Name: Penelope (Penny) Cerrato
Age: 13
Hometown: Lacunosa Town, Unova
Appearance:

Bio: Penny was born in Lacunosa, though her life there was very brief. At 7 years old, she had a tendency to wander, her itch to explore always taking over her better judgement to stay out of trouble. It was on a particularly busy day at her parents’ flower shop that Penny decided to wander out of town toward Village Bridge. The young girl decided to explore around the edge of the river, hopping from stone to stone as she went. However, her foot slipped on a stone closer to the center of the river and she fell into the water. It should be noted that penny is not the strongest swimmer, so she began to sink further and further under the water despite all her efforts, the river’s current only working against her. It was then that she felt something pushing up on her chest from below, and before she could process what was happening she was being led to the surface by something resembling a yellow inflatable tube. It was only when she was brought to the surface and led to shore that she realized what it truly was that saved her; a Buizel.
After that, the Buizel had followed the girl home, though it was unclear to Penny whether it was because it had grown attached to her or if it merely did not trust her to get home safely. Regardless, Buizel never left her side that day on. At first, he was a mere house pet, but as Penny got older and their bond grew, they began to take their hand in battles. Penny had even bought a pokeball once the day came for the move to Heahea City in Alola, marking the day that Penny and Buizel decided to be partners.
The sudden relocation was due to her parents’ decision to move the shop, spotting an opportunity to sell their plants and flowers to a whole new demographic. Penny was sad to leave her home, but at the same time she could see nothing but potential as they made their way to their new home, imagining all the new pokemon she could meet. And once the moving in had finished, that is exactly what she set out to do, setting out every chance she could in search of new pokemon and trainers. Over the years she had found many different pokemon, even catching a Makuhita and Vulpix of her own. And it was only a matter of time before she had been accepted into Alola Academy, giving her a chance to truly put her skills to the test.

Kingdom Hearts ~ Seekers of Light

Mira grit her teeth as she fought of the creatures, the boy’s cold words echoing in her head as she did so. There was no way… They would never give into such a heinous group, the king, albeit a goofy and rather jokey fellow, would never merely sign away his kingdom so easily! … Would he?

She couldn’t focus on these things now, though, all she could do was keep faith as she fended of the creatures, though even that was beginning to seem hopeless. At first, she was keeping up rather well, but after only moments it seemed that with each creature she took out, even more took its place. She had to quickly turn her offensive maneuver into a defensive one, but even that began to be too trying. As much as she tried to avoid them, even lashing at them with her whip at whatever opportunities she could, she still found herself getting struck down. It was only a matter of time before she was sent tumbling backwards from one of the strikes, regaining her stance fast enough to merely see the creatures coming for her, too many for her to even consider evading. She instinctively raised her arms u in from of her, turning and closing her eyes as she embraced herself for the sudden strike…

… But it never came.

Mira’s eyeshot open, looking around in shock to see that she had returned to the village. The scene that played out next was probably the most surprising to her, watching as a young boy with shockingly canine-like features came to her rescue, attacking the young mage with his shield. A talking animal, in retrospect, wasn’t all that uncommon in Marchen, though this was still quite the shock to Mira at the time. Things only became even stranger from there as two more of the canine crusaders appeared, bounding up in a strange contraption, firing off some sort of blast from the back. It had all happened so quickly that it was hard for her to process, it was only earlier that day that Mira was picking berries and herbs to bring back to the village, and in a matter of no time they were under attack and she was being saved by a race of boys she had never seen before.

"C'mon, let's take this guy down!"

Mira looked over to her side, the canine boy that had saved her now standing by her side. It took her a moment, but after seeing a glimpse of hope, she found herself feeling even more determined than before. She nodded to the boy, her eyes now burning with determination as she shot him a smirk.

“Right!” the agreed, turning her attention back to the boy, swiftly gesturing in his direction. “Fira!”

