Trainer Profile
Character Name: Finny Taru
Nickname: Fifi
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Trainer Class: (Fox) Pokemon trainer, aspiring contest go-er.
Height: 4'7"
Weight: 83 lb
Hair Color & Style: Finny has a somewhat shorter hairstyle that ends in a slight curl pointing forward. Her hair is naturally dark brown, almost black. When not regularly cut, her hair will grow out to be more wavy, to prevent this she tends to visit a barber regularly and takes great care of her hair. Her hair is also rather thin, and sometimes hard to work with, for example even if she wanted, she would had a hard time putting in a ponytail and this wouldn't look great at all.
Eyes: Her eyes stand out thanks to a light brown almost almondy color. Averagely spoken her eyes, especially her irises are a bit on the big side. When in good spirits her eyes are sparkling from enthusiasm, once you get to know her a little you would be able to tell what is going on in her head just by looking at her expressive eyes. Her eyes are like a reflection of her mood. She has rather thick eyebrows and when sleepy her irises are much smaller and it would be very hard for her to keep her eyes open.
Clothing/Accessories:
Finny has a very defined clothing style which she mostly makes herself. Her style is defined with a lot of small details like flowers and bows. She likes using them and might sometimes go over the top, as she was never allowed to do this, so when she gets the chance her outfits especially the accessories might be just a little over the top.
Her most used color are lightly toned lavender along with light lime green. This combined with a lot of white and creamy colors. Finny doesn't want to stand out so wouldn't use lots of pinks or reds.
Her usual attire consists out of a lavender colored shirt with a white frilly collar. Which is also at the end of the sleeves. The opening of the shirt has a lime green bow on it and under this she wears a white skirt and a pair of light green long stocking under it, along with a pair of white style shoes.
Whenever it gets slightly cold she is seen wearing a big lavender coat with a Mareepwoolen inside and borders. Along with a pair of grey trousers and a self knitted scarf. These self knitted scarfs vary from color, depending what colors are available and how she is feeling, she mostly goes for natural colours and she still hopes to find a shiny mareep sometimes, and use a tiny bit of their wool to make a new scarf.
General Appearance:
Finny is a somewhat short and slim young build teen with a rather gentle look on her face. Her almost almondy eyes really jump out and make it very easy to read her emotion. When excited her eyes would sparkle and this sparkle would be absent and her look would be more gloomy when sad.
Her face stands out because of a natural blush on her cheeks. Her small build makes her look a little younger than she is and her hairstyle and clothes are not really helping. Even though she is almost 15 she is mostly thought to be 12 to her disliking, she thinks this is due to her face looking rather young, and her body being pretty small for her age.
Finny has scoliosis which slightly curves her spine also affecting her posture. And making her limp a little. Her head will mostly be aimed to the ground in public, of course sometimes looking if she is not walking into a pole or something like that, which occasionally happens.
When you would glance at Finny, you would probably be able to tell she is a very shy girl. Mostly by the way she is looking at her feet, and general lack of confidence in her posture. You would also see her eye for detail. When interacting with Pokemon, you would see the amount she cares about them and see a much different girl, who forgot about the world around her and maybe those are her happiest moments.
Hometown: Oraclair town - North Godai
Personality:
Finny is a rather shy and introverted young girl with a very low self image. who at first glance seems very distant and maybe even a little rude, trying to end conversations with as few words as possible and avoiding crowded places one might call her a sociophobe, and nothing is less true. Due to not having met a lot of people in her life and hearing a lot of bad things about them she gets anxious meeting them and panics. Her memories of humans are mostly bad. She thinks that they are selfish and very judgmental, hating to be judged she creates a million images in her head, how things will go and this will cause a lot of panic.
Other than her shy sides Finny is actually a very caring girl who would never leave human or Pokemon in panic even though she could be very afraid. This is because she had not known a lot of love in the past, and doesn't want others to feel like how she did, even if it means stepping out of the shadows.
Being a very intelligent young girl she might sometimes even be seen as a little snobby. But in fact she is just really curious and loves to gain knowledge over the many wonders of the world. Loving to study and going to school she is sad she could never finish this and hope to one day maybe finish this.
