Full Name: Soteria 'Tory' Parthenopaeus
Gender: Female
Age: 18 going on 19 (November 18)
Appearance:
Soteria is at the height of 5'3" and she weighs around 125 lbs. She has beautiful, silky-like, long and wavy light hair and bright blueish-green eyes. Though she is beautiful for her age she doesn't realize it and even if she did she wouldn't be vain about it. She normally wears her hair in either a low ponytail or in a lose braid so that it will stay out of her face and prevent her from keeping her opponent in her line of sight. She wears a knee-length black skirt with a golden belt and a matching blouse to go with it. When she doesn't have her hair in a low ponytail or braid she has it down with a headband in it to keep her bangs out of her eyes.
She wears glasses that complement her face and but it causes her eyes to appear a bit bigger then they actually are. Her blue eyes normally give away her emotions that she tries to hide behind her smiles. So if she is mad or upset she will hide it behind a smile so as not to give away those emotions, but her eyes will give them away for her and they especially show when someone she is close to or she trusts looks in them. She has a light tan skin which brings out the light bit of freckles she has but she doesn't wear make-up to hide them like some girls do. She has a well tone body but it's hard to see in some of her clothing she wears because she doesn't show off. In her hair she has light blond to burgundy highlights. She also has a tattoo that is on her shoulder in the shape of a sun pierce by three lightning bolts. She is seen reading books, especially her weakness in books, romance novels.
Background:
Soteria was born and raised around the Unova Region and had watched her parents as they work in their professions, her mother, Arianthe Parthenopaeus was a breeder, and father Adonis Parthenopaeus was a trainer. They were really protective of their only child but allowed her to see what their job is like so that she will know what is expected of her if she decides to become a trainer, or a breeder, or even both. Her father's male Lucario Atalo was also protective of Soteria and knew that with her kind heart that there are some people out there that will try to take advantage of her. Atalo wouldn't allow that and help Soteria learn how to understand what a Pokémon is saying and feeling. Soteria enjoyed learning how to do this because she believe that being able to understand Pokémon helps the bond between Pokémon and trainer grow stronger.
When she was 16 years old a horrible thing happened. Her dear mother died one day when she went overseas by herself, she normally goes to far away places with Soteria's father, but this time her father was away doing a battle to defend his title as champ in the Johto region, since he became champ after beating the original champ Lance, but this trip was needed, because she was going to go to Kanto, in order to help a fellow breeder in learning how to breed Unova Pokémon with Kanto Pokémon. She went on this trip without waiting for Soteria's father, she was also slightly impatient when it came to breeding. She had promised Soteria that she would call once she got to Kanto safely but the call never came. She learned, on the news the next morning, that the cruise her mother was on had been struck somehow which caused to ship to sink at the bottom of the sea with hardly any survivors. Her mother was one of the unlucky ones to not make it.
When Adonis found out about the death of his wife he went into a deep depression he only got out of it long enough to be able to get them to move from their home in Unova into a new region known as Cheyenne Region. Even with the move to a new place Adonis never got out of his depression and in about a year later he died of heartbreak which left Soteria alone with their Pokémon and ever since then she had been raised by the Lucarios and the Serperiors of her parents until she was able to find a job. She made sure that all Pokémon she caught were being abused by their owner were well cared for by taken them into her own home until they found a home of their own since she could tell what they were feeling.
Even though when she first lost her parents she was at the age to take care of herself Soteria always would have preferred that they were there with her to offer her comfort and advice like they always did when they were alive. As she grew older her ability to speak and understand Pokémon grew so that sometimes she is able to speak to them mind to mind but the side effect of doing this is it causes her headaches so she doesn't do it very often if at all.
Personality:
Soteria a really friendly and kind to people she knows and to people she would like to get to know. She is also a bit of a romantic because of some books she can sometimes be seen reading, mainly romance novels. She has always enjoyed being around Pokemon, mainly thanks to her parents, her father was a trainer and her mother was a breeder. She won't stand by if she sees someone, or catches someone, abusing their Pokémon. She will step up and stop the abuser and if possible turn them in.
