{desc=The Dark Lady}
Full Name: Lenora (Nora) Usher
Gender: Female (appears male)
Age: 23 (December 12)
Theme Music: Magus' Theme (Metal Version)
Battle Theme: My Spirit Will Go On- Dragonforce
Appearance: Standing tall and lithe, her tall statuesque form is often mistaken as a male at first glance. While she is endowed with a decent chest size, she has a habit of wearing trench coats and very masculine clothing. Because of her traveling as a trainer, she never wears heels and is often found in army boots. While she sometimes wears earrings, her long black hair usually hides them. When she feels like accentuating her feminine form, she usually takes off her overcoat to show off her sleeveless turtleneck underneath. When she does wear a dress, she usually wears dark colors to accentuate her pale skin.
Background: Politics are ripe in Verona, and her parents were some of the greatest ones out there. The Ushers were new money, having made a name for themselves as Pokémon Trainers, but more as Pokémon teachers. They had a talent for fine-tuning other people's Pokémon with tips and tricks on how to perform their techniques rather than just learning more powerful ones. They knew strategy and charisma for Coordinators, even having a breeding facility where they could breed Pokémon for desirable talents outside of meager moves. Their breeds of talking Pokémon were hits at the contests, some able to use their sing techniques to sing in English.
Lenora never wanted to be the very best... she already was. With all of this knowledge thrown to her, she came up with the philosophy that nobody but her own self could defeat her, thus failure was only a stepping stone for success. With her headstrong attitude, she started to get very competitive with her two older brothers, one of whom was vying for the position of Master Judge of Verona for the Coordinator events. Lenora knew that her siblings had the corner on the Coordinator side of the family, so at a young age, Lenora trained herself hard. Learning how to teach, she gained an aide in communicating with Pokémon for her sixteenth birthday; a talking Sneasel named Black Ice.
While an elitist at heart, she believed no Pokémon was without potential if there was a proper someone to pull it out of them. Learning the ins and outs of Pokemon, she became renowned for being able to pick a good Magikarp for training into a Gyarados. Knowing how to feed it and the psychology of the creature added itself into the equation quickly and made her family a lot of money. She had suitors, but she was married to her work and training, refusing to go out into the world until she was intimate with Pokémon. This gave her time and an edge over younger trainers who started very young.
Getting more and more jealous of her brothers each day, she tired of playing games and decided it was time to leave the family to make her mark as a trainer... the old fashioned way. Wanting more respect than her family name, she wanted nothing more than to get her hands dirty. With the quick-witted tongue of Black Ice, she had more than a capable companion which could also keep her entertained... not to mention, when she would return, Black Ice would pluck the wings off of her eldest brother's Altaria and hand them back to him as a cotton coat.
Taking the road less traveled, she left everything behind to earn power and respect by her own hands and anyone she could use. With a plethora of experience and knowledge behind her, she hopes to earn the reputation of The Dark Lady. A strategist to be feared.
Personality: Though she has a sliver of honor, she is an elegant elitist snob. Whether or not she is better than you and if you prove yourself better than her, she is still better than you. She does not make excuses, but she never gives an opponent credit for defeating her. It is always her miscalculation. So long as a person defers themselves to her greatness as a student or a lackey, she will actually be cordial. Anything attempting to usurp her authority is worth wiping the floor with.
Deep down, however, she is looking for that special someone to completely destroy her and her plans that she might serve until death. From her family quarrels, she learned that the greatest leaders are those in the middle. Those at the top are always aimed at first. Once a leader gets the one above them to go to them for help and the ones below her kissing the ground she walks on, she has it made as an immovable treasure.
She loves men with a dangerous mind and with power that they simply choose not to exercise against her. Not just with raw power. Heart and guts are nothing without the skill to put that energy to proper use.
Her only real confidant is Black Ice. She may get close to Pokemon, but any friend can be used against her, thus she picks and chooses her inner circle wisely.
