Casual Clothing: Wes has always been unconcerned with his clothes. He wears a simple white shirt, a pair of old, faded jeans, and sneakers. He always keeps a pair of fingerless black gloves on. 

Uniform: Wes' uniform isn't all that different from his casual wear – he'll put on a black leather jacket (the nicest thing he owns) or if it's too warm for that, a purple polo shirt. 

Backstory: Wesley "Wes" Toma was born an only child to a single, teenaged mom in Mauville. His home life growing up was not a happy one. His mother's parents kicked her out after they discovered the pregnancy, forcing the two of them to struggle on their own. For a teenaged girl trying to manage a job without a high school education while raising a child, life was a stressful and frustrating thing. She often took those frustrations out on Wes in the form of acid words and biting, blaming looks. 

And so Wes grew up independent and withdrawn. He was a brilliant, hard working boy, but seemed detached from the people around him. When he was twelve years old he learned about Lumi Academy, a prestigious boarding school at the edge of the region. From then on he was determined to attend the academy in the hopes of escaping his situation. He applied himself more than ever in class and got multiple jobs – since his mom certainly wouldn't be paying for it. 

When he was sixteen, he was accepted with a hefty scholarship to help out. At Lumi he's a hardworking student in the top tier of most of his classes. But he never quite grew out of his introverted nature, and still holds himself apart from his peers. Wes is eighteen now, nearing the end of his schooling. But as graduation grows closer he finds a new stress bubbling up inside of him. Because while Wes excels in almost all his subjects, he still has no idea what he wants to do with his life besides "escape".

Other:
– Wes has a reputation as one of the most frustrating people to battle on campus. Good thing he doesn't battle much. 
– He carries a Pokemon egg with him at all times that he's very protective of. He doesn't know what'll hatch from it yet.
