I was picturing, potentially, a high level enchanter that served the roll of providing significant buffs to guild parties before they left like last rites. Ergo, maybe the Guild Chaplain since I have some high holiness theme in mind.
Someone that can also be converted over to a Chapter rather easily too if that role needs filling.
Hey kid, what’s your name? "Um... Abigail Winster.." Huh, interesting...you look more like a... Depth perception is kind of a problem for me. Why don’t you save me the trouble and tell me how you look? How old are you anyway? "I just turned fifteen last week... Is that okay?" Why don’t you lay your past on me? What are you even doing here? "...Um okay if I have to..." I came from Crescent City which is in the northern part of California. It is not a very big town or anything but it had a lot of outdoors stuff so that's what me and my family did a lot.
Oh, right, about my parents... My dad works on a boat, fishing for crabs, and my mom is a school teacher at Pine Grove Elementary school. I am an only child but... I-I think I was supposed to be a twin with my sister Annalise. Mom and Dad never told me but I-I remember my sister I think when I was very little. I don't know what happened but one day she just wasn't there and I feel like my mom and dad changed. I can't remember it well despite really wanting to.
The memory is there I know it is but mom and dad tell me every time I am an only child but they are wrong! I know it and they are lying! Stop looking at me like you don't believe me because I know they are lying because my sister told me! ... I-I shouldn't said that but well, my sister is still here with me. At first I didn't know it was her but just some ghost that came into my room one night. I should have been afraid but I wasn't. She was just a little thing and was looking for a friend. I spent all night talking with her and that's when she revealed she was my sister! She has been with me ever since.
Th-that's why I lied to parents. I never signed up for Redwood Summer Camp but I told them I did so I can leave for where Annalise tells me I might be able to get my memory of her back, a place called Gravity Falls. Using some of the money my parents gave me, I bought a bus ticket to get here and I am not going back until I find my memories of my sister!
Anything else you wanna share? Go for it! Abby is the more natural way she likes to be addressed. Same with calling her sister Anna rather than her full name. Abigail is haunted by a ghost! Thankfully it is the KINDA CUTE variety and just wants a best friend. While Mr. and Mrs. Winster may not know where their daughter is, they are dotting enough to eventually check up on her in Camp... assuming she is there. Something is wrong about Abigail's recollection and in general something is fishy. Gravity Falls might be the best place to correct all this.
This battle was proving to be quite formidable easily shaking Erika's earlier confidence that came from defeating Daisy. Half of her team had fainted and things were teetering a bit on the edge with her hopeful plan failing unexpectedly. It was a good idea, right? To have Kay sap Nuzleaf's attack like that? It didn't matter now, anyway. She had to think of what her plan was now and despite the quite intimidated expression on her face, Erika was running through who on her team was next.
Eep could maybe hang in there but Confuse Ray is too valuable to lose before it can be used again. If Erika's next Pokemon fainted, Eep was next for sure. She just needed to get lucky. There was... maybe a way to tip the odds in her side's favor: Accuracy. With who remained, Chic and Sno have ways of maybe rigging those horrid unlucky dice to land on her side more often? It was an idea at least and since Sno could only raise her evasiveness, Chic was up.
Raising the Pokeball to her mouth, Erika whispered a tiny goodluck prayer to not only her but to Chic as well. "Alright Chic, we're a bit in danger here but I know we can pull through so hang in there..." With that she cast the ball out and Chic emerged ready to go.
Sand-Attack. Hopefully there was enough of a buffer between the accuracy loss and the confusion to let Chic get a few rounds off. However, the moment Chic gets hit, Erika would switch trying to take advantage of that type advantage, Chic's ability, and hope for the best with ember, looking for a burn.

Erika hurried over to the Stillwood Village Gym after the Pokemon Center. One glance up to the top of this massive treehouse had certainly been a slightly intimidating sight and perhaps, she was a bit mystified by the view up until she heard some chatter approaching her. Her gaze dropped to the spiraling staircase where two familiar characters were coming down. Of course, these two were some of Elite Four Jacques's prodigies. Erika let those two pass without stopping them, quietly trying to hide by keeping her head down. It was obvious those two had just challenged the Gym and won. She didn't want to broadcast she was up next for that still lingering doubt in her mind.
Despite successfully not attracting the attention of the prodigies, Erika did manage to attract the attention of the Gym Buddy. She nodded along and paid attention as much as she could to be polite. However, she certainly knew all of this already. "Mhm! Thank you for telling me all that." Erika smiled, continuing. "I'm... going to do what my mom wanted. I'm going to be Pokemon Champion and it starts here." She clenched her fists tightly as her gaze wandered over to the stairs. With a deep breath, she took that plunge. Onward.
