Name (Nicknames?): Hannah Sunshine Jai Gender: Female Date of birth [Age]: 9th of December, 1996 [16]
Appearance:
A charming young woman, who would stand at five foot six inches tall, if not for the fact she is always sitting. Sitting? Yes. In a black and golden wheelchair. It isn't really gold, but painted that way to look pretty. Her skin is fair, and quiet pale due to a lack of sunlight over the years. It almost looks sickly, but that is nothing a good few weeks in the sun won't fix. If she doesn't get sun burned first. Which is more then likely something that will happen. Her skin isn't prefect though. No, she has many scars. The biggest on is on her left leg, just below the knee. This one is made up of many in the shape of a bite mark. It is from an attack that happened by a Pokémon when she was younger. She also has two scars on each hip.
Her hands and feet are rather small even though her legs are long. She is skinny, and doesn't have very much muscle on her body either. Her arms and upper body do have some from wheeling herself around, but not her legs. Her hair is a nice shade of brown. A darker brown, that is more of a chocolate in color. Long and silky it reaches down to just past her shoulders. Behind her left ear she almost always has a flower. Normally pink in coloring, sometimes white though. Her eyes are round, big and purple. Not a bright purple though, more of a lighter shade. They aren't really to huge, but they are clearly bigger then the other parts of her face. Her nose is rather small and her lips thin. Never does she wear makeup so her lips are always a pale shade of pink. Which is a shame she would look pretty in makeup.
Something a bit odd about her is that she likes to bundle up. A blanket is always found in her lap, and another one is always found draped over her chair. In the colder months she wraps herself in these blankets even if she isn't cold. However no matter the season she never wears jeans, no. She only wears a dress, sometimes a skirt, with a short or long sleeve shirt.
History:
Life for this young woman has been a hard one from the get go. Born to a Dawn and Hunter jai, of Verona City. She was very small at birth, almost too small. Which was expected seeing as she was born a month early, her and her twin brother Arnold. She, being the younger of the two was what some preferred to call her as 'the runt of the litter'. When her grandmother referred to her as such it would always make her mother see red. Not at Hannah, no, her mother loved her far to much to ever be mad at her due to something that had been out of the child's control. No, she would always get mad, angry, almost enraged at Hannah's grandmother, and Dawn's mother. Barbara.
Growing up Hannah had many troubles, and besides her problems she had to deal with, with her health. She also had to deal with Grandmother Barbara. Or grandmama, as she was told to call her. With low self esteem due to not being able to use her legs at a young age, Hannah also developed a fear of Pokémon as well as people in general. Why? Well do to Grandmama's actions to try to turn her little runt of the litter into a prize. Hannah's parent's didn't like leaving their daughter in her care, but often had no choice. Both Dawn and Hunter worked two jobs to keep the family a float. They could have asked for money from Barbara as the elderly woman had plenty of it and was well off, but no. Barbara was a selfish old woman, so that was out of the question. She would however babysit her grandchild, for only a small fee.
Growing up under her care, Hannah and Arnold where made to do many different things. Hannah was made to read at least one book a day, while Arnold was forced to join sports at school. Sadly though, spending so much time with their grandmother, Arnold grow to be a selfish and strict young lad. Taking after his grandmother's grooming quiet well. Hannah, she just sunk lower and lower each day. She wasn't allowed to go out and play. She was just forced to sit in a room alone and read. When she would ask to go out and play, she would always be told 'who would want to play with you my little runt?' and told to read her book. Books, books where her only friend growing up.
Never was she allowed to play with pokemon, expect for one day when she was eleven she was allowed to play with a Pokémon that belonged to a friend of her grandmothers. Oh, anyone that could be friends with that woman. Hannah should have known not to trust it. The Pokémon had been a Houndoom. A nasty, and mean one at that. The thing lunged at her, knocked her out of her wheelchair, and dragged her across the room by her leg. Scared out of her mind she screamed and when everyone came running she was the one to get in trouble. Not the beast that attacked her. Why? Well it's owner calmed that his Pokémon would never to such a thing, and that Hannah was lying to them.
