Home Region/Town:
Lavender Town, Kanto
General Description and/or photo:
Note: Amelia usually wears jeans and t-shirts rather then what is pictured above. Her eyes are also a bright, cerulean blue.
Personality:
Amelia is a shy young girl with a kind heart and a great love for freedom. Socially awkward due to the little interaction she has had with others her age, she finds it hard to approach others or to reply when spoken to. When scolded or yelled at, she is more likely to curl up and take the verbal assault without any retort then she is to snap back. When she does snap, she holds nothing back and can truly show the passionate fire that burn within her, though sometimes she can push herself too far for her own good once angered.
Amelia's greatest loves are freedom and peace. She utterly detests those who pick on and bully others and constantly pick fights. She prefers to find the peaceful solution to problems and will pursue that method until forced to acknowledge it as no longer possible. While her distaste to violence also goes for pokemon battles, she acknowledges and takes part in the tradition, though she has sworn off using battle as a method to catch pokemon unless the pokemon she is after will only go with her after a battle.
Amelia also tends to be rather secretive about her conditions (See below). She hates it when others find out about her heart condition as they tend to tiptoe around her and general treat her like she is made of glass after learning about it, a fact that she hates. She also tends not to display her sensitivity to Ghost-Types openly, for fear of being treated differently as well.
Bio:
Amelia was born to a modest home in Lavender Town and is the only daughter of two caring parents. Some might say, two overly caring parents. When their daughter had to be sent to the closest hospital at the age of one, it was revealed that her heart hadn't developed as it should, resulting in her suffering intense pain if she pushed herself to hard, and possibly worse if she ever tried to push beyond this. When she was returned home after this revelation, Amelia's parents kept a very close eye on her and greatly restricted what she could and could not do, something she would come to compare as being a bird caught in a cage.
When she was still young, the age of six to be precise, Amelia began rebelling against her parents regime, often sneaking out at night to have fun. Her favorite place to go was the cemetery, where she would walk among the tombstones, monoliths, and other structures in peace and quiet, save for the company of the ghost-types that called this place home. While they initially played all kinds of pranks on her, she eventually got used to this and became good friends with them and she would come and visit them every night. During this time, something seemed to awake inside of her and she came to be able to weakly sense the presence of the Ghost-Type pokemon around her. As time went on, this grew steadily stronger, allowing her to discern different Ghosts among a group and sense them over a wider area.
When she was nine years old, Amelia finally got caught during one of these excursions after she got a bit reckless due to succeeding for three years. A local trainer caught her in the graveyard and returned her home. To say her parents where livid would be an understatement and Amelia quickly found herself being severely grounded. Unable to even leave her room, she sat on her bed and sulked for days, having nothing better to do and fearing what little freedom she had had was now lost.
Luckily, she had made some very good friends. The Ghost-type pokemon missed her and, after four days, began searching the town for her. When they found her, they undid the locks in her house and helped her escape into the night and to the graveyard once again. When she arrived, she was surprised and scared to find the trainer who had caught her waiting for her. Her fears were quickly dismissed though when the trainer apologized and told her he would help her in her escapades and even teach her how to battle.
Little did Amelia know, but her new friend had more in mind then that. When he would eventually approach her parents and tell them about her sneaking out again. Before they could ground her again, the trainer in question told them of their daughter's potential and proposed they send her to a trainer school, where she could still be watched over but still experience the same things a trainer would. While her parents were initially hesitant to even consider the idea, her new friend took the time needed to convince them to let her go, which was most of the night.
With her parents blessing, Amelia set off to Alola with her teacher/friend via plane after a week of preparing. Upon arrival, he took her to the campus and introduced her to Headmaster Marshall before leaving her in his hands, along with a letter detailing her heart condition so that the staff of the school would know and his contact info incase the staff needed an extra hand since he planned on staying in Alola for a bit. Amelia was taken to her room on the campus and also got her first partner from the Headmaster. She has been on campus for several days now and managed to get some more partners while getting to know the area.
