{Lucy’s Appearance}
Height: 5’5
Weight: 115 lbs
Hair Color & Style: Golden blonde hair flows freely from her shoulders and cascades down to the middle of her back with a few strands short enough to be bangs and long strands framing her delicate face. Her bright tresses are usually kept in a straight style, although sometimes they will end up curling at the bottoms on their own, a trait she does not always fix since it can look nice depending on the day.
For special occasions where she wants to dress up a bit nicer her hair will usually be curled and quite possibly even be in an elegant updo that she learned from her mother. On a usual day to day basis however, she will either wear it completely down or tie it up with a purple ribbon (something she does more often in the summer to keep herself cool during the days full of extreme heat), not spending as much time on it as some girls her age might since it isn’t too hard to maintain. The ribbon she wears has no significance to the young woman besides being cute and in her favorite color.
Eyes: Light brown, friendly orbs instantly greet anyone who lay their eyes upon her, embracing people with the same warmth as freshly made chocolate. Her hazel eyes are gentle and round, giving off a youthful aura, with long, black eyelashes encasing them. Above her eyes are well kept, trimmed eyebrows that are the same color as her golden hair. Due to her being a very expressive person, both her eyes and eyebrows tend to give away her emotions quicker than her words, with signs of elation, frustration, and sorrow being seen as clear as day through her features.
Clothing/Accessories: Although her attire varies depending on the situation, the blonde’s usual outfit consists of a purple crop top that stops just above her navel with white frill at the top and two white stripes across the light purple fabric, a black leather jacket with sleeves that cut off just after her elbows, black fingerless gloves, a black skirt that reaches from her hips to mid-thigh with a purple belt attached that she uses to keep her pokeballs on, and lastly, her shoes that consist of black combat boots with an inch of heel to them. Whenever she wears her hair up she uses a light purple bow to keep it in place, coordinating her outfit to match whenever possible. To keep her other belongings in one place the blonde carries around a purple, over the shoulder backpack.
During the summer months she will either wear her usual clothes but wrap the jacket around her waist or decide to change outfits and wear dresses or tank tops instead, with sandals or tennis shoes in place of her combat boots. She prefers to wear lighter colors when it comes to dresses, favoring whites and pinks as they are bright and bubbly hues. She might pair her tank tops with tan or white shorts, whatever color matches the shirt she wears (which will be either white, pink, blue, or purple). When the weather gets colder she prefers to keep wearing skirts in place of pants, not being as bothered by the cold as others are, but will typically wear tights to keep her legs from potentially getting cold. Over the skirt and, most likely black, top accompanying it, she will wear a very warm, red winter coat that has a hood attached. To keep her feet warm she covers them in ashen brown combat boots and carries around red gloves in case her fingers get cold. However, if she does ever get immensely bothered by the chill of winter she does keep two pairs of thick leggings in her backpack.
General Appearance: Lucy is a relatively average sized woman for her age. Slender with curves in all the right places and a bust that causes most people to look her way, otherwise without it she would generally go unnoticed despite the constant smile dancing across her lips. Being always cheery and bubbly causes an aura of happiness to exude from her presence as a result of her grinning face and energetic demeanor. Due to this kind of energy always surrounding her, she is never seen slouching, instead her back is straight and posture upright. She has found that sitting and standing that particular way has helped her back not hurt as much as it could from her chest size.
Having natural beauty from her parents means that this young lass hardly wears makeup, unless for special occasions or when she sees fit since she already has long eyelashes and rosy lips. Her love of jewelry helps atone for that as she can always be seen with either earrings or necklaces on, sometimes even both if she feels her outfit requires such. As well as adorning her outfits with accessories, she also tends to paint her nails to match or to keep up with festivities if certain holidays are approaching.
Despite almost always having a smile across her visage and a gleam in her eyes, Lucy is capable of feeling an array of other emotions as well, even though she’d prefer not to. Since she has empathy towards others she tends to be quick to tear up, crystalline drops form at the corners of her hazel orbs if she even so much as hears about an injured pokemon or person. Because of this she tends to look away whenever saddened, not wanting others to see her cry and not wanting to bring attention to herself. Whenever she is angered she tends to ball her fists, sometimes to the point of her fingernails cutting into her skin and drawing blood, and her brows will furrow the angrier she gets.
