[indent]Raised under the belief that control is strength, Claris is cool, composed, and painfully self-contained. As a result, she rarely shows emotion and tends to keep people at arm’s length, preferring quiet observance over immediate action. Beneath the icy demeanor, however, is someone searching for purpose, unsure of what to believe in after the world she knew was torn apart. Despite her aloofness, she respects discipline, fairness, and competence—and, occasionally, lets her buried warmth peek through.[/indent]
[u][b][color=#738381]     Trainer Class — Strategist-In-Training:          [/color][/b][/u]
[indent]A methodical battler who studies type matchups, terrain effects, and Pokémon behavior like a puzzle. Prefers precision over power.[/indent]
[u][b][color=#738381]     Background:          [/color][/b][/u]
[indent]One of the last descendants of a noble family that sided with Cipher, Claris was spared public disgrace because she was too young to choose a side during the war. Her brother was one of the young rebels who defected and helped bring Cipher down, but Claris did not escape the burden of legacy. Though the world around her moved on, Claris remained caught between two histories: the loyalty of her bloodline and the betrayal of her brother. She never spoke about either.

Now, with Evig rebuilt and Cipher seemingly gone, she’s determined to forge her own name—not to redeem her family, and not to follow in her brother’s footsteps, but to prove she belongs in a world that tried to leave her behind.

Professor Kapoc selected her after witnessing her raw precision in a simulated trial battle. He said nothing about her name, and she said nothing about her past.[/indent]
[u][b][color=#738381]     Pokemon Preference:          [/color][/b][/u]
[indent]Claris prefers Pokémon with calm temperaments and sharp instincts—particularly Psychic-, Ice-, and Steel-types. She values those who can operate with restraint and precision, and quietly bonds most with misunderstood or “cold” Pokémon.[/indent]
[u][b][color=#738381]     Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:          [/color][/b][/u]
[indent][list][*]Secretly fascinated by ancient runes and pre-Cipher Evig history, especially ruins sealed to the public.
[*]Has an irrational dislike of loud Pokémon (e.g., Chatot, Loudred).
[*]Keeps a perfectly organized field journal—writes in it religiously every night.
[*]Cannot stand unpredictability. May freeze or panic if her battle plan collapses entirely.
[*]Has never admitted this aloud, but wants to surpass her brother—not to punish him, but to prove she’s not his shadow.

[hr][sup]Pawniard   [color=#738381]◼[/color]   ♂   [color=#738381]◼[/color]   Adamant | Proud   [color=#738381]◼[/color]   Inner Focus  [/sup]
[indent]Designated Aves, this Pawniard exhibits precision, restraint, and an intolerance for disorder. He does not seek approval, nor does he offer it—his focus is on efficiency. Commands are followed without hesitation; emotion is irrelevant. He stands close not out of sentiment, but because it is the optimal position.

He is not affectionate. He is effective.[/indent][h3] [/h3][/hider]
