Trainer Profile

Natalia Lane Beecher "I draw..."
Gender: Female Birthday: April 18th, 182 AG Age: 18 years | | Astrological Signs: In accordance with the Eastern Zodiac, Natalia was born into the year of the Zebrastrika - a befitting occurrence given her flare for those shockingly adorable electric types. In addition, her birthday, as dictated by the Western Zodiac her mother so ardently adores, just barely lands her within the astrological reign of Faridder the Ampharos. | Trainer Class: Freelance Artist and Rookie Breeder
Height: 5 feet 3 inches
Weight: 110 pounds | Hair Color & Style: Unlike her wayward brothers who hold purchase over heads of ebony curls many a woman would die for, Natalia's own coffee hued locks are exceedingly thin and lack the distinctive volume characterized by both of her siblings. If anything, she takes distinctly after her father in this department, a fact that she often finds herself at odds with. Even more depressing - to her at least - is the reality that, on the few rare occasions it decides to make itself interesting, her hair only becomes marginally wavy at best. Nonetheless, Natalia has long since learned to make do with her hectic tresses. After all, when a girl's hair refuses to stay tied back and out of her face due to it's inability to stay bound for extended periods of time, there are but only so many options left for her to choose from. Hence her decision to cut it; hairspray and her have never had a friendly relationship.
Truth be told, after much contemplation and debate, Natalia decided to crop her hair down to a much more reasonable length - in her opinion - shortly after her seventeenth birthday. Reaching just below the base of her skull in comparison to its once impressive waist length version, the girl's coffee hued tresses have been fashioned into a series of layers designed to add a semblance of volume to their look. . The flyaway strands around her face are, of course, left alone purposefully; after all, she doesn't wish to appear too pristine. Thankfully, her hair has taken to curling along the edges with its new style, lending Natalia a cute, if not tomboyish, look. Because of this, she has long since determined that this 'new look' is more befitting of her energetic personality than her old, conservative one ever was. | Eyes: Natalia possess the eyes of a true observationalist: piercing, calculating, and reflecting her innermost thoughts for others to judge at their own discretion as she in turn does the same to them. If anything, they serve as two true windows to both soul and mind - two forces constantly shaping the girl's life. In fact, there are many aspects of the girl's life reflecting that very theme. The brunette's hazel irises, for instance, reflect her mother's own sun kissed orbs while the darker rings of green that blend into their outer edges serve as a combination of her father's darker gaze into her much lighter one. Even in the most basic of places she is a combination of two exceedingly willful individuals. Nevertheless, even with the intermixing of the two colors, Natalia's eyes have retained an almond shape framed by thick lashes and accompanied by trim, artistically arched eyebrows.

"...for those who cannot..."
Clothing/Accessories: A girl born into an urban sprawl of modern innovations intermixed with faint traditional wares, Natalia's outfit is designed to reflect the unique culture she was raised in. Not to say that she dresses unusually by any means, the brunette simply accessorizes according to her own tastes. Tastes which, if you were to ask those with close ties to the girl, don't always reflect the latest trends. Then again, Natalia isn't always one to follow the status quo.