Another thing about Lucy that her parents shrugged off with a simple excuse when she was younger are the two small scars on either side of her waist, the spots where the Skorupi’s pinchers pierced her skin as a child. Not thinking her parents would ever lie to her, she believed them when they told her she was born with those marks, which are no bigger than a button and are as circular as a dot. Their reasoning is why she isn’t afraid to show off her torso and why her mind doesn’t register the confused looks on other’s faces whenever their eyes noticed the scars.

{Lucy's Story}
Hometown: Dianette, Central Godai
Personality: Lucy is a very kind-hearted and energetic young woman who loves pokémon and people alike. She is outgoing, willing to strike up a conversation with anyone around her, this causing her to quickly befriend those she meets as long as they are open to her kindness. Lucy rarely ever finds anyone she dislikes, however those who abuse or abandon their pokémon would fall under such a list. She is the type of girl that would blatantly walk right up to someone who was bullying their pokémon (or another person) and teach them a lesson, non-violently of course since she believes violence is never the answer. She'd most likely lecture their ears off, unless they became physical and tried to hurt her or her pokémon, then she would have to use the few self defense moves her father taught her in order to keep those she loves, and herself, safe. Her breaking point, however, is when anything gets harmed because of another creature, and this will cause her to jump into the fray to stop whatever is going on even if she ends up putting her own life at risk in the process. If she has to knock someone out in order to keep another out of harm’s way, she will try her hardest in order to do so.
Since she was raised as a sheltered child after the incident, Lucy is a naive and innocent person, believing without a doubt in her mind that everyone is inherently good. She will give people the benefit of the doubt and always think they mean well even if their intentions obviously do not. She is also quite oblivious to those who flirt or hit on her, thinking they are only wanting to be her friend since she has never had the opportunity to think about a relationship because of her upbringing. Lucy is also a little bit of a ditz when it comes to street smarts and common sense, tending to make simple mistakes because she overlooks the small stuff, but makes up for what she lacks there with her book knowledge. Whenever she does something dumb she tries to learn from it in order to never make the same mistake twice.
Another trait about the blonde that many may see as a negative is her empathy for others. She loves people and pokemon so much, to the point of being able to connect to their feelings and become affected by them as if they were her own. If someone is crying or in pain she too is often crying or in pain, and if someone is retelling a sad or traumatic experience, it isn’t shocking for her to cry at the thought of all the pain they went through during that experience.
One thing about herself that she cannot explain but tries to shrug off as a coincidence is the chill that tends to run down her spine whenever she sees a Skorupi, Drapion, or anything remotely similar to their pincers. Not wanting to believe she is afraid of any kind of pokemon, she forces herself to ignore the goosebumps that dot her skin and reasons to herself that she is just cold- even if it is during the summer without a breeze blowing by.
Despite the inexplicable feelings she has Lucy doesn’t let them stop her from living her life and attaining her dreams. She wants to be both a pokemon performer and gym battler, showing off how beautiful and strong her companions are as well as allowing them to decide which they would rather do (if they have a preference). During her confinement at home she would spend countless hours watching contests, in awe at how the trainers were able to bring out their friends’ personalities through their routines. When not glued to the videos of performances she was outside in her backyard with Apollo and her father learning how to battle and becoming prepared for her journey against the eight gym leaders. The little chicken pokemon, true to its nature, was fiery and loved to fight, showing off his strength and ability to protect his friend. Through those moments with her father she gained an appreciation for pokemon battles and learned that it’s okay for pokemon to fight with one another as long as they wanted to, putting her weary heart at ease and giving her the experience she needed as a trainer.
Another one of her goals is to travel to every single city in Godai and befriend all the pokemon and people she can during her time exploring, something she wasn’t allowed to do much of during her childhood. Even perhaps along the way she would meet people to accompany her, bonding with them like never before. This idea of hers stems from her desire for long lasting, heartfelt friendships that will carry on past the time she returns home, whenever that may be. Overall she just wants to be able to see the world as she has never been allowed to before, doing the things she couldn’t, and learning all sorts of stuff that the schools didn’t teach, such as life lessons that can only be taught through real world experience.
