Jubilife City

Stands at about 5'6 and 131 pounds. Prefers to wear clothing that's more casual in style. 

[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u]
Cheerful and hot-blooded, Alisa welcomes excitement and challenge. She's constantly seeking thrills, having a craving for adventure. Energetic in general, Alisa has a zest for life and is generally friendly towards most people at first glance, thinking nothing of a casual battle just to test each other's abilities and just for fun. 

Unlike what her personality would imply at first glance, though, Alisa is more cunning than she looks. In both life and battle, she's not one to let an opportunity pass her by. Outright research and study isn't her forte, but she's rather adept at lateral thinking and creative approaches. She prefers to stay versatile in battles, mixing in tricks and misdirection alongside brute force. 


[u][b]Short Biography:[/b][/u]
Born and raised in Jubilife to a pair of professional Pokemon breeders, Alisa was raised alongside Pokemon since she was young. Her parents made their living breeding competitive Pokemon for career Trainers, and so Alisa grew up interacting with both Pokemon and professional Trainers, hearing stories of battling and adventure from visiting aces whenever they came to pick up their Pokemon. 

As she grew older, Alisa found herself helping her parents with their breeding business. Outside of providing freshly bred Pokemon for professionals, her parents also had a brisk side business of an ordinary Pokemon Day Care's functions, which included light training. Alisa took the job seriously, ensuring that at the very least, Pokemon left with her parents' business didn't have their skills and experience atrophy from idleness. 

In her free time outside of school and work, Alisa wound up at a local battling facility in Jubilife that specialized in supplying rented Pokemon, given that she wasn't allowed to borrow Pokemon being raised by her parents. As it turned out, listening to professional Trainers since childhood meant that she at least had some idea of what she was doing in a battle, and Alisa quickly started racking up wins and making a name for herself in the local circuits. 

It was at one of these rental tournaments that Alisa caught the eye of one of her parents' clients. The pro Trainer and former Gym Challenger hadn't realized that her local breeders' daughter was at least competent, and this quirked her interest enough that she arranged Alisa's sponsorship into the next year's Gym Challenge. 

Alisa was delighted when she found out, having wanted to strike out on her own adventure for years. Her parents were slightly more reserved on the matter, but arranged to have a Pokemon for her by the time the competition started. They gifted her with a recently-hatched Honedge, given her fondness for Aegislash, and Alisa spent the next few months until the Gym Challenge began bonding with the newly-dubbed Lanza.
