Full Name: Harper "DJ Znex" Bailey
Gender: Female
Age: 24, July 17
Appearance: Harper doesn't have the same eccentric appearance that most DJs have in common. She looks more like a what one would refer to as "goth" or "emo". She does favor the dark clothing, specifically trench coats and pants that come decked in leather straps and chains. Harper found them to look magnificent when paired with a pop of color, specifically her signature burst of brightly colored eye shadow. Other than that she wore nothing more than chapstick makeup-wise. Anything else she would be found wearing mainly consists of jeans and t-shirts. During her performances it isn't odd to see her decked out in multiple bracelets and rings with the possibility of novelty sunglasses.
Harper likes to keep her hair style basic, favoring double "cat-ear" pony-buns or loose curls. As with her special use of accessories during shows, she will add streaks of color to her normally black hair. On occasion she will wear feathers plucked from the bums of various bird Pokémon or strings of scales from the water pokemon, specifically magikarp. She is built lightly with fair skin, barely tipping the scales at 125 pounds and a maximum height of 5 feet 4 inches.
Background: Harper was born in the Unovan city of Nimbasa. She the third child of Julianna and Mikeal Bailey, both of whom were regular street performance artists. She grew up in an entertainer household. As stated, her parents were street performers who held regular shows at the amusement park each Friday night as well as the occasional performance in the nearby routes. Her older siblings, twins Marion and Keegly, were both employed at the Musical Theater as dance and song coaches for the youth trainers. Every so often Harper would get a chance to join her older sisters in their coach sessions as they helped the aspiring coordinators hone in on their pokemon's talents.
As Harper got older and learned more about the various forms of entertainment found throughout the Pokémon world, she set her sights on following a duo musical/coordinator career. She took up the stage name of DJ Znex at the age of twenty, two years after receiving her first Pokémon as a gift from her parents. As time passed, DJ Znex became only a passing name; far from what she originally anticipated it to be. She soon sought to bring her DJ career to other places outside of Unova, namely the Cheyenne Region. Though it did sit a ways from the other regions, Harper chose it due to its influx of "outsiders". In hopes of said travelers picking up on her shows and spreading her fame throughout their home-regions, she chose to leave home and start anew there while maintaining a coordinator job on the side.
Personality: Harper has the tale-tell signs of someone born to perform. She is energetic and friendly, opening her arms to any and everyone. Her creative side shows in the way she expresses herself through her music and the way she trains her pokemon. She adores affection and being showered in gifts of all sorts and will often return the favor through various means, whether it be items, free tickets to her shows, or even pokemon she thinks will be a perfect match. Being in the center of attention is something she lives for. Any other time she's not getting the necessary attention or being overshadowed, Harper will turn to other means to gain back the lost eyes, giving way to her competitive side. While she is a performer and prepares herself for criticism, Harper takes harsh criticism to heart. Often times she will dwell on whatever negative points brought up and work on them for hours until she perfects them.
Info: She's using the face claim of Re-l Mayer from Ergo Proxy. She's a DJ, or an aspiring one, so she's not really famous. Only those from Nimbasa City would be able to recognize her stage name, though many would only vaguely remember it like one would remember the name of someone brought up as a side comment in a gossip circle. Harper doesn't have any pre-starter so she's a clean slate. <3
