Description

I'm actually quite pleased with how this turned out =3 Though some of the extra things, like the boot close-up and whatnot, were rather rushed xD I spent the most time on the full-body and the shaded close-up of her earrings.

This is the character I'm going to be using in the *PCBC. I was going to use Rui, but I caved and just used the character who's essentially my self-insertion because, well, she has a Flygon lD;

Note, I'll probably make another sheet of different outfits seeing I know a lot of people who hate camouflage xD Also, I'm hoping to get full refs done for her Pokemon but we'll have to see.

Textures used are from [link] and [link]
Character and artwork (c) myself.
Pokemon (c) Gamefreak, Nintendo, ect. ect.

G E N E R A L
Full Name: Katelynn Marie Ladne
Nickname(s)/Alias(es): Ayra Calaenlen, Kate, Kate, Katie, K
Age: Sixteen
DOB: 26 July 1993
Height: 5'1.5"
Hometown: Goldenrod City, Johto
Family: Has one younger brother. Parents are divorced, though she and her sibling lives with her dad and his girlfriend.

Build: Rather average. Gets a range of comments on what it is exactly, though most commonly referred to as "curvy".


P E R S O N A L I T Y
Typically a cheerful girl, Kat is fond of making new friends and normally tries to please everyone, a feat that is unfortunately neigh on impossible. However, though she is rather over-trusting when making new friends, in some regard anyway, getting back into her heart after having harmed her in some way is much harder, and chances are it probably won't happen for a long while depending on the offense. She has a rather obvious love for fantasy, and definitely doesn't bother to try and hide her love for the cultures of the elves from the Lord of the Rings series.

Generally trying to be as kind as possible, Katelynn really is more of the type to give people more of a little push in the right direction then hard criticism, though there are some instances where people just push her a bit too far, like if someone makes the mistake of directly insulting a close friend. She also seems to prefer a support position much more than a leader position in most things, unless the position is basically thrown on her shoulders to take care of.

However, though the name is quite true, she seems to take some offense in being called a 'tree-hugger', at least, if it is meant to be offensive. Though she does make fun of herself with the name on occasion, most of the time she really doesn't enjoy others calling her by such a term and gets rather annoyed if they do so. She also tends to be a bit sensitive about her height, thus has taken to wearing shoes with higher soles, and it has come to be a bit of a joke amongst her friends that she's normally the shortest one out of the group. Generally, she becomes quite happy when she gets to know someone her age, or older, that's shorter.

Though, despite her normally cheerful disposition, she doesn't seem to take compliments well. She's rather prone to just blush and deny whatever the compliment happens to be, be it on her drawings or whatever else she happens to be doing. She thinks there are plenty of others out there that are better than her, and thus, she isn't exactly 'deserving' of such a compliment.

Though, in recent years, she has come out of her shell a fair bit. While she still tends to be a bit shy around people she doesn't know, she's far more likely to show the type of fun-loving person she is. She enjoys to sing under her breath, and, if she's prodded enough -- or blackmailed by taking something she may be eating or working on and refusing to give it back -- she tends to be willing to up her volume a bit. Really, as long as there's some variety of support, she does tend to be rather outgoing.

However, one thing she tries to avoid when at all possible is swearing, or any sort of talk that would be considered "inappropriate" to come from a woman by most standards. While she may occasionally slip, it tends to be a minor word unless she happens to be particularly enraged. And while her general reluctance towards participating in "dirtier" conversation may imply she's a bit naive on the matter, catch her off guard and it shows that that is really not the case.

While she's not particularly big on battling, that doesn't prevent her from doing it. Though, instead of the hard-core battling style many trainers adopt, she tends to take advantage of her experience in coordinating, thus is well-known for using a variety of combos that show off her Pokemon as much as doing damage.

Likes: Drawing, writing, chatting online, web design, roleplaying, hanging out with friends, singing, swimming.

Dislikes: Spiders [yet she doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by Spinarak or Ariados for whatever reason], people who act like idiots constantly

Fears: Has an extreme fear of tornadoes. While she tends to be alright in a thunderstorm, as soon as the warning siren goes off good luck finding her outside of some protective cover.

Reason for participating: Primarily due to some persuasion from her friend, Andi, though she nevertheless aims to primarily have fun and enjoy herself.

Quirks:
--- Says things like "yins" and "gals", and also has a tendency to pronounce words strangely.
--- Stutters when she talks too fast.
--- May occasionally say something in one of Tolkien's elf languages, though tends to comment that her more advanced knowledge of it has been "overwritten" thanks to the fact she's taking Spanish in school.
--- Will talk to her Pokemon as if she understands what they're saying, though that is almost never the case.
--- Often plays songs on her iPod out loud while battling, which is something that carries over from her contest strategies. Therefore, every battle she's in has a sort of "theme song".


H I S T O R Y
Katelynn grew up in Goldenrod City since the time she was born, though it was obvious from an early age that she enjoyed spending time with Pokemon. She was the eldest of two siblings, and tended to be more adventurous than her brother when it came to encountering wild Pokemon, thus it could be expected she sought to be a trainer, and later a coordinator, soon after she turned eleven.

However, during her ninth year in school, her parents divorced, and eventually she and her brother went to live with her dad and his girlfriend, where she transferred to a new school in another district of Goldenrod. There, she met one of her closest friend, Andi, where they hit it off almost immediately after the other girl discovered that Katelynn too enjoyed to draw.

