[color=6F4E37][b]Appearance Information:[/b][/color]
[color=FFFFF4]Beryl is a simple woman with a simple style. Her dark brown hair, naturally streaked by honey-blonde locks, is constantly pulled into a messy bun. Her freckled skin boasts a farmer's tan from many days spent under the sun slaving away at dig sites; surprisingly, she is still prone to sunburn. She is almost never seen without her round-framed glasses due to the fact that she is blind without them, and no-- she will not swap them out for contacts. She keeps a small yet simple wardrobe: dark tank-tops and shorts for the summer, and turtlenecks and slacks for the winter. All of her outfits are accentuated by her white lab coat, which she is quite proud of.[/color] 

[color=6F4E37][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
[color=FFFFF4]A bit bland and dry at times, Beryl is the type of woman that focuses a bit too much on her research. There have been times where she has spent days hunched over a desk pouring over books or samples all while surviving on pots and pots of coffee and tea with copious amounts of rock candy. Her obsession with her work has led her to become a bit of a recluse, only ever leaving her home or lab in order to attend social gatherings led by Ryker or Hyacinth or carry out her job as a gym leader. This has led some people to believe her to be an antisocial, curt, and bitter woman that has been slighted by life and would rather wallow in her loneliness than entertain others. 

Those closest to her know that these assumptions could be no further from the truth. Beryl is quite the warm and homely woman who boasts a fiery passion for her studies. Some have told stories of "being held hostage" at Beryl's home as she fed them hearty meals and rambled on about differently colored rocks and fossils until late at night. Though she surprisingly bears incredible amount of patience, it takes a while for one to earn Beryl's trust; she much rather place her confidence in her own Pokemon or assistants than someone like Ryker or Hyacinth.[/color] 

[color=6F4E37][b]Short Biography:[/b][/color]
[color=FFFFF4]Beryl was born the first and only child of a pair of lowly miners within Stow-on-Side. Her childhood was mostly spent in poverty, which in turn caused the other children of the town to shun and bully her for her family's economic standing. She often cried when she was dropped off at school and threw tantrums when disciplined for her poor behavior-- of course, this led her to be further ostracized from her peers, and she ultimately dropped out of primary school in favor of home-schooling. Her father eventually scrounged together enough savings to hire a teacher to provide Beryl with a proper education. Being taught at home provided Beryl with the opportunity to learn things at her own pace alongside ample free time, which she spent collecting rocks and shiny things, such as precious minerals and fossils. After finding success in the home-school program, her parents found that it took little for their only daughter to blossom into a fine young girl, but her timidness would persist even after completing her required courses. That was no matter, for by the time that Beryl was 17, she boasted many friends in the form of Rock and Ground Pokemon. 

It was little wonder that, when it came time for Beryl to decide what she wanted to do with her life, she decided to partake in the region's Gym Challenge. Her father was the one that provided her with her first Pokemon for her journey-- a tiny Tyrunt with a chip on its shoulder. Together, they traveled through Galar, gathering allies and friends, but also forming fiery rivalries with other trainers. Unfortunately, and like many trainers, Beryl was simply not skilled enough to persist on the path of victory. In the face of defeat, she ultimately decided that she was not talented enough to finish the challenge, much less become Champion of the region. Instead of training further, she dropped out of the competition and enrolled herself in university so that she could earn a degree in paleontology. 

Schooling came easier to Beryl this time around, though she still found it difficult to make friends. More often than not, she studied and completed research in the presence of her Pokemon, whose simple existence provided her enough motivation to continue past the first four years of university. She earned her doctorate earlier than most people expected her to; she completed her thesis at 25 and was granted her diploma at 26. Having completed multiple internships during her time as a student, she was quickly recruited to be a junior researcher at the Wyndon Institute. Work as an actual paleontologist came easy to her, and thanks to her connections from university and her reputable knowledge in her field, she became a fossil preparator by the end of the year. Such success was short-lived, however; her passion for her subject led her to become bitter about the way fossils were reformed into living Pokemon. She deemed the recently revived Dracovish, Arctovish, Dracozolt, and Arctozolt abominations and proclaimed that they be pulled from public eye, much to the ire of her team and supervisors. Beryl was the heart of the discontent within her squadron, and, after many weeks of arguments, she was promptly demoted to junior researcher-- which did not earn her enough pay to survive in Wyndon. Against what everyone at the institute told her, Beryl quit her job in a fit of rage and moved back home with her parents. 

But Beryl could not resist the call for adventure very long. At 27, Beryl's temperament mirrored Skarn's, who had grown into a ferocious Tyrantrum. Together, along with the rest of her team, Beryl plowed through the gyms and completed the Gym Challenge, causing an uproar among the elite of Galar due to the fact that Beryl had no sponsor. Her victory was cut short at helm of the challenge itself-- at the feet of Ryker himself. Though, this defeat was not as bitter as Beryl feared; impressed by her sheer determination and resilience, Ryker and the aging Bug-type gym leader discussed the latter's retirement and reached a quick agreement on the very field of the championship battle. Beryl was made to take her place as leader. 

Beryl did not expect these developments and, at first, rejected the offer. Ryker, however, countered her arguments, stating that her calling was to pave the way for younger generations of trainers. With the young Champion refusing to budge from his stance, Beryl begrudgingly agreed to take up the helm of the Rock-type leader of the League, though on the condition that she be allowed to pursue her own research at the newly opened research facility at Hammerlocke. Thankfully, Ryker agreed. [/color]