Mira conjured up yet another ball of flame, sending forth another fire spell in his direction. Immediately after, she broke out into a sprint, curving out to the side as she ran in the boy’s direction with her blazing whip in hand. Even if he stopped the spell, she still had a chance of landing an attack on him. In her mind, she knew this would work, and maybe it was a mere second wind due to her newfound allies and a glimpse of hope.

But in her heart, she knew they could win this fight.

Anyone here?

@Double

Still here too! I'll have something up tonight, this past weekend was been really hectic.

Kingdom Hearts ~ Seekers of Light

It all happened so quickly that Mira had hardly even realized what had happened. The second her whip was supposed to make contact with the mysterious man, his book came flying toward her, absorbing her whip into the pages as grew larger and larger until-

CLAP!

Mira couldn’t help but cringe, shutting her eyes as the book slammed shut around her and half expecting to be crushed by the pages, but… she wasn’t. Her eyes shot open in shock looking about to see, well, nothing. Nothing but black void surrounded her no matter which way she turn. She wasn’t even quite sure if she was truly standing on anything.

“Where…?” she murmured, though her moment to process anything was short lived for it only took a moment for the strange creature to appear, as though they had slithered out of the nothingness itself and leaving her surrounded before ultimately luging toward her. Mira was quick to react this time, though. She had been watching closely as she went about the village, and though at first it seemed as though they moved about without any rhyme or reason, she could predict where they were going. With a flick of her wrist she sent her toward one of the creatures, wrapping around what she could only assume was its torso. And with a mighty pull, or as mighty as she could muster, she sent the creature flying into one of the others behind her.

"You may as well surrender..."

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the mysterious… boy? He didn’t even look much older than Mira, so how could he be such a skilled mage? She swung around with her whip, suddenly engulfed in flames once again as she went to strike the boy, but as soon as it should have made contact, he suddenly disappear, her attack striking through a creature instead. Mira must have been caught off guard by the boy’s disappearance, for a creature struck her from behind, sending her tumbling forward. It only took her an instance to regain her composure, rolling back to her feet and out of her tumble, lunging for the creature and blazing through it with yet another fire strike.

"...A novice like you couldn't hope to match me in a contest of illusions."

He appeared again between two creatures as they danced about like puppets. Was he toying with her? She gestured toward the boy with a single hand, sending forth a blast of fire. Yet again, though, the boy disappeared, and the attacked merely sent the surrounding creatures ablaze. He wasn’t wrong, though, Mira was still but a mage with the status of a mere apprentice. Though most would actually need a mentor to even be considered an apprentice. So how in the world could someone so young have such prowess as a mage? Something did not feel right… But she couldn’t let that get to her, and she could not let on that his tactics were working. She had to focus on the task at hand.

“And a professional wouldn’t rely on minions and cheap tricks!” she retorted, tightening her grip on her whip. “Who are you? What do you
want with my village?”

This seems interesting, I'll be keeping an eye on this! ^_^

Kingdom Hearts ~ Seekers of Light

Finally managed to post! Sorry if it's a little long.

Kingdom Hearts ~ Seekers of Light

So much had changed in a mere few days.

Mira walked through the woods, basket in hand and her hood up over her head. Her basket was full of all sorts of fruits and herbs, miscellaneous items that she had spent the day looking for. The village had been low on medicinal herbs and whatnot, and given the events that had been occurring not many felt safe enough to leave the village. It was understandable, though… Ever since Mira had stumbled upon that creature in that barn, everything seemed to spiral out of control. It was an alarming sight, nothing she had ever seen before. It shook, hobbling about without any rhyme or reason before ultimately leaping for Mira. If had been one of the villagers at the time, things may have gotten out of hand, but it wasn’t anything she couldn’t hand with a few cracks of her whip. Although… it certainly did not make it easy for her. After that, there were many sightings in villages all across the land, even in the better protected kingdoms…

“Kyuu, kyuu!”

