Trainer Profile
Character Name: Bree Miliken
Nickname: “That Weird Bug Girl”
Gender: Fem
Age: 26
Trainer Class: Bug Maniac
Height: 5 foot 6 inches
Weight: 130 lbs
Hair Color & Style:
Naturally black, but dyed blue and usually in loose pigtails on either side of her head, going an inch and a half past her shoulders, with her bangs dropping in front of her eyes, sometimes obscuring her vision. When not in pigtails, she tends to have it in a regular ponytail or a loose bun, but rarely has it outside of one of these styles unless she’s going to bed, or it is a very formal event. Her hair is naturally straight which she is grateful for, not envying those she knew with curls.
Eyes:
Bree has round blue eyes then tend to be light up like a christmas tree at all times, doubly so when she’s talking about Bug pokemon, though they tend to be obscured by her thick glasses, which seem to hide her eyes with a swirl on the front of them(though they still work just fine, promise!). She has fairly thin eyebrows, which she makes sure to keep that way as they grow in thick naturally. Her eyelashes are naturally long, though she doesn’t get to flaunt it very often due to her thick spectacles.
Clothing/Accessories:
Bree has always been weird compared to most of the girls in her area, as she tends to wear a lot of plaid shirts to go with her weird glasses. Mainly button up tops, with a tank top beneath it, generally matching the color of the plaid top. To add to this, she tends to wear jean shorts; which she claims to be tough but flexible, which helps with running through the taller grass looking for her precious bug types.
On colder days, she switches it out for a super heavy, still plaid, coat, full length blue jeans and even snow pants, with thick mittens that sometimes makes holding a pokeball difficult, a thick blue scarf with pokeballs going across the front, and a toque that resembles a snom; a forign bug pokemon that she desperately wants(the hat a gift from her aunt, who had traveled abroad for the winter at one point). She bundles up this much, as long as it is below 0 Celcius, as she absolutely HATES the cold.
Her signature Accessory, is her glasses! She had them specially designed with the spiral when she was 16, as she thought they made her look more like a bug pokemon, though as she grew up she realized it was silly of her. She kept it that way though, whenever she got new glasses as she felt it was more her signature style at this point in her life. To add to this, she tends to wear a yellow bandana around her forehead, with the design of a beetle on the front, though that tends to be hidden by her bangs. She also has a number of piercings across her body, though the main ones most see are her ear piercings and a nose ring.
General Appearance:
Bree is a slim girl, with very little fat on her body. That being said, she doesn’t actually have much muscle on her body, being somewhere in the middle. She keeps lean through hiking through the woods, something she did growing up to look at wild Bug pokemon from a distance, sometimes to find a peaceful place to read during the day when she didn’t want to be near people.
Bree has a round, soft face, having lower cheekbones make her look as if she was in her mid teens, rather than her mid twenties. Because of this, she will often be mistaken for a child. When she gets frustrated over this, she will usually pout, and stomp her foot once, though she only acts this way in frustration when she’s treated like a child, ironically.
Besides that, Bree’s average body language is very open and welcoming, she stands tall and proud, willing to accept anything that buzzes her way. When either her, her bug pokemon, or her sister is insulted, she will get aggressive and attempt to swat at whoever said it, sometimes needing to be held back.
Despite this open, warm and sometimes aggressive side to her, she has an utter fear of anything spooky. Haunted houses, ghost type pokemon, mediums, all of it. She will freak out from them all, and either try and run or curl in on herself and shiver in fright. The only exception is Shedinja, which while still a Ghost Pokemon, she finds manageable as she knows what it truly is; a Bug pokemon! Still creeps her out though
Hometown: Kotoba City, East Godai
Personality:
Bree is an eccentric gal, who always has Bug pokemon on the brain. Among everything that she likes, Bug Pokemon is by far her favorite topic to discuss. She will interject into conversations if she hears mention of the word “Bug” even once, or even if she doesn’t know the context. She will go on rants about the ones she likes the most(Her favorite individual Bug being Nugget, though Nincada isn’t her favorite species), some misinterpretations when it comes to bug pokemon, how some Bug pokemon were caught so often that they become hard to find, and more. She LOVES bugs.
