Jazlyn "Jaz" Frost

eighteen (Sept. 18th)

Jazlyn is a scrawny little thing, thin and malnourished-looking. She stands at a height of about 5'5", with scraggly auburn hair in messy curls that falls just below her shoulders. Her face is thin and pale, almost gaunt-looking in the right light, with beady brown eyes and a sharply pointed nose. She's no beauty queen and she doesn't care; she's often rather dirty and her hair and clothes usually look unkempt. She does care about her personal hygiene, but as far as looks go Jaz is not concerned in the slightest.
b a c k g r o u n d
Jaz was born in Celadon City and lived there for eight happy years until a group of thugs--possibly Team Rocket, she was never sure--broke into her house and stole everything the family owned. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for the destruction of the quaint three-member family's life, but it turned out to be the first in a series of similar crimes committed in the same small Celadon neighborhood in which Jazlyn and her parents lived.
The police never took too much of an interest in any of these cases. Some burglaries in an already poor neighborhood were hardly as important to them as other things. Over time, though, the victims of the mysterious gang started to lose their jobs, their employers fearing for their own safety. Unable to support themselves, the Frost family and several others could no longer afford their houses or much of anything. Local law enforcement finally decided to do something, and opened up a shelter specifically for such families. This was where Jazlyn spent the next several years of her life--in a run-down old warehouse that hardly passed for a homeless shelter.
And then one day she couldn't take it anymore. Recalling the stories she was told as a child about Pokémon trainers, on her eighteenth birthday Jaz told her parents she was leaving. Where, they asked. Anywhere, she replied. So after traveling to Vermilion City, she caught the first boat she could find, which happened to be bound for Cheyenne, and her adventure begins now.

Having spent many years of her life quite literally sheltered, Jazlyn is incredibly naive and socially inept. She has a tendency to act overly childish in most situations, simply because she doesn't know any better. The years she spent in the run-down shelter have given her a disregard for her outward appearance and actions. She is, however, very observant, from often having nothing more to do but watch the isolated "world" she lived in, and is good at spotting details and catching small hints at others' personalities.

Not much else really. She doesn't exactly know how the "real world" works and is determined to figure that out on her journey through Cheyenne.