Even though she is very cautious, Finny is easily convincible as she does not know a lot about the world and is easy in believing stuff. Making her an easy target for those with out any good plans for her well being. Finny can be a bit too trusting if you offer her gold mountains, or promised treasures.
When with her Pokemon she is probably one of the kindest owners they could want. Shed give up her food to feed her Pokemon and cares about them more then she does about herself. Once she starts bonding with them it be hard to let them go.
Finny loves cooking and is pretty good at it. She also loves making clothes and will make all her clothes herself and sometimes even for her Pokemon. She is someone who likes making things and is a very creative person. She mostly loves the fact that she can make others smile through these arts and would go all out cooking dinners for people she likes.
One of her weird traits is Being a major sweet tooth whom you certainly could wake up for a good slice of chocolate cake or sweets. Whenever she had a bit too big of a dose of sweets she will get slightly hyper like a sugar rush, her sugar tolerance isn't really big so just a small amount would keep her up for a night bouncing up and about the house.
Another weird trait is being a slight sleepyhead and that she could sleep for 12 hours straight if not woken up. Warning, if woken up she can be quite panicky and grumpy because of her deep deep sleeps. threat with caution!
She is also very sensitive to cold and would wear a ridiculous amount of clothes when she would have to venture into somewhat colder areas. This is caused by being slightly underweight, a somewhat weird diet and just a natural lower tolerance.
Chasing her dreams is a major accomplishment for her. Even with all her fears she wants to visit many beautiful places and maybe make some friends along with catching more Pokemon and maybe even getting the guts to join a contest or maybe try a gym battle. Mostly she wants to develop herself to become a stronger person that she but also her parents can become proud of though she fears the latter will never happen. Even though she is looking for accepting words from her parents, she wouldn't be disappointed if they would disapprove or try to get her home from her journey, knowing them they would do anything to make her life more miserable and she will do anything to follow her dreams.
History:
In 186 AG. Finny was born along with her twin sister Farah Born only 6 minutes later and they were almost identical though Finny her eyes were much lighter. Even though from the early ages her parents who were a pretty rich family seemed to like Farah more. Whenever something happened it had always been Finny her fault and she would be blamed for this. This made her feel bad and She slowly developed a low self image.
Possibly unknowingly her parents had always put Farah at their first place. She would get nicer clothes. A bigger room and more of everything since her early years Finny had always felt she was of to less worth to her parents. All of this made her feel like she never could be who her sister was or her parents wanted her to be. This had been a big impact on Finny emotionally. She had always seen it as her being not special enough for attention, and this made her dislike herself and try harder to become who her parents wanted to be. But even if she tried that, she was never accepted which caused her to get only more self doubt.
Once she was old enough school started, and together with her sister they started their primary schools. Finny had really hoped to meet new people and find some friends but like always her sister would get the spotlights. Leaving Finny in the shades. Being the first out of the class to not get bullied or yelled at she would escape school and go to the local library and spend her afternoons reading about the world. She did awesome in school and had way better grades then her sister but was only seen as nerd or bookworm. This actually hurt Finny a lot. The more people began judging her and forming opinions of her, and even bully her she grew to be more and more distant. She acted and felt as the outside world was not something made for her. Thus she began to delve into things to escape reality.
Her pretentious sister Farah, who like her parents seemed to dislike her had always made Finny wonder what she did wrong and why she was disliked, and up to today she still doesn't know. Sometimes Finny wonders if she ever will find out if they had legitimate reasons or maybe did not want two kids at all. Her sister from young age would do naughty things, and then put the blame on Finny. For example at 4 years of age, she would raid the cookie jar, and blame Finny for it, who would ofcourse get the blame. Things like this continued all her life, Farah seemed to not care much about her sister. This went to an extent where she would call Finny a nuisance or worse. This might have been the biggest cause to Finny her self doubts and self image she had developed over the course of the years.
