Hotaru
Female / 16 / Trainer
Female / 16 / Trainer
Personality: Hotaru is a very excitable trainer. She's got more energy than she knows what to do with and loves traveling. Fun-loving and enthusiastic about battle, she enjoys collecting badges, though has never completed a set from any region (she gets bored with a region and moves on too quickly). She refuses to back down from any challenge, battle or otherwise. If asked what her favorite hobby is she would say "Trying new things!" She's quite the tomboy and hates it when people judge her based on her gender.
Backstory: Hotaru was born in Sinnoh where her father was an electrician for Valley Windworks near Floaroma Town. He used his luxray to teach her about battling, much to her mother's dismay. Her mother felt that battling was brutal and did not want Hotaru to participate. This idea was squashed when her father got her an axew from Unova for her eleventh birthday, without talking to her mother, first.
She and Icarus were inseparable, and they trained every day. Finally at thirteen her mother realized how serious they were about becoming trainers, and with no small amount of pleading and begging from both Hotaru and her father (who appeared to be living vicariously through her), allowed her to start traveling. Since she already knew most of Sinnoh, she decided to travel to other regions, first. She is always sure to write home about her travels, and tries to visit at least once every few months.
Appearance: Hotaru is fairly short, standing at about 5' 4". She generally wears a baggy black sweatshirt and camo-print cargo pants. She always keeps her long black hair tied back in a ponytail.
Pokémon:
Icarus
Fraxure / Male
Icarus reflects his trainer's personality very well. He loves having fun and playing around, though usually knows when to quit before Hotaru. While battling, however, he is much more serious than Hotaru and will give it his all. He absolutely adores his trainer and would do anything for her. He often has a hard time keeping up with her boundless energy, but hopes that changes when he evolves.