Soteria is naive about several things, like boyfriends, and she shy's away from anything having to do with sex since she is nervous about those kind of things. Though she has read about them constantly in her romance novels, that she has read, she is unsure on what to expect from it. Even though she want's fine find her own boyfriend, someday, she would be nervous that he tries to push her into something she isn't yet ready for. She may be gullible but as she grew older she learned to watch out for people who try to take advantage of her, though most of the time she doesn't succeed because of her friendly nature.
She is normally cheerful and kind to strangers as well but she keeps a watch on them to make sure they aren't doing anything suspicious but she is also cautious around them. With her parents she had always been surrounding by Pokémon and sometimes she is able to understand what the Pokémon are trying to say to her, but she has a few favorites of her parents Pokémon that she hopes to one day have her own same species of the said Pokémon. Those favorites were her father's Lucarios, both male and female, and her mothers Serperiors, also both male and female. She also hopes to one day to find true love just like her parents did when they found each other. Soteria is very loyal to those she cares about and will never betray their trust in her. The bad thing about her friendliness is that people try to take advantage of it and try to trick her into doing thing for them.
Also when she grew older she matured and lost most of her innocence as a child because she realized that the world isn't like all flowers, glitter, and unicorns. It is a place that can be both good and bad depending on how you go about your life and how you treat others.
Info: (This will be like a roleplaying sample on how she met her pre-starter Pokemon)
One day, while she was out looking around her new home, she came across a Purrloin who had got herself into trouble. Soteria saw that the little Purrloin was cornered by a few Lillipups and at first she thought it was because of their canine instincts but then she saw that the Purrloin had a bag full of Oran berries in front her. When Soteria saw this she knew the little cat Pokémon had stolen from the Lillipups. She was proving right when she heard a Lillipup say in a very angry growl, ~Give us back our berries you cat thief and we might let you go.~ The Purrloin looked frighten but she seemed to stand her ground and said back in a hiss, ~Make me dog breath.~
Soteria heard enough and gave a soft sigh before she said, "You know you shouldn't steal from other people or Pokémon." This drew all of the Pokemon's attention to her and cause them to have wide eyes before the Lillipup, that seems to be the leader, gave a yelp and said ~Go away we don't want to hurt you but if you get in our way we'll have to get you away~ This had caused Soteria to smile as she said, "So you are protective of a human even if you don't know them. That is good to know Lillipup but I can't turn away. I won't let another Pokémon be hurt no matter what they did."
The Purrloin looked at the human before her with wide eyes realizing that this human female was different from other humans because for one, she is able to understand what they are saying, and for two, this human is defending her and protecting her even though she doesn't know her. The Purrloin watched in shock surprise as the female came over to her and took the bag she had stolen from the Lillipups and held it out to them. "Here you go Lillipup this belongs to you doesn't it," she said softly. The leader Lillipup got over his surprise that the human could understand him and gently took the bag from her hand in his jaws his tail wagging as well as the two others that were with them. The Lillipup then nodded to her before he and his followers took off back to their home.
When the Lillipups were out of her sight Soteria turned to look at the Purrloin who, at that moment, had her stomach growl from her hunger. She wanted to fuss and hiss at the human before her for taking away the berries she had stolen and given them back to those canine's but she didn't have the heart to, especially after the human risk her own skin to save her. Soteria smiled and said, "If your hungry Purrloin then I'll take you to my home and give you something to eat. I'll warn you though I have another canine Pokémon in there. It's my father's Lucario and he is all I have left of my father even though he has gotten older and won't do good in any battles he is still special to me." The Purrloin gave it a few moments thought before she nodded and let Soteria pick her up and take her to her home. Unknown to both Pokémon and trainer their bond had just started that very day.
So for Soteria's Pre-Starter Pokémon can it be a female Purrloin?
