[hider=Maira Keoni - WIP] [center]Trainer Name: Maira Keoni Age: Twelve Trainer Class: High-Tech Maniac Class Bonus: Maira is a gamer, and while she won't admit it, a proficient hacker. She can use her computer to learn information, such as what pokemon her opponents register, or even learn what the judges prefer(if such things are on a computer). Region: Maira was born in Alola, but moved to Kalos when she was six. Team Information: Maira was placed into team Apicot. Appearance: [img]https://img00.deviantart.net/e9c5/i/2014/107/d/f/shiro_tan_by_kazenokaze-d7et3gi.png[/img] Personality: Shy - Maira is not shy in an anti-social way, in fact she is quite comfortable around people, even if she's put in the spotlight. Seeing her sociality, you might even wonder why those who know her say she's shy, well touch her and you'll find out. Maira isn't afraid of physical contact, she's not going to suddenly pull away, or freeze up. Rather, she has what others might describe as an odd reaction, the slightest handshake making her light up like a christmas tree. Her friends have even theorized that if someone were to hug her she would literally die of emberassment. If one were to ask her why she turns red every time another human comes into contact with her, she would respond with something along the lines of 'people feel weird'. Intelligent - Maira's father was a scientist, and some might credit him for her intelligence, though anyone who watches her would learn that while that might be partially true, she actually studies and works hard. She is more book-smart than she is street-smart, and it's obivous that she still has plenty to learn, both about life in general and pokemon battles. Though, despite her age and lack of experience it's clear that she is able to devise excelent strategies given enough time, her on the spot plans tend to fall apart pretty quickly though. Blunt - Maira tends to have a lack of social elegance, she might be social and liable to start, or continue, any given conversation, but she doesn't really pull her punches. If she thinks you dress strange, she will say so, if she dislikes you, she will say so. This isn't neccesarily a bad thing, as this goes for compliments as well. This also means she is both excellent, and horrible at keeping secrets. If say, she catches you sneaking off on some secret rendezvous, and you ask her to keep it secret, she will until someone asks why you are missing, if nobody asks the secret will remain. Trainer Stats: Cooking - 9 - Before she could go out on her own both Maira's parents insisted that she know how to cook. After all, both she and her partner's would need to eat and restaurants get expensive real quick. So, she learned how to cook a few basic things, and while journeying challenged herself to learn new things, even entering a few cooking competitions. Style - 5 - Bringing out the natural talents of a pokemon is a trainers number one job. Above battling, above performing, above all else a trainer should be able to bring out their partner's talents. This is a core belief that her father, a breeder, instilled into Maira at a young age. She doesn't try to make a pokemon what it isn't, rather she helps guide them in whatever way they are meant to go. Styling - 3 - Maira isn't above putting a bow, or maybe a fancy collar on her partners if they want them, or brushing their fur coat if they have one, but for the most part dressing a pokemon is a foreign concept to her. In her mind pokemon are already perfectly 'styled', some people even strive to look like pokemon with fashion choices, so why should the pokemon be covered up? Battle Knowledge - 1 - Battling isn't Maira's forte. It's not that she doesn't have the knowledge, she graduated from trainer school early and at the top of her class, but rather she's not good at reacting. She tends to overthink, if she goes into a battle with a plan and everything functions as intended she seems like an expert, throw her a curveball however and she'll question every action after, trying to figure out how to get back on to the original battle plan, rather than rolling with the punches and simply trying to win.

Maira often calls her Nani, but will correct others if they do so. Stats: Pokemon Showdown, Team Builder, Screen Shot Personality: Haunani is both a team player, yet also seems to not work well with others, this being the first time she and Keahi have been separated, and it's obvious that she's missing part of herself. Despite that, she is protective of Maira and is glad that even though they both couldn't come at least she could. Outside of combat Nani gives off an air of calm and elegance, seeming to shrug off most things. She is fond of her fur being brushed, and while she doesn't mind getting her fur dirty if necessary she will expect to be cleaned as soon as possible. In combat she retains her calm elegance, but seems to also be rather violent, not hesitating to pull out her best moves, sometimes without or against orders from Maira. Usually, she has Keahi to balance her out, so now she feels she has to make up for some lost strength. How you met: Haunani was a gift from her father, or rather half of one. When they moved from Alola to Kalos Maira's father gave her two pokemon eggs. Most kids her age only had experience with family pokemon, rarely having one they could call their own, Maira was bribed with two. When the eggs hatched, both were vulpixes, though one was white, the other red. She raised these two vulpixes together, and they went everywhere with her. After going through trainer school, she decided she wanted adventure, and she was sure her vulpixes could take her anywhere, that there was no challenge they couldn't surpass. It took some convincing, her being a whole two years younger than most who start a journey, but her parents let her go. She came upon her first gym, and challenged it, losing the battle rather quickly. She took the opportunity as an experience, and after learning everything she could about the gym leader's team, she returned and challenged them again. This time however, she lost even faster than the first time, at this time she was ready to call it quit and head home, if she couldn't even surpass her first challenge the future seemed hopeless. Haunani and Keahi however didn't want to give up so easily, and when she said she wanted to go home, they ran off towards the gym, her giving chase. By the time she caught up, both the vulpixes seemed to be challenging the leader themselves, and he accepted. She watched, as they together in a double battle easily did what they seemed unable to do apart. The leader of the gym confronted her afterwards, and told her that he couldn't give her a badge for the victory since it wasn't an official battle, but instead he gave her two stones, telling her he liked the spirit of her vulpixes. It wasn't until a year later that she, and her vulpixes, decided it was time to use the stones, after which they went back to the gym and she challenged it again, this time leaving with the badge.
