Name: Mia (MY-ah) Gallopian Age: 25 Birthday: Nov. 15th Occupation: Volunteers as a Librarian to read to the visiting kids. Works at a local food market in the morning and fast food at night. Residence: Lives in an apartment complex with her pokemon. Appearance: As one takes a look at Mia, her height is something to notice right away. She is very short for her race, 5'0ft to be exact. One can not tell if she is from where she said she is from until one hears her slightly strong accent. She tends to wear her glasses only in public and refuses anyone to see her without her glasses on. Though she is from a country known to have a population of blonds, she is a dark brunette with blue eyes and light olive skin. She also has some curves to her body so, she isn't as petite as people would think. History: Born and raised in Sweden, she chose to move over to America from abuse and terror from her family. She couldn't take it anymore so as soon as her 20th birthday, she took her life savings and flew with freedom and hopes of a new beginning in a whole new country. She lived with her aunt for a while before she could save enough money to find a place of her own. Though having a slow start, it was a challenge for her. For the next two years in the country, she took 2 jobs. One night and one day shift. After every day, she was exhausted for she only had a few hours to rest before she could go back to work. Her aunt saw how hard she was working and decided to help her out as well. Soon she had enough to pay for an apartment and 5 months worth of rent. She still works both jobs and took her extra time into reading books for children so that she could grab more of the American knowledge. Personality: independent, clumsy, hard-working, bashful, mature Pokemon Owned: 1 [hider=Pokerman] Pokemon: Larvitar Gender: M Ability: Guts Personality: Loud, disruptive, demanding, lazy, hiddenly kind Friendship & Affection: Mia and Larvitar had a rocky start to their friendship, but they learned to handle their differences and became closer than ever. Moves Used: Bite, Scary face, Payback, Rockslide History: Once Larvitar crashed into Mia's life, she had no idea what to do with the baby pokemon. She didn't even know what it was to start with but as soon as time past by she began to learn more about him. He loved to dig holes in the neighbors' yard and tear up their gardens as well. She began to take note of every one of his actions in detail. "No. 452 - Loves to eat dirt. Ugh." She continued to write until all of her journals were full to the lines! She still discovers a little more each passing day she spends with him. She loves him as if he was her own child. [/hider] Trivia: Mia prefers pie over cake due to bad cake experiences. Unless its cheesecake which she would kill for! Prologue: Mia was taking her walk to work one day as she saw something move in the bushes near a fenced park, she didn't mind it so she continued to walk. Next thing comes and again, a different bush this time. She grew curious and began to sneak up close to the rustling bush. The placed her hands upon the bush and quickly braced for what was coming! "Huh?" yet, nothing was there! But a lump in the ground. She continued to walk as if a bit paranoid. Mia didn't know what was cracking her dome until... right in front of her toes was a dinosaur looking animal shooting up from the underground! The baby larvitar was furious as it was hungry for a big meal! Not even the earth under the feet of the pokemon could feed it. Mia had her lunch for work in her bag but since it cost her a pretty penny she was not going to give it up for some street lizard! They battled against eachother head to head to take the meal of the day. Niether of them looked like it was going to be an easy battle, but they both fought well and hard until a band of police finds the two publically fighting! Larvitar jumped right into Mia's bag before she could think! Mia ran as fast as she could away from the police and right into the library which she worked. She took a sigh of relief and felt a slight growl in her stomach. So for her win, she reached in the bag to claim her prize. That until she opens the bag to reveal a happy, full, sleeping, larvitar cuddled with her sketchbook and notepad. She sighs and smiles as her shift ends and decides to take him home.
