Tadaa ^^ [center][b]NAME:[/b] Esra Walker [b]AGE:[/b] 22 [b]GENDER:[/b] Female [b]HOMETOWN:[/b] Dewford Town (born) Lumiose City (currently living) [b]APPEARANCE:[/b] (Since my picture isn't working here for some reason I'd just add it as link. All credits go to the maker [url=http://anikakinka.deviantart.com/art/Kusa-268798395] ) Esra stands on a height of about 1,70m, making her not overly tall, but certainly not short either. She moves with a certain flair that conveys that she is absolutely certain of herself and doesn't need anyone's approval on what she is doing with her life. Growing up on a southern island has given Esra a love for summer clothing. She loves to wear shorts, short skirts, bikini's, and other light clothing like tops and loose shirts. A lot of layers make her feel smothered and annoy her though she likes wearing scarves occasionally. Her favorite colors are red and gold. Esra adores wearing jewelry and can never buy enough little trinkets. That would be where all her money would be going wouldn't she not need to spend it on rend and for her job. Her ears are pierced on 3 different spots (2 in her her earlobes and one in the upper part) and she has one piercing in her belly button. On her side she always wears a bag that holds her trustworthy camera and some extra lenses. When she is working on her job she tends to wear black gloves to avoid that her camera get dirty. [b]PERSONALITY:[/b] Esra is a confident person. Ever since she was little she had figured out her own opinions and she never let herself be distracted by the opinions of others While this might seem as a positive trait, which it of course in its own way is, it can also have a negative throwback. Esra has a hard time understanding opinions that she does not share though the life in the city has might this slightly less difficult. The city has so many people that disagree that somehow she has to adapt. Luckily her line of work doesn’t require much opinions from her besides the obvious. Her own passion is photography which she took up when she was fifteen. To some people it seems contrasting greatly with her energetic and uplifting spirit. She has seemingly unbound energy and seems always to be moving. Yet she is also extremely focused and can work tirelessly for hours on editing a single photo on her computer until it is absolutely perfect. Esra likes perfection and isn’t quickly pleased with her own work what other people may say. If she deems it not good enough then it is not good enough and she will either throw it out or redo it. Even though Esra seems like a people person, which she is to some extent, she can also do very well on her own, having been without many friends since the beginning of her life. She only has a small circle of really close friends and labels the other people acquaintances Among her good friends are, of course, her Pokemon. Esra chose her Pokemon with care as she wanted specific things of them Since she wanted to be able to get everywhere and photograph everything she carefully selected the Pokemons that could help her with this. A Flygon for exploring the sky, a Swampert for exploring the ocean, a Chandelure to find ghosts hidden in dark places and so on. Even though her Pokemon were selected she cares much for them and hardly goes anywhere without them. [b]HISTORY:[/b] Esra was born in the small island village Dewford Town where she grew up as an only child with two loving parents. They had a simple house in the simple village and did simple work. Esra's father was a fishterman, who every day set out on the sea with his Swampert to make money. Her mother was a housewife who took joy in taking care of the lovely garden they had behind the house. Because Dewford Town was so small there weren't many children of her age around and most of the time Esra was on her own. She quickly learned how to keep herself busy with things. She would go about the island on "adventures" and watch Pokemon play on the beach. This is how she met Kay, a small baby Aron who lived in the Granite Cave, when she was 12. Both human and pokemon seemed equally fascinated by each other and Esra decided to take him home to much dismay of her mother who told her to bring the little fellow back to his family. But by then the harm had already been done and Kay started to follow Esra around everywhere to the point that it became evident that he would not leave anymore. The real breakthrough in Esra's life was when she got a camera for her 15th birthday. Instantly she became obsessed by photography. She would capture anything and would take long trips across the island to photograph everything, from pokemon to landscapes. The photo's that were to her liking soon got a place on her self created blog. When she was 19 Esra decided that it was time to get going with her life. Her blog got considerable attention, but she could only do so much from such a small island. Using her saved up money Esra decided to pursue her career in photography in Kalos' biggest city: Lumiose City. Slightly taken aback with all her plans her parents let her go with the promise to visit home often. Lumiose City was a change. A big change. Esra felt like she had arrived in the place to be. There was so much to see, so much to capture. After applying for several jobs with her portfolio Esra managed to snatch a job at the Journalist Office as photographer for local Lumiose City news while working her way up. She took on several classes to improve herself and managed to secure a good position for herself in the big city. A good enough position for her to be send to a festival close by where she will make photographs that will go along nicely with the articles that will no doubt be written about the event. Rumour even has it that famous moviestars are attending. [b]POKEMON PARTY:[/b] Kay - Aron Male Esra’s first Pokemon, still unevolved.

Empusa - Chandelure Female As devilish as her name suggests. Lionel – Luxray Male Grumpy one of the group [/center]
