[b]Name:[/b] Amy Cooper
[b]Age:[/b] 12
[b]Pronouns:[/b] She/Her
[b]Appearance:[/b] Amy is a young girl with large, inquisitive blue eyes. Her blonde hair falls all the way down her back, and has a slight wave to it. There are natural highlights and darker locks all throughout, which give her a somewhat unique appearance. She usually wears a navy-blue one-piece that has a frilled skirt and a white collar, along with some long dark socks and practical athletic shoes. But she also carries a red jacket in her backpack that belonged to her father when he was her age. She sometimes wears it when she wants to feel especially confident, or close to him. Amy has nice silver earrings and looks rather put-together overall, like she comes from a wealthy family. 

[b]Background:[/b] Amy was born to a renowned Pokemon researcher. Although he was often away from home doing field work, the young girl absolutely adored and idolized her father. Every time he came home it was like an unscheduled holiday. He was able to provide a nice life for his wife and daughter, so Amy never really wanted for much. They lived in a large house, and she was sent to a prestigious private school. Amy began to develop a cool-headed and investigative personality, perhaps out of a desire to impress her father and her peers. She focused more on her studies rather than extra-curricular activities, and her efforts really paid off. In place of a club, she would often be taken on hikes in the forest by a family friend, which gave her a chance to play, let loose, and develop some survival skills. Those weekends were some of her most exciting memories, and they helped give her the courage to make her family proud and become a Pokemon trainer. 

[b]First choice:[/b] Charmander
[b]Key Item:[/b] Unown Report - a detailed copy of research carried out by her father at the ruins of Alph. The findings have yet to be published. The subject is a rare and practically unknown type of Pokemon which look like letters. Amy has taken an interest in them as well. (Trying to set up a plot hook for later on in the story. I'm hopeful that we can eventually do something interesting with them)
[b]Wishlist:[/b] Ghastly, Abra, Riolu, Smeargle, and of course, the Unown. [/hider]