While she had been primarily involved in her studies, Katelynn had officially taken up training on the side, saving up her own money to purchase supplies and, eventually, she bought her starter off of a merchant rather than receiving it from the lab: a female Vulpix she named Iavas. After that, her team only continued to grow as she and Iavas battled wild Pokemon they encountered around the city and also when their family went out of town.

While she did succeed in gaining a few ribbons, Katelynn couldn't really pursue training full-time until she graduated highschool, thus, when the second PCBC was announced during the middle of her juniour year, it took very little prodding on Andi's part to get her to join.

After all, even though she'd be away for a while, there was always cyber school.


C O M P A N I O N
Rana the female Drifloon
Is pale blue in colour. Name means "wanderer" in Sindarin Elvish.
Ability: Aftermath
Hold Item: Pending.
Attacks: Ominous Wind, Shadow Ball, Hypnosis, Dream Eater
Brief Personality: While of a calm nature, Rana, unfortunately, has a lot of stress in her life due to the fact people either drag her off thinking she's a balloon [she's not purple like a Drifloon after all!], or she gets blown away. Thus, Katelynn needs to chase after her quite often.

Please note, Rana will not battle. She is officially Katelynn's squishbuddy and mascot. She makes for a very comfy pillow as well.


C U R R E N T _ P A R T Y
Spirit the female Flygon Ref [link]
Primarily white with sky blue eyes and accents which is believed to have been inherited from an Altaria father. Has Egyptian-styled jewelry.
Ability: Levitate - Ground-attacks have no effect, takes no damage from Spikes, Arena Trap has no effect.
Hold Item: Dawn Stone - Embedded in her collar. Primary use is to attract judges in contests as it has a natural shine.
Attacks: Silver Wind, Fly, Dragonbreath, Aerial Ace
Brief Personality: Fun-loving and caring, Spirit adores flying and will do almost anything to take her trainer or someone else for a ride. However, she does have a tendency to dive and twirl in the air, which also tends to make the rider a bit sick. While she's not focused on romance, she has been known to flirt a bit with attractive male dragons.

Iavas the female Ninetales
A fairly normal Ninetales. Name means "Autumn" in Quenya Elvish.
Ability: Flash Fire - not affected by Fire-type moves, Iavas' Fire-type moves may do more damage.
Hold Item: Destiny Knot - worn around neck. If Iavas becomes infatuated, so will her opponent.
Attacks: Will-o-wisp, Fire Spin, Confuse Ray, Faint Attack
Brief Personality: Iavas tends to be rather curious, and does enjoy to investigate new things. However, she tends to get somewhat exasperated at some of her trainer's actions, which has made the eye-roll one of her signature gestures.

Caranthir the male Arcanine
A fairly normal Arcanine.
Ability: Intimidate - Upon entering battle, lowers opponent's attack
Hold Item: n/a
Attacks: Fire Fang, Extremespeed, Flamethrower, Body Slam
Brief Personality: Very protective, though has a few random fears that intrude a bit on the intimidating persona he tries to show, some of which include cars, roads, insects (doesn't get along well with Ciri for this reason), enclosed spaces, water, and thunderstorms. Has a bit of an attraction for Iavas.

Cemina the female Marowak
A fairly normal Marowak. Name means "earthen" in Quenya Elvish.
Ability: Rock Head - Will not receive recoil damage.
Hold Item: Thick Club - used as well as her generic club, meaning she's skilled in wielding dual "weapons". Doubles her attack power.
Attacks: Bone Rush, Headbutt, Ice Beam, Rock Slide
Brief Personality: A high strung warrior, Cemina tends to think only her way is the right way, and her way tends to involve battling. She's Katelynn's main fighter, and also tends to be rather aggressive in terms of being social as well.

Sae the female Arbok
A fairly normal Arbok, though her hood pattern is characteristic of an Arbok originating from Johto (see a G/S/C sprite). Name means "poison" in Sindarin Elvish.
Ability: Shed Skin - Has a chance of healing from a status condition.
Hold Item: n/a
Attacks: Toxic, Thunder Fang, Crunch, Wrap
Brief Personality: While she and her battling style may appear threatening, Sae is, in reality, a sweetheart that would love to cuddle everyone and anyone she sees. Unfortunately, due to the fact she's a giant snake, she normally doesn't get the chance, as she doesn't really have a very "cuddly" appearance. When not battling, she tends to enjoy trying to drape herself on her trainer's shoulders, which generally causes her to collapse under the weight.

Cirisse (Ciri) the female Scyther
A fairly normal Scyther, though she has a noticeably thin and feminine appearance. Name means "slash" in Quenya Elvish.
Ability: Swarm - Bug power is increased when HP is low.
Hold Item: Silver Powder - worn on her wings, and as a result they have a slight shine to them. Increases the power of bug-type moves.
Attacks: X-Scissor, Double Team, Night Slash, Razor Wind
Brief Personality: Another one of Katelynn's main fighters, Ciri seems to adore the thrill of battle, which has allowed her and Cemina to become rather close "friends". She tends to be charismatic and mildly seductive in her ways, though she has also been known for a few cheaper moves in battle.


P C _ P O K E M O N
Aearon (Aear) the male Lapras
A fairly normal Lapras. Name means "ocean" in Sindarin Elvish.
Ability: Water Absorb - The Pokemon heals itself when hit by water-type moves, therefore not taking any damage from water element attacks.
Hold Item: Mystic Water - embedded in a collar around his neck.
Attacks: Psychic, Ice Beam, Sing, Water Pulse
Brief Personality: His full personality will be revealed should he be used.

Coire the male Altaria
A fairly normal Altaria. Name means "awakening" in Quenya Elvish.

Brief Personality: His full personality will be revealed should he be used.
