Trainer Profile Character Name: Lyla Sumner Nickname: N/A Gender: Female Age: 16 Trainer Class: Lass Height: 5’ 4’’ Weight: 118 lbs Hair Color & Style: Black straight hair that hangs just below chin height. Eyes: Dark brown. Her eyebrows are thin arches that hang over her face. Her eyes themselves are formed from softer curves and don't hold serious expressions well. Clothing/Accessories: Lyla typically wears a black hoodie sweatshirt over a dark-blue tee. She’ll often pair this with either jeans or a short skirt depending on the weather. She will never be found without her favorite black hat with a small kitten design and the word “Error” printed on it or her trusty reddish-brown backpack where she keeps her items and spare pokeballs. She prefers wearing flats or sneakers and hates anything with heels. During winter she'll often don a dark-gray coat and a purple-green striped scarf. She hates wearing mittens but she has an adorable pair with slakoth prints on them and she will wear high-cut black fuzzy boots. General Appearance: Lyla’s body is slender and just beginning to take on a more adult beauty. Her cheeks are pronounced giving her a spectacular pouting look when she’s upset, her sisters dubbed it her "fish-face". Her expressions are usually apathetic, tired, or confused. She has a “lost” feel to her because she tends to avoid eye contact whenever talking with someone and it makes her appear disinterested. Her skin is very pale and its evident she isn’t used to being outdoors much. Her hands will often be covered in ink or marker due to her obsession with doodling in her notebooks. When she smiles it generally doesn't reach her eyes, making it seem like she doesn't care all that much about other people. Her frowns, however, cause everything to shift and her cheeks to puff out. It is far easier to tell when Lyla is upset than when she's happy. Lyla usually holds strange postures. She's always leaning over to one side, or stumble-walking to change her own perspective. People have called her an air-head in the past for it but she feels that seeing the world from different angles helps her understand Sanzy more. Image Hometown: Sangproctor City, West Godai Personality: Lyla is the epitome of laziness. She hates physical activity with a passion and would much rather curl up with a book than go outside on an adventure. She loves reading, writing, and drawing and she has a passion for the arts. At the same time she’s a genuinely fun person and she has a great sense of humor, though she can tend to be a bit morbid at times with it. She’s not overly concerned with fashion and tends to wear the same outfit or style no matter where she goes unless she’s trying to impress someone. She is usually quiet and she can even be a bit shy at first when meeting new people. She’s not very competitive and doesn’t enjoy high stress situations. She warms up to people quickly once the ice has finally been broken, though, and she is very kind and respectful. She loves talking and hearing about other people’s dreams and she tends to get a bit fangirlish over celebrities in her own silent way. Lyla doesn’t like fire pokemon and will usually avoid them whenever possible. She has a slight phobia of flames from when she was a child and it haunts her to this day. She dreams of one day facing her fears but understands it’ll take a lot of work to get that far. Her favorite pokemon are water and normal types. She’s not an overly intense person and she enjoys the easier attitude most water and normal types have over say fighting, dragon, or fire types. It’s just personal preference. Her absolute favorite pokemon ever is slowpoke and she regrets she’s never yet had the opportunity to catch one. Lyla has dreamed her entire life about one day becoming a famous artist or author. She writes short stories in her notebook every day and even takes the time to (badly) illustrate them. She's never had much talent but she practices it with fervor. It is unfortunate that her stories tend to only appeal to her own unique perspective. Most people don't want to read her tales of shipping celebrities or the humorous adventures of the world's slowest slowpoke. History: Lyla is the youngest daughter of Jannett Sumner who's good for nothing husband ran off to become a pokemon trainer. She has five older sisters, each with their own unique perspectives on life. But of those five, Lyla's favorite was Sage. Sage was the oldest in the family and ended up becoming something of a second mother to her siblings. She'd often help them with homework, chores, and even pokemon training for the few with their licenses. She did all this while working towards her own dream of becoming an actress one day. Not one of the sisters could ever say anything bad about her of their own will. She was the epitome of perfect in their eyes, and she always tended to spoil Lyla the most. One of Lyla's fondest memories is her sister using her own allowance to buy ice-cream for the two of them to share. Lyla was born with a weaker constitution than the rest. She tended to get sick easily and could hardly play outside with friends. As a child, such crippling social exile often proves detrimental to development. Lyla grew to hate physical exercise. She'd resent the feeling of sunlight on her skin and she'd often end up just