[u][b][color=#638459]     Appearance:          [/color][/b][/u]
[indent]Standing at a comfortable 5’6”, Ella tends towards heeled boots to accentuate her lithe figure, but she swaps for flatter ones when on the road. Her blond hair reaches mid-back, and she prefers a heavy parka over any amount of layers and sweaters, though she wears them all in the cold. She’s often found with a kind smile, and she maintains a carefully curated appearance that only seems effortless. [/indent]

[indent]Born and raised in Saffron City as the only child of two middle-class parents in fields barely related to Pokemon, Ella’s desire to become a trainer blossomed and grew through her childhood as she followed elite trainers on the screen and in the news. She quickly realized that it took more than just a strong team to make a successful trainer, and she’s frequented trainer schools ever since, brushing up on the basics while internalizing lessons from the screen for the nonessential plusses. Besides being decently palatable, there was being likable, standing for strong ideals, and having an ‘angle’ to attract an audience. Since she figures she has ample time to find an angle, she’s focusing on the other aspects at the moment, steadily working up to be a suitable public figure. After all, she wanted more than just a simple trainer income and a life on the road, and if being able to train Pokemon and inspire others was part of the package, then even better.

[u][b][color=#638459]     Personality:          [/color][/b][/u]
[indent]Ella’s a pretty picture. Her smiles and manners give credit to her image of being an all-around nice girl, and she backs this up with her kindness to those around her. Breaking up her refined image is a penchant for klutziness, from slipping and tripping on nothing in particular to following through on silly ideas. Aside from that, she might make a few deadpan statements or light teases here and there, but none of those seem intentional on her part.

This is only when she has company, though; alone, Ella’s more subdued, more calm and collected. She’s one who thinks before she jumps, as much as she acts like she’s one who simply jumps, and the only time this might show to others is when she works with her Pokemon. While she would smile and apologize for any outcome in her favor, citing beginner’s luck or good fortune, it’s usually anything but. That said, she truly does value her friends and Pokemon as well as honor and dedication. It’s just honesty she has trouble with since she finds that it’s often easier to gain someone’s trust when she’s actively trying to, and actively trying to might mean a few white lies here and there. But no harm in a little dishonesty if it makes someone happy, right?[/indent]

[indent]As Ella’s first Pokemon, Quinn is and continues to be a grounding presence in Ella’s life, helping Ella in more ways than she can count. She has a quiet disposition and will often choose to watch scenes play out rather than comment, though she’s able to assert her presence when needed. Supporting Ella and her teammates is something she does well as the kind, mature personality on the team, and she’s the closest thing the team has to a mom.[/indent][h3] [/h3][/hider]
[hider=Fabs — Clefairy][h3][color=#638459]Fabio  |  Fabs[/color][/h3][hr][img]https://www.smogon.com/dex/media/sprites/xy/clefairy.gif[/img]

[indent]Fabs is fabulous and that should be obvious from his name. Ella saw him dancing under the moonlight on one of Mt. Moon’s ledges and was instantly smitten, pleading that he come along on her journey, so he deigned to agree. He graces her team with a flair that it would certainly otherwise lack, and though he doesn’t love battling, he does enjoy the spotlight, and that alone is often enough. [/indent][h3] [/h3][/hider]