| Warm Weather |
|---|
 | Natalia dresses for comfort and practicality, mixing in fashion only as an after thought. In warmer weather she can be found adorned in her signature outfit: a pair of black denim shorts over top of pastel yellow leggings, a white Bermuda collared blouse and a simple black and grey ball jacket. Dependent on the heat the jacket can either be found on her person, tied around her waist or stuffed haphazardly into her bag. As far as footwear is concerned, on her feet preside a pair of hidden wedge ankle boots with white toes, a black body and laces crossing up the front. Of course the brunette understands that not all environments support her normal choice in clothing, as such she carries with her a more suitable outfit for harsher terrains. Said outfit includes a pair of khaki shorts, a white tank top or short-sleeved shirt, hiking boots and a red bandanna. If she is not in either of these outfits, the brunette will most often pull on a pair of shorts, a tank top or loose blouse and some sneakers. Although she tends to shy away from accessories, Natalia does keep a pair of silver studs in her ears and a cuff on the cartilage of her left. In addition, she has the habit of tying a pair of small bells into her hair if only to instill a splash of originality. Of course her sketchbook and pencils are never too far out of reach and her belt, on which she fixes her pokeballs, is never far behind either, tucked as snugly to her shorts as it is. |
| Cold Weather |
|---|
 | When the temperature takes a turn in the favor of ice types, Natalia is quick to trade in her warm climate wear for something a little more befitting of the cooler days to come. Rather than leggings and shorts, she instead wears only a single pair of black cotton-lycra leggings. Likewise, her jacket and blouse are exchanged for a long cream pullover sweater that falls to her mid-thigh in length. The sweater itself if knitted, featuring parallel rows of black buttons along its front and too large sleeves. She also adds a splash of color to her outfit with a knitted yellow scarf that is kept secure around her neck without either end hanging loose. Her boots, rather than being in a hidden wedge style, are simple black winter-styled boots with a lining of cream colored fur along the top. Of course, just as she keeps a more practical outfit for exploration in the warmer months, Natalia also keeps a variant of clothing for those long treks through the wilderness in the winter. Composed of full length cargo pants, hiking boots, a long sleeved white shirt and an outdoors winter jacket, the attire ensures that her travels are made easier and in comfort. |
"...so that they might..."
| General Appearance |
|---|

Natalia is a slender framed female constructed from long legs, a trim waistline, and modest curves. More willowy and lithe than curvaceous, her stature is indicative of an active lifestyle and a distinctive form of feminine grace. Well, maybe not so much on the graceful side; tripping appears to be one of her favored pastimes after all. Nonetheless, with her striking heart shaped face, hazel eyes and Cupid's bow lips, she is a generally attractive female. The fact that she is most constantly smiling, or at the very least making her face undergo an assortment of ever shifting expressions - a show her friends and family often enjoy witnessing -, only adds to her latent charm.
Her appearance, olive toned skin aside, is not entirely flawless however. The bridge of her nose is slightly crooked from a break in her early childhood, her hands are not perfectly manicured but are rather an assortment of faint callouses and semi chipped nails often coated in paints and inks; her feet are a tad bit too wide for some shoes, and her trim waistline dictates that she not allow herself to overindulge in food or else she risk it showing. Of course there is always the factor of her relatively short height to throw into the mix as well, but what she lacks in that regard Natalia makes up for in spunk. |

"...one day experience..."
| Personality |
|---|
 | Truly a free spirit by nature, Natalia prefers to work and act on her own terms as opposed to finding herself tied down by the authority of another. While she may not always enjoy playing the role of leader, it surely beats a reality in which she is prevented from doing as she desires. Innately curious, the brunette harbors no interest in the act of brooding. If she can't go out and experience situations and occurrences for herself, there is no reason for her to dwell on the possibilities longer than necessary. She is truly unafraid of bounding outside of her comfort zone, a girl of action who plans on solving the puzzle of life one piece at a time.
Nevertheless, while she may find the moment to be fun and exciting, the brunette's true pleasure comes from the social interactions she shares with others. Quite indeed, the female is an extrovert through and through, her empathetic disposition and contagious enthusiasm winning her a far stretching circle of friends though only a select few of those can be considered 'good' friends. Yet there is more to Natalia than a simple warm smile and infectious energy. Despite some of her initial awkwardness, the female is a surprisingly excellent communicator. If you can push aside her witticisms that is. Regardless of her sarcasm and wit, the brunette has quite the smooth tongue and is fairly adept at steering conversations in her favor through subtle suggestions and word plays. Nonetheless, she is an astute enjoyer of both small talk and deep conversations, having no reservations about offering an ear to others.
Perhaps in correspondence with her affinity for observation and interaction, Natalia has long since found herself harboring the dream of someday becoming a pokemon artist and freelance researcher. Simply put, the brunette aims to expand her horizons beyond the confines of basic pokemon breeding - not that she doesn't like the profession, she's simply a lover of diversity. After all, she requires two main things to get her motivated: the ability to explore new ideas and the opportunity to share those very concepts with others who share her passion. While she could easily become a mainstream breeder like her parents, the brunette has always found herself striving for something more. Her creativity and adaptability, as well as her profound love for pokemon, have compelled her forward throughout the years towards her larger goal. Of course, it also helps that she's a dedicated worker, even if she doesn't always remember to cross her t's and dot her i's.