Erika climbed up to the first platform. A trainer was awaiting her and she didn't know why, but these Aroma ladies always had this smug lording attitude, like they looking down on her! "Let's do this." Was Erika's response.
Tara, as it turns out, was the most important addition to her team for this gym. Safeguard was vital to prevent being overwhelmed by status effects. So Tara was up first. Safeguard was the first move, followed by Peck. Peck until the fourth turn where Tara will Safeguard again to keep her status effect shield up. Assuming this works on Shroomish, Erika will keep Tara in for one turn against Tangela. Safeguard and then switch out for Chic. Ember with Chic until Tangela falls. Treekco will have Erika switch to Eep. Eep will then use Confuse Ray, Ingrain, and then trying to melt the enemy with Acid.
Since Erika has a fiery spirit right now. She will use one potion on each: Tara, Eep, and Chic. Therefore allowing her to continue on.
If Erika was able to press on, she'd continue up the winding staircase to the second platform. Taking one glance at her opponent, her eyes narrowed into a glare. "Oh. It's you." Erika's tone was far less excited compared to Daisy's. "Fine. I'll defeat you at your best this time since you just got lucky last time." She replied, offering a bit of venom in those words. Speaking of, Eep was up first. Ingrain to Confuse Ray. Once Whimsicott got confused, it was Acid melting time. Since Erika was a bit unsure of Eep's success. Chic would be the potential backup to Ember Whimsicott down. Lombre would urge Erika to bring out Kay. Despite having Peck, Foul Play was Erika's play. Go until Lombre was defeated. Now for Vivillion, Tara would come up. Safeguard, switch Pokemon to Sno and then use Icy Wind to hopefully knock Vivillion out. Should that fail, Tara is back up. Safeguard into peck.
Assuming victory came from this battle, Erika would reluctantly retreat to use to Pokemon Center before pressing on.
Erika if she had made it this far would be sure smugly walk past Daisy on her way back up. Then continuing she'd be met by Ramsay who was far nicer than those other two. "Thank you! I'll prove to you that I am strong enough!" Skiddo would be met with Chic. Ember until hopefully managing to topple this opponent. Leafeon would be met by Tara who would use Mist immediately. Then Peck until she had to use Mist again to protect from accuracy loss. Nuzleaf would get Erika's own wily Pokemon, Kay. Thus, Erika was challenging Ramsey's knowledge a bit here, assuming he knew what Inkay's Topsy-Turvy did. Regardless, Reflect to Swagger to Topsy-Turvy! Then Peck the rest of the way! Relief Pokemon for these matches will be Gibs who will Sandstorm into Dragon Rage regardless of opponent.
With a session of training down in the books, it was time to consider her first challenge at the Stillwood Village Gym. It was apparent that she'd have to contend with some grass types especially considering she watched a few challengers face some of the other trainers in the gym. So naturally, she had to focus on strategies with Sno, Chic, Gibs, and Tara. The other two on her planned team, Eep and Kay, were not at any inherent disadvantage. That being said, Erika still had some reservations about challenging a Gym. Was she ready? Guess there was no way to tell without going on to challenge.
So Erika hurried on back to Stillwood Village and went to the Pokemon Center, swapping Chu for Gibs at the Pokemon console. Then she approached the Stillwood Village Gym, ready to challenge the leader inside....
Indeed, it was quite troublesome for Erika to reach a Swablu on the ground. She was beginning to devise some sort of strategy to hit one at range until her friend, Farfetch'd flew off. Some things happened which Erika hadn't been paying attention to but a Swablu was knocked down to her feet. How convenient! "Huh? Oh! Uuh! Quick Sno!" Erika was a bit surprised but managed to rally behind her strategy of using Sno's type effectiveness. With Swablu being weakened, Erika cast her Pokeball and then waited for the capture.
Success!
Erika was pleased as she gripped Gib's Pokeball from her belt and pressed the button to return it to the PC. He certainly needed a rest and he was probably the only one that maybe didn't need training on her team. Erika bent down and picked up the Pokeball of her newly acquired teammate. "Let's see... Swablu.. Lou? No.. Altaria... Tara? Yea that sounds alright." Erika muttered as she filled in the new nickname.
Now, she had certainly realized what Farfetch'd landing there meant. She squatted and reached into her bag. She pulled out all the berries she had and offered him a choice of whatever one looked best to him... or her! "Here, Farfetch'd! For your help, I'll let you pick your favorite! And if you help me a bit more I'll let you have another one."
So with her helper properly rewarded, Erika took the time to heal Tara with a potion and then it was time to begin training. Each member of Erika's team would be given a chance to fight other bird Pokemon, ones that Farfetch'd knocked down within range.
