APPEARANCE
BACKGROUND
PERSONALITY
EXTRA INFORMATION
Kimbra definitely has an edgy look about her. She isn't all sunshine and rainbows, even though the accents of her clothes are often bright pinks and purples. Kimbra wears dark clothing, which ranges from short dresses to short skirts, shorts and a trendy blouse. Her fashion sense is feminine, but she keeps it punky and edgy. Her hair rarely gets trimmed, and at the moment, it easily reaches her back, if she does not have it up in a messy bun or ponytail. She likes to dye bits of her hair random colors. The underside of her hair is oftentimes pink while the top is left it's natural black. Her eyes are a bright blue. They are her favorite feature~
BACKGROUND
Her story starts in Johto.
Kimbra was born on August 29th into an average family. She had an average life growing up. Her family lived in Goldenrod, and there she was exposed to all sorts of things as she grew up. Her mother worked in a flower shop while her father ran around Johto as a delivery man. When her mother was busy working, she was left alone to do what she pleased.
At first, Pokemon didn't really interest her. She had been raised around Pokemon, though she never had an interest to own one or raise one. Most of the Pokemon she had been exposed to were "girly" or "dumb-looking", like her mother's Sunflora who helped in her flower shop. Most of the Pokemon just weren't... on her level, or so she thought anyway.
That is, until her father brought her home a special package. "Kimbra, I think you'll like this one", he said to her. The Pokemon he gave her was a Houndour, caught just the night before in one of the routes outside of Ecruteak City. He had never seen one before! It took him many tries to catch it, but when he finally did, he knew Kimbra would like it.
And boy, was he right!
It was edgy and intimidating, just like herself! But the friendship and companionship didn't immediately come about. Kimbra was a bit too bossy at first, and the houndour did not like that it was taken away from it's pack. It was just as stubborn as she was when someone tried make her their friend.
Kimbra dragged Houndour to her little pranks. There was one specific incident in the underground tunnel in Goldenrod. When one of the haircut brothers was giving their "famous haircut", Kimbra threw a match into the garbage can full of hair. It started to smoke and even set up a flame. The prank was a success to her, but she ended up getting caught. The Goldenrod police were about to drag her off somewhere to be punished. They yanked on her arms and tugged at her wrists. It was obvious that they were hurting her. Houndour took notice of her distress and stepped into action, fighting for his trainer's freedom. The matter was settled with a fine after she showed the officials her bruises.
Since that day, Kimbra and her Houndour grew even closer. She became less bossy toward it, and they grew a mutual respect for each other.
Together, they wrecked havoc around the city. Houndour made sure that Kimbra wouldn't get caught again. ;)
When word spread of a revival of Team Rocket, Kimbra's interested immediately spiked. She had heard stories about Team Rocket from years ago, but she never thought they'd rise again. Team Rocket was just the kind of excitement she needed in her average life.
When they took over the radio tower, that's when she made her move. With her dark and rebellious demeanor, it was hard to tell her apart from Team Rocket members, so she fit in quite easily and was able to sneak her way into the ranks.
However, Team Rocket was ultimately disbanded soon after that.
Her spirit wasn't damaged, though. She continues to wait for Team Rocket to surface again... Maybe she'll even help that along. She's pretty devious after all.
Since Team Rocket has failed in nearly all of the continents, she has decided to travel to Cheyenne to try to live out the Rocket legacy. Though training isn't really her style, she is going through the gym challenges to gain more power before she acts~
PERSONALITY
FREE SPIRITED & REBELLIOUS — Kimbra answers to no one but herself. She must assume the leadership role or else she will be a very, very unhappy camper~ The only person she holds respect for is Giovanni, even though she has never met him before. The stories she has heard about him are glorious though. She also does not care what most people think about her. She is brutally honest and does what she wants, when she wants.
OVERBEARING & BOSSY — If it wasn't already obvious from the above description, Kimbra is a very bossy lady. If she doesn't get her way, she will bitch and moan. More often than not, she shoves her way into being the leader, and more often than not, her peers are intimidated by her so the matter is solved quite quickly. If anyone has objections to her ways, she will berate and try to humiliate them. Basically, it's her way or the high way, and if you don't like it, she'll give you a giant middle finger.
DETERMINED & DEDICATED — Though she's a bit of a sour apple, Kimbra has some redeeming qualities. You won't meet anyone as stubborn or dedicated as her. When she sets her mind to something, it will happen, even if it takes a long time. She will make things happen. Now, if she could just work on her bossy attitude, she might be a good leader...
LUSTFUL & FLIRTATIOUS — There's nothing wrong with a little partying, flirting, and flings! It makes the journey through Cheyenne more enjoyable to her. She leaves herself somewhat detached from most people, so she is able to have the constant string of flings behind her. In fact, having some boy toys around makes her feel less alone... The girl's got issues. But she won't admit it. She tries to solve her problems with shameless flirtation ~
