Hair Color & Style: Bailey's natural hair color is blonde, but from the age of thirteen, she has been experimenting with different hair dyes and products. She is now keeping her hair color a red shade of strawberry blonde, currently. Her hair is mostly straight with some waves in the middle, and curls at the tips. The length of her hair reaches past her chest. Here is an example.
On occasions, she'll tie her hair up in a pony tail or a bun, particularly in hot seasons, but for the most part she'll keep the hair down.
Eyes: Bailey has almond shaped, bright sky blue eyes. They can be rather expressive, though that's hardly surprising for a teenager. They are a tad on the large side, though they are mostly average in terms of size. They distance between her eyes is a bit larger than average as well, though this is a bit more noticeable of a difference. Her parents always told her that they hoped her eyes would stay this shade of blue, and were rather elated when it happened. Bailey herself is quite fond of her blue eyes, as it helps her stand out from her family a bit. However, her poor eyesight came with the unfortunate consequences of having to wear glasses at the age of 12 for a short time. It didn't take long for her to dislike this and adamantly decide to wear contacts instead.
Clothing/Accessories: Being somewhat of a performer, Bailey understands the importance of looking good, and always having the right outfit for the right occasion. That being said, Bailey has far too many options to realistically list off in one go, and the options change regularly. Instead, we'll go with what her current favorite is depending on the weather.
To start with, Bailey keeps a pair of glasses in a purple case in her pocket in case of a disaster involving her contact lenses. Otherwise, they're never seen, really. They're a simple pair with clear lenses and black rims, nothing really special about them. Simply meant to be simple enough to fit every outfit in every occasion.
Her favorite outfit, and thus the one she wears most often, is an outfit that works in almost any situation. She can wear it while climbing a mountain, and it is also an appropriate outfit it to wear when meeting someone for the first time. It is perfect for some of the warmest summer days, but all she needs is a jacket and it is good for the cold times, too. Of course, not every outfit is perfect, as it does have it is limits, but it is her go to outfit for almost every occasion.
This outfit is simply a sea green, sleeveless blouse with round edges on the arms and a round collar. The shirt covers her entire chest area from front to back as well as her entire abdominal area. With this she either wears white kapris in the summer times, as well as red sandals with gold buckles. Alternatively, if she is walking through tough terrain, she has a pair of orange brown sneakers instead. To turn this outfit into one that is more appropriate for winter, Bailey brings out her black leather jacket, and wears gray jeans as well as a short pair of burgundy colored boots with black laces and a slight heel on them. She also has black boots with no heels that are a bit longer, but for most general occasions she sticks with the Burgundy ones.
Finally, she has an array of accessories, though her favorites are a sea green colored beanie, and a golden necklace with a butterfly on it. She always wears the necklace around her neck, but the beanie is only meant for times during the cold winter. She also always has a pair of ear rings on, though their usually only the small ones with a single gem on it.
General Appearance:
Bailey is a girl that is rather a little shorter than average for her age, and she has the weight to back it up. She has a rather slim physique, and due to being in her teens still, she still has some occasional acne to contend with. Fortunately, that isn't anything a good bit of makeup can't take care of as far as hiding it goes. Bailey is Caucasian, though she is not the lightest shade of white. Her shade of skin is more of a medium. This teen is a bit on the skinny side, making a lot of her joints look a bit more bony than most. She is not big boned, however, as this is only really true of her knees and elbows.
She as a couple of birthmarks on her face, though that is also covered up by make up. Her ear lobes is attached to her head, and she has the pierced as she usually has ear rings on. Bailey always carries herself with as much confidence as possible, as she was conditioned to believe that an Albertson always should. That being said, she also tends to slouch outside of performances, and though she claims that public perception always matters, her actions in public places tend to contradict this, especially when she is tired or moody.
As a teen, Bailey has a bit of a bad habit that she's trying to get over involving biting her nails. Without even realizing it, the teen will nip at her nails, and before she knows it, they're all gone. Because of this, her nails are rather short, and she has not had much success with fake nails or even nail polish yet.
