Gris' Battle Theme!
Name:
Gris
Age:
18
Gender:
Female ♀
Nationality:
Orre
Personality:
Never shying away from an argument, Gris can appear unmistakably confrontational. Confident in her own ability, she isn't one to mince words, and will more often than not cut in with a snide remark or witty rebuttal. She is confident and resourceful, considering all options but backing down, and possesses a strong sense of pride in what she does, her friends, and where she came from. On the rare ocassion that Gris is at a loss for words, she can become quite defensive and even bashful, blushing and stammering in almost child-like manner.
In spite of her bellicose disposition, Gris is neither cruel nor a loner. In fact, she's quite passionate, caring greatly about her allies, her friends and family, and will go to great lengths to protect and support those dear to her. Similarly, Gris possesses a strong analytical mind, and tends to prefer a strategic and thorough approach over brute strength - something that catches most people off-guard after their first interaction with the girl.
Excitable and energetic, Gris has a wide array of interest, constantly bouncing around from one topic of interest to the next one. Perhaps as a result of her life before becoming a proper trainer, or due to her lack of focus, Gris is a bit of a mess, often leaving her things all over the place, messing up her surroundings, or leaving a mess in any kitchen unfortunate enough to have her.
Biography:
Gris was born to a pair of Riders in The Under. Though she does not remember much of the earliest day of her childhood, she does remember that her parents failed to return to their home when she was just barely old enough to take care of herself, something kids in The Under learn quicker than most children. Alone and without many choices - something the residents of The Under were always accustomed to - Gris turned to search for scraps and loot around the area, ocassionally venturing even into Pyrite.
It was during these times that Gris met and befriended Gray, a particularly scrappy Poochyena, and Ella, a smart Sentret. The two small Pokemon had paired up together, tricking the shop owners and the outsiders that visited the colosseums in both Pyrite and The Under. Though the girl clashed with the two Pokemon at first, not wanting to give up her targeted loot, the three continued to run into one another. During one particularly heated dispute between the Pokemon and Gris, the commotion alerted the shopkeep, who alerted the the police. Fleeing immediately, the whacky trio ended up at the infamous Pyrite Lift at the same time, panting desperately. Though their encounter began with yet another growl from Gray, and a grimace from Gris, both the girl's and the puppy's stomach growled loud enough to induce an awkward silence. Grumpy but empathetic, Gris ultimately offered the two a small portion of her leftovers at home.
In the following months, the three became inseperable. Even their little heists improved. With Ella's Frisk serving to scout potential loot, Gris could easily sneak out with some fruit or bread while Gray howled for attention. It wasn't a great life, but the three had each other and made due. Ultimately, however, their scheme fell apart after The Under was shut down by the official. With no hideout to return to, Pyrite became increasingly aware of their shenanigans, leading to their eventual arrest.
When the trio was brought in to the Pyrite Police station, Gris asked the officers to excuse her Pokemon partners, which attracted the attention of a local researcher who had visited the station to retrieve some documements he had requested from the mayor. The love for Pokemon seemed just right to her goals. And so, the woman introduced herself as Izara. Wishing to bring some international glory to her homeregion, Izara tried her best to become a proper professor, though she was far from reaching her goal. Gris, confused, simply accepted any chance to get herself and her friends out of the mess she had been stuck in. With some sweettalk from Izara, the officers relented, letting Gris, Gray, and Ella leave with the locally renowned researched.
At first, none of the three rascals liked working for Izara, but over time, the research work and her companionship became dear to their hearts. After a year, Izara encouraged Gris to follow a path to become a proper trainer, deeming her intentions and heart just right for the profession. With the Chroma League on the horizon, it seemed a perfect opportunity. With an unusual amount of teary-eyed smiles and "I'll miss you"s, Gris, her Pokemon friends, and an egg she had received from Izara - who, in turn, had received it from a friend in Galar - left for Chromis.
