She grew up in the sunny town of Cianwood, which blessed her with rough, tanned skin and a near immunity to the sun's harmful rays. Long, pale brown hair falls down to her waist, and is normally tied at the base to hold it together during her more exciting adventures. Blue eyes glare out from beneath side swept bangs and rather thick eyebrows curve downwards when Sybil is either concentrating or angry. Her face is round, and her features cute, with large eyes, a small nose, and doll-like lips, and her body is small and curvy. Muscles line her arms and legs from years of physical training and cave exploration. Normally, Sybil can be found in a yellow rain poncho, with the hood up to shield her face and her body surrounded in sleek, yellow fabric. Underneath she wears a blue-white striped tank top, a short, dark blue parka, and jean shorts that fall just above her lower thigh. Hiking boots are the norm for footwear, and she has a strange looking bracelet, inscribed with ancient runes, on her right wrist. (5'2"; 120 lbs) Horribly Rough Sketches [url=http://41.media.tumblr.com/008af516431fe57aa650cf9af86023ba/tumblr_nksvxx4zzU1rtsh7fo1_1280.jpg]+[/url] [url=http://40.media.tumblr.com/1ae234ccbdd647f085beeb01659c409c/tumblr_nksvxx4zzU1rtsh7fo2_1280.jpg]+[/url] [url=http://41.media.tumblr.com/20e8d604c353a6282c5c7ae9afc95a6d/tumblr_nksvxx4zzU1rtsh7fo3_1280.jpg]+[/url] Personality: Cold, blunt, yet surprisingly empathetic, Sybil isn't exactly as mean a girl as she could be. Spending most of her life in caves or museums has really taken out her people skills, and while she has been able to grow extremely close to Pokemon quite quickly it is quite the opposite for humans. Growing up with a Historian and an Archaeologist has lead Sybil to be a rather knowledgeable girl. She can read most ancient languages, and has a keen eye for rocks and fossils, as well as anything else that piques her interest. Her thirst for adventure is heavy, and she is not afraid to get down and dirty when the ideal quest comes along. Sybil often jokes that if there is a rare artifact at stake she would give her life to protect it, and though she may laugh about it she does entirely believe this to be true. During battles she is focused and cunning, as well as observant, and while she isn't exactly to knowledgeable on battling she knows her Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses and uses them to her advantage. She is easily annoyed by whiners and beggars, and can resort to harsh yelling if pushed to her breaking point. Her way of speaking is very blunt and can be hurtful to those with a weak conscious, even though she really doesn't mean any harm. Sybil is happiest when she is with either her closest friends/family or friendly Pokemon since she feels as though she can always trust them. When completely and utterly relaxed and calm around her friends Sybil can appear to be more playful and kind, maybe even a bit clingy, and if she feels truly safe around you she may hold onto your arm, hand, or clothing. She can be very protective of her closer colleagues, defending them with the entirety of her being, and she has a strong, liberal sense of justice. Despite appearing somewhat cold around strangers, Sybil is easily effected by other's emotions, and can almost seem bipolar in crowds due to the fact that there are just so many feelings to pick up on. Due to these emotional swings she prefers to stay away from large groups of people or Pokemom, much preferring those she has gotten to know or can feel relaxed around. Despite her somewhat antisocial behavior, Sybil is plagued with Monophobia, or the fear of being alone, and because of this she is almost always craving travel partners. Profession: Trainer Talents: Extremely knowledgeable in many ancient languages. Can distinguish stones and fossils particularly well and has a knack for exploring caves and ruins. Somewhat empathetic as well, making her good at guessing what others are thinking/feeling simply by being near them and observing them.

Level: 2 Moves: Tackle, Harden Ability: Sturdy Nature: Rash Biography: Hailing from Cianwood City in the Johto region, Sybil had a rather peculiar childhood. Her parents, though always busy with work, loved to teach her about rocks and fossils and history whenever they had the chance. They loved her dearly, and wished to share their knowledge to make her as bright as can be. Her father, Rodger Goldon, even took her on a few (easier) expeditions when she was old enough to go along, and Eryn, her mother, constantly taught her how to read and write with many ancient scripts. Sybil was instantly attached to cave exploration and treasure hunting, and once she hit the age of eight she instantly began wandering the nearby towns in search of caves to explore and ruins to investigate. Days underground exploring or inside studying didn't exactly give Sybil a lot of choices when it came to friends, leaving her to be somewhat of a loner. Eventually, her father's work sent him out of town and soon out of the region, leaving Sybil alone to turn over already turned over stones and sigh with boredom as her mother became much more intense towards her work. After finding all she can around the nearby towns and losing interest in watching her mother's back, Sybil turned to the Pokemon Seer on the island for fun. She visited that elderly woman everyday with questions and thoughts, and in return she managed to learn a bit about the emotions and levels of Pokemon. Though she didn't have much of an interest in Pokemon earlier in life, in her pre-teen years she became very much entranced with their habits and feelings. While exploring caves she also took a moment to glance at the Zubat nests and smile, feeling their serenity though she wasn't sure how. Chris eventually got to know many of the cave and sea Pokemon around town, though never truly caught any of them to train or battle. She simply enjoyed venting to them and watching them in their natural habitat. One time while exploring the Cliff Edge Cave for the twentieth time (probably), Sybil stumbled across an odd egg. Totally abandoned, covered in dust and deathly cold. She took no time to scoop it up and take it home. After allowing it to lay in the warm sun for a few hours it moved, only slightly, and Sybil watched over it daily, caring for it like a mother. The first time it moved was a month after Sybil discovering it, surprisingly. On the same day, Sybil's mother approached her with a ticket; apparently her father had received a spare pass to Kanto by mistake and, with permission from mother of course, wondered if Sybil would like to explore a new region. She took the slip in a heartbeat, nodding enthusiastically, and it seemed the egg could feel her excitement as well, for it started moving to and fro with sudden liveliness. In the next week, she was packed and shipped off to Pallet Town. Her father had mentioned something about her joining the Pokemon League, and though Sybil felt a bit skeptical due to her lacking knowledge on battling he assured her it would be a good learning experience. On the boat ride over, the egg suddenly hatched, revealing the mysterious Pokemon to be a very, very small Aron. Sybil quickly thought up a name for the small being, Lapis, which would be Latin for stone. He was a gluttonous little thing, and Sybil quickly grew fond of him despite his constant attempts to chew at the steel railings that lined the ship. With a new region to explore, a Pokemon League to attempt, and her first Pokemon under her belt, Sybil decided to look towards the future with ambition. Shortly after her arrival to Pallet Town, Eryn Goldon received a call from one of Kanto's archaeologists. Apparently, Rodger Goldon had gone missing after a sudden cave collapse in Mount Moon. Sybil has yet to be informed. Notes/Other: Sybil's father can be used for any plots you have in mind, in case you need some smart fellow or an archaeologist in the future. [/hider]
