Trainer Profile Character Name: Mariah Cove Gender: Female Age: 16 Trainer Class: Swimmer Height: 5’0” Weight: 110 lbs Hair Color & Style: Very light blonde, cropped short just at her chin; wispy, more ore less lightened by the sun. During cooler seasons - if Mariah can't avoid them - her hair will darken. Fairly layered, as she likes to keep it light against her neck with shorter bangs framing her face. Eyes: Mariah's eyes are big in a sense that you would probably notice them first upon meeting her: they are usually bright with happiness and hold a lighter tint to them, making them prominent and even more so in the sunlight. Mariah doesn't wear much make-up, as she is more of a "natural" person, but they are light enough to get enough notice without the added touches of mascara. Clothing/Accessories: During warm weather, it is not rare to find Mariah in a pair of shorts, flip-flops (or hiking boots, depending on where she’s at) and a tank top, usually in brighter colors. In colder weather, Mariah bundles up to the excessive: coat, gloves, hat – everything. Her coat is usually as fuzzy on the inside as possible, her gloves are hand-knitted, and her boots insulated. Being little, Mariah does not handle the cold weather well, let alone with the fact that she's grown up in warmer weather. A scarf would, of course, be added to the winter gear, something wool and warm. General Appearance: Mariah is small for her age, but never concerns herself with it. Her family always teased that “dynamite comes in small packages”. She likes to keep her light-blonde hair short and she usually has a bit of a natural tan from all of her time outside. It’s not uncommon to see small bruises along her legs and arms, as Mariah has a tendency to run into things or becomes too excited over something to think about where she is going. She isn't a sloucher, as her and her mother practiced yoga on a daily basis and her gait - with her shorter than normal legs - is quick and short. It would take Mariah two strides to keep up with the average person's one. It isn't often that you would see her brows knitted and frown upon her face, as Mariah usually wears a peaceful and content expression. Her nails are also normally dirty, as she doesn't bother with such little things. Also, Mariah loves to keep some stone upon her, as she is a firm believer in spiritual properties of gems and crystals; usually a necklace or some hand-made bracelet would hold something such as Citrine, depending on what she feels like she needs that day and/or time. Hometown: Brillaya Coast, South Godai Personality: Mariah is the sun in a human package. She always looks at the positive in any situation and is full of sweet energy. If it rains for several days, things must need watered; if you lose a pokemon battle, that just points out what you need to work on; if two people have an argument, that is just an example of the two persons' different personalities coming forth. She is also rather eccentric, but that’s what makes her so fun. Mariah is a very open-minded person, she believes there is "Something More" out there, but doesn't believe in a specific diety; she believes stones have different properties that can help a person in their daily life; she believes everything happens for a reason. She isn’t loud and off the walls, but she likes to try to bring a little bit of happiness to the people she meets. It takes a lot to get Mariah down and it is rare to see her unhappy; when she is, she usually spends her time away from people and her pokemon - just a bit of time to herself to figure things out. It doesn't take her long to bounce back, though. Again, to her, everything happens for a reason even if you can't see it right here in this moment. Mariah loves the ocean, any type of water pokemon, and has a fierce passion for surfing. Having grown up near the beach, Mariah feels that water is "her element". She loves how it can fit into the smallest creases, how in one moment it can be calm and soothing and the next can be fierce and dangerous. As for water pokemon, Mariah loves all of the colors. For example, her Marill is such a pretty blue to her and she would rather feel the sleek rubbery-ness of a water pokemon over an abundance of fur. But, most of all, Mariah loves the fact that she can swim with her pokemon and have a good time on the beach, right in it's own natural element. Mariah's adventurous and loves the outdoors, but oddly enough has a deep fear of moths, bug pokemon, and storms. To her, the earth has energy and she wants to be surrounded by that energy. She wants to feel the wind on her skin, the heat on her shoulders, the sun on her face and the rain in her hair. Mariah can't really stand to be cooped up indoors for too long, as it makes her cranky, causing her to feel like she is barred from the world she needs to be out in. While Mariah is incredibly friendly, creative, and sunny it is not wise to get this girl mad. She may be tiny, but she isn’t afraid to tell you how it is…. And then feel incredibly guilty after. It isn’t often that she bites, but when she does, you can expect her to come back not even an hour later apologizing, even if she was in the right. Usually those who carry any form of prejudice and take it out on others is something that will get Mariah going. Any form of abuse to pokemon is another thing she isn't afraid to open her mouth about. In general, if a person is decent, she will be decent in return. But, those who carry harsh words, snide tones, and hateful attitudes is what gets under Mariah's skin. To her, the more positive energy you put out in the world, the more the world is going to give back to everyone. She wants to live life to the fullest; not have someone take their negative energies out on her or her friends. She’ll go over and beyond for those she cares about and loves to have fun with her water pokemon. Mariah isn’t much into serious battling, but likes to battle for