Can you?"[/i] [img=http://blog-imgs-55.fc2.com/s/i/r/sirominosakana/maggyo.jpg][/center] [u][b]Usernames:[/u][/b] Liriia [u][b]Name:[/u][/b] Aleida [u][b]Age:[/u][/b] 25 [u][b]Gender:[/u][/b] Female [u][b]Allegiance:[/u][/b] None - She can't be bothered to care for the silly war. [u][b]Weapon:[/u][/b] A worn, wooden fishing rod. Though an odd choice for a weapon, Aleida uses it as effectively as possible. The end of the line is tipped with a straight, somewhat dull weight rather than a hook, and due to its user's somewhat pacifistic nature it is normally used to trip up opponents and keep them at bay while she attempts to escape the conflict. [u][b]Appearance:[/u][/b] A short, slender woman, Aleida is as average a person as they get... Save for the strange blue markings on her arms, legs, chest, and face. She is rather pretty, with a round, gentle face, soft brown eyes, and a cheery smile that can brighten even the stormiest of days. Her brown hair is short and layered heavily, which allows it to poof up under even the slightest hint of moisture in the air. She stands at about 5'3", weighing a mere 110 lbs, and as true to her weight she isn't exactly the strongest. She has trouble doing extreme exercise, and tires easily, much to Tidal's distress. When overexerted she is known to fall right asleep without a care in the world. Aleida often wanders with a dreamy expression on her face, moving slowly and softly through the land much like a dancer would. Her posture is rather bad, giving her a slight hunch when she sits, and she has a bad habit of pulling out strands of her hair when she is anxious. Light blue tattoos span across her body like stars, gathering below her eyes, around her neck, and all the way across her chest and down her back and legs. They are curiously designed with swirls and dots, and match the ones that dot Tidal's torso and face. Her outfit is rather revealing, with a simple tan cloak covering her top side and a long, pleated skirt covering her bottom. Bandages bind her legs, arms, and chest, hiding the odd, swirling patterns that paint her skin, and she normally has a leather bag over her right arm which holds most of her food and water and anything else that needs to be protected. She rarely wears shoes, and she feels constricted by normal clothes, which normally results in her free-flowing and skin-showing clothes. [u][b]Personality:[/u][/b] As true to her gentle appearance, Aleida is a warm and sweet person. She is naive and oblivious, often running headlong into danger without realizing it, much to Tidal's distress. Though air-headed, she is far from stupid, and when in a stressful situation she can be surprisingly logical, often looking deeper into the chaos to find a way out of the conflict. Her happy-go-lucky attitude is rather infectious, and she is almost never seen without a smile gracing her face. Though normally nice, if pushed too far it is possible to see another side of Aleida, a much harsher, stubborn side, though it does take a lot to really annoy the lax girl. Gentle and motherly, she loves to care for and look after people, finding a feeling completeness when she can be of help to someone. Despite her child-like personality, Aleida can be rather intense, often showing a much more dark side when in danger. Though she dislikes hurting other people and Pokemon, there are times when she can lash out, baring her teeth with an animal-like hiss, but Tidal does well to snap her out of such a phase. She truly dislikes fighting, often finding ways to avoid conflict with her limited resources, but despite this she is extremely brave and stubborn, never backing down from a challenge, despite knowing she may not be able to win. She may be clumsy and naive, but she knows right from wrong, and can often explode and yell at people who may have a different view from her. Thanks to her empathetic nature, she is rather good at bonding with Pokemon and people. There are times where Aleida believes she can hear the voices of the Pokemon around her, though it may just be her intuition and motherly nature telling her what the creature craves or how it feels. Her naivety is her biggest downfall, though, and she has gotten into a lot of trouble due to how easily trusting she can be. Other than that, Aleida loves fishing, napping, and nature in its purest form. She has a strong interest in water type Pokemon, and loves to swim with Tidal whenever she can. Hopelessly dreamy, Aleida constantly gets lost in her daydreams, and is easily distracted by beautiful things. She is very self-conscious of her tattoos, and very, very forgetful. She can often be found walking in circles without realizing it, and can sleep for an entire day if not awoken by an outside source. Naturally introverted, Aleida can get very tired from talking to other beings, and often has to rest on her journey due to her weak body. [u][b]Biography:[/u][/b] Aleida does not remember her home town, her allegiance, or her family. Her mind was blank, heavy, as if a blanket was draped over her brain, stopping her from remembering anything. It was a scorching day when she woke up in an unknown forest, this is the first memory. She was surrounded by trees and bushes, but where she lay was barren and cracked, a dead clearing in an otherwise lush environment. The sun was blaring down on her bare skin, burning the otherwise pale flesh, and everything ached, especially her head, and the second she was about to pass out from the sheer pain that she felt, water suddenly poured drenched her. A cry of a Pokemon, a familiar sound, claimed her half-conscious attention, and at the sight of the Vaporeon that sat just next to her head she remembers smiling and whispering, "Tidal-" Before falling into darkness again. Aleida was later found by a traveler and nursed back to health in a secluded cabin by a friendly family, and in this time she slowly began to realize how dire her situation was. She was in Ayero, an unknown nation to her, and she had a strong case of amnesia. The only thing she could truly remember was her first name, Aleida, and the Vaporeon that never left her side. Though generally confused and upset, she eventually left the family that helped her, feeling as if she were just a freeloader, and she began to wander. Walking across the landscape, she met many people and Pokemon, learning and relearning many things, and there are times when the blank spots in her mind would glow with familiarity, but they would soon vanish again as she was distracted by something. Her journey is simple; find her past, and with the help of Tidal, Aleida truly believes she'll be able to find herself once more.

The shape and location of the tattoos are similar to the ones that decorate Aleida, but instead of being blue they are pale yellow, making it somewhat difficult for Tidal to hunt in the water due to the bright color. [u][b][i]Personality:[/u][/b][/i] Tidal is an extremely protective companion, countering Aleida's naive nature with his own distrustful one. He is extremely cautious, though definitely has a motherly side and loves to care for those in need. Somewhat stubborn, he'll remain stoic until he gets his wish, though can be easily wavered when forced by Aleida. With a gentle gaze and a harsh bite, Tidal is Aleida's voice of reason at times, and he seems to have vowed to never leave her side. They are not a master and a pet, they are companions, partners. Friends. [u][b][i]Moveset:[/u][/b][/i] Surf, Wish, Acid Armor, Aurora Beam [u][b][i]Ability:[/u][/b][/i] Water Absorb - When hit by water or water-based moves, Tidal is able to absorb the attack and heal slightly. He is also somewhat unaffected by water-type moves.[/hider]