Unfortunately, Natalia is also inclined towards overthinking things. Whether it's trying to figure out someone's motives or attempting to reason what an action means in the general scheme of everything, the brunette's ever active mind often results in bouts of stress. Though she is capable of finding a means to relax with relative ease, she is by no means immune to becoming overwhelmed. As such, her temper can be easily, and is often, triggered without warning. The intensity of said temper merely depends on her amount of accumulated stress. Like an overheated teapot ready to blow its top, Natalia internalizes her ire until she runs out of room to hold the excess steam. When she gets around to exploding she does so with a bang.
Of course it's rather hard to forget that Natalia has harbored a long lasting flare for the visual arts, and although she wasn't a particularly gifted artist - whatever your parents say, potato people aren't exactly awe inspiring - in the beginning, years of dedication and practice have allowed her to develop and strengthen her drawing abilities. Now the activity serves as both a means for relaxation and an inspiration for her adventure. And it ought to be considering what she spends on new supplies. Regardless of her spending habits, it is when she is effectively 'in the zone' that Natalia draws upon her calmer, more composed side. Not that she isn't capable of doing such on a normal basis, it is just that the brunette is able to lose both herself and any worldly problems in her work. Not to mention that, despite her usually 'global' - leaving all of her possessions spread out around her in an organized mess - means of organizing, Natalia is surprisingly neat and tidy when handling her art supplies. Nonetheless, if her hands aren't smudged and covered in whatever medium she's using, the brunette doesn't consider the job done.
While she is a generally open person who freely speaks her mind, Natalia never wears her heart on her sleeve. Her spontaneity, though sometimes taken as a show of immaturity, serves the purpose of getting across her ideals, not to express her innermost thoughts and feelings. Regardless of her own lack of transparency, the brunette can be strangely persistent when attempting to understand the mechanics of other people. After all, she's always open to a good mystery. Nonetheless, Natalia has the uncanny habit of getting too involved in the lives of others. While not entirely meddlesome, her desire to be the selfless and supportive friend often results in the neglect of her own needs. Sadly, giving away so much of herself means that others aren't always able to give the same back in return. |
| History |
|---|
 | Natalia's fascination with pokemon, like most other children, began when she was exceedingly young. Before she could walk, before she could talk, before she could even sit up straight there were pokemon. Everywhere. And that is definitely no understatement - the creatures were literally around her from day in til day out. Of course, when born into a family of pokemon fanatics that's only to be expected. Then again, when one pauses to consider the numerous facets of Natalia's childhood, maybe fascination isn't the right word for what she felt at the time. Wonderment perhaps, curiosity, or maybe even a touch of fear. All of these would serve as far better descriptions of her attitude, but no matter. Regardless of the proper terminology, as the daughter of two devout pokemon breeders and the youngest of three, the brunette's life was destined to be one long, hectic roller coaster ride from the get go. And hectic it most certainly was.
Truth be told, it is only natural to expect a child born into a home practically run by pokemon to harbor an appreciation and fondness for the creatures. It is only natural to assume that such a child would be more than willing to spends hours upon hours playing with the animals, treating them as one would family. After all, when a person is surrounded by pokemon on a daily basis it is only seemingly a matter of second nature for him/her to consider them they way one would a sibling. Certainly it would only be natural to think this way; yet act this way Natalia did not. Or maybe she had in the beginning, back before all the pranks and frights; however, by the time she was three, the brunette was absolutely terrified of the creatures.