staying indoors reading books. Her mother had taught her to read at a young age hoping it would spark something in her daughter. Often when one reads of grand adventures they catch the same wanderlust that the story characters had. Lyla would never get better if she never tried. Being young and frail, the girl never did chores and she was considered too sickly to attend regular school. She was home-schooled by her mother. She was amicable in regards to classwork and didn't seem strongly inclined one way or the other when it came to grades. She passed the classes like clockwork, they were just things she did to pass time. She never truly became passionate about anything that she learned. Nothing sparked her interest quite like reading those adventure novels. Lyla's health slowly improved over time. It was clear that whatever issues she had been born with would only be temporary. Her mother began trying to get her accustomed to outdoor activities, much to the girl's chagrin. She abhorred bike riding, swimming, and running. She didn't take to games like other kids and she just wanted to find a shady spot to sit down and read. In Lyla's never-ending quest to find refuge from her mother's attempt to normalize her, she discovered a talent of hers: Lyla could climb trees like a monkey. The last place her mother would look for her lazy daughter would be the top of a tree! With that thought in mind, the girl began hiding in the nook of the old maple tree in her backyard in order to escape. That was where she met her first pokemon Sanzy the Slackoth. Lyla didn’t actually catch Sanzy the traditional way. Instead the two ended up just hanging out in that old maple tree together from time to time. Eventually, over months of bonding, they became inseparable. Without even trying to, Lyla had become a pokemon trainer. Her older sisters, the ones who still hadn’t even caught their first pokemon, were incredibly jealous. Seeing Lyla’s aptitude for training pokemon, her mother started pushing her to attend regular school to get her trainer's license… But Lyla did her best to oppose it. Unfortunately, her mother and older sisters all ganged up one day and forced her to attend public school for the first time. It was horrible. She didn't know any of the other kids and none of them seemed even remotely interested in getting to know her. She tried her best but only managed to make about three friends throughout all her time there, and those friends weren't even all that "close". They were more like acquaintances who didn't mind her presence. She eventually earned her trainer's license, but it took far longer than normal. Lyla ended up becoming a recluse afterwards due to her anxiety and ended up just living at home. She'd spend her days reading and writing while hiding out in different parts of the house to avoid her family. Sanzy would always come with her and hang out. For some reason he was the only one able to find her no matter where she hid. One day, Lyla’s youngest older sister Breta brought home her first pokemon: a charmander. Unfortunately, something startled the small creature and it ended up spewing fire all over the house, causing a massive blaze. Alarms began to ring and smoke filled Lyla’s room in the back of the house. Terrified, the girl hugged Sanzy close and did the only thing she knew: she hid under her bed. Coughing from the smoke, they both nearly died in the blaze and would have if it wasn’t for her mother Jannett’s staryu finally putting out the mess in the nick of time. Trembling, Lyla was scooped out of the back room and carried to safety. She never once let go of Sanzy. Both were crying. Years passed and Lyla continued to live as a recluse. She'd spend her days drawing and reading. She started writing stories of her own then, but most were absolutely terrible. Still, Sanzy always loved to listen to her stories and look at her art. Lyla herself began to mimic Sanzy's reactions and enjoyed trying to see things from her point of view. Lyla's sisters began moving out one by one to go on pokemon journeys or find jobs. Eventually, she was the last one… Even Sage had gone off to try and become an actress. She was alone with her mother, now, and the house had never felt more empty. The girl just wanted to cry. Her body was healthy now, but she had spent so much time pent up that she didn't know how to truly live. Jannett was at a loss on how to get her daughter to leave the house. She understood Lyla’s timidness, but she also understood that she’d never overcome it hiding in her room. So, with the determination of a mama bear, Jannett made the hardest decision of her life. She kicked the 16 year old Lyla out of the house and told her to not come back until she’d earned at least 4 gym badges and put her trainer's license to good use. It was a terrible bother but the girl didn't hate her mother for it. She was old enough now to understand. Things couldn't stay like this. She couldn't rely on her mom or her sisters anymore. Even if she hated it, Lyla needed to go out and learn exactly how life differed from the stories she had been writing. Perhaps she could keep a log of her adventures and write an epic of her own one day. With only Sanzy at her side, a backpack with some basic amenities, and five measly pokeballs, Lyla was shoved headfirst into the world.