As far as emotions go, she has a wide variety of them. She is a teenager, however, and thus the negatives far overshadow any of the positive ones, especially with any imperfections about her appearance. Outside of performances, one can often find a neutral expression at best if not an outright scowl when she has a bad day. This makes her seem unapproachable and anti-social, which is not necessarily true. Sure, social interactions make her nervous, but she does crave friendships, and is most at peace when she is surrounded by people she likes. Whether this be people or Pokemon does not matter, she will take any interactions she can get.
Emotions she shares outside of performances are genuine. She never tries to hide how she feels with a fake smile when off stage. When she is performing, even, she loves the spotlight so much that any worries she may have had previously seems to vanish. They do, however, return with a vengeance as soon as it is over. This is why she loves battling so much. The teen takes advantage of the battle field to let loose all of her pent up emotion into battling the opponent's Pokemon. Some times the best outcome is when she loses even, as this allows her to unleash even more emotion than she would otherwise. Of course, she is not too fond of losing, but it can be more healthy to happen to Bailey than even most people.
Bailey would like to be able to carry around a light purse around, but with the amount of clothes she needs that is not always an option. It rarely is, actually. So instead she has to keep it all in her back pack. The one she currently has, she is not the most fond of. On the contrary, she finds it is the one thing she owns that is incredibly tacky, but it is a necessary evil for all the benefits this back pack provides. The backpack itself is a dirty brown, as she calls it, with patches of a slimy green here and there. It looked kind of like something a Garbodor would roll in. However, it keeps all of her essentials, including her clothes, her make up, her tooth brush and tooth paste, her hair products, contact lenses case, her hair brush and comb, and, most importantly, her holocaster. She always insists that a girl never goes anywhere without a holocaster. Needless to say, she would be absolutely lost without her backpack, but at the same time she is on the look out for a new one.
This backpack can be worn on her back, but at times when it becomes too heavy, she is also able to attach wheels and a handle to it and roll it on the ground if need be.
Hometown: Cadence, Central Godai
Personality:
Outside of her love of fashion and making herself look good, which is quite obvious at this point, Bailey is a teen with a lot of inner turmoil. Being under the control and influence of her mother's iron thumb for basically the entirety of her life, Bailey isn't quite as self assured as she would like to have everyone believe. She likes to talk big and claims that her lineage makes her destined for greatness, often talking down to people to prove she is not insecure. That being said, she does not really like to talk down to them, and is only doing so because she is, in fact, incredibly insecure.
Because of how insecure she is, Bailey tends to make rash and reckless decisions even when she has decided it is not a good idea. Her goal, first and foremost, is to force people to see her how she wants them to see her rather than how she really is. Bailey dislikes being alone for long periods of time, but also dislikes talking to strangers. She usually ends up saying something rather rude on bad days, and jumbling over her words utterly embarrassing herself when days are good. Bailey is capable of being rather polite when she needs to be, though she does not appreciate being told to do so. In fact, she is not a fan of being told what to do at all.
Bailey is somewhat rebellious by nature, and has a compulsion when told to do something to do the opposite. She does not see the problem in this as she believes herself to be a lot smarter than she actually is. Bailey's confidence in her abilities and potential are inflated to the point where she does not even recognize her own insecurities most of the time. Her parents often compared her pride to that of a Piplup's as she often times never really visibly questions her decisions even when she does so inwardly. Bailey always tries to take charge of situations, but instantly backs out when things do not go quite the way she hopes, and is quick to blame others for her mistakes.
That being said, Bailey is a genuine person deep down, and when she does realize that she has made a mistake, she will own up to it. Though she isn't quick to recognize her faults, when she does recognize them, she does everything in her power to make things right. Bailey is a bit of a rebellious teen who doesn't like to follow rules, but she does have a moral compass, and tries her best to follow it, even though she is not always very good at it. Bailey is an incredibly loyal friend, and once you get past all of her problems, she is a friend for life. She is willing to put up with any sort of baggage that one might have, and is incredibly patient to those she trusts.
She is not very good at keeping secrets, though, so keep those under lock and key. She is not a blabber mouth, per say, but she isn't the best liar. She would have to trick herself into believing something is not true in order to keep a secret, which though she is capable of, is not something she finds easy to do. She is also prone to getting jealous at times if she feels like she is being ignored too much.
