Full Name: Markus Lee Star. Gender: Female. Age: Twenty. Birthday: January twelfth.
Appearance: Markus is what you would call, traditionally pretty. She's about five foot four so she's not all that tall. Her hair is a little past her shoulder and a pale blond that causes her deep blue eyes to stand out. She has a small frame, elegant and swan like. Her skin is pale just like her hair. Her voice is light and warm like honey, though when she's angry poison drips off every syllable. And when she yells she gets a high pitched squeak at the end of the occasional word. Her touch and step are delicate and she walks like she's on air. And when she battles it's in an almost dancing fashion, she twirls and moves her arms like a ballerina. In all honesty, she'd probably be better suited for contests.
As for her fashion sense, it's odd. Though she normally wears a simple white dress with her hair over one side of her neck just past her shoulder. Occasionally she will wear a grey sweater with a black skirt. When she's working out in the garden she wears a pair of men's sweatpants and a loose fitting tee and ties her hair up in a mess of a bun.
Markus is not as feminine as she puts off, but because of her masculine name she puts more effort into looking like a girl. As far as body modifications and the like go -- she doesn't have any piercings. However she does have a tattoo across her collar bone that reads 'you can't put your arms around a memory.'
Background: Born to her mother Renae, who was once a happy and sweet person. However, she was raped and thus became very depressed. She made her mother take care of Markus until she was five, not even wanting to be around her own child. When she was five she moved in with her mother, she was so happy to be with her mother again. Her mother was doing better and was happy. Her mom gave her sunflower seeds and she began the start of her garden. When she was seven her mom started using drugs again and ended up as an in patient. Giving the poor child a fear of drugs, and alcohol due to the others in the rehab. Markus' grandmother moved into their house. Markus continued to take care of the garden, feeling at one with nature even at a young age. Won first prize at a local fair for her flowers at twelve. Her mom still wasn't around and she stated to think of her grandmother as her mother. At thirteen Markus began to gain interest in Pokémon as they found her garden to be a suitable home. Markus befriended a sweet Bulbasaur and a timid Sentret. They were her only real friends for a very long time. She spent almost everyday outside playing with them. Eventually they stopped coming around and Markus grew depressed, though not as badly as her mother. She wanted nothing more than to find them. She decided to become a Pokémon trainer and go on a journey to find them, though she didn't have any Pokémon during her entire journey. She suspects Team Rocket stole them away.
Markus eventually became reunited with the Bulbasaur a year or so later. She returned him home where he now lives with her Grandmother since she is not there herself. As much as she wanted to keep the Bulbasaur for herself, her grandmother needed some help around the house. Markus decided to leave home again, and this time she decided against becoming a trainer. Markus decided that if she was going to become anything, she would become a breeder. Not that she wasn't going to train and try and become strong -- she just wanted her main focus to be around breeding.
When Markus was leaving her home there was a strange sound coming from a close forest. Being curious and helpful the pale woman entered the darkness of the forest mouth. Following the source of the noise she found herself face to face with a Charizard. The strange noise was the erratic flapping of the wings at different times. The large orange reptile was breathing heavily, obviously injured. One wing was folded slightly toward its back. Markus brought the Charizard food for several days until it was well enough to leave. The huge creature showed no interest in her aside from when she brought food. When the Charizard was well enough and his wing had healed fully, he left. But not before scaring the poor girl senseless. She was humming softly walking through the trees carrying a basket of juicy apples when suddenly a huge stream of fire seemed to erupt from the sky. Markus jumped back in time, only the fringe of her dress getting singed. But her fearful mind was damaged and she has a great fear of the great orange reptiles.
Personality: Markus is one of the most honest people you will ever meet. Brutally so. She'll never tell you a lie or sugar coat something to make you feel better. Some may see this as a negative trait, but to her it makes her better. Along with her honesty, she is simple and easy to please. She has a deep seated respect for everyone she meets, and even if they wrong her - she is quick to forgive. Her voice is gentle and soothing, though she has a bit of a foul mouth. She has been known to use Arceus' name in vain on many occasions. Even with her inexperience in battling she seems to have picked it up rather quickly, in no means is she some sort of prodigy, but she still seems to have talent.
Despite her easy going and calm demeanor, she'll turn like a switch if you push her too far. She'll go so far as to slap you across the face. But as soon as she's done, she's all smiles again. Perhaps bipolar. Perhaps not. However, she doesn't trust very easily. She's incredibly secretive about her past. Her honesty has gotten her in trouble many times and will probably continue to due so until her later years. She tends to be a little immature sometimes, getting over excited and jumpy over the smallest things. She tends to be a little bit rash and doesn't think everything through.
Despite her blunt attitude and normal snappy attitude, there are some things that leave her speechless. The use of drugs or alcohol will cause her to retreat into her shell and refuse to come out like a timid Omanyte. Even cigarettes make her mentally sick even though they're not illegal or disastrous. Due to her mother's drug and alcohol problems she associates both of these with unhappiness, rape, and the ruination of families and friendships. She'll never touch either of them and refuses to associate in a friendly manner with anyone who does.
Markus' biggest flaw is her naive nature. She seems to be completely oblivious to more mature natures, despite her age. She'll never understand when people are 'coming onto her' or making a perverse joke. She'll most likely give a nervous confused laugh or just blink.
When she was young, Markus read up a lot on ancient Pokémon lore. About Groudon, and Kyogre, and the rest of them. She's incredibly fascinated with most of them. More than anything Markus wants to meet the great Zapdos. Her fascination with that particular legendary is a mystery, but she will never give up until she meets it. She even carries a small charm depicting the great Zapdos along with her in her bag, perhaps to protect her. But mostly, it's like a security blanket. And it's all she has left of the mother she once knew.
Info: None. [:
