[b]Name:[/b] Seras Bancroft [b]Pokemon:[/b] Diancie [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Hometown:[/b] Verdanturf Town [b]Level:[/b] 37 [b]Ability:[/b] Clear Body [b]Moves:[/b] Dazzling Gleam, Ancientpower, Smack Down, Sharpen, Reflect, Stealth Rock [b]Legendary Powers:[/b] Seras can create diamonds by compressing carbon from the air, producing fist-sized gemstones almost instantaneously that can grow layer-by-layer over several seconds until becoming roughly head-sized. While concentrating on her powers, she can create and control roughly a dozen small gemstones or a handful of larger gemstones at once - while distracted or otherwise engaged, she can hold them stationary in the air without allowing them to fall. Seras can also manipulate the shape of her gemstones and fuse them together - although she cannot levitate any creations that are larger than her head, she can fashion bridges, barricades and various sculptures over the course of several minutes. [b]Held Item:[/b] Shell Bell [b]Appearance:[/b] Seras is built daintily, standing roughly 5'6" tall with a thin frame and a soft face perpetually lit by a contented smile. She wears her cherry pink hair down to her waist, occasionally braided for formal situations but usually flowing wild and free. Although she travels with a small range of outfits suitable for weather conditions across Hoenn, she favours loose garments in a range of blues and purples, occasionally matched with jewelry created through her powers. [hider=Character Art] [img]http://i.imgur.com/usDJ2Y4.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Seras is a gentle and nurturing soul, generous with her compassion and easily moved by the happiness of others. She has little patience for monotony or bland routines, preferring to chart new horizons with every footstep and seek the joy of fresh beauty or a stranger's smiling face. Although her confidence has grown immensely since melding with Diancie, her discomfort in face-to-face confrontations has not entirely passed - rather than outright fleeing from stressful situations, she prefers to diffuse situations using firm persuasion or quietly separate herself and those she cherishes from potential sources of conflict. Savoring the feeling of grass under her feet or the warm embrace of a friend, she aspires towards nothing more than savoring the world around her, travelling at her own pace and exploring the pleasure in every moment rather than chasing the future or clinging to the shackles of the past. She tends to communicate with others through meaningful gestures and comforting touch as much as with words - her talent for capturing the world through artwork has led her to create sculptures that capture the raw emotions of their subject as well as any speech. [b]Backstory:[/b] Born as the male-bodied heir to the Bancroft estate, Seras' early years were stained by intolerance and rigid expectations from her family. Between intense coaching on the family's export business, tutoring on proper etiquette and numerous reproachful lectures over her 'insufficient strength of character' from her father, it was made plainly apparent that her family expected her to grow into a cookie-cutter nobleman in order to maintain the family fortunes. Without a means of outwardly expressing her discomfort, Seras turned to the arts - painting, photography and especially sculpture. Although too young to fluently express her discomfort in words, she would purge her stress and anxiety through sculptures of herself as she lived in her dreams - cherub-faced, barefoot and with long, untamed hair billowing in the wind. After approaching her family when she was 18, Seras was informed in no uncertain terms that gender transition would be impossible - the affront to the family's reputation would be too great for them to indulge the 'baseless whims' of their child, let alone the personal indignity of acknowledging Seras as a daughter after years attempting to iron out any such notions. Arceus begged to differ. As the Power Plague escalated from a 'common' pandemic to a potentially god-slaying disease, Arceus searched for humans capable of partnering with each of the Legendary Pokemon, manipulating both the soul and (to a lesser extent) the physical form of their hosts. And while flowing pink hair and a newly feminine build wouldn't look unusual to most people, Seras' overnight transformation was enough to drive her father into wordless sputtering. Seras was over the moon. Despite her family's furious demands that she uphold her duties to their household, Legendary Pokemon or not, Seras swiftly packed her belongings and embarked on a journey across Hoenn, with no destination but the next crossroads and no goal but to escape from her parents and relish her newfound liberation. Her new powers quickly proved invaluable - after several weeks of trading gemstones at village markets, she gradually learned to meld and shape the gemstones she created into glittering figurines, selling awed townsfolk and gleeful children sculptures of their loved ones produced before their very eyes. As weeks turned to months and months turned to years, her journey grew into a new way of life - travelling to all of the major cities and landmarks of Hoenn, sharing the beauty she witnessed during her travels and earning a reputation across Hoenn as a wandering artist. Although her shameless use of her powers earned occasional glances of scorn or fear, such incidents did little to diminsh the joy she felt from sharing her creations with others - sharing both the beauty in the world which the sculptures reflected and the heart of the woman who sculpted them. Seras had never felt more content and genuine in her life.