Bailey is an extrovert at heart, meaning she gets energy from interacting with others around her. That being said, even she enjoys some time alone from time to time, though she does not like being forced into these types of situations. When she decides she wants some time to think, breath, or even take a nap, she finds herself enjoying it. Listening to music on her phone is one of her favorite activities, but she also likes to read novels. She finds the more harrowing stories inspire her creativity.
That being said, she can only stand being alone for so long before she gets starved of human contact. When this happens, all of Bailey's flaws amplify, and she becomes a complete drama queen. She doesn't like being in her thoughts too much as it eventually ends up making her think about her parents and siblings, which are people she is trying to avoid at the moment. She constantly tries to bring her attention to something, anything else. If there is a distraction, she will find it, and she will use it. However, being starved of contact takes quite a bit longer when she is with her Pokemon, though even this is not enough to satisfy her at times. Bailey likes to have conversations, and when she is talking with someone who can not really talk back, there is almost no point in having the conversation.
So, to break it down, Bailey is a typical teen with a lot of teenage angst and anxiety, incredibly insecure, and has an ego comparable to a Piplup. If you can get past all that, though, she's a loyal friend with a heart of gold, willing to put up with just about anything for her friends, if they're willing to put up with the fact that she can't keep a secret and get's jealous at times. She is also very much capable of enjoying some alone time, but is an extrovert at heart and is not satisfied with it for long.
History:
Bailey was born in a not so humble home in Central Godai to Carlotta and Jefferey Albertson, the name Albertson actually being Carlotta's surname, not Jefferey's. Jefferey's last name was Baxton, and he never really liked it, and was somewhat estranged from his family anyway. Jefferey Albertson was an esteemed lawyer, while Carlotta was a tutor in Godian State University In Central before retiring when her fifth child was born. She was the youngest of seven children, and thus was given the most attention... until number eight came when she was eight, but that didn't much matter. Bailey as a child was incredibly mischievous, and sneaky. She would cause all sorts of mischief, and somehow get her siblings in trouble for it. She was a complete menace, and was rarely reprimanded for it. As far as anyone know, Carlotta was their sweet little angel that could do no wrong.
At the age of five, she started going to school and would get her fellow students into trouble as well. She would start fights, but somehow something would be broken, or someone would've hit her, which was all it took for her to turn on the water works, and boom! Worked every time. After all, who could punish a poor little five year old girl who was crying? Surely she was the victim in all this.
She didn't really get any better when she turned seven. She went from a menace to a straight up bully that none of the teachers could really control. The reason for this was, of course, her parents simply wouldn't believe them. Even with concrete evidence, Carlotta and Jefferey simply couldn't imagine their little girl could do something so horrible. Eventually the head of the school threatened to expel their daughter if they didn't find a way to straighten her out. Her father was ready to take this to court until the unthinkable happened.
However, while this was happening, Carlotta II was starting to realize that she wasn't really making any friends. She hadn't really realized it before, but now she kind of wanted to have friends around and play with her. This, of course, was when students were starting to catch on to her behavior and recognize it as bullying, so no one really wanted to pay her any mind. Making things even more complicated, not one month later, Carlotta II found out she was getting a baby brother, so now she was going to have to be more responsible. All of this culminated into the unthinkable, something that everyone thought would be impossible: Carlotta II confessed. She did not think she was being a bully, but when people started to avoid her that was kind of how she recognized it as.
Recognizing this, Carlotta II apologized sincerely, and was punished by being suspended for a month, meaning she would have to make up for it with one month of summer school. The Albertson's thought that this was fair, though for obvious reasons Carlotta II didn't expect the punishment to be so harsh, and the family took this time to get to the bottom of her behavior. They discovered the sneaky tactics Carlotta II would take to deceive her parents into thinking their other children were becoming naughty when in fact it was her all along. This caused the parents to believe they'd been too lenient on Carlotta II and start becoming more strict.