History: Growing up in Dianette with a typical childhood was how Lucy spent her young life; loving parents and protective brother. Her chestnut haired and forest eyed mother, Lila, is an herbalist for both pokémon and people, taking her partner Luxray on many outings into the forests and woods to harvest the ingredients needed to make potions and healing foods. Her coal haired and hazel eyed father, Orion, is a pokémon breeder, using his Chansey companion to help him care for the wild pokémon he nurses back to health and the eggs they find and warm until hatching, among other tasks. Through her parents she was taught how to care for and love pokémon, treating them as part of her family rather than tools for battling, and has shaped her view of both combat and capturing pokémon. Due to this Lucy would much rather befriend wild pokémon to add them to her team instead of beating them down to capture them, and their teachings are why she turns away from violence unless absolutely necessary. She was raised in a peaceful family that hardly ever fought or argued, and grew up believing that was how everyone should behave with one another, and especially not with senseless violence or yelling.
Her twin brother, Axel, grew up wanting to protect his younger sister ever since they were little, being only two minutes older than her shouldn’t have made him the way he is; however, when they were six years old Lucy was put into danger and he wasn’t able to save her. They were out playing in the forest when she spotted a hurt Skorupi and wanted to help it. The blue scorpion creature was incredibly frightened and distrusted them even though they were small, lashing out at them and injecting Lucy, who had bent down and tried to show it she was friendly, with its toxic poison before scurrying off further into the trees. Axel had panicked when his sister fell unconscious and rushed her back to their house where their mother was able to stabilize her, yet even with the proper medicinal treatment it took the golden haired child an entire night to fully recover, her tiny body in continuous fits of shivers induced by the poison until dawn. Their mother had tried to calm the raven haired boy, reassuring him that she knew Lucy would be okay and that the poison was slowly being defeated by the medicine, but his sapphire eyes held onto his doubt until the pale girl awoke without chills, not leaving her side for even a second until her hazel eyes opened and a smile danced across her lips.
It was only then, when her eyes fluttered alive, that she came to the realization that her mind was fuzzy and the memories from the night before were a blur. She could recall fragments of what happened during her fevered stupor; an agitated Skorupi in the forest and her brother carrying her home with sweat running down his reddened face, but the larger details were nothing more than flashes of color in her mind when she fully came to during sunrise. It was like she were a puzzle and the memories the missing pieces, no matter how hard she tried to remember, the only thoughts that came through felt wrong, as if she were making them up instead of recalling what happened. She knew they had been in the forest playing and knew they had seen a Skorupi, along with a Butterfree and Beautifly, but what happened next, in her mind, was that she had been carried by Axel to their house. It had been common for the boy to give her piggyback rides whenever she asked, so young Lucy pieced into the story that she had asked for one during their short trip back home and he had obliged, then she figured she had been so tired that she slept the rest of the day. Having always been an early riser, waking up at around dawn felt normal to the blonde, but the way her family was all gathered around her made her doubt what had really happened.
Her family, having decided it was best for her fragile heart to not know the truth, hid back their tears of relief when she saw them and pretended she had been incredibly exhausted from them playing the day before and gotten sick with a light fever that her mother treated easily, which had confirmed her own thoughts about the experience and made her believe her feelings were the only thing wrong about the situation. She had no reason to distrust what they told her besides a gut feeling that couldn’t be explained, so she believed them wholeheartedly and tried to move on with the memories she had put together in her mind, unknowing of the damage to the rest of the family or the secret they kept from her.
The next few years she would watch her mother work harder at creating antidotes and making sure the house was always fully stocked with every kind of herbal medicine they could ever need. She learned during this time how to make her own potions and medicinal treatments, becoming prepared for when she would embark on her pokemon journey in the near future. Lucy also learned from her father every sign of a frightened pokémon, how to handle pokémon who were wounded and weary of humans, and any other important information about wild pokémon that would help prevent any more injuries, although she still wasn’t aware of the real reason for his teachings she went along with it anyways because the advice was helpful. The last, most prominent change in her life after the incident was her twin hardly ever leaving her side and keeping her away from the forest whenever he could. He would use excuses to veer them towards a safer area such as the Imperial Plaza where their parents worked during the day whenever they weren’t at home, selling their homemade items or helping people learn more about the creatures they call their friends.