fun. She mostly just likes the adventure of travelling and meeting new pokemon and people. The one thing Mariah absolutely loathes is any cold weather; she will always plan her travels around the season to absolutely and positively avoid even the mere sight of snow. History: Mariah grew up with her mom, never really knowing much about her dad. It only made her and her mom have a much closer relationship. Growing up, the kids at school would ask questions about her dad, which did make Mariah wonder as well. Upon questioning her mom, she got a simple statement that her mom did not know where her dad was, and that she was sorry. Mariah, even as a kid, never worried about it too much. She was happy enough with her mom. School events that required a dad did make her feel a bit uncomfortable and awkward, but seeing as there wasn't much she could do about it, Mariah took it in stride and focused on her beach hobbies and her mom's business to keep her distracted. As Mariah became older, she did go through a phase where she became a bit bitter about her dad not being around - about never knowing who he was or why he never stayed. Her mom finally sat her down and explained that she had never told Mariah's dad that she was pregnant; at a young age, the woman didn't want any commitments and instead moved to South Godai where it was warm and Mariah could grow up happy. For a short while, Mariah resented her mother, but eventually came to the conclusion that her anger was not going to bring her dad to her - or vice versa. Her anger was only going to create more negative energy. It was something Mariah and her mother ceased to speak about, going on with their lives. Her mom is a very big “free-spirit”, so Mariah grew up, naturally, on the beach in Brillaya Coast with her mom working as a Pokemon Breeder. Yoga was always a big thing between the two, along with anything creative. Her mom, being a very spiritual person, taught Mariah a lot about how stones and crystals can help to heal or aid a person - or even a pokemon - in need. Their small house was surrounded by flowers and berry trees, seashells were always strung to create pretty wind chimes, etc. Mariah’s mom’s gentle personality obviously rubbed off on Mariah, who as she grew up, learned to be very open minded and to always find the positive in a situation. Her mom always taught her that it didn't matter what color a person - or pokemon - was, it didn't matter where they were from - they all had the same color blood and a beating heart. Everyone deserved a chance to be accepted instead of judged right off the bat because they may look different or dress different. Mariah, growing up, came to realize that you never knew a person's story or their background and therefore, you shouldn't judge based on day or one meeting. She was sent to the local school and outside of school either spent time helping her mom with the pokemon or on the beach. She was an average student, but with a short attention span; her mind was always on the beach or out to the ocean, itching to go swim or surf if there were enough waves. When she was about twelve, her mom started to hang out with another woman - Geina - whom Mariah soon came to like – she was gentle, friendly, and playful. Only a year later did Mariah’s mom actually start dating the woman, which pleased Mariah to see her mom happier than ever. If her mom was happy, Mariah was happy. This was another thing that expanded Mariah's beliefs in "openness": every relationship was different. If someone made you happy, you should be with them. If someone didn't like that relationship, well... That was their problem. When word got around that Mariah's mom was dating, she was of course picked on at school. This only angered Mariah - that people could put down someone else's happiness so easily. During school, she typically kept to herself, always ready for the day to be over with so she could go home. So much unwanted attention caused Mariah stress, so she only spoke up and bit when things got out of hand. Only a couple of friends really stuck by her side, which made Mariah realize how much she valued loyalty in a person. Mariah got along well with Geina - the woman was nice and often sat and helped Mariah with her studies. She was also a free-spirited person, but a bit more clean. Sometimes, Mariah would get annoyed that the woman would move their things around and that she or her mother couldn't find them. She declared a rule that things in her own room weren't allowed be touched. Overall, she was glad to have another person in her life. Geina was gentle and could be business-like when needed; Mariah knew that both her and her mom needed that because keeping up with the books and files and money was not easy for just one person and a kid. Geina became like a second mom to Mariah, but she was never as close to her as she was with her real mom. Being torn between two people, Mariah's mom was always sure to set up a day for just her and Mariah which helped keep the balance settled. Seeing that her mom was doing well with her business – and life – Mariah felt like it was finally okay for her to go off on her own for a bit to begin her own adventure. Her mom was content with her own life and busy enough that she didn't need Mariah to help out so much with the pokemon and plants. Mariah had made a decision to work with Water pokemon and challenge Gyms whenever she got the chance, even though she’s not huge into battling. To her, competition held too much high energy, which overwhelmed Mariah when her mom was teaching her the basics of pokemon battles. She wished for a life that would challenge her and push her to bigger things, but didn't want to get caught up in the disappointment a lost gym match could cause. Mariah, being as free-spirited and easy-going as her mom, wanted to keep her attitude up. To her, living life to the fullest and making memories is what is important - not all of the gym battles.

