(Could not find an image of how I actually wanted her to look like - she is a member of the Officer Jenny family and shares the facial features and build of a typical Officer Jenny, but has a slightly different hair style. I'll expand more on what she looks like in "Appearance" blurb below.)

[color=f7941d]Full Name:[/color] Jenny Baobab

[color=f7941d]Age:[/color] 24

[color=f7941d]Year at the Institute:[/color] First

[color=f7941d]Favorite Color:[/color] [color=f7941d]Orange[/color]

[color=f7941d]Thesis Subject:[/color] [i]Leaving Stones Unturned: Unusual Evolution Methods[/i] Exploring more unusual forms of evolutions, with a focus on measures difficult to quantify. For example, evolving an Eevee into a Vaporeon is easy - just use a Water Stone. But an Umbreon? A bit more involved. Riolu, a fighting-type Pokemon, doesn't need to be in a battle to evolve, just needs properly pampered. If a Pokemon hasn't evolved yet, maybe it simply hasn't done the right thing because nobody has thought to do that with the Pokemon?

[color=f7941d]Appearance:[/color] Jenny is, obviously a member of the Officer Jenny family, and shares many of their physical features. However, since she doesn't share the same profession as most of her relatives, she doesn't feel the need to quite present herself in the same way. While she has the hallmark green hair, she does not tie it back unless undergoing specific experiments, nor keep it quite as short. Instead, she often let's her hair flow freely, unless she's working on a specific experiment, in which case her Ditto will morph into a headband for her. Her clothing is often blue, but she often has splashes of orange, her favorite color.

[color=f7941d]Personality:[/color] Jenny's mind runs at a million miles an hour. She'll often pick up something, work frantically on it a bit, and then jump to something else. She's quite prone to dig her teeth into something for a bit, then discard it for some other fascination later. 

[color=f7941d]Bio:[/color] Some parents are distraught when their ten year old child leaves to start a Pokemon journey. For Jenny, her parents were floored when she showed an interest in dentistry instead of working as a Police Officer. It's not that there was a problem with an Officer Jenny not going the routine route, it's just that it seldom happened. A year later, though, she was yet again interested in becoming an officer. She received her first Pokemon, a Growlithe, who she very much cherished; in retrospect, Milkshake the Growlithe was likely the source of her love of the color orange. It seemed, at least for a bit, she would go the traditional route, likely serving to patrol Route 216 near Snowpoint City. Then it became clear she was only interested in joining her sister so she could fiddle around with and pick apart the motorcycles. So, a mechanic, perhaps?

That stuck for a bit, but this interest in mechanics would lead to a fascination with aviation. It was settled. She would be a pilot. In fact, there was actually a decent chance she would settle with this as her career. She always did want to travel a bit. Her parents sought out for a flying pokemon, something that would glide gracefully through the air... a Starly, perhaps! But she got a Doduo. Another companion she became fast friends with. The bizarre method in which they flew changed her interests yet again. Next, it became Doduo racing. Snow skiing. Then battling. Then aviation again. Then Kayaking. Firefighting. The list continued. While most explored the world, she explored hobbies and careers. She became a cave explorer in Mt. Coronet. Then a farmer in Floaroma Town. She took up fishing for a while in Canalave city. One miniature adventure after another. That was until she met her Ditto. 

It happened when traveling along route 218 when she came across a hurt Glameow. She took it back to nurse it to health at her apartment in Jubilife City and when she got back to her apartment, she had a... Spinda? She had found herself a Ditto. She was fascinated by the Ditto, capable of being both everything and nothing all at once. She began to study it, but she soon found studying Dittos was a hefty task. To understand Ditto, you sort of have to learn a bit about all sorts of Pokemon. And so that she did. One thing lead to another, and she had enough research under her belt to make a good candidate for LI. She has a love of learning, and is hoping to meet like minded people. 

It is worth noting, she is sort of a jack of all trades, master of none. Jenny has learned a large variety of things many would not have, but is by no means an expert, nor some savant or genius. 

The interest in her thesis comes from being exposed to the many ways she has seen Pokemon used and treated in her time. Of course, there are the obvious contests and battles a typical trainer would see. But she saw some Pokemon work along side her in warehouses and restaurants; helpful, but not exactly ones she would say she bonded closely with. Ominous Absol's with no human companion showing up to warn people of a dangerous storm, treated with more fear than anything. Certain Rare Pokemon being treated with a sort of reverence instead of as a companion. And, unfortunately, having worked briefly with Officer Jenny's, people who treated Pokemon poorly. Of course, Jenny is not going to do anything to harm a Pokemon, but her experiments often involve having Pokemon just do things nobody would likely think to ask - asking a Kriketune to learn the Violin, having a Smeargle participate in a hot dog eating contest, having pokemon that would normally herd Wooloos herd Aipoms, etc.

[hider=Jenny's Team]
Milkshake the Growlithe: Milkshake is a Munchlax in Growlithe form. She is constantly napping or eating anything she sink her teeth into. She seems to have no desire to evolve, mostly because then she couldn't hide away in her favorite nap spots as easily. It's probably for the best- if she grew into a Arcanine, Milkshake would probably eat everything in Jubilife City. She has had Milkshake for over a decade and the two have a special bond. Jenny chats to Milkshake (who blissfully sleeps through most of these conversations) to help gather her thoughts. 
Oranges and Apples the Doduo (Oranges on the left, Apples on the right): Oranges and Apples are her diligent research assistants. Her Doduo is a fiercely loyal companion and often trots around her room to help her sort through sprawled notes whether it is in her research or in her past when she was studying any number of things.

Also the Ditto: Also sparked Jenny's interest in Pokemon-specific research to begin with. Also will often morph into a model or diagram to help her visualize something. The two work in harmony with one another. Also often will slide into her hat or into pockets of her lab coat, gleefully trying to form silly shapes to make her laugh.

[color=f7941d]Quirks:[/color] Someone you want on your team at trivia night, Jenny's eclectic knowledge isn't always the most useful, but it sure is impressive. She loves a good pickled slowpoke tail. Jenny does not stay awake late using coffee, but instead pitchers of lemonade and sweets to give her a sugar rush during those late nights. Despite not going down the same career path as her relatives, Jenny has a strong sense of justice and fiercely opposes anything she believes is wrong.
