Surely the little snow angel wouldn't pose much of a threat to the established leaders around the Sinnoh region. She was too small, the hair was set too properly, she looked like she could barely handle model trains, let alone Pokémon training. It was when those fuschia-tinted eyes hardened a smirk spread across her face that the angel quickly became the devil to those on the other side. They learned soon enough that the little blonde girl was a force to be reckoned with. She's not so little anymore, standing at 5'8" with a body that's been fine-tuned hiking mountains around the globe, so she can't take anyone by surprise anymore. She has adapted her fashion as she's gotten older and traveled the world, shedding her schoolgirl image for something more adaptable for travel. She alternates between a relatively heavy black coat with a thick white scarf and sky blue winter boots in colder climates, and a light pink t-shirt and beige shorts in warmer climates as her primary outfits. However, she is confident enough to pull off any type of outfit she needs, from the formal attire in ballrooms of Kalos to the comfort-driven clothes for the rougher terrain of Hoenn. The one constant in her style is her perpetually uncovered blonde hair and the brown headband that contains the Key Stone she uses when she activates Jolie's Mawilite. She is known for her makeup abilites, particularly her use of glitter for that snow-crystal shine on her skin. It's rumored she has a couple of tattoos she's been hiding, but no one has been able to confirm anything.[/indent] [color=73fdff][b][u] p e r s o n a l i t y [/u][/b][/color] [indent]❄️ Graceful ❄️ Confident ❄️ Generous ❄️ Ego the size of Mount Coronet ❄️ Control Freak ❄️ Stubborn and unwilling to accept outside help ❄️ Spiteful as frigid hell ❄️ 100% that bitch[/indent] [color=73fdff][b][u] r e c e n t h i s t o r y [/u][/b][/color] [indent]❄️ Born and raised in Snowpoint City to a Sinnoan mother and Kalosian father. Her father was a traveller who found work as a Gym Trainer under Candice and her mother was a curator at the Snowpoint Temple. ❄️ Melissa took more after her father and aimed to be one of the best trainers in the world, studying dilligently. However, her father left when Melissa was eight after a disagreement with Candice over Mega evolution, and took his Mega Abomasnow with him.[indent]❄️ Her mother, Jessica, gave Melissa her first Pokémon when she was 10, a young Snorunt that was among the pack that hung out outside their house looking for berries. Yuki has been by her side ever since, and the day she evolved into Froslass was one of the happiest of Melissa's life.[/indent]❄️ Aside from the vendetta she swore against Candice for supposedly chasing her father away, she has had one main rival in her quest to climb to the highest heights of Pokémon battling. Miki freaking Park. No matter where she went, the little black-and-red edgelord always seemed to be a thorn in her side. ❄️ Melissa proved herself a quick study when it came to Pokémon training, even with Candice refusing to battle her when she was just starting out. She and Yuki were able to set off from Snowpoint and quickly build up a roster capable of showing what a spectacle a true force of frozen fury could be. [indent]❄️ After a promising 2nd place showing in Sinnoh, and a 4th in Hoenn, she had a disgraceful DQ in the Indigo League which the blame in her eyes laid solely on the head of Miki Park. ❄️ Embarrassed, she retreated halfway around the world to the land of her father, placing 3rd in Kalos. Finally, the Queen of Ice gained her crown in a fateful stint in Alola, where the blonde was crowned champion of the fledgling league. ❄️ Invited to stay on as a permanent Champion, Melissa took up residence in the region, splitting her time between her home in Malie City and Mount Lanakila, where the battles were held. Given the lack of a powerhouse Ice trainer in the region, and with the Fairy expert more inclined to doodle around, she became the dominant trainer and respected force in both types. ❄️ However, after two years, she has temporarily left her position to due to dueling fatigue, or so her announcement said. In reality, she had some unfinished business to take care of.

As a Snorunt, she was mischievous, stealing food from the Elliott's backyard and hurling snowballs at windows when none was to be found. She has matured alongside Melissa though, and now fulfills the mom role on the squad, doting after her newer teammates and making sure her trainer keeps a cool head when things are heating up. However, if she feels she is wronged, she maintains one of Melissa's nastier traits; an unyielding spite streak. She will hex anything that threatens to disturb her peace.[/sub] [/list] [url=https://i.imgur.com/w4Xg6o9.png][sub][b]Juliet[/b][/sub][/url] [list][*] [color=73fdff][sub]Species[/sub][/color] [sub]Alolan Ninetales[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Gender[/sub][/color] [sub]Female[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Ability[/sub][/color] [sub]Snow Warning - Juliet doesn't need to summon the snows, for they naturally follow her, cloaking whatever field she enters with a blizzard-like blast.