Greeetings Ink! Glad you made it here to the Character Application section with your chara all in one piece. First of all, I'm honored to be able to critique this chara of yours. Hope I can be of use to your road to two approvals and then onto the land of Godai! Let's Begin!!! ~~~Character Descriptions Could you please elaborate on the eyes? It helps to describe their shape, and her eyebrows in addition to their color. With her Clothing, since it is smack dab in the middle of Winter, we don't want the cold to bother Lyla, so please add in what she would wear in this season. I don't think a black hoodie will suffice. Lovely, short and too the point Gen. Appearance, but again, just add a few extra details. How does she carry her slender body? Does she slouch? What does this "lost" feel constitute? Does she shift her eyes about? Does she not hold people's gazes when she speaks to them? What does she look like when she does smile? Just a little more wouldn't hurt. (She is a cutie by the way ^^) ~~~Personality I really like what you have there! Short and to the point. But it still leaves me asking for a little more. Because she's a fun person, does she have alot of friends? How does she act to people she doesn't know? Just like she enjoys to hear about the lives and dreams of others, what are Lyla's dreams and aspirations? What about art does she really enjoy doing, and what does she like to depict in her art pieces? That really says alot about a person. The more details you add the more relatable she becomes and she'll be more fun to RP with, I promise. ![]() After reading the History, how does being the youngest child affect her behaviour socially? Is she often unreliable in her promises? Is this the reason for her laziness? ~~~History I loved it! However, it still left me with unanswered questions. How old were her sisters? Did she have to share rooms with them? How sickly was she as a child? Where was her father in her life. Did she have a Daddy? How could she climb a tree if she was sickly and lazy? She must be really good at climbing trees. When Lyla was in school, did she have many friends? How did she react to being placed in a non-homeschool environment? Things would have drastically been different. Additionally, after the fire, how did Lyla live her life as a recluse? What did Lyla do in this time at home? Is this when she perfected her art skills? How did she treat Sanzy during this time? So many questions. How did Lyla respond to being kicked out of the house? I'm sure the other mods would like you to elaborate even a little more, so just be prepared. ^^ ~~~Inventory You only need the 5 Pokeballs. The inventory is only supposed to reflect the items that can be bought with Dians, the site currency. So, your character can still have a packed lunch and all that stuff, even more In character, but Out of Character they only have 5 Pokeballs to use to capture pokemon. ~~~Poke Profile Ooh! You almost got this one. ^^ The only problems I see with little Sanzy, is his stat percentages. You only need the percentages in parentheses beside the Attack and Defense. So delete-delete the others~ And Sanzy learns Yawn at lvl 1, so change the 2 to a 1. Alrighty, Ink! Thanks for bearing with me. I really love the thought you placed into Lyla, and so I'm sure you won't have any trouble adding the extra description I had. And once you makes these changes to your already splendid character, I'm sure you'll see approvals coming your way! ^^ |

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Fantastic edits and whoopie. I love her even more now! Personality-wise, there's nothing in the personality that isn't answered in the History, so I am satisfied with it. As with her History, yes!! Those extra details really made her life more believable and I can see so much space for character development. Kudos for you! The only question I had left to answer for the History, is why was Sage Lyla's favorite specifically? Did the two share a special bond? Only an extra sentence is needed here, so I'm going to go ahead and give you my approval!
