Full Name: Kimiko Ryo Noriko (Kimi)
Gender: Female
Age: April 13th:: Eighteen
Appearance: Kimiko is anything, but frail. Standing at about 5'8 and weighing about 140, most of it muscle. She isn't your damsel in distress type. The second thing people notice is her snow white hair that she keeps about shoulder length and tied back with a bandana from her pirate years. She even has a few shells in her hair, they tend to strike one another if she moves suddenly.
Then there's clothing. Kimiko is functionality over fashion. Her clothes tend to be torn and a little ratty from constant wear and tear. She doesn't wear skirts she stays in pants or shorts. If she wears a skirt it's usually for one of her coordinating matches. As far as jewelry goes she isn't a big fan of it. She prefers to rely on her natural beauty not shiny things.
Background: Kimiko was born in Cianwood in the Johto region. Her parents were retired pokemon trainers that had decided to settle down somewhere off the beaten path. Her childhood years were pretty normal ones. She had friends, she got along well with others unless of course they slighted her. When that happened she tended to get even, by any means necessary.
As the years passed Kimiko started to get restless and her parents noticed it. They decided to call in a favor from an old friend, a pirate. With Kimiko's consent they sent her off to see the world, to discover new and interesting sights.
It was there amongst the pirate crew she found her dear friend Sneasel and discovered she had a flare for the occasional battle. Not that she did it often. Most of the time she just used her Sneasel to help her with a heist or something, but always with some sort of flare. That's where the idea came from. To start a journey as a trainer and a coordinator. She liked the idea of fighting gym leaders, but also of performing.
With the captains consent she left the crew and came to Cheyenne.
Personality: Kimiko is a strong headed type of person. She rushes into things without thought. She thinks action is more important than words or thought. She's unapologetic about it which is a great combination. Sometimes it makes her sound rude or sometimes foolish, but she's far from either. She's a respectful person, but it has to be earned in her eyes. She's far from stupid, she just finds it boring to be cautious.
She has a bit of a mean streak, but that rarely shows unless pushed. She's a vengeful person and someone that goes on her gut instincts. If she doesn't like someone from a first glance she generally doesn't try to get to know them and will come across as cold or mean. She doesn't care what people think of her so it doesn't bother her much. Which doesn't add much to her warm and cheery disposition that doesn't exist.
Info:
Kimiko found sneasel when they'd just recently left port. The pokemon had been deserted out her in the middle of the ocean. Someone had taken the trouble to pull this poor pokemon on a boat and leave it stranded. Kimiko rescued it and nursed it back to health. The process wasn't easy since the thing was nearly feral and frightened. Kimiko still has scars from it.
The two became companions and have been together since that faithful incident. They have no intentions of parting. That's why she brought her sneasel with her on her journey. She couldn't stand the idea of being without it.