Being a curious person even as a youngster, Lucy had begun to wonder why they had changed so suddenly but trusted their decisions enough to not speak up even though the questions swelling inside of her kept growing. She thought maybe the two of them had just grown up enough to be taught more than they had been before by their parents, yet she couldn’t put her finger on why Axel had become more protective of her even though he was trying to be subtle about it. She didn’t entirely mind him being overbearing, thinking it was rather sweet of him to love her so much that he wanted to keep her safe.
When she got older she would think back to this time in her life and feel uneasy whenever she did, as if she was forgetting something important but could never place what it was. She also would find how her family acted to be strange and have no reason to justify why they would be acting differently, causing her to doubt herself more than them as time went on. Due to the golden haired woman being an obedient child she never brought up how she felt with her parents or brother, and eventually she subconsciously trained herself to believe her feelings regarding this memory were a figment of her imagination. However, something she hasn’t been able to explain is her reaction to scorpion pokemon or pincers. She used to flinch away from them as if she was scared they would hurt her despite knowing they wouldn’t, an unknowingly instinctive response from her trauma. As she has gotten older the reaction has dimmed in scale to be less flinching and being frightened, but it isn’t completely gone.
This kind of routine lasted until she was old enough to graduate from Elementary schooling and then venture out on her own as a trainer with her starter, Lucy choosing Torchic and Axel choosing Squirtle. Her twin, much to his own dismay, had to part ways when he decided to challenge the Pokémon League far sooner than she despite knowing she would still be safe in their town with their parents. Lucy, on the other hand, wanted to spend more of her time studying pokémon and learning about every single one that roamed their world through Secondary schooling. Her parents were even more overbearing when her brother left, and at times they were suffocating to deal with, but the blonde never went against their wishes. She knew their intentions were out of love for her and that knowledge helped her remain calm through all the years they kept her a little too close. It also helped that they would take her on many outings to the Imperial Plaza to sightsee or shop, since they trusted themselves to keep her safe while they were out and about.
School was a refreshing break from her home life and was something she loved to do. On top of being able to meet a lot of people or play with adorable pokemon, she learned many new things through all of the classes they gave. She was an ideal student, always being on top of her studies and getting the highest marks, something that she took pride in greatly for it showed that her efforts were paying off. Lucy got along well with her classmates and would hangout with the ones closest to her at her house. She kept in contact with them even after they left for their journeys, and hoped to run into them when she traveled all over Godai as well.
One of her proudest moments in school was when she, with a rather large nudge from Apollo, participated in the annual pokemon competition at the age of 17, where trainers and given pokemon were paired against one another in bracketed matches to test how well they understood the classes on battling. This put their learning to the ultimate test and helped demonstrate whether they were able to be flexible in their lives by using pokemon they weren’t accustomed to. She learned a lot by this experience and was grateful to have even gotten second place among so many contestants, and her family came to understand that she was far more prepared than they originally had thought. They loosened their tight hold on her a little bit, just enough for her to go on short walks with Apollo and enter the forest without them sending Luxray to keep guard over her. She loved the electric pokemon to death so she never minded when he accompanied her, sometimes even feeling a little off by his absence, and didn’t question why he had joined her to begin with, thinking her parents wanted him to get out of the house and spend time with her before she left for her journey. Since her brother wasn’t home she thought Luxray might get lonely without them there to play with him and wanted to make the most of their remaining time together.
Once she finished her secondary schooling at the age of 18 she finally decided to begin her own pokemon journey with Apollo. Her family didn’t have qualms about her leaving, confident in her abilities as a trainer after witnessing her prowess in battling for two years in a row and realizing she had enough experience to keep herself safe. She was thankful for their blessing to leave and excited to travel the world and make many new friends along the way. Ever since she had learned about all the things trainers could do and the pokemon she could meet she wanted to become one, and with her dreams in her grasp she was able to begin her own story in life.