However, she knows it. Juliet has an ego, and will be quick to snub anything that doesn't meet her standards, be it food or Pokémon. This makes her a gamble for many seeking an Alolan Vulpix of their own, as Juliet is one of the most sought-after breeding options thanks to the training she's recieved. She's produced a few darlings capable of withstanding frozen fury, but she still remains the supreme snow-fox, and she makes sure everyone knows it.[/sub] [/list] [url=https://i.imgur.com/OuA4xqv.jpg][sub][b]Jolie[/b][/sub][/url] [sub]-[/sub] [url=https://i.imgur.com/flD5tmi.jpg][sub][i]Mega Form[/i][/sub][/url] [list][*] [color=73fdff][sub]Species[/sub][/color] [sub]Mawile[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Gender[/sub][/color] [sub]Female[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Ability[/sub][/color] [sub]Hyper Cutter - Jolie's attack can not be lowered by any means.

Found in Granite Cave, the Sinnoan was drawn to the Steel-type's deceptive nature and felt it fit her style to a tee. Imagine her surprise when Jolie turned out to be not as spiteful as she and Yuki thought! Jolie lives up to her name as a joyful Pokémon, eager to play and battle to her heart's content. She is the soul of the team, keeping everything afloat even in times of trouble. Even though Melissa has shed her own deceptive pretenses, Jolie continues to be a presence that is not to be underestimated.[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Extra:[/sub][/color] [sub]Jolie's Mawilite, discovered during Melissa's attempts to track her father down in Kalos, is [url=https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/a1/Mabel_Mawile.png]worn like a headband[/url], similar to that of her trainer.

Brittany is very gentle, possibly due to the fact she was a bit smaller than the rest of the Lapras that were gathered in the area at the time. However, she proved invaluable to Melissa as both her primary source of transportation on water, as well as her most versatile attacking option. She can at times lose focus, distracted by a sound that peaks her interest, but she hasn't dumped Melissa in the water in a long time. The bond is strong.[/sub] [/list] [url=https://i.imgur.com/9VHtkr3.png][sub][b]Léa[/b][/sub][/url] [list][*] [color=73fdff][sub]Species[/sub][/color] [sub]Florges[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Gender[/sub][/color] [sub]Female[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Ability[/sub][/color] [sub]Flower Veil - When surrounded by flowers, Léa is able to shield herself from status conditions suich as burns and frostbite.

The Fairy-type loves flowers and gardens, but after joining the squad during Melissa's Kalos travels, she found out her teammates are not conducive to growing conditions with all their snow flying about. Still, the Florges is a commanding presence and serves her support role very well. She is quick to set up defences and make sure any dragons know how much trouble they are in. She will fuss if her crown of flowers is damaged in any way, and Yuki will still sometimes fling a bit of snow at Léa to get a rise out of her. Léa will usually respond with a toxic stare that the Froslass just laughs off.[/sub] [/list] [url=https://i.imgur.com/BoJgqIT.png][sub][b]Grant[/b][/sub][/url] [list][*] [color=73fdff][sub]Species[/sub][/color] [sub]Aurorus[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Gender[/sub][/color] [sub]Male[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Ability[/sub][/color] [sub]Refridgerate - Any move that could be considered normal when used by other Pokémon gets infused with crystals when Grant uses it, making it an Ice-type move and increasing the damage.[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Move Set[/sub][/color] [sub]Hail, Thunder Wave, Light Screen, Freeze Dry, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Hyper Beam[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Body Type:[/sub][/color] [sub]Quadrupedal[/sub] [*] [color=73fdff][sub]Nature:[/sub][/color] [sub]As the lone male on Melissa's squad, you would think Grant would be an outcast of sorts, but the rest of the team loves the Tundra Pokémon and makes sure he knows how valuable he is. Named after the Cyllage City Gym Leader who tipped Melissa off to the discovery of an Amaura fossil (and may-or-may-not have made a couple trips to Malie City in recent years), Grant is another gentle giant and gets along swimmingly with Brittany despite being terrified of the water. The Ice/Rock type is able to generate bone-chilling temperatures and the changing colors of his sail usually give a good indication of his current emotions; from calm blue to enraged red. Grant's ability to create light shows in the night sky usually serve as a cap to another of Melissa's triumphant turns as champion of Alola.[/sub] [/list] [/indent][/indent][/color]
