She helps at her parents watersports company on weekends Likes: Fire, surfing, reading, writing, drawing, pokemon battles Dislikes: Oranges, loud music, her nickname Talents: Drawing, raising pokemon, cooking Personality: Marie has a very tomboyish personality; indeed, if people didn’t know her or hadn’t seen her, they’d think she was a boy. She is very sporty, and extremely competitive. She’s cocky at times, but with good reason usually. However, under that exterior, she can be very intelligent. Background: When Marie was born, pokemon was the last thing on her parents’ minds. She was smart, she had artistic talents, and there was nothing holding her back. Then one day, when she was seven, she found an injured Vulpix by the road. Worried about the small creature, she took it home and nursed it back to health. With that began the start of a beautiful friendship, and her love of pokemon began. She went everywhere with her little Vulpi, who became a focal point of much of her art. The Vulpix had clearly grown attached to her as well, proven by when her parents tried to take the pokemon away; Vulpix found her way back. Eventually her parents reached a compromise with her parents; she could keep Vulpix if pokemon didn’t affect her studies. So while Marie started to learn more about sports (her parents hoped she’d grow up to be a teacher or coach), she studied pokemon part time. She had her first pokemon fight at 13 with a friend (which she won) and she got a second pokemon, a Seel, at 15. Although she wasn’t allowed to be an official trainer, due to the age restriction, she was fast gaining a reputation on Cinnabar Island. Which was when the nickname Princess Fire started circling. She hated it immediately, she wanted to just be treated like everyone else! When she was 16, she had the most surprising birthday present; a Fire Stone. That night, when she was sure Vulpix wanted it as well, she used the fire stone, and her cute little Vulpix became a large powerful Ninetails! Ninetails hasn’t lost a battle yet. Since finishing college (with top marks) she’s begun her training as a pokemon trainer. Although she still only has the two pokemon, she’s studied hard and made sure to train them in the perfect maneuvers. Working at her parents watersports company has helped with training Seel, and most people are amused to see her out on a surfboard with Ninetails! Pokemon: Ninetails. Main moves: Tackle Surf (specially trained!) Ember Fire Blast Seel. Main moves: Headbutt Horn Drill Ice Beam Surf (specially trained!)
