So I wasn't sure what your stance was on Hidden Abilities (if you did mention them in the doc, I'm blind.) So I took the liberty of using a few. But yeah, here we go, do tell if I need to edit something. [hider=Ann and the ice bois-- and girl][color=silver][center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ee/3e/9f/ee3e9f41a73ab6f432d3b7fa29ab59d5.jpg[/img] [color=#5bc0de][H3]J O A N N E "A N N" C L A R K E[/H3]F ❆ Galarian ❆ 17[/color] [/center] [hr] [color=#5bc0de]Personality:[/color] Ann is unlikely to make too strong a first impression. At first glance she's a quiet, faintly smiling girl that tends to mind her own business and speak very little. You might notice she's lazy and sluggish in her movement, almost as if she's never in a hurry to go anywhere, and that she tends to daydream a lot.- Maybe you'll catch her playing with or talking to her Pokémon, almost unaware that there are even other people around. You know, the usual stuff. And, depending how long a time you spend around her, it might be that you'll never see anything else. However, be in her company long enough and you'll eventually find out that Ann's a curious girl with the self-control of a starving Morpeko in a curry shop. So while she might be completely reasonable one second, the moment something piques her interest or that invasive thought of 'what would happen if' crosses her mind, no amount of pesky common sense can stop her. She's impulsive and irresponsible, and doesn't second guess herself - even whens he should. When she decides to speak up or act, she's brazen - yet not any more energetic than usual, creating a strange dissonance between her weird actions and otherwise calm expression and demeanor. Some say it's unsettling, while many find her honesty and lack of tact jarring. Yet others view her as a naive girl who doesn't know any better. She's not naive though, and she [i]does [/i]know better - she just chooses the things she cares about very carefully, and the opinions of others or the consequences of bad decisions fall very far down that list. Sometimes she even [i]enjoys [/i]rattling people and breaking expectations. It's all in good fun, though, and she isn't out to hurt or insult others. On the contrary; she quite loves people. She just wishes more of them could show their true selves instead of trying to act the way they think is expected of them. But, well, nothing to be done about that. Except leading by example, maybe? Mmm. Nah. Sounds like too much work. [color=#5bc0de]Biography:[/color] Born and raised in Circhester, Ann never expected to embark on any sort of journey further than the occasional shopping trip to Wyndon. Her family was well-known around the city, having owned a business there for generations. Just beyond the city's borders, they housed a large quantity of Piloswine and Mamoswine, arranging "snow safaris" on their backs into the brisk wilderness on and around routes eight, nine and ten. Their services were particularly popular among trainers and tourists, and though the Clarke family was by no means rich, they were quite well off - enough to expand their business to other winter activities over the years, up and including Rotom Snowbiking, ice fishing, snow camping and ice Pokémon tours for trainers looking to land themselves that special, rare Eiscue. Ever since young, Ann helped with the business at her parents' request, be it taking care of young Swinub or, once older, guiding tours. She was always a carefree and somewhat irresponsible child, and though she did what she was told, she didn't do a thing more - and was often caught playing with the local ice types when her parents expected her to be helping. She loved the customers they got however, particularly those from other regions. She loved nothing more than listening in on their conversations or asking for tales from their homelands - places which she never expected to [i]actually [/i]visit. After all, as an only child, she lived with the assumption that she would take over the family business one day - at least, until her younger brother was born and, years later, ended up expressing both better aptitude and deeper interest towards the prospect. Ann didn't mind the thought of yielding the family business to her brother, though it did leave her with a sudden lack of purpose. Her whole life, she'd expected to live and die among the horde of 'swines, and now... well, she wouldn't need to. She could do anything. She could go and travel to all the places she'd heard from tourists over the years. She could visit her cousins in Alola. Or she could throw herself into an international league competition in a faraway land despite having no real experience in Pokémon battling or incentive to travel to the other side of the world for it. ... Hm. You know what, that actually sounded kinda fun. She packed her bags less than a week later, traveling all the way to the distant Chromis region with naught but a tree, a bug and a demon in the shape of a shrew.

Supposedly, they rescued the poor ice type from the outskirts of their villa, half-dead from heat exhaustion. The more likely case is that they caught the mischievous little thing digging up their garden and, after multiple attempts to shoo it away and have local authorities help get rid of it, they shipped the bugger off to Galar to annoy someone else. Joke's on them though - Ann loves him in all his trouble making glory.

He's always been a tree. Once, he lived in the forests of Galar as a tree, alongside his tree family. Then came time for the holidays, and many of his brethren were caught and brought into humans' living rooms to sit pretty under layers of colourful decorations. Yuletide, however, was much too small, so he was left behind - until Ann found him, deemed him just the perfect size and brought him in. But when the holidays ended and all the other trees were released back into the wild, Yuletide refused to leave. To this day, he wears a star decoration atop his head to remember the day he became a very special tree.
