[b]Name:[/b] Hansel Larch, Violet Town Gym Leader

[b]Age:[/b] 34 

[b]Gender:[/b] Male 

[b]Appearance:[/b] Hansel’s a farmer, and it shows. He's strangely tall, a broad-shouldered but somewhat lanky guy who towers over everyone else, and he's rarely seen without dirt [i]somewhere[/i] on his body. He's a big fan of the overalls look, and is, in fact, very similar in appearance to your stereotypical hardworking farmer dude. He's handsome, in a sort of farmboy-ish way, but he's also an eternal bachelor. Hansel's blond hair is always messy, and falls into his eyes a lot, but that's okay-- he just wears a hat, and that's fine.

[b]Personality:[/b] Hansel's always been a gentle soul. His family’s been in the agriculture industry for generations, and he’s happy to carry on the family tradition. If you think about it, Hansel’s kind of like a plant himself: he loves the outdoors, he loves being in the sun, and he just won’t stop growing! Like, seriously: he’s really tall.

Despite his intimidating height, Hansel's a total pushover. He has difficulties dealing with people with very assertive personalities, and is easily bullied into things, but he takes his duties seriously. Try to bully him into getting a gym badge without beating him first, for example, and… well, it just won’t work!

So, generally, he’s a nice guy. He likes helping people, he likes farming, and he’s a generally responsible dude. He loves Pokemon, and he loves his job. Sometimes he's a little dense --okay, a lot dense-- but... you can't have everything, okay?

[b]History:[/b] The Larch family has been in the farming industry for generations, and Hansel, as the oldest son in a family with many, many children, was unsurprisingly raised to carry on the family tradition. He spent his childhood doing manual labor on the family farm: milking the Miltanks, watering the crops, feeding whatever the heck needed feeding... Despite being the heir to the farm, he was basically a glorified farmhand.

Still, he loved the farm, and when his parents passed away, he was happy to take over. He still worked out in the fields, of course, but the executive work came fairly easily to him. Under Hansel, the farm prospered, becoming a pivotal part of the Violet Town community. When Falkner, the gym leader at the time, left to travel the world, Hansel ended up taking charge and become the replacement gym leader.