You're close! Check Marill's entry in the Pokedex and you'll notice that only certain Stats have percentages. Those are the ones which need the brackets next to it, rather than all of it. Take a look at my character's profile and see if it helps you out at all ^^ | ||||

We're still so nearly there! Marill's Pokedex entry states that it needs to have anything between 25-31% on both Defense and Sp. Defense. This means you'll have to change his defense and edit the stats accordingly. Sorry to be a pain, but we're nearly there now ^^ |

Alrighty Dragon! My turn! You’re almost there and there’s just a few things I’d like you to expand on - First, please put “lb” after Mariah’s specified ”Weight” For her ”Eyes”, how big is ‘big’? What kind of blue? Light or dark? Keep in mind that the lighter it is, the less pigmentation there is and more ‘sensitive it is compared to someone with dark brown eyes. How high up is it on her face? Does she have complimentary eyebrows? What are other things we can know about her eyes? Does she have a soft gaze? A hardened gaze? Are they slanted? So on and so forth. In her ”Hometown”, please look at ”Common Application Mistakes” to see how to properly fill in it. Once you see it, you’ll go “oooh!” haha. Let’s zoom into her ”Personality”; let me just say I love it and it is simply divine! However, to make her a more wholesome person, constantly question the “why” and the “how”. Why does she feel herself to be eccentric? Just how much energy can be put out before she loses that spark and falls into a less than ‘eccentric’ state? How and why does tend to look at the optimistic side of things? What are some examples of this as even optimism has many various definitions. Why does she love the ocean and water Pokemon? For example, I love how water of any kind feels across my skin and how I absorb it and the beautiful mechanics it does to nourish the human body. I love the ocean because I find it calming and nostalgic as I grew up watching the waves that seem gentle on the outside, but deep down it’s a dangerous and mysterious place. What about Mariah? Why is she not afraid to “tell [us] how it is”? In what ways? What ticks her off that she goes out of her way to do something like that? Also, try avoiding “you” and keep it third person. What else can we know about her? What are her morals? Beliefs? Something she’ll always stand by no matter what? Something that motivates her? Something that she keeps to her heart? Something she can’t stand to see or else something might happen? Things like those! Don’t be afraid to flush out the details. The same applies to her ”History”. How did she feel about everything both good and bad throughout all her stages from childhood onto her teenage years? Also avoid the “you” and keep it more professional for third person. What other obstacles, events, and experiences did she - not her mother - Mariah go through that allowed her for more cognitive and personality developmental growth as stated in her ”Personality”? She grew up not knowing her dad - but when the years came about and when she’s seen others with a father did she question it? If not why? How did she feel when as a child who only wants to fit into the world at that time did not have the “structure” that societal norm constantly brags about? What decisions and experiences did she go through to allow her to delve into having an open mind? Personalities and time spent in school conflicts constantly with the upbringing of children - so what caused her to stick with her mother’s way of life to understand it and apply it to her own conscious state? What did she see? What did she feel? Was she happy with this way of thought? Did she ever come across to question these ideas? If so, how did she get out of that or how did it stronger mold her into who we know today? How was her relationship with the woman her mother started to date? You say she was happy because her mom was happy but how did she as an individual feel? Protective? Cautious? Wary? Excited? Lonely? So on and so forth. Again, don’t be afraid to really get in there and dish out those details and descriptions! I know it looks like I’m asking a lot but honestly I’m just looking for a paragraph or two more to describe more about this Mariah to make her realistic and wholesome as possible. For your ”Pokedex”, there’s a bit to fix but they’re very easy so I’ll just list them:
