[b]Name:[/b] Katherine "Kat" Wesson

[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Appearance:[/b]

Katherine Wesson (though she always goes by Kat) stands at 5"3 with long, dark brown hair that goes down to her lower back. Her eyes are a warm shade of brown, almost like hot chocolate. She's very small, with a thin frame. Her fingernails are painted a light pink, though they're chipped at the tips. Her hair always seems to be a bit messy, as if perpetually tossed by the wind. Strapped to Kat's back is a guitar case which holds her prized possession: an acoustic guitar that she takes everywhere she goes. While it's heavy, she never complains, as she is extremely attached to it.

[hider=Personality/Motivation]

Kat is a very calm, laid-back person. She takes everything in stride, and rarely becomes angry. She seems to be perpetually relaxed, almost to a fault, as it can appear that she doesn't take dire situations seriously. This is less due to apathy, and more because she believes that things will work out as they must. Even when discouraged, she clings to her faith that everything is as it should be. She is a strong believer in fate and destiny. At the same time, almost paradoxically, she is very free-spirited and independent. Kat is a loyal friend, and one that anybody would be glad to have. While she is competitive, she can also take a loss well, choosing to learn from it rather than become bitter.

Kat has two passions in life: Pokémon and music. The guitar strapped on her back is one of the most important things in the world to her; it is second only to her best friend, a female Eevee named Aria. The two are practically inseparable, to the point of where they get anxious if the other isn't around. As such, Aria prefers to walk alongside Kat rather than stay in a Pokeball. The two take care of each other, in that while Kat provides personal care for her Pokemon, Aria protects her trainer. The two trust each other greatly, as they have been together for years.

Kat's music is a great source of pride for her. She takes her guitar everywhere with her, despite the fact that it gets heavy after a while. She never seems to complain about the weight, though. Whenever Kat has a bit of spare time, she'll bring the guitar over her shoulder and play it for a while, usually singing along as well. Her voice has a soft, sweet sort of sound that matches her guitar. However, she's a bit shy when it comes to playing in front of people she doesn't know very well. But Kat is always willing to play for Aria, and the little Eevee will occasionally hum along in a high-pitched tone.

[hider=History]

Katherine Wesson grew up in the Hoenn Region, though her mother comes from Alola. She grew up in Slateport City, and as such, she grew up near both contests and battling alike. Living just down the street from a Battle Tent and a Contest Hall, she became fascinated with both from a young age. Her parents, both being captains that worked in the Slateport Harbor, gave Kat a sense of familiarity with the ocean as well. She was raised in a good environment, as her parents were both very loving. Being captains of their own separate ships, Kat's parents were both pretty well off by the time she was born.

However, both of Kat's parents were gone a lot during her childhood due to their occupations, as they had to travel frequently. Kat became pretty well acquainted with several family friends that would watch her while her parents were gone. Even when one parent was home, the other was usually gone. It was understandably lonely for her, but thankfully, she had Aria with her. Aria herself was a keepsake of sorts for Kat's mother, as she caught the Eevee shortly before she left Alola for Hoenn. While the Eevee technically belonged to Kat's mother, she was always Kat's Pokemon. Because Kat has had Aria since she was born, the two are extremely close.

It was a friend of her parents that taught Katherine to play the guitar. She started when she was just nine years old, and as such has gotten very good at it over time. It was music that comforted Katherine when she was missing her parents, and she has remained dedicated to becoming better with her guitar as a result. But music certainly wasn't her only interest; at around the age of eleven, Kat started watching the battles that would regularly be held in the Battle Tent. It was the sight of trainers working in harmony with their Pokemon that inspired Kat to become a trainer herself.

Years later, when Kat was fifteen, her parents were able to stay home more often, as they now sailed around the Hoenn Region rather than sailing out to other regions. It was around this time that she announced her decision to become a trainer and set out on a journey of her own. Even she herself found the decision to be strange; she spent a great deal of her life missing her parents, and now she planned on leaving them? But her parents were very supportive, as they'd both been trainers when they were her age. It was how they'd met, in fact; so, on her sixteenth birthday, their birthday present to her was a free ride out to the Alola Region, with enough supplies to keep her on her journey.

She'd chosen the Alola Region because she'd heard of the League that had recently been created by the region's Professor. Kat decided it was as good a place as any. So, with her parents at the helm, she sailed off to Alola with Aria at her side. She arrived at the Melemele Ferry Terminal with a bag, her guitar, and her Eevee, ready to begin the next chapter of her life. After bidding her parents a bittersweet goodbye, she received a letter from Professor Kukui himself, inviting her to a festival the next evening. Deciding a festival would be a good way to start, she headed off, eager to start her adventure.