Mira was pulled back from her dazed state of thought, the high pitched squeaks and the feeling of something nudging at her foot drawing her back to reality. She looked down to see a small foxlike creature head-butting her in the ankle. Its fur was white with its paws and the tips of its large ears fading into an ashy color. It had a large fluffy white tail as well as a bright blue feathery appendage coming up from its forehead, almost like an antenna. Mira couldn’t help but smile at the little creature as it leapt up to rest on her shoulder, sharing at her with its big blue eyes curiously.

“Its okay, Rider,” Mira reassured the small creature, leaning her cheek toward him so as to let it nuzzle her a bit. “Just a lot to think about I guess...”

Her voice trailed off as Rider’s ears twitched, his head perking up as his eyes darted about.

“What’s wrong?” she asked quizzically, though she hardly expected an answer. It was only a moment before Rider’s eyes fixated on something in the distance as he leapt off Mira’s shoulder and assumed a crouched, defensive position, a low growl resonating from the small creature. Mira tried to follow his gaze, one hand on the whip holstered to her side, but before she could even make it out, something suddenly flew toward her. She let out a small shriek, unable to mask her state of alarm as she instinctively upholstered her whip and swung for the mysterious object… But she didn’t make contact. She looked around frantically, though before she could make anything out the object came for her once more. The only difference was that Mira was not caught off guard this time. Without hesitation, she swung her whip upward with precision aim… but still, no contact. This time though Mira was sure not to let it out of her sights. It was still hard to make out, she could barely see the details of the gray creature as it slithered through the air. Was it some sort of serpent, though she could have sworn she saw limbs as it flew… toward…

“It’s heading toward the village!” Mira exclaimed as she began to give chase to the strange creature. “Rider!”

As she called for him, the little creature began running up from behind her, quickly gaining speed and catching up to Mira. In one swift motion, Mira leapt up into the air as Rider ran underneath her, it was at that exact moment that the small creature was engulf in a swirl of azure flames, quickly growing larger and larger before dissipating as suddenly as they had appeared. And it was in that moment the flames disappeared that a larger, ferocious creature was revealed; a large white wolf, with the same features as Rider, with large fangs bared and remains of the azure flames coming from its paws. Mira landed on its back, grabbing the fur behind its neck and holding on as tight as she could as the creature took off, running at an alarming speed.

***

The scenery was nothing as Mira remembered it to be; the bright blue sky was now a sorrowful grey, and the village… The village ransacked by them. The strange grey creatures dancing about through the air like whimsical puppets, yet they were slithering through the air as though they were serpents chasing after the villagers. Attacking them… Hunting them…

As Rider came to a sliding halt, Mira held out a single hand, gesturing toward one of the creatures as it chased after a small boy.

“Fira!” she exclaimed, sending forth a medium sized ball of fire, soaring straight for the creature and bursting upon impact. So she could hit them.

“M-Mira!” the boy cried out, rushing to hug her by the leg as she leapt down from Rider’s back. She shot the boy a warm smile, patting him on the head before pulling him away gently.

“It’s alright,” she reassured him, pushing him closer toward the large beast white beast. “Rider is going to take you and everyone else out of the village for a little bit while I clean things up.” She then looked up to Rider, putting a hand on his back as she looked him deep in his bright blue eyes, her expression serious. “Get everyone to safety.”

And with a snarl of confirmation, the great beast led the young boy away, staying ever so vigilant and making sure nothing and no one got near him. Mira turned away and ran toward the center of the village, knowing she could trust her companion. She slashed through creatures as best as she could, casting fire left and right as she went. Whether she actually made contact or merely bought the villagers some time, she did everything in her power to protect them. It was only a matter of time before she made it to the center of the village, spotting a man she had never seen before… or was it a man? She could hardly tell with his black cloak. For all she knew, it could have been a monster too, for the way the creatures acted around him… it was as if they weren’t any threat to him.

“Who are you?!” she shouted to the man, eying him up and down and paying special attention to the book in his hands. “What are you doing here?! If you are of no threat then leave this place.”

She gave the man but a moment, though it already seemed clear to hear what the situation was. She raised her whip above her head, the length of the leathery line suddenly swirling with flame as she swung toward the figure.

“I said leave this place!”