He would use excuses to veer them towards a safer area such as the Imperial Plaza where their parents worked during the day whenever they weren’t at home, selling their homemade items or helping people learn more about the creatures they call their friends.
Being a curious person even as a youngster, Lucy had begun to wonder why they had changed so suddenly but trusted their decisions enough to not speak up even though the questions swelling inside of her kept growing. She thought maybe the two of them had just grown up enough to be taught more than they had been before by their parents, yet she couldn’t put her finger on why Axel had become more protective of her even though he was trying to be subtle about it. She didn’t entirely mind him being overbearing, thinking it was rather sweet of him to love her so much that he wanted to keep her safe.
When she got older she would think back to this time in her life and feel uneasy whenever she did, as if she was forgetting something important but could never place what it was. She also would find how her family acted to be strange and have no reason to justify why they would be acting differently, causing her to doubt herself more than them as time went on. Due to the golden haired woman being an obedient child she never brought up how she felt with her parents or brother, and eventually she subconsciously trained herself to believe her feelings regarding this memory were a figment of her imagination. However, something she hasn’t been able to explain is her reaction to scorpion pokemon or pincers. She used to flinch away from them as if she was scared they would hurt her despite knowing they wouldn’t, an unknowingly instinctive response from her trauma. As she has gotten older the reaction has dimmed in scale to be less flinching and being frightened, but it isn’t completely gone.
This kind of routine lasted until she was old enough to graduate from Elementary schooling and then venture out on her own as a trainer with her starter, Lucy choosing Torchic and Axel choosing Squirtle. Her twin, much to his own dismay, had to part ways when he decided to challenge the Pokémon League far sooner than she despite knowing she would still be safe in their town with their parents. Lucy, on the other hand, wanted to spend more of her time studying pokémon and learning about every single one that roamed their world through Secondary schooling. Her parents were even more overbearing when her brother left, and at times they were suffocating to deal with, but the blonde never went against their wishes. She knew their intentions were out of love for her and that knowledge helped her remain calm through all the years they kept her a little too close. It also helped that they would take her on many outings to the Imperial Plaza to sightsee or shop, since they trusted themselves to keep her safe while they were out and about.
School was a refreshing break from her home life and was something she loved to do. On top of being able to meet a lot of people or play with adorable pokemon, she learned many new things through all of the classes they gave. She was an ideal student, always being on top of her studies and getting the highest marks, something that she took pride in greatly for it showed that her efforts were paying off. Lucy got along well with her classmates and would hangout with the ones closest to her at her house. She kept in contact with them even after they left for their journeys, and hoped to run into them when she traveled all over Godai as well.
One of her proudest moments in school was when she, with a rather large nudge from Apollo, participated in the annual pokemon competition at the age of 17, where trainers and given pokemon were paired against one another in bracketed matches to test how well they understood the classes on battling. This put their learning to the ultimate test and helped demonstrate whether they were able to be flexible in their lives by using pokemon they weren’t accustomed to. She learned a lot by this experience and was grateful to have even gotten second place among so many contestants, and her family came to understand that she was far more prepared than they originally had thought. They loosened their tight hold on her a little bit, just enough for her to go on short walks with Apollo and enter the forest without them sending Luxray to keep guard over her. She loved the electric pokemon to death so she never minded when he accompanied her, sometimes even feeling a little off by his absence, and didn’t question why he had joined her to begin with, thinking her parents wanted him to get out of the house and spend time with her before she left for her journey. Since her brother wasn’t home she thought Luxray might get lonely without them there to play with him and wanted to make the most of their remaining time together.
Once she finished her secondary schooling at the age of 18 she finally decided to begin her own pokemon journey with Apollo. Her family didn’t have qualms about her leaving, confident in her abilities as a trainer after witnessing her prowess in battling for two years in a row and realizing she had enough experience to keep herself safe. She was thankful for their blessing to leave and excited to travel the world and make many new friends along the way. Ever since she had learned about all the things trainers could do and the pokemon she could meet she wanted to become one, and with her dreams in her grasp she was able to begin her own story in life.