After that day she was never allowed to even talk about Pokémon. Not while her grandmother was around. After that attack she spent two weeks in the hospital, which was fine with her. The hospital was like a home away from home to her. Having spent so much time in it all her life. However after four surgeries, two on each hip her parents had decided enough was enough. So their daughter had stayed in her wheelchair, and probably would for the rest of her life. Her problem wasn't anything to do with her back, the reason she couldn't walk, was due to the way her hips had grown, or rather the way they hadn't grown. Hannah had been happy though when her parents said no more surgeries. She was also sad, she wouldn't be in so much pain anymore, but she would be away from the nice nurses that let her due more then just read books. They also kept her grandmother away from her.
Well anyways her parents where really upset with how her grandmother was breaking down their daughter even more. One day things got to a point where they told Barbara that she wasn't allowed to be around Hannah any longer. This was when she was thirteen. Oh that day, Barbara did the unthinkable when Hannah told her no. She wasn't going to read a book, that she was going outside to listen to the rain. Her grandmother snapped and slapped Hannah hard across the face. So hard in fact that she left a bruise in the shape of a hand print. By this point her brother Arnold had already left on his journey, which made Barbara more better then her 'prefect' grandchild had left and that she was stuck with her little runt.
Hannah ran away, or rather wheeled herself away in a hurry from her grandmother's house. Crying and very upset she ended up at her mother's job where a co owner of her mother found her out in the rain and sobbing. Hannah had been lost, scared and hurt when found. She didn't trust the co owner, but when her mother came out she could see it in her mother eyes. Everything would be okay.
The polices where called and Barbara was arrested for child abuse. However after three days of being in a jail Barbara was released and charges dropped by her parents. She never understood why, but the next three years where hard on her. They where the hardest time for the young woman for many reasons. She had no friends, in school she was always the quiet, geek who kept to herself. Books where still her only friend. She had not self confident to go make some real friends either.
Hannah had never thought about going on a journey like her twin brother. No, her parents? Yes. It had been decided for her by them that she would go out into the world and explore it. She didn't understand why they would force her to do such a thing, but she respected them and obeyed. She was told she wasn't allowed to come back unless she had defeated all the gyms, but calling and writing was a must. So she gathered some supplies and left to go off on this great journey that was suppose to be a good thing for her. Even though she was scared out of her mind of strangers and Pokémon. This should be very interesting.
Interactions with Pokemon:
She has had very little interaction with Pokémon. In fact the only time she really did anything with a Pokémon was when she was attacked by one as a child. She doesn't have a favorite, for she is scared by them all, but if forced to choose she would most likely pick a baby pokemon, or a Pokémon that looked like some type of stuffed toy.
Personality: - Untrusting
Meeting new people scares her, if left to to her she wouldn't need to. However that isn't the care, so she is very uneasy when first meeting new people. Never does she trust right away. They could be the nicest person in the world and she still wouldn't want them to touch her or her things.
- Nervous
More like scared out of her mind. She hasn't had a lot of experiences in her life to help her grow in a positive way. As such she is nervous about everything. The dark, at night she sleeps with a flashlight on. Odd sounds, she hides away until they are gone, or at least stopped.
- Fears Pokémon
For a Pokémon trainer that is never a good thing. She is scared to touch pokemon, to handle them, to be around them. She worries all the time if they are going to attack her. If she has to touch them, she is more then likely to cry or scream. Sometimes she does both. No matter what she does she always shakes.
- Smart
It isn't all bad stuff with her. No she is very smart. Book smart that is, she also loves to read and get lost in those books. Logic comes easy to her, math, reading they where all her good subject in school.
- Sweet
A sweet hearted young woman, she is very caring. It is almost odd. She wants to help, but she is just so timid she never really does help. She lacks confident and often asks herself if she is allowed to do this or that. Even when she is clearly the only one not doing something.
- Honest
No matter how scared she might seem there is one thing that never changes. She is honest. She has enough respect for others to tell the trust. It might take her a little longer then it should to get it out, but she will never tell a lie. Pre-starter information: N/A, no pre-starter Pokémon Goals in Cheyenne: To become less afraid of pokemon, and make friends. As well as prove to not just herself, but the world that she can be a champion just like everyone else.
