[color=#07742a][b]Name:[/b][/color] [indent][i]Sidine "Sid" Damon[/i][/indent] [color=#07742a][b]Age:[/b][/color] [indent][i]19[/i][/indent] [color=#07742a][b]Height:[/b][/color] [indent][i]5'7''[/i][/indent] [color=#07742a][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [indent]Sid has a lithe, well toned body from her years outdoors. Accompanying her tanned complexion is a mop of thick, unruly long black hair that flows down to the back of her thighs that she keeps braided as much as possible. In her heart shaped face rest big green eyes above a long nose (Greecian) and lips that always seem to be smiling. Across her cheeks and nose she has a myriad of freckles. She wears a pair of large, square-framed glasses. She wears an emerald-green coat with an upturned fur collar framing her face, which she normally keeps unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up to the crook of her elbows. Underneath her coat, she wears a variety of tank tops, typically with vibrant colors and designs on them that depict bug Pokemon. On her legs, she combos black shorts over leggings that match her coat, and simple black boots with silver buckles that reach mid-calf. On her hands are black fingerless gloves. She carries around a magnifying glass with her that she uses to inspect things.[/indent] [color=#07742a][b]Personality:[/b][/color] [indent]If there's one thing to say about Sid, it's that she's an incorrigible bug-Pokemon enthusiast. Wherever there's bug Pokemon to be found, Sid will be climbing up trees and crawling through bushes to find them and study them. When she gets into contact with humans and other Pokemon, she will often compare them to bug Pokemon. She's a “action before thought” sort of girl, who will leap into dangerous situations before realizing how much trouble she could potentially be putting herself, and others, in. That isn't her fault though, her love for the unknown is endless – and, she believes, worthy of the danger she might entangle herself in. She can be rather melodramatic when things don't go her way, but she's a generally chipper girl with too much energy for her own good.[/indent] [hider=History] Sid was originally born in Gillsenville, and around the age of 11 she and her family moved to Trimdale. She didn't know much of what was happening, other than her parents seeming very panicked as they whisked their family away to the middle of nowhere. Initially, Sid wasn't pleased with their arrangements, as it meant leaving the dojo she was attending, as well as all of her friends, to start anew. She was sullen and withdrawn, and spent alot of her time alone, climbing trees and generally moping about how [i]unfair[/i] and how [i]boring[/i] her life was. That was, until one fateful day when a Venipede literally fell on her as she was walking through the forest surrounding the city. At first, she was scared and frightened. Bug Pokemon were never really her thing, except... This one was injured! She knew that he wouldn't survive out here, whoever or whatever had done this was surely close-by, so she smuggled him home and into her room. He had been too weak to struggle against her, even though he seemed frightened of her as well. She cared for Venipede secretly, patching his wounds up, feeding him, and trying to get him to understand that she meant no harm. It took a few weeks – and a few bites – before the Venipede finally calmed down enough that she could carry him back out into the forest. When she had tried to set him free so that he could live his life out in the wild, he had instead chosen to stay with her and claimed her as his own. That's how Sid's life as a bug Pokemon enthusiast began. She and Venipede, who she eventually named Ramsey, became inseperable. After documenting and studying bug Pokemon in the Trimdale area for many years, she decided to set out into the rest of the world, to find all of the bug Pokemon the world has to offer... and then study them! With Ramsey at her side, of course.[/hider] [color=#07742a][b]Preferred Starter:[/b][/color] [indent]Venipede[/indent] [hider=Venipede] [color=#07742a][b]Name/Nickname:[/b][/color] Ramsey [color=#07742a][b]AL:[/b][/color] 20 [color=#07742a][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male ♂ [color=#07742a][b]Ability:[/b][/color] Speed Boost [color=#07742a][b]Moveset:[/b][/color] Protect, Poison Jab, Iron Defense, Bug Bite [/hider] [hider=Bag Items] National Pokedex, sleeping bag, bug nets, various sketchbooks and notebooks, some antidotes and potions among other food items.