However, despite what many people who know of her think, she has other personality traits outside of interest to Bug pokemon! Whenever possible, she tries to make the people around her feel welcome and as comfortable as possible, even though her high energy will often make that difficult. While she likes to do nice things for others as well, she doesn’t tend to go out of her way to find help to give.
Bree tends to exude an energetic and free-spirited aura to her, as she has more energy than those half her age. She tends to be very bouncy, and has a hard time sitting still most of the time. She used to have a pen that she used exclusively for fiddling, but she ended up breaking it, over the course of two years of fiddling with it.
While during high school, she was more reserved, nowadays she will actively seek new people to talk to, and make new friends. During her college years, she had made sure to seek parties and other social gatherings. However, when she came out of her shell more, and due to wanting to make people feel comfortable, she is VERY susceptible to pier pressure, which has and will most likely prove to get her into a lot of trouble. She doesn't seem to realize that she's vulnerable to peer pressure, often more focused on please the other person in her midst, either with humor or by helping them. When she does notice, however, she often finds herself struggling to say no, with only a few cases where she can easily, that being hurting her Sister or her Pokemon, in that order of priority. When she does notice her being pressured, she genuinely hates it and vows to not let it happen again, though it always does and more often then she notices.
To top everything else off, the thing she likes more than even Bug Pokemon, is her little sister Ava. Bree often tries to give support to her sister, usually emotionally as her younger sister is much taller then her, though she has found herself more then once using her for the same. While Bree is eccentric in her mannerisms, Ava is more subdued outwardly so she often comes to her for a sense of emotional stability. On the flip side, Bree often tries to push Ava out of her comfort zone to help her try new things, sometimes to help the girl and other times just because Bree wants to try something, and wants to bring her best friend with her. The biggest reason, though, that her sister is her best friend, more then the stability, is that she doesn't feel judged. Her passion, her energy, to her it feels like she can fully be happy and herself without worrying what the other person thinks around Ava. She truly holds her little sister in high regard.
While Bug Pokemon are her primary focus, both as a hobby, and as a career path, she does let herself enjoy other things. Most hobbies of hers were founded during elementary and early secondary school, the big one being reading. Any and all books she could get her hands on she would read. While she read a lot of non-fiction about bugs, as she still loved them, she read even more fiction. Any book she absolutely loved, she would force Ava to read, to varying success. besides that, hiking was always something she enjoyed. She was never to into sports, though, never much for athleticism. While hiking, she would love to explore, which eventually developed into its own hobby, where she would often leave home to explore new parts of the city she lived in, and the surrounding area's. While in collage, and was more social(even if her fanaticism to bugs returned in full force) she still loved going to parties. She would often partake in, shall we say, HEAVY use of the social vices that came with the territory of youthful parties, some of which she feels an inching to try again regularly, but pushes away. After collage finished, most of the people she talked to regularly disappeared from her life, leaving her fairly alone, to pursue her career, though she hasn't had much extra human contact outside of family in a long time.
Besides her sister, Bree has only ever known three other family members. Her Father was a stay at home dad, and while she loves him dearly, after she grew past the age of ten, found him exceedingly clingy. And while some days she relied on it, most of the time she found it oppressive, and at worst would be the reason she would go for hikes out into the woods. Her mom has a desk job working for the Firebird company, making a good enough wage to be able to support the family. While she doesn't know much about her Aunt, she does know that she's a semi-successful trainer, with at least one badge, which is what gave her the idea for training her bugs to show off how cool they are. However, due to no solid connections outside her sister, she has clung to the less meaningful connections with others her age to fill the void.
History:
The earliest memory that Bree has, is when she saw her first bug pokemon. It was small, smaller then her even, and as a two year old that didn’t happen all the time. Her parents were nervous as she played with the wild Caterpie, but the pokemon didn’t seem to mind, maybe recognizing her as a child and not a threat? Maybe it, itself, was a child and was happy to have a friend? To this day, Bree doesn’t know, nor did her parents at the time, but what she does know is that the chance meeting was what sparked her love of the Bug Pokemon.
Whenever her dad would take her for walks near the Skytouch Forest, he would have to physically stop her from harassing wild Flabebe, which at the time she thought were bugs riding on flowers. The biggest trouble she got them into, was when she was three years old, she tried to pet an Araquanid that hadn’t seen her. Her dad had to grab her and run, and nearly ran for two miles straight, Bree laughing the entire time, while the massive bug chased them. They were lucky a passing trainer helped chase it away, or they may not have made it.
