[color=#7FFFD4][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male

[color=#7FFFD4][b]Appearance:[/b][/color]  Barry has a lanky 6'1" build, cloaked in his local winter robes from Blackthorn. Despite his height, his smooth complexion sometimes results in him being mistaken for younger than he really is. In all weather conditions, Barry is always seen wearing his trusty sandals.


[color=#7FFFD4][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Barry is a relaxed and steady-as-a-Golem countrysider, raised in a large family of agriculturalists. He has a fixed loyalty to those around him—cultivated by his family during his upbringing—but has never had to face the world without their guidance and support.

[color=#7FFFD4][b]Short Biography:[/b][/color] Barry spent his childhood in New Bark, aiding his parents in their apricot and berry pharmacy in his free time. At the age of twelve, his family moved to Blackthorn to cultivate Ice Berries and open up a new store, Apotheberry. With the help of their team of Shuckle, the family sold medicine to the locals and shipped their products across Johto. However, last winter a terrible blizzard swept away their year's crop—along with half of their Shuckle—and while the Ice Berry seeds they had planted could sustain frigid temperatures indefinitely, their next harvest wouldn't be for another nine months. Barry had long-since heard the rumors of a mysterious blue Shuckle that could produce higher quality medicine than any of its counterparts, and realized that he would have to find and catch it if he wanted to save his family from debt. Armed with one of the family Shuckle and his trusty partner Pokemon, the winter guardian Delibird, he set out to New Bark to meet up with old friends about to embark on an adventure of their own.
