Ayana Knox

23

Female

Unova

Ayana's most immediately outstanding feature is her long, hip-length midnight-blue hair. One would be hard-pressed to find her without it up in a ponytail though, in which case it only falls to the middle of her back. Her slightly untidy hair is only a few shades darker than her cool blue eyes, which seem to survey her surroundings with a hint of scrutiny that doesn't often fade.

The cool, dark aspects of her natural features carry over to her wardrobe as well. Ayana chooses her clothes based purely off of function, picking comfortable stuff without much flair to it - which, when combined with her usual sober expressions, can grant her a rather unapproachable visage.

When it comes to physique, Ayana is somewhat average, standing at 5'11". She does, however, weigh a tad bit more than the average, due to the defined musculature granted by her regular training - not so much so that one would notice at a glance, though.

Ayana is a generally reserved individual, preferring to listen rather than talk. When she does talk, however, one wouldn't be blamed for thinking her a curt individual because- well, she kinda is. It seems she prefers to use as few words as makes sense to get her point across, which can leave the conversation rather dry, by most people's standards.

This is all true until Arlo comes into the picture. Her twin brother brings out a sense of rivalry in her that she doesn't seem to control well. While she is already a very competitive individual, her sibling only serves to enhance that further, causing her demeanor to be a bit more outgoing around him.

Arlo Knox

23

Male

Unova

Much like his sister, Arlo possesses blue hair - though his is much shorter and cloudier in color. His unkempt hair is a close match to his bright-azure, energetic eyes. The energy behind such eyes matches his bright appearance, which comes in part from his jovial body language and fun wardrobe.

Arlo enjoys both comfortable and fashionable clothing, and takes pleasure in trying to find the perfect mix. His color palette really consists of anything he feels like wearing, but blue and gray are his favorite combo. He also enjoys matching with his sister - both because it's cute and it annoys her - so he will sometimes wear things outside of his zone.

When it comes to physique, Arlo is surprisingly rather fit. He has a lean and very well defined musculature - which he can attribute to his ardent training as a gymnast and acrobat of sorts. He often finds himself in competition with his sister, and as such never lets himself fall behind.

Arlo is a much more outgoing individual than his twin. He's very talkative and exuberant, always looking to strike up a conversation or get into some sort of trouble - which he will almost always try to drag Ayana into. He's a bright personality and can be the life of the party in any situation. He's very competitive, much like his sister, and will never turn down a challenge if he can help it. He's been known to not be able to control his sharp tongue, or his "subtle" flirting.

Isla Gavins

24

Female

Galar

Standing at 5'10" and weighing in at just over 160lbs, Isla sports a head of messy shoulder-length ginger hair complemented with a pair of big, brown eyes. Her fair complexion gives a nice brightness to her smooth skin, allowing her rosy-red cheeks to be clear for anyone to see. Smiles are her go-to expression, cheery demeanor keeping her lips curved as she expresses her curiosity through slight raises of her brows to whatever she's eyeing at the moment. She stands straight, having good posture that allows her full height to be expressed without fail to everyone she meets.

Her usual attire consists of a yellow shirt with black stripes, under a light waist-long jacket with a skirt that remains slightly above her knees in length. Her bright legs are darkened and fully covered by her gray stockings, leading down to a pair of black dress shoes. She has a bulkier yellow coat for colder weather stowed away, along with jeans and general sleepwear for when she's not on the road.

For accessories, she's always carrying around a bag for her clothing and writing supplies. The bag having a few patches on it, marking trips to both Sinnoh and Orre. It also has some initials on it, from an unspecified "D.L" and "R.R", the former having a small smile beside it while the latter is littered by hearts around the letters. A chain dangles around her neck with a fully-colored steel Chansey as it's vocal point, and she has a pair of small hoop earrings that are usually hidden by her hair.

Enthusiastic is the simplest way to describe Isla. She's an eager individual, always on the move and ready to spring into action. Nothing excites her like exploration and Pokemon research, the girl willing to go to dramatic length to get her answers and not letting small things like fear get in the way of science. This obsession with research can lead to her spacing out and occasionally rambling off as she takes notes, falling out of a conversation if her mind wanders too far.

Not to say she'd willingly ignore someone: She's kind, one to look out for others as a fair and generally simplistic person. Trouble is not something she can turn away from, a mother hen that's willing to stick her nose in any situation to try and solve it, especially when someone is in danger. Her tolerance for unnecessary violence outside of a sportsman competition between trainers is zilch: Seeing a mistreated Pokemon or person will get her to bare her fangs of aggression and step up to tell someone off, or worse if it comes to it.

While not bossy, she's happy to make suggestions she'd think are best for other people, even if they don't accept it. Attitude directed at her can be met with a hint of sass, though she'll generally disregard it as someone still having some growing to do if they think they need to be aggressive to make a point. Such approaches yield no results with her, the woman not willing to budge to someone trying to force her hand unless the situation was truly dire. To which if extremes were taken, she'd not be one to forgive such a thing.

Scientific side being the key to her adult conversations, she's got a gentle tone to calm younger crowds as well. Always ready to put the kettle on for a conversation, or cook up a storm when presented with the opportunity, she has a way of easily making connections over time. Supportive of people's goals and endeavors, it brings her joy to see others grow: And it brings a hint of sadness to see someone fall off their path and stagnate.

