Personality / BiographyWillow is a reserved young teenager. She does not usually needlessly speak or mingle with others. This is not because she is a loner, mean or uninterested of others but actually a result of how she grew up.
Willow's family were very poor and grew up in an isolated village where they were mostly seen as pariahs. This was because of an old story about her mother in the village where, apparently, she was the cause of a young man's fatal accident. One thing leading to another mixed with superstitious belief and a few years down the line Willow's mother was branded a Witch and mostly left in exile on the border of the village.
A direct result of this was that Willow grew up secluded and mostly alone with her mother. Her father was never part of the picture, gone or deceased before she really could remember. She inherited her mother's disgraced statue and was mostly avoided or ignored at the village. Still, they managed to live a good life growing their own food and taking care of themselves just her mother, herself and their Pokemons. of those there was two; her mother's Meowstic and Willow's Ralts. The terrain they lived in was lovely and full of green and in that regard, her childhood was happy.
Their luck turned quickly, however, when Meowstic passed of old age. He had already been aged when he decided to remain with Willow's mother, so it was only natural. Her own mother passed shortly after, and life only got harder. Willow tried to stay and live like they used to, but it was unattainable on their own so she finally had to leave after a few months.
A life of near solitude left her uniquely unskilled at meeting people and she was mostly a silent girl. By this time, her Ralts had became a Kirlia and was her only companion and both of them loved and cared for each other dearly. The first time then that they achieved Unity was born of pure necessity and was a surprise. They had been living on the streets for a time and a group of bad people wanted her to leave for some reason or another and were becoming quite aggressive, so it happened. Willow did not hurt them, the simple fact that it happened caused them to flee but the phenomenon did not go unnoticed. Someone from the Academy had heard of it and soon, Willow was enrolled into it since she had the ability for Unity.
Only recently arrived, Willow is among the fresh recruits of the Academy, but is willing to give it her all despite so far keeping mostly to herself.
Partner Pokémon + Unity Abilities:Iris
Kirlia
Iris and Willow have been together since they were both babies, almost. They see each others almost like sisters, and Iris especially, as a Pokemon and therefore having some additional powers, feels the need to protect Willow and sees herself as the big sister. Personality wise, she will be more confrontational than her Trainer and often jump in between Willow and anyone trying to bully her or hurt her. Despite this, she remains but a Kirlia and her actual powers are still developing.
When they use Unity, Willow bears a very light armor which is green and white in color. The armor itself is a green dress like clothing that is held into place by a leathery, white chest piece that offers light protection. Her leg guards and bracers are made of white metal and she also has shoulder guards. All of which is completed with a hood over her head, looking more like a light Scout than a fighting Knight which might be a result of her Pokemon not having achieved their final evolution yet.
In that form, Willow also become armed with a curved, Scimitar looking sword that emanates a violet glow. The blade itself does not cut physically, instead it passes right through a target causing damage directly to the mind (
Psychic), yet can still be used to block physical attacks such as someone else's sword.
The rest of this form's ability are mostly defensive. Willow can summon 2 mirror images of herself which are made to confuse an enemy (
Double Team). Last, but not least, she can 'blink' short distances (
Teleport), although it is hard to use with accuracy and still require training.
