[hider=Valerian]
[b]Name:[/b] Prince Valerian Hardrada
[b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4ndmAzg.png[/img]

Valerian is tall for his age, standing at 6’0”. He is a striking young man with a slender, graceful build, and with the regal posture of the prince he was raised to be. His wavy platinum blonde hair is perfectly styled at all times. He has expressive piercing blue eyes.

Though born into royalty, he dresses with modern flair. He likes pastel toned, tailored clothing. He wears a soft pink blazer over a lavender t-shirt, sleek designer jeans, and delicate silver accessories. He accessorizes purposefully, always polished, and always looks ready for a photo shoot at any moment. Even on the road, he refuses to be seen looking anything less than immaculate.

Valerian always smells faintly of rosewater and carries himself with the kind of confidence that can only come from someone born into royalty.

[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Personality:[/b] Valerian is everything someone would imagine a prince to be. Graceful, charming, and endearingly spoiled. He adores luxury, expects comfort, and occasionally makes a mountain out of a molehill (especially when there’s dirt involved). He can be vain, dramatic, and a little high-maintenance, but never cruel. His royal upbringing taught him poise and diplomacy, and while he sometimes weaponizes his charm to get his way, he is genuinely kind beneath the glamorous exterior.

He may fuss over chipped nails or mismatched aesthetics, but he’ll also go out of his way to help someone who’s hurting, even if it means getting his shoes dirty (the horror, I know!) Though pampered, Valerian is sincere, emotional, and ready to prove there’s more to him than sparkles and status.

[b]Trainer Class:[/b] Fairy Prince

[b]Hometown:[/b] Lacritasia City, Evig Region

[b]Background:[/b] As one of the youngest members of the royal Hardrada family, Valerian was raised in the lap of luxury. Though the Hardrada family no longer rules with political power, they remain beloved cultural icons, sponsors of the arts, fashion, and public appearances, their every move documented by the press. From the moment he could walk and talk, Valerian was not just a child, he was a symbol. 

He was trained to be the perfect image of a prince, flawless, composed, and ever gracious. But behind the glitz and glamor, Valerian felt like something was missing. He watched other children, ones who weren’t followed by cameras or styled by professionals, run through the streets with laughter and dirt on their shoes. They had scrapes, messes, freedom. Most of all, they had Pokémon not given to them as gifts, but earned through experience and bonding. Valerian, for all his luxury, envied that.

He always adored Fairy-types, they were beautiful, and magical. Every now and then, he’d sneak into the royal greenhouses at night just to spend time with wild Flabébé and Spritzee. The fairies didn’t ask him to be a perfect prince, only himself.

Valerian was expected to represent the family in galas, charity balls, and televised events. But when Professor Kapoc extended an invitation for young trainers to journey with a Pokédex, Valerian shocked the region by stepping forward himself. Everyone thought it would be a publicity stunt, even his own parents.

Valerian, wrote a letter to Professor Kapoc. In it, he spoke about wanting to learn the world outside of his royal bubble, and about proving that even someone like him could become a true trainer. Professor Kapoc didn’t just accept him, he challenged him. No shortcuts. No special treatment. Just Valerian, a Pokédex, and one Pokémon to start with. And Valerian accepted. He was looking forward to be seen not just as a prince, but as himself.
