Appearance:
Grace is a pretty young girl with long, slightly curly blond hair and light green eyes. She is about 162cm and has a slender build. With subtle muscles underneath her rosy skin, and a sunny expression, she appears to be a healthy and athletic trainer.
Grace tends to dresses in a tomboyish style. Short jeans, belt, and ankle support sport shoes are her favorites. She is often seen wearing jacket over tank top. Sometimes she wears a baseball hat and/or scarf as accessories. Graciea does not like bracelet, she prefers watch or wrist brace.
She usually ties her hair into a high ponytail when she's writing or exploring and let her hair goes loos in a more formal situation. In the winter, she wears a long with fur coat. Graciea wears a simple necklace, a black string supporting a small tear shaped ruby. She also owns a black single strap bag.
Background:
Graciea grows up in a big city with both of her parents busily working. Due to the nature of their respective jobs, this required them to go on business trips for weeks. Graciea and her younger sibilings, Lily and Evan were left at the hand of their babysitter whenever their parents were away. Graciea was in charge of helping to takes care of her younger siblings and the simple chores whenever the parents returned from the exhaustive trips. She never gets enough love from her parents, which probably contributes to her viewing her younger siblings as burdens rather than close friends. She was not a very happy child, and her parents really felt sorry for her.
At age 10, her parents got her a Pokémon egg which hatched into a vulpix, whom quickly becomes her best friend for sometimes. That was when she became interested in Pokémon; she would spend most of her free time hanging around Pokémon labs to learn more about Pokémon adventures. 4 years after that, she sets out on the Pokémon journey, partially to escape her responsibility as an older sister. To this day, she rarely returns home but remain in connects with her family via phone calls and e-mails.
Graciea had spent 4 years trying to convince her parents of letting her went on her adventure. She had come up with many ways to demonstrate that she can survive on her own. She would volunteer around the near-by lab and assistant the researchers in simple field works work out on a daily basis, hanging around the pokemon gym and actively helped around the house with a sunny attitude. Around the time her of 14th birthday, her father, Alexander Paragon, almost give in. But her mother, Beatrice, who never likes pokemon in the first place, will probably never agree on her becoming a trainer.
During these 4 years, the "ice" surrounding the younger Paragons finally began to melt. Perhaps because Graciea was so intend to act her best behaviors, which meant to be nice and caring for her younger siblings. After truly spending time with them, Graciea developed a deep attachment to her younger siblings. If even briefly, she wondered if she should just give up on the adventure and followed the path that her parents have set out for her.
But in the end, what she care about the most, is what she wants. One week after her birthday, in the early morning when the sun hadn't even raise, she left a note on her door, gather her supplies that she had prepared over the years and left home. On her way to another city, she received a phone call from her father.
To paraphrase, they are disappointed in her, they are too busy to chase her down and she can do whatever she wants but just remember that whatever happens, it will be her own responsibility. In the phone call, he hinted that he had accepted her decision and that she could go back whenever she wanted. Although he never raised his voice, it was hard to not hear the suppressed anger in his tone. Graciea's emotions were mixed, although she acted nonchalantly. At this age, there was no way that she can she find the courage to go back and face her family.
Personality:
Carefree, rush, pushy, friendly, open minded, somewhat sarcastic, irresponsible, "sad excuse to call an older sister", can't-stay-in-one-place, all of those words above can be use to describe Grace. Graciea is not a bad person deep down; she would not actively hurt someone. Given the situation, she would gladly help people to entertain herself. Her problem is that she's too self-centered.
Graciea loves to travel and explore new places; she loves to play and meets new people. In fact, new situations often interest her and her naturally curious personality often gets her into trouble. Graciea is more of an ambition explorer than a Pokémon trainer, that being said, she seems to have a talent of bringing out potentials in Pokémon. Greaciea is an opportunist but not an optimistic; she could be a coward at times and runs away from situations.
Info:
Vulpix was Graciea's best friend, Graciea was the first person that vulpix saw when he opened his eyes. Since then, they have done everything together; vulpix is the one being who's always on Graciea's side no matter what. Even thought he was a weak and tiny little pokemon, he had a strong and warm personality. Vulpix was special in Graciea's eyes; he adored her as if she was someone reliable and important. That, more than anything made Graciea wanted to take vulpix along in her journey. She was probably being incredibly selfish, such journey couldn't possibly be easy or safe for a young pokemon, but she didn't care. She needed the support, if only it was the support in spirit.
Vulpix was a naive little pokemon, he would blindly believed and supported Graciea, despite the fact that she had made numerous errors in the past. During the years that they had spent together, vulpix would always come to her defense, mostly by barking and puff out his fur to make himself looked bigger. Deep down, vulpix has a caring and warm personality, he would never hurt anyone unless it was to protect. Graciea talked to him as if he was a human being of her age and she discussed her problems with him. She could always guessed, very accurately about pokemon's emotions, but with vulpix she took understanding to another level, it was as if she could actually understand what he was saying. Secretly, vuplix made Graciea felt unease at times, he was unselfish and she was the opposite.
