[hider=Rowan Branchers][center][h2][u]Rowan Branchers[/u][/h2][/center]

[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] [center][url=http://i.imgur.com/T5NwYQ7.jpg][img]http://i.imgur.com/EEatMn7.jpg[/img][/url][/center]130 cm, 13 years old.

[b]Sex:[/b] Male.

[b]Personality:[/b] Positively shiny. Always positive and sure to try to be a saviour in need should the situation require it. He's relatively intelligent, but has yet to experience actual darkness should any such appear. He's a little shy around people, and may end up being the awkward one in a conversation, but his love for what he does is obvious. And he's of course quite obsessed with Pokémon shaped like felines.

Of course, he has no idea how much his own and his future Pokémon's personality will clash.

[b]Starter Town:[/b] Dewmeadow

[b]Biography:[/b] Rowan is just your average kid with strangely long blonde hair that grew up in Dewmeadow. Growing up with average parents that both work as gardeners for the meadow, he played with an average group of friends and eventually got old enough to grow interested in Pokémon. How could he not? They're everywhere! They're so fun! While he helped his parents with the garden, his friends were always running around with him seeking Pokémon and the like.

… And then there was that one time he came eye to eye with a Purrloin. She absolutely charmed him. Nevermind that she stole his entire lunch, THIS CREATURE IS ADORABLE! Sure, all other kinds of Pokémon are alright, BUT THIS THING! … Ever since that happened, Rowan has been BEGGING his parents and the nearby professor for one of those to be the Pokémon he was given. And, given his innocent desire and love for the creature (and those shining eyes which Rowan was begging with), why the heck not...?

Oh, if Rowan only knew what would happen when he finally got his Pokémon...

[b]Favored type:[/b] CAT! … What, that's not a type? In that case, Dark! … Because they're all sneaky and cool and such! (Nevermind that the trainer is the opposite of dark.)

[b]Favorite Pokémon:[/b] PURRLOIN! … And cat-Pokémon in general!

This doesn't mean Rowan won't catch other kinds of Pokémon. In case of necessity, he'll capture Pokémon that he finds cool enough to fulfil his requirements and can even become part of the team. But, he will prioritize animal Pokémon, and even beyond them he'll want cat-Pokémon. Haha.

[b]Why are you joining the Pokémon League?[/b] … What, isn't everyone? It's just, like, natural for Rowan that at this age a young boy will attempt to become a Pokémon Master!

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b] Because of his being raised by gardeners, Rowan knows everything there is to know about berries and regularly will be carrying a whole bunch of them in different types in his bag and will commonly be planting them and coming back when they should be about ready. Yepp.

[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/46/509Purrloin.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/b0sO4m8.png[/img][/url][/center] She's going to be wearing a red little scarf that Rowan put on her. He really likes red. Otherwise, typical Purrloin. 0.39 meters, 10 kilos.

[b]Sex:[/b] Female

[b]Personality/Mood:[/b] As any Purrloin, she shows a sweet, charming personality, but this is a ruse. She typically displays herself as a most graceful and loving creature, but if something annoys her or she becomes damaged in a fight then one heck of a violent temper might present itself. She can be very claw-happy in a bad mood. Also, she may act in a randomly clearly evil fashion that does not really qualify as sweet if she feels herself entitled to it. But, she'll always be right back in sweet cat mode when it suits her. Yupp.

[b]Nature:[/b] Naughty (+Attack, -Special Defense)

[b]Likes:[/b] Food, toys, technology, things extremely precious to other people, being treated like a god, posing for images, people stroking her ego, etc... Spicy things.

[b]Dislikes:[/b] Losing. People stealing from her. Being looked down on. Bitter things.

[b]Starting Moves:[/b] Scratch, Growl.

[b]Ability:[/b] Unburden. Gives a speed boost if Purrloin loses a held item. Held item breaks if dropped.

[b]Miscellaneous:[/b] May or may not have stolen her own Pokéball at times to prevent Rowan from being able to put her into it. Well, he's totally happy to have all his Pokémon out at times, but Purrloin might have stolen it whenever she doesn't want to be in a ball and he does. And, she needs no explanation for when she stole the ball. It just happens, she doesn't want to be in the ball, the ball has been stolen. Yupp.
--[/hider][hider=Questions. Gosh, I had fun with these.]1)	[i]You happen upon an injured Rattata in the middle of the path in front of you. You hear a sudden rustling from the large bushes on the path’s edge. Whatever is causing this noise has yet to reveal itself. What do you do?[/i]

Ah! A Pokémon is in danger! Let's save it! No injustice will pass as long as we- NO, PURRLOIN, DON'T EAT THE RATTATA! 
“Purr.” (Mine.)

2)	[i]An enormous Snorlax has wedged itself between the railings of a bridge over a raging river. It seems to be a long way’s journey to venture around the living water. Your destination is across the bridge. What do you do?[/i]

Th-that... ... ... ... KINDA LOOKS LIKE A GIANT CAT! C'MON, PURRLOIN, LET'S CATCH IT! SCRATCH ATTACK! 
“... ” (... Can't be bothered.)

3)	[i]You awaken in the middle of the night to find a Hoothoot rummaging through your pack and taking your food. Before you act, you notice two smaller, faint outlines on the horizon of the dying campfire light. The Hoothoot begins hopping towards her children with your food in tow. What do you do?[/i]

Awwwwww. It's feeding its children. Alright, I've been defeated this time. I'll let you go with just a- Purrloin, what are you doing? … PURRLOIN!? STOP FURY SWIPING THEM!
“PURR!” (DON'T STEAL PURRLOIN'S FOOD!)

4)	[i]You are walking with your Pokémon through thick forest when you hear a faint humming from the canopy above you. Quickly, a hive of Beedrill cuts through the foliage and descends toward you and your Pokémon. What do you do?[/i]

… … … … … … Purrloin, let's run.
“... … … … … … Purr.” (A rare occasion when we're in perfect agreement.)

5)	[i]You’ve defeated a trainer handedly, and you both call your Pokémon back into their Pokéball. The trainer falls to their knees and begins to weep.  The trainer is a younger individual who only had one, low-leveled bug Pokémon to face. What do you do?[/i]

Oh, don't be sad. I've been doing this for a long time now, you're just starting. Don't let this get you down. There will be a ton of new chances, and- … Purrloin, get down from the poor kid's head. Please. Don't look so very pleased with yourself. Just because he lost to you, doesn't mean he's now your property...
“Purr.” (Mine.)[/hider]
