While he isn't necessarily vain, he does like to take care of his appearance. He carries around a mirror, and often consults it when he feels like he needs a confidence boost. He also doesn't particularly care for getting himself dirty either. Due to the fact that he feels there is a lack of nice clothes for men, he likes to make his own clothes to suit his own tastes. He also has a passion for cute and pretty things. It's the reason why he likes the Fairy type. The Pokemon under it are gorgeous. Anything he perceives to be adorable whether it be a person or a Pokemon makes him squeal excitedly. He also has several childish interests as well. He likes candy and other sweets, and he has a rather large collection of fashion dolls that he makes clothes for, as well as cute Pokemon plushies, and his room is decorated with posters with characters from his favorite cartoons. Liam is adorable, and he knows it. He does use it to his advantage if he knows if it will benefit him somehow. Usually to flirt with guys, or get himself out of trouble when they get mad at him. Due to his small size, and child like appearance, he is often perceived as being weak. This has earned him both the ire of bullies who liked having an easy target, as well as the care of nicer people who felt like they had protect him. He works out regularly to compensate for this, but people still coddle him. He considers it both a blessing because it gets him attention and people think he's cute, and a curse because some people underestimate him. He works hard to prove himself, such as staying up late to study, or consistently practicing a new skill. The one thing he hates most is a bully. He has been the victim of it in his youth, so seeing somebody get picked on makes him angry. When he does get bullied, he'll usually respond with some sassy comment, and act like it doesn't bother him, but it does get to him. He doesn't understand why so many people have problems with boys liking pink. Regardless, Liam is a cheerful optimistic person. He is often seen with a smile on his face, and acting like life is all cupcakes and rainbows. He believes it's easier to live life when you expect the best than expecting the worst. This does not mean that he is never sad. He cries openly when he's sad, but it doesn't take much to make him feel better. He is also very affectionate. He likes giving, and receiving hugs, and often gets very close to people. He develops crushes on guys rather easily. These qualities make him a natural flirt. While he likes people in general, he is attracted to other males. You can often find him staring at, and flirting with guys he finds attractive. In general he is an emotional person, and expresses all of his feelings openly. When he is happy, he is ecstatic. When he is sad, you'll see him bawling. The occasions when he gets angry, he screams, shouts, and acts rashly. While he seems childish at times, Liam is a happy, fun loving young man, who just wants to be accepted for who he is. [B]History:[/B] Liam was born to a wealthy, prominent family in a region beyond the sea. His family contained a long line of skilled trainers, and Liam was expected to carry on that tradition. As a child, his parents put him in prestigious private schools in order to get the best education possible. Growing up, Liam learned he was never interested in the things typical boys were interested in. He liked cute little ponies, and Barbie dolls while most boys liked playing with toy cars and football. He also preferred Pokemon like Clefairy and Jigglypuff where the other boys were obsessed with Charizard and Garchomp. This made him the target of bullying by other boys. This made him the target of bullying by other boys. here was one particular boy who gave him a hard time. A guy named Ryuki. He liked Dragon types, and had aspirations of being a rock star as well as being a Dragon type gym leader. He gave Liam a very hard time, making fun of his interests, and calling him a whimp, among other insulting nicknames. He also got his other friends to join in on the bullying. At first, Liam didn't really care. He would just play with the girls. They played better anyway. They were just words anyway. However, the fact that it was constant, and stop no matter how much Liam tried to be nice to him only made Liam upset. Things became different when he started high school. While other boys were interested in girls, he wasn't. He attended a elite boarding school, so he shared a room with another boy. Sure, there were there cute girls at the school, but he found his male roommate more attractive than any girl. He kept his attraction to guys a secret for a while, but that didn't last long, as it was getting hard to keep the secret. First, because it was starting to become awkward with his roommates, and also because Liam just had a really hard time keeping something like this to himself. He told his roommates first, and he was surprisingly alright with it. He told his family about it when he returned home for the Summer, and they were also fully supportive of him, much to Liam's relief. After that, he started flirting with boys openly. Of course, not everyone was supportive of Liam being gay. Ryuki was also a student at the same school Liam attended, and he hadn't changed at all since they were kids. The bullying got worse since he came out as gay. Now things escalted to physical violence. He would often be beaten up by Ryuki and his group of friends simply because they could. He told other adults what was going on, but it only served to make things worse. Needless to say, Ryuki is the only person Liam can say he truly hates. Liam's favorite Pokemon were Fairy type Pokemon. They were adorable, but powerful and not to underestimated, which is why he liked them. After he graduated, he became a Gym Trainer at a local Fairy type Gym, in order to get first hand experience of being a Gym Leader. There, he trained under the Gym Leader to learn everything he could about the Fairy type. He occasionally battled against other trainers that came to challenge the leader. Also during this time, he decided he didn't want to be viewed as a whimp, and a bullying victim. So, he started working out and getting stronger in order to compensate for his lack of height. While he enjoyed his time there, and made friends with his fellow gym trainers, he was a little annoyed that he was the only male trainer in the entire gym. Weren't there other boys who liked Fairy type too? He was a loyal gym trainer for two years. One day, the gym leader announced her retirement. He was surprised when she announced that she had chosen Liam as her successor. He was certain he would pick one of the girls. Liam happily accepted the job, and was now a Gym Leader. Over time he became a very popular leader in the region. He ran into Ryuki again at the annual gym leader conference. He had hoped to never see him again after completing school, but somehow he had managed to become a Gym Leader, much to Liam's surprise. He always seemed like such a slacker back at school. He had hoped the years out of school had made him a nicer person, but of course it hadn't. They didn't speak at all during the conference, but Liam could tell based on his interactions with others, that he was the same jerk he had always been. Which is why he wasn't at all upset to hear that he had been murdered. [B]Other:[/B] He has a lot of other Fairy type Pokemon back at the Gym, these are just the six Pokemon he brought to the convention.

[B]History:[/B] Liam met Swirly when he was a Swirlix, while on a trip to a local amusement park. He was eating the cotton candy, and causing problems for the guy running the cotton candy stand. Of course, Liam had to have a Swirlix the moment he saw it. It was pink, a fairy, and looked like candy. Liam battled it, caught it, and raised it into the Slurpuff he is today.

He's a bit of a shy one though, and has a hard time expressing his feelings. He gets very affectionate with people he actually knows though. [B]History:[/B] Liam went into a haunted house in his native region specifically to catch a Mimikyu. The instant he found one, and a Mimikyuium Z, he left that place as quickly as possible. Liam was not the biggest fan of scary places.

He prides himself on his appearance, and hates to get himself dirty, and thus he rarely takes part in a battle. Instead he usually supports the rest of the team with support moves. He can fight, he just doesn't do it all that much. [B]History:[/B] Eevees and their evolutions are very popular Pokemon. Naturally, Liam knew he wanted to add a Sylveon to his team of fairies. So he caught himself an Eevee, raised him, and evolved him into a Sylveon.

He sometimes still does that even now. He likes to put on a show and get attention. It frustrates him greatly when people don't pay him any attention. While he was trained to be used in the Gym, Liam doesn't often use him in battles, and is usually just there for entertainment in the gym. [B]History:[/B] Jacques was the offspring of the previous Gym Leader's Mr. Mime. She picked the nickname, but Liam got to keep the Mime Jr. after she retired, and Liam held on to it, and raised the Pokemon with the others.