When her baby sister was born, nearly a year later, she was ecstatic. She had someone who she could show off all her cool books on Bug pokemon too! She even gave her sister her favorite stuffed animal, an oversized Caterpie that was nearly the size of the baby herself, to show how excited she was. She would sit by her crib, and read her stories about The Brave Little Surskit, and loved singing “The Itsy Bitsy Spinarak” which to this day, she claims she enjoyed but isn’t actually certain.
The day she entered elementary school, she was excited to meet other kids her age! Just like with her little sister, she was excited to meet other people that she could show how cool Bug pokemon is too! Unfortunately, though, unlike her sister who couldn’t say no, the other girls in her class not only didn’t like bug pokemon, calling them gross and weird, they would actively attack her for loving them so much. On average, she was just called “That weird bug girl” when people were talking about her, or if they ever needed to talk to her for an assignment.
Because of these mocking tones, however, she became more reserved. She had a couple friends through elementary school, a couple of boys had become her friend, but they only talked at school. Because of this, she grew up more alone then with friends, though that didn’t stop her from trying to make friends, it just failed 90% of the time.
There is one good thing that came out of everyone around her not liking Bug pokemon, though. She learned that nobody around her actually knew how many Bug pokemon worked, or what made them special! Heck, somebody didn’t know that their fancy clothes that they were happy were locally made, were MADE from the silk of some Bug pokemon! So, by the age of twelve, she decided what she wanted to do with her future. She wanted to make sure that she could teach people about Bug Pokemon up close, so they can learn how cool they are and in some cases, were necessary for the environment and for every day human life!
When she was thirteen, and had gotten her Trainer Licence while in school, her Aunt got her her first Pokemon! Since she was a professional trainer, she had the idea of getting her a Nincada as her first pokemon! While Nincada and Ninjask weren’t her favorite species, she was absolutely in love with her new pokemon! She named him Nugget, as he was her little Nugget. She went everywhere with him, took care of him, played with him, slept with him, they did everything together!
Being the first person in her class to get her own Pokemon in Secondary School, some people actually began to talk to her. Having grown up without many people to talk to, she didn’t want to chase new people away from being her friend, so to appease the new people, she would be excessively friendly, and try and refrain from talking too much about Bug pokemon(though completely not talking about them is impossible).
Secondary School was when she started getting in trouble with the school. In an attempt to not lose the new “friends” she made, she became far more susceptible to peer-pressure. She was often dared to do stupid things, like biting Lemons, climbing the sides of her school, or the one time she was almost expelled for attempting to pants a teacher. The one thing she always put her foot down on, though, was putting Nugget in danger. Of course, some of the people who wanted to be her “friend” left after, but she was ok with that.
Due to her fanaticism, and focusing on her schooling during her youth more than the average student, this snowballed through Secondary School and with her good grades, she was accepted into GSUC at the age of 20. She was ecstatic, that this was the first major step towards accomplishing her dream! She had a plan, too, that she developed in the 5th grade. Her goal is to create a bug Sanctuary from her personal collection, and for a fee will give people guides and have an entry fee, sort of like a Bug Zoo, but mainly focused on education and preservation then making a profit.
When planning her courses, she decided she wanted to study Bug pokemon, which was easy enough, but also took a minor in business which she hoped would help. When she needed to pick another, third course to finalize her scheduling, she decided on Pokemon Training. The idea was to raise awareness to the general public, she would fight the Gym Leaders, the Elites, and the Champion. Her hope was, if she could beat them, she could raise awareness for how cool bugs were, and hoping that people would want to learn more!
Graduating at the age of 24, when she was going to start her journey, she...didn’t. While she often states she was being patient, waiting for a better time, if she was honest she was scared. It was the final big stretch for her dream, and she feared failing her journey. By the time she hit 26, she decided that it was time. She could no longer wait, and she wasn’t getting any younger. So with a nervous smile on her face, a bag full of supplies, and a Pokeball full of Nugget, she set out to hunt down all the Bug type pokemon(And Bug-like pokemon) she could find to accomplish her goals.