She takes a gentle approach to Pokemon, too. Wanting to get close and study their habits though her friendliness sometimes can get her chased off. She's smarter than to go try and observe an Ursaring up close, but when it comes to smaller Pokemon she's willing to try and slowly slip into the scene to get a closer look, even if it means peeking out of a tree to get a good look at the subject of her study.

And no matter where her studies take her, that smile of hers is sure to follow.

Ferris Roe

23

Male

Galar

Ferris stands around 5'8 with average weight and has a relatively peachy skin tone. Relatively broad shouldered and well built because he's typically carrying around heavy camera equipment everywhere he goes. He is fashion conscious though wears mainly whatever he likes, but he is also the kind of guy to dig around a thrift store for something a bit more retro and hidden treasures that people just toss away. In general, he will wear clothes that look nice, but are practical for different situations though Ferris most definitely wears almost exclusively jeans with either boots or sneakers.

His hair is typically tied in a man-bun though when it's untied it is a little bit longer than shoulder length. Sometimes he wears it as a loose ponytail when he simply can't be bothered to put in the effort. Occasionally he uses a hairband to keep his bangs back.

If there isn't a camera on his person at all times then there is something wrong. Ferris always keeps a very expensive digital camera around and a pack filled with other bits of photography equipment and a laptop to store images in.

A laidback, confident individual that almost doesn't take anything seriously. Ferris is someone that wants to live his life to the fullest and experience all that the world has to offer so his feet are never firmly planted anywhere for too long so it would be fair to say that he lives for his own desires and follows his impulses if to a fault. He is naturally inquisitive and has an open mind for trying new things even if it's obvious that he will absolutely hate it and knows it.

Adventure had always beckoned him and at one point as most children in the Pokemon world did he wandered around regions as a Pokemon Trainer and became quite an accomplished one at that for a brief time. It was around the time that he started to get serious about photography and lost interest in such things as 'becoming the very best,' but his desire for adventure and to see new wonders did not waver. When there is picture needed to be taken, he would be there. It's one of the few things he actually gets quite heated up about and his competitiveness begins to reveal itself when it comes to getting the picture first. After all, he is a professional. Some may have already seen his photos in magazines or galleries.

Ferris is to his core a tease and a flirt, but will respect any boundaries if someone feels uncomfortable with it. He's a flirt, not a scumbag. In general he has absolutely not shyness about him due to his own abundance of confidence. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own insecurities, but that's for everyone else to figure out.

When taking photos of his subjects he has an air of pure focus and respect for the subject at hand. He would never want to disturb the subject in its natural habitat nor would he ever influence the subject in a way that would be deemed unnatural. In fact, he despises opportunistic photographers that do not have any respect for the subject who sees them as a means to an end instead of celebrating the artform of photography. Ferris will quite literally stake out for days at a time just to get the perfect shot.

Botan Naito

21

Female

Kanto

Appearance wise, Botan is pretty much your average girl. She has no muscle definition to speak of (and in fact she's quite physically weak), but she's got a healthy build for her age. She's not particularly tall either, standing at about 5'7'', so the most noticeable thing about Botan is her big head of hair. Long, brown, and wavy, Botan likes to keep it loose so that it reaches down her body as much as possible. She finds that style cute. Even when worn in a ponytail or braid, it keeps it's volume.

Botan's clothing choices are stylish, but not extravagant. She wears blouses, skirts, and dress pants. Accessories like ribbons and bracelets are similar - simple, elegant, but not over the top. Even her at home comfortable clothes are like that. She doesn't even own anything that could be considered "lounge wear."

For the trip to Panmia Island, she's invested in some top of the line "outdoor gear," and she looks very out of place in them.

Botan is a bit spoiled - but being the heiress to a wealthy family's company will do that to a person. She's used to getting everything her way, and though she's long since grown out of the brattiness of childhood, it's not beneath her to pout and sulk when she gets disappointed. A willful and determined girl, it's common for her to press issues and try to get the best results for her. That said, Botan isn't selfish - her pushiness can benefit those around her as well. Making sure your own are taken care of is just common sense. Or is it business sense? Botan is a little naive about how the rest of the world outside the corporate things work, but she's very much willing to learn - especially when it comes to Pokémon.

She has a genuine interest in them that goes beyond the casual. She's taken classes, read books, and watched documentaries, but has very little practical experience with them. After all but strong-arming herself into a position on the expedition, Botan's excitement is at it's peak. Curious, studious, and driven - she might fit in better than expected.

Felix Charron

19

M

Kalos

Relatively short at around 5'5" and with a tendency to wear trendy clothes that are definitely style over function, as well as a fair bit of jewelry.
(Honestly, just go by the picture... I suck at writing these parts.)

He comes off as a solid mixture of aloof and abrasive. He's not terribly patient, either, so it's not hard to get him into a bad mood. He's not one to snap and start screaming at you, but it's not uncommon for him to fire off a few insensitive remarks if one ends up on his bad side.

HIs somewhat antisocial behavior does not mean that he's shy, however. Far from it, and he's the farthest thing imaginable from a doormat. In normal conversation, when not otherwise incensed, he is typically polite if somewhat curt.

There is also, as with many people, another side to him. A softer side that will come out without warning and at the most unexpected of times. He's not trying to hide it or anything, he just rarely has reason to show it. Blink and you'll miss it.
