From the interest check. [Hider=Shadows of Almia] [b]Name:[/b] Sylvie Chase [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Pronouns:[/b] She/Her [b]Trainer Type:[/b] Pokémon Ranger [b]Hometown:[/b] Originally Snowpoint, Sinnoh, current residence listed at Vientown, Almia [b]Appearance:[/b] Sylvie is fair skinned standing at about 5’6” tall and is lanky in build. Despite this, she is quite capable athletically, and has enough stamina to hike several miles tirelessly. She has long green hair and blueish eyes. Though she likes her hair down, she has it in a pony tail or other styles that keep it away from her face when working. She wears breathable clothes such as t-shirts, tank tops, shorts and skorts. When on business she has a red vest or a red jacket for adverse weather. She also has a brimmed red hat and gloves. Her preferred footwear is boots. She has a watch, and though she likes jewelry, she hardly wears any for practical reasons. She keeps her essentials in a small belt bag that sits at her waist and a cross-body bag around her back. [hider=appearance][img]https://i.imgur.com/QSTgGWi.jpeg[/img][/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] She is quite peppy and ready to help anyone in a bind. She is always glad to meet new people and expand her connections. It helps especially in her line of work when cooperation can make or break an operation. Challenge-focused, she looks for the next thing that needs doing and goes for it. Ready and willing to take on any problem regardless of the difficulty. She is often first in line to take on the seemingly impossible. To that end she is also incredibly patient and kind, rarely letting her temper get to her. It’s joked in her inner circle that if anyone managed to get Sylvie mad, they must have done something incredibly evil. [b]History:[/b] Sylvie was born in Snowpoint City, and there she was raised until she was seven. Her family had moved to Almia, the home her father was originally from. Being out and about wasn’t new to Sylvie. She became familiar with her parents, mainly her father, always being on the move, conserving this and protecting that. She recalls faintly of her father spending several weeks holed up deep inside Snowpoint temple, preserving the ruins within. Sylvie admired her parents commitment and when she was old enough, she enrolled in the Ranger School and become a Pokemon ranger. She learned fast and quickly rose the ranks. She proved to be reliable, and was one of the few who responded first whenever the anything like Team Dim Sun tries to take root. It was her dedication and reliability that granted her the title of Top Ranger, and with it the ability to assign herself her own ranger missions as the needs arose. This also let her perform ranger tasks outside the region, letting her join Rangers in those region that had traditional teams. It was during one of these operations involving a smuggling ring trying to profit off revived fossil Pokemon. The operation was simple enough, but since it cross over several borders, Sylvie got involved to both end the smuggling, and find proper homes for the hundreds of displaced fossil Pokemon. Displaced in both home and era. Despite that being successful, there was one Cranados that proved to be very problematic, using it’s hard head to tear through most containment methods. After the third escape attempt that set the recently rescued fossil Pokemon roaming out and about the city, Sylvie took it upon herself to deal with it. Having gone home to Almia, she was still holding onto the Cranados. Any sanctuary she brought it to would end up calling the local rangers to take it somewhere else because it kept knocking out the other Pokemon and disrupting everyone. It was her mother that suggested that maybe it would be better suited in the hands of a trainer who could spend the time to properly train it. An idea Sylvie wasn’t opposed to. She grew up watching battles, and before she met her father, her mother was deep into the league. She could see first hand the dedication some trainers had in raising the potential of their pokemon. By this time, Cranados had finally stopped trying to fight her or her partner Pokemon. The more Sylvie thought about it, the more she felt like the best person to deal with it would be herself. That was it. A new side to fulfilling the Pokemon ranger ideals, and calming Cranados’s pent up competitive nature. And with her mother helping guide her, Sylvie transitioned from a ranger of the Ranger Union, to that more of those she met outside of Almia. Protecting nature, while also becoming strong enough to handle any other challenge sent her way. Trainers, and rangers, putting two together for the betterment of those Pokemon. Only way to go was up, and if she was going to do this, like everything else she put herself through, she was going for the top. [b]Goals:[/b] To get stronger for the love of the game. Maybe to help out her Pokémon's issues, as well.

She is also rather strict with the team as well. She is one of the few entities that can restrain the rest of the team where Sylvie can sometimes fail.

While he is very friendly and protective of Sylvie and her Pokemon, it can be too much when interacting with strangers. Thankfully, he isn’t outright hostile to other trainers or Pokemon, but he does have a very aggressive nature and competitive streak. He will challenge anyone, especially other trainer’s Pokemon, regardless of their perceived strength just to prove himself.

She demands respect from everyone, and leaves any menial tasks to others. She likes sweet things, and receiving attention. If she’s ignored, she will throw a fit. The facade quickly falls when faced off against Pokemon stronger than her, though she will desperately fight to regain whatever status she thinks she lost until one side is defeated.

He likes to hide in small places but also easily falls victim to his appetite. Sylvie carries batteries on hand just to coax him out of whatever crevice he decided to get himself stuck in. Surprisingly, it’s easier to find him in urban areas because he can be found leeching off electrical outlets.

If he gets the chance it will sweep up Sylvie and take her into the water. If given even more of the opportunity, he will do that with any new friend Sylvie meets as well. If there isn’t a suitable body of water around, he will make the surrounding area wet and make do.

It doesn’t like to be around others, friendly and hostile, and will keep to itself. If bothered, it will move away. The only people it tolerates being near by choice is Sylvie and Sylveon.
