• Lucas Larken (Brother, 15)

History:Skyler was born to Luciada and Henry Larken, who at the time, were overjoyed to have their newborn, their firstborn child. Of course, with a baby, came a lot of money spending, and the family found themselves struggling quickly. Henry worked hard to make ends meet since Luciada was put out of work since she had to care for Skyler. He somehow pulled it off, even if he was often exhausted day in and out, he tried his best to keep his family thriving.

Once Skyler grew old enough that she would be fine with a babysitter, her mother started working again, though, she’d often teach her daughter some Spanish when she had the chance, wanting Skyler to carry as much of the culture from her side of the family as she could. Skyler got used to staying alone, though once her mother received a Purrlion from her job, she grew a lot closer to it than the actual people around her.

Skyler also didn’t care too much when her brother Lucas was born. By this time, her family was stable enough money wise to afford another baby, though Skyler often kept her distance, out of jealousy, not that she’d ever admit that.

She reflected on how Lucas had a similar problem when their sister Yume was born, and knowing what it was like, helped him through that stage. Still hanging around the Purrlion of her mother’s, Skyler realized she wanted to learn how to bond more with Pokemon, since people…weren’t really her thing, so from that day of realization, she decided it was certainly something she’d love to do, and hopefully do well. She also resolved she didn’t mind challenging gyms, however, if it got too tough on her and her team, she’d also try to quit…what a journey this was to be.

i want a moment to be real
WANNA TOUCH THINGS I DON'T FEEL

OOC Name:Kataya, or Kat.
Age: 17..soon~
Member Title: Normal Member? Not sure what I was supposed to put here o.o
Experience:I've been roleplaying for about five years, and have modded, and still am modding at one site before, so I can say I have a bit of experience.
Post Example:

Raine was suddenly startled as the shrieking monkey landed on her head, but she quickly recovered as soon as the thing scrabbled off her head. She knew that this had to be the Chimchar they were looking for, because Chimchar did not naturally appear on this route. She tapped Saphy’s neck lightly.

“After it.” She ordered. Saphy gave a quick nod and led her along gently, pushing through the trees after the Chimchar. Saphy, as soon as she saw what was going on, reported it to Raine.

“There’s a Beautifly and a Dustox here. They don’t seem to keen on letting the thing go either… we’ll have to do something.” Raine shook her head, annoyed now. She was just supposed to capture the damn thing, not save it.

“If we must.” She took a minute to think about who to use. Bradi was an obvious choice, but there was also someone on the team that needed the training more. Talon. She had bought Talon from the Pokemon Pit, a place located in Team Rocket headquarters. Some people had told her it was one of the most hideous things they had ever seen, but Raine couldn’t care less, she couldn’t see him, so who was she to judge?

Even so, it had been explained to her Talon was dangerous, especially in double battles. He was not hesitant to attack a member of his own team, and this was why she feared using him. However… it was probably the only way they’d get anywhere. She trusted her two long time Pokemon, Bradi and Saphy, could take care of themselves.

“Bradi, Talon, go!” Saphy jumped back at the mention of the name, startled with the choice Raine had made.

“Talon?! Raine, They said-“ Raine shrugged.

“I don’t care what they said, you and Bradi can handle yourselves.” Talon, with his finger-like wings, took to the air, squawking in pure rage.

“Tailloww!” Prey! He called upon seeing Bradi. He dove towards her, and Bradi quickly evaded, jumping backwards to avoid his beak.

“Buneary Bun!” Calm down will you?! The strange marking on his belly showed clearly as he flew through the air, circling above Bradi. He then went down towards Saphy.

“Taillow!” You’ll do! Though, Saphy was quick, moving fast to avoid the swooping Taillow. With an angry stamp, she warned Bradi, who formed an ice beam and shot it at Talon. Talon gave a quick screech and moved out of the way, not satisfied, but he realized the Rabbit would not be an easy target, so he’d leave it alone, just for now. Saphy started up her confusion. Mind Control, Mind control! This is what talon thought as he was placed next to Bradi, lucky Saphy didn’t have the heart to finish the attack.

“Talon, cut the crap! If you really want to attack something, use Peck on that Dustox!” Raine ordered, hearing the commotion before her. She then commanded Bradi next.

“Bradi, try an Ice beam on Dustox, I’m pretty sure Talon can’t do this on his own. He’ll be too busy attacking those bugs to attack you, and I’ll be returning him as soon as we finish.” She explained. Bradi wasn’t too happy with Talon, but she’d obey Raine. She started to collect the cold ice in her throat, preparing for an ice beam attack.