No one is exactly certain as to when this fear began, only that it was the result of two wayward brothers and one equally mischievous pokemon. Of course the main culprits to the whole affair can easily be identified as her eldest brother, Dylan, and her father's Gengar, though they learned long ago that pride was not the proper emotion to harbor in regards to the affair. Well, Dylan learned his lesson at least; Gengar is an entirely different story. But no matter, given the circumstances it is not a matter of rocket science to conclude that Ivan, the youngest of the two boys, was merely strung along for the ride. Truth be told, he has never been the scheming type, and it is generally Dylan pulling the strings in their relationship. Either way, the pranks set up by her beloved brother and carried out by the Gengar soon had Natalia too afraid to sleep on her own at night, much less dare to peek under her bed or in her closet. Not only that, but her views on the rest of the pokemon living with her became tainted with fright as well. Thankfully her parents were not tolerant of their daughter's fear - how was she supposed to live in their household if she couldn't look at a pokemon without whimpering? - and often times forced her to interact with the more docile of their companions. While such actions helped to an extent, if not simply instilling the knowledge that her parents ruled the roost, it was her friendship with one particular pokemon that truly dispelled the brunette's phobia.
Said pokemon, a Manectric a bit rough around the edges, took a progressive liking to Natalia upon its arrival in her parents' care. It's original owner had been a family friend, an elderly man that had first introduced her parents to the city many years before. When his family refused to take in his pokemon after his passing, claiming to lack the means to care for it properly, Natalia's mother stepped in to re-home the Discharge Pokemon. Little did she know that the pokemon's new, permanent home would be none other than her own. Nonetheless, despite the electric type acting a tad standoffish and the friendship between child and pokemon being a bit rocky at first, Manectric and Natalia eventually found a trusted partner and confident within one another over the years. As a result, the brunette's fear progressively diminished, and by the time she was eight the girl was helping her parents with their work as much as she could.
Around this same time Natalia's flare for art sprouted, a passion that has continued to follow her throughout her life thus far. It was a chance encounter, a true occurrence of being in the right place at the right time; or maybe it was fate deciding to play her hand. Whatever the reason, the brunette had merely been running an errand for her father, tasked with the simple job of picking up some grooming supplies from a neighbor, when she saw her. Of course the elderly woman hadn't appeared special by any means - if anything she seemed rather eccentric with a messy updo, oversized frock and paint splattered clothing - but looks can often be misleading. Besides, street artists weren't an uncommon sight in Metropolitan Avenue; it wasn't as though she hadn't seen one before. They lined plenty of street corners, always offering a nice portrait or selling pre-drawn wares as it was. However, this particular woman was doing something Natalia had never seen until that moment: she was sketching two pokemon, a plusle and a minun, as they scurried about in front of her. Now the act of drawing pokemon was nothing if not a common occurrence, but watching the woman capture the electric types in perfect motion, actually seeing her work, instantly garnered the young brunette's attention. It hadn't taken the curious and outspoken girl much time to approach the artist, her obvious wonderment and charming smile earning her an invitation to sit and watch her work. Natalia may have been late in returning home that night, but the canvas tucked under her arm, a gift from the artist, did much more than simply make up for the lecturing she received. From then on she would scour the street for any signs of the woman. On the days she was there and the brunette had no pressing responsibilities or chores at home, Natalia took to sitting and observing the artist at work. Eventually, as weeks turned into months and months into years, the brunette even began to sketch alongside the woman. Of course her pieces were rudimentary at best, but after a few lessons from the artist herself and hours spent practicing at home, Natalia was eventually able to hone her own skills.
Of course Natalia's childhood wasn't all drawings and pokemon. She, like most other children her age, also attended school. Of course, whether or not she was pleased by that fact was dependent on the day. Nonetheless, the brunette was a generally good student who specialized in linguistic and history courses. Thankfully her best friends, Lani Ervine and Crispin Waters, could help her with the classes she was not so gifted in – classes such as math and science. The three were practically inseparable. In fact they were so close-knit that they organized their secondary schooling schedules and extracurricular activities to ensure that they had as many classes with one another as they could. Yet, like all people, the three teenagers had different interests in life. Lani dreamed of being a coordinator, Crispin strived to become an explorer and Natalia wanted to conduct field research of her own to better herself as a pokemon breeder. With their goals set and hearts yearning for adventure, the three friends came to the decision to head out for a year or two after graduating secondary school.
Now with a world of opportunities stretched out before her, Natalia can’t wait to take the first step.