Her childhood had a big impact on Finny. At first she tried to fight whenever Farah would shift blame to her, or whenever something had happened again but after a while she gave up. Her self imaged had grown to be one where she just disliked herself, thought she was a failure and was just having to live a life where she was blamed. She had her dreams, and wanted change but deep inside she knew that she couldn't pass her sister. Nor did she have the courage to stand up, not that her parents would believe her. She still regrets that she never one day stood up and exploded. Told them the truth and how much she was being destroyed by her parents. Even though she knows that they wouldn't change it is still something she wants to tell them one day.
She was the odd one out, and until her 12th life was quite okay. She escaped from her world by reading about Pokemon. Reading about the world and its history she became absorbed by them. She wanted to train Pokemon. She learned everything she could and would often dream about her own journeys she loved most Pokemon. The ones intriguing her mostly were fox Pokemon elegant and intelligent. Smart and strong but also caring. All she really wanted to be and be seen as. She had learned about foxes, and fox pokemon from various books and legends and the myths that were around about foxes. Even just there elegant looks peaked her. It was like foxes dared a lot of things she didn't and she admired them for it.
Her Love for foxes had a few reasons, when she was at the library in her childhood she was always looking in picture books reading up on mythology. To her liking foxes were maybe one of the most free animal species. They did not care about others opinions, they were not shy like her. They became a reflection of what she wanted to be, and thus slowly but steadily they became an obsession. She had dreams of joining contests and raising just fox Pokemon. Because maybe that was just what she wanted to be. She wanted to lose all her traits that made her who she was, because everyone disliked her.
When she graduated primary school her parents summoned her. They told her they would only want one of their kids to continue with schooling. Even though she had better grades Finny was the unlucky one who couldn't continue was to go in training to be a great housewife. Learning to cook and sew as well as a lot of other stuff. Her futile tries of asking if she could travel and be a Pokemon trainer were denied and she was expected to be trained by their house maids. She knew that it was probably a no, but couldn't resist asking even if it ended up in a lot of scolding and fights afterward. She had to try and push her luck. It was hard and unsuccessful but she felt proud she stood up for herself and her dreams. Though the feeling of proudness was overruled by sadness. She was sad that she was not able to follow her greatest dreams and live a life she had really wanted.
Next day training started and what she expected to be horrible was actually very fun. For the first time in her life she was getting love and attention. She had a great time learning how to cook and even how to make clothes. She had a great time making her own outfits, even though her parents never agreed with her choice of clothes. By now she was kind of used to her parents rejection of her being herself. Before this had always hurt her and it still did, but instead of silently sobbing on her room she just let it go. Slowly accepting the fact that she would never get accepted, that she would never be perfect. Finny knew she wasn't able to be the daughter that her parents had in mind and wanted, this was because they already had one like that.
When she was starting to be with their house maid she wasn't chasing her dreams but for the first time in her life felt appreciated. She would receive the smiles, love and care she had never received. The compliments and even hugs, these moments were maybe one of her best memories and she would always cherish them. they probably even gave back some of finny her trust in others. Though this didn't last long. After 2 years her maid fell sick and would not get better. Extremely saddened by this news Finny would retreat to her rooms, declining any task there was for her. Only going out to see her maid. One day when visiting her Maid, Finny found out that the maid had sent a letter to a professor explaining Finny her situation. The maid was pretending to be her mom. Kind of shocked, but also quite happy and excited Finny carried this little secret for the remainder of her time home.
Things slowly went downhill and her maid slowly fell worse. Before she passed away, Finny had gotten some time to say goodbye. After a good few hours the maid gave her the letter from the professor that she had been accepted and could come to pick her pokemon. Over the moon by this news, but also sad that she knew this was the last time she would see her maid, Finny had left the room and went to prepare for her escape, she knew that once a new maid be hired it would be hard to get away.
That night she ran away from home packing her stuff, needed for her survival, some money and of course the letter from the professor. she then hurried off to get her Pokemon. She knew she probably would never be missed at home and would not miss home. She also knew that they would probably try and find her, maybe chase her, but Finny had gotten a chance on the life she wanted and was going to chase this. Parents or not, sister or not, Finny was going to be a pokemon trainer. She was going to catch all fox Pokemon that inspired her so much to try and be who she wanted to be and go on journeys.
For the first time in her life, it was time to start living. Time to start being who she wanted to be.