More expectations were put on her, she was being watched with a stern eye, and there wasn't as much trust in her as there was before. The first few months after this were miserable. Old habits were hard to break, and Carlotta II would be caught trying her old tactics again, but she would be swiftly punished for it. Finally, after being gone from school for a month wouldn't be enough to take away the sour feelings the class had for her. She would have to earn their trust, and though she was only seven, thus doesn't quite remember how she did it, eventually through hard work she managed to get just that. The incident ended and she was never expelled.
However, as always with growing up, things didn't get any easier. Carlotta II still had to go to summer school for that month, and before that happened her baby brother, Jeremy, was born. If her parents were strict before, it became even worse. Carlotta II wasn't allowed to stray from the line at all as far as she was concerned. She was not allowed across the street, not allowed to visit anyone's house, she was just meant to go to school like a good girl without complaining, on top of helping take care of little Jeremy. To say the very least, Carlotta II was having a bit of a strained relationship with her parents from that moment on.
She went from being their perfect little angel that could do no wrong to their little imp who could do no right. The funny thing was was that reality had kind of reversed at this point, though perhaps she was not exactly an angel. She was trying her very best to meet their expectations, but nothing was ever good enough for them it seemed. They told her she would "make it up" when she graduated and became a doctor. At first, she was okay with these terms, but then again she was only eight. She didn't know what the rest of her life had in store for her.
When she was ten, she asked her mother if she could see a Contest for the first time. Of course, her parents said no because apparently her grades weren't good enough because she had one C in them. However, she was determined to go, and convinced a friend of hers to help her sneak into one and see for herself. There she witnessed a Contest beyond her wildest dreams! It all came down to two Pokemon, a Milotic and a Bellosom. Up until this point of the contest, the audience were practically blown away by the pure beauty these two Pokemon. Particularly the Milotic simply took the lead from the start. After all, how could a little flower hula dancer compete with a giant, lovely water serpent? Carlotta II's vote was totally for Milotic.
To Carlotta II's absolute shock, the Bellossom turned the tables with a simple Giga Drain attack, gaining itself four extra points to boot and claiming victory against the Milotic. One of the judges voiced their congratulations, claiming that "It may not have been a battle, but this performance would not have been possible without your knowledge of the move that can only be learned through battling side by side with your Pokemon. This victory was well earned, well done". This made Carlotta II not only take interest in the world of Pokemon Contests, but Pokemon battles as well.
Of course, upon coming home, Carlotta II was grounded for a month, and had even more privileges taken away from her, but this made her even more determined. At the age of thirteen, she wanted to run off, claim her license, and start her Pokemon journey, but as far as her parents were concerned that was out of the question. Being a doctor involved Chansey or Audino, in some cases, sure, but battling? Performing in contests? It was simply out of the question as far as her parents were concerned. This was where Carlotta II, now stubbornly referring to herself as Bailey, began her rebellious streak.
For the next several weeks, Bailey would sneak out to watch official Contests and Pokemon Gym Battles whenever and wherever she could. Of course, her parents caught wind of all of this, but at this point she could not possibly care any less about what her parents thought. She watched various techniques, was inspired by how creative or powerful each move was. She found herself having trouble deciding which one was better, contest performances, or gym battles. One made the Pokemon stronger, the other made the Pokemon beautiful. Just the beginning of that year, the answer would so obviously be contests, but now she wasn't so sure.
As she continued to think about it, she even saw how competing in both would benefit both competitions. How could making a Pokemon's moves stronger not make the move look better? How could move combos not create an element of surprise for battles? These were things she was thinking the night before her fifteenth birthday. This was the night she firmly decided she would tackle both. She would use these two professions to mold herself into the ultimate Pokemon Trainer.
Early that very dawn, Bailey slipped out of the house, noticed only by her brother Jeremy, who was still very much fast asleep. She reassured him that she would be back very soon, and he fell back a sleep as she gave him a kiss on the forehead. When she came back, she would have a Pokemon for him to play with. After that, the teen slipped out of the house heading for the very university her mother retired from, intending to receive a Starter Pokemon, and finally head out on her own.
Independence was in her grasp, and Bailey Albertson would find out for herself who she was.
