The older I get the more I start to think BBQ potato chips are the worst flavor, actually.

Bio
Look, I got lost on the way to getting some jajangmyeon and it'd be foolish to leave now.
Her name is Charlotte Danvers-Thordottir. Her mom is Carol Danvers. Her dad is Thor. She's half Asgardian, a quarter Kree and a quarter human. She can fly. Her fists glow and shoot photon blasts. She has above normal strength. Her brother is Soren Thorson. The end.
"Don't take me lightly, I can scream really, really loud!"
Name: Wren Delgado
Nicknames: Wren
Aliases: Sinnoh's Punk Rock Princess; Wren the Winning Warbling Warrior Woman
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Origin: Hearthome City
Appearance: Wren's hair used to be a nice, refined dark brown but after an incident involving hair coloring she's got faded red tips that she can't exactly be bothered to maintain which makes her short, oft unkempt, hair a unique blend of, as she puts it 'chocolate and cherry'. It works for her. Kind of. Mostly. She's rather short, which doesn't help her blend in as an actual adult, standing at just around 5'4" and that's with tiptoes. Her style tends to be black t-shirts (with cute characters on them that she swears aren't cute), skirts, and black boots (with pink laces...it's a look, shut up). Her style shies more towards 'chic punk for posers' than out and out punk as she claims but...again, it's a look.
Personality: First things first, no matter what someone might say Wren wants everyone to know that she is absolutely not 'cute'. She's 'cool'. She's 'punk'. She's 'tough'. Any other descriptor and she's likely to puff her cheeks, stomp her foot, pout her lips, and march off - often while plugging her ears - in order to sulk in her room until someone came in with an apology sweet (cake, specifically gateau, being her favorite). It's often difficult to take Wren seriously no matter how she tries to be taken as such, because, inadvertently or otherwise, she doesn't come off as 'cool, hip, punk rocker' but as 'teenager going through a phase but not really'. This makes her either incredibly annoying - particularly when she has to raise her voice (which is often, sometimes just for fun) - or too precious and adorable. It's the latter that Wren is trying, and failing, to do away with. She's cool, okay? She's the coolest and the punk rockiest and it shows in her style and her Pokemon!
Just because she might act like a little teenage rebel doesn't mean she is one. She's a little adult rebel!
Short Biography: Though Wren was born in Hearthome City she considers herself something of a world traveler, having been to many different regions which might be seen as remarkable only because of her comparatively young age. However, the reason for her travels was less a journey of discovery or traveling across the land, searching far and wide for the power that's inside but rather because she and some friends decided the best way to make it in the highly competitive industry of music and Pokemon was to do a world tour...to whichever venues would accept them! Wren, before becoming Elite, was a musician first and a trainer second. She was the vocalist and bassist for a very 'garage punk' band that called themselves 'Purrloin's Nasty Plot' up until they decided that 'Absol-ute Territories' was more fitting and slightly more clever.
The band was hardly an international hit, though they did manage to produce one album that charted...just barely, and radio play became a thing once Wren became more known as a trainer than a musician - but by that point the band had split over 'creative differences' which was a fancy way of saying 'everyone else wanted to mature their musical artistry while Wren still just wanted to play loud and fast'. It worked out well enough; having been in the band since she was fourteen and living the punk lifestyle, Wren focused her efforts to battling instead. Even when she was in a band, they would have battles between sets or before encores (not their encore, they were barely an opening act most times!), and Wren won far, far more often than she lost. She just had a weird knack for it, aided probably by her thinking of battles as concerts with her opponent being the crowd who wanted nothing more than to go home amped up. It made more sense in her head. Regardless, with her unique style and approach to both battling and team selection, Wren has proven herself to be a capable battler when she wants to be, enough so that, even with her young age, she is one of the newest members of Sinnoh's Elite.
And no, punk is not dead, it lives on in Wren who is absolutely sure it's not a phase.
Pokemon:
Name: Iggy Species: Houndoom Gender: Male Ability: Flash Fire Appearance: He has a collar just above the skull pendant. This collar is dark pink and has the initials 'L.D.' on the back. Personality: Incredibly loyal and not as scary as he looks. Move Set: Nasty Plot Fire Blast Dark Pulse Taunt
Name: Lydon Species: Krookodile Gender: Male Ability: Moxie Appearance: His scales are a shade darker than normal and he never, ever, takes off the sunglasses he was given. Personality: He's a troublemaker whenever Wren isn't around to take care of him. Move Set:Knock Off Earthquake Crunch Pursuit
Name: Jello Species: Muk (Alolan) Gender: Male Ability: Poison Touch Appearance: The colorful slude boi always seems to be smiling even when no one but Wren gives him a hug. Personality: He longs for affection but alas, so few seem to want to give him any. Move Set: Toxic Fire Punch Minimize Poison Jab
Name: Hudson Species: Weavile Gender: Male Ability: Pickpocket Appearance: The feather on his left ear is longer than the one on his right. Personality: Hide your snacks and hide your little knickknacks because Hudson has been known to swipe them. Move Set: Icicle Crash Ice Shard Knock Off Pursuit
Name: Milo Species: Bisharp Gender: Male Ability: Defiant Appearance: Milo is a shiny boi. Personality: Out of every one of Wren's punkers, Milo is the most competitive. It's oddly fitting. He takes it the worst when Wren loses. Move Set: Swords Dance Iron Head Sucker Punch Stone Edge
Name: Brody Species: Toxapex Gender: Female Ability: Regenerator Appearance: The tips of her tentacles are more orange than they are yellow Personality: Despite being the most shy of the bunch, Brody does love a good joke and will laugh at schadenfreude. Move Set: Scald Haze Recover Toxic Spikes
Summary: A hardcore punk princess who has a soft spot for sweets.
Other:One day wishes to have a little hangry boi hang out on her shoulder.
