"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Name:
Roxanne Hart (usually goes by Roxy)
Age:
15
Gender:
Female
Nationality:
Hoennian, from Rustboro City
Personality:
Roxy is an energetic, happy-go-lucky girl who is optimistic to the point of naivety. She takes everything in stride, not letting most things get under her skin. Roxy sees the best in people, perhaps because she's never had to see the worst in them. Her cheeriness is borderline infectious, and she always tries to cheer up the people around her. She can come off as a bit...forward, to say the least, as she is very quick to consider people friends. Roxy's optimism can make her a bit reckless, due to her "What could go wrong?" attitude. She isn't too fond of staying in one place, and can go rushing off at a moment's notice. Roxy isn't awfully observant, either, and becomes bored easily. She is also very easily distracted, and has a particular fondness for cute Pokemon. She is easy to take advantage of, as she is very trusting of other people. Her favorite kinds of Pokemon are those that resemble dogs.
Biography:
Roxanne Hart grew up in the Hoenn Region's Rustboro City. Being the only daughter of a rich couple, her life was never exactly difficult. While she wasn't spoiled, per se, she definitely had a lot to envy. Nice clothes, a nice house, married parents...it's easy to see why her naivety comes into play so frequently. Her parents both work for the Devon Corporation, and have for the last decade or so. They moved to Hoenn from the Sinnoh region after being invited to work for the Devon Corporation due to their breakthrough research on reviving fossil Pokemon. And while the two are occasionally homesick, the Hoenn region is where they chose to settle down. With well paying, stable jobs, they could afford the lifestyle that Roxy grew up with. But as they could both recall the disastrous events of Team Galactic's reign of terror, they became
very protective of Roxy.
Roxy herself loves her parents very dearly. But their uptight, protective bearing over her began to frustrate her as she grew older. Attending the Pokemon Trainer's School, Roxy grew to love Pokemon with the kind of fervor that is common of many trainers. When she told her parents she wanted to be a trainer, she was met with violent refusal. After all, she could "get hurt! Or kidnapped! Or
worse!" This greatly upset her; she had everything she could possibly desire
except for the one thing she actually wanted...aside from the fact that they still called her Roxanne when she much preferred going by Roxy. Too informal, they said. As Roxy watched her friends engage in Pokemon battles nearly every day, she found herself in an almost pitiful kind of irony: for once,
she envied
others. Usually it was the other way around, until now.
As she approached her fifteenth birthday, Roxy's parents received a gift from Mr. Stone himself: a newly-hatched Riolu, to give them a taste of their home region. Deciding to give it to Roxy as a pet, her parents gave her the young Riolu for her birthday. Roxy was so ecstatic that she actually burst into tears when the Riolu ran into her arms that day. Deciding to name her "new best friend in the entire world" Lucina, the two practically became inseparable. While Roxy is energetic and reckless, Lucina is more composed and cautious. Lucina is protective over Roxy, acting as a sort of bodyguard for her. Lucina became the most important thing in Roxy's life, and basically all she ever talked about to her friends at school. When her friends wanted to see this "super rare, awesome Pokemon" that Roxy talked about all the time, she asked her parents if she could bring Lucina to school. Needless to say, they refused, fearing that Roxy would begin battling all her schoolmates.
Well, that's
exactly what she did. After sneaking Lucina to school by keeping her in a pokeball she hid under a hat, Roxy challenged all her friends to Pokemon battles over several days. Unfortunately for her, a teacher called her parents a week later, telling them that for a new trainer, Roxy was fairly good in Pokemon battles. This sent Roxy's parents into a fury, punishing her harshly for disobeying them. They even threatened to take Lucina away from her, resulting in an explosive argument between the family. As she tossed and turned in her bed that night, Roxy felt an emotion that was quite rare for her:
anger. All her friends were talking about how they planned to set off on these grandiose adventures and see the whole world. And here she was, imprisoned in this nice house with nice things and nice people, but still
imprisoned. Roxy decided that enough was enough.
Haphazardly shoving a decent amount of personal care items into a bag, Roxy grabbed Lucina's pokeball and a handful of jewelry before climbing out of the window in her room. Whether her parents liked it or not, she was going to experience every damn thing this world had to offer...but first, she had to get out of Hoenn. Selling the jewelry she'd taken, Roxy purchased a one-way ticket to that region she'd heard so much about: Chromis. She had just enough left over to buy a few potions, pokeballs, and a revive for Lucina's sake, with a small bit saved for food and water. Climbing aboard the S.S. Tidal, Roxy realized she'd never been so free in her entire
life. The thrill of it all had her trembling with anticipation. While she didn't quite understand the gravity of what she'd just done-and possibly never will-it was too late to turn back now. It was off to Chromis, and an exciting world for her to see.
