Trainer Profile Character Name: Teresa Logan Springs Nickname: Teri Gender: Female Age: 19 Trainer Class: Backpacker Birthday: Feb 21, year 181 Atrological Signs: Entwickson the Fish, Feebas and Magikarp Alignment: Neutral Good Religion: Agnostic. Believes in a higher power or a greater design. Also, given that she was born to a mother who was a firm believer in Jagravanism, she also believes in Karma up to a certain point. Height: 5' 6” Weight: 136 lbs Hair Color & Style: Teresa sports dark ash blonde hair, tied up with a comb and with two fringes framing her face. She generally tries to keep it short to avoid interfering with her vision and likes to keep it manageable. In the event that she has neither time nor the specific accessory to maintain her haircut, she'll go for a simple bun or ponytail. Eyes: Teri's eyes are oval-shaped and possess a light grayish-blue hue. Her eyelashes are perhaps one of her most appealing traits, remaining long and silky despite a lack of makeup. Overall, she looks nothing like what you would expect from those bright-eyed youths you might see in fiction or comic books, which grant her gaze a somewhat subtler undertone. Her eyebrows are noticeably darker than her hair and are rather unremarkable given how short they are, which is just the way she likes them. Clothing/Accessories: Warm weather clothing and accessories: When at ease, Teresa usually wears a dark gray sleeveless top or blouse accompanied with a black knee-length skirt or something of a similar hue. Also, in order to complete her outfit, she'll usually wear a pair of discrete socks in order to avoid drawing any more attention to her feet. While not necessarily against showing a little leg, she usually prefers to focus the viewer's attention on her face and neck, usually by wearing high collars or some manner of bright or outlandish accessory. Furthermore, being near-sighted, Teri always keep a pair of small rounded glasses handy, which serves to further enhance her figure. Another notable part of her attire is the humongous red backpack she's always lugging around. This particular carriage, nicknamed “Burt”, possess a large capacity for storage and has a tendency to make her look rather diminutive by comparison. She pays no attention at all to her shoes and will wear whatever she feels isn't too inappropriate. Cool weather clothing: During the cooler seasons, Teresa trade her lighter attire for a pair of dark jeans as well as a bright red coat, matching her backpack. Should the weather get particularly bad, she also keeps a pair of fluffy white earmuffs, along with warm gloves and socks to better protect her extremities. Though, in practice, she is unlikely to forgo her traditional attire and accessories unless she absolutely has to. Cold weather clothing: During winter, Teri trades most of her usual garment for a thick red coat, which possess a hood lined with white synthetic fur. Underneath, she's fond of wearing turtlenecks, one of the rare occurrences where she'll tolerate sleeves at all, along with a pair of black trousers. Should the situation call for it, she may also be found wearing a pair of warm mittens along with the earmuffs she uses during the cooler seasons. Unlike how Teresa usually handles her footwear, she is super serious when it comes to snow boots and isn't afraid to splurge if they'll keep her feet warm. Although she still has terrible tastes in that department... General Appearance: While possessing a relatively fair skin tone, Teresa maintains a sober and humble demeanor that makes it almost impossible for her to appear intimidating. Overall, she is just not what you would expect from a passionate individual, and isn't all that expressive. Which would be noteworthy if she wasn't constantly chugging bottles of water or cans of soft drinks in order to satisfy her oral fixation. However, despite her mild countenance, she is quick to smile when the situation calls for it and generally come across as warm and inviting. Another notable trait about her appearance is her rather terrific posture, which allows her to appear confident even when she's not, something that's especially useful when she has to work in restoration. With her back straight as a pole, she has no trouble maintaining her balance and can even work herself up to be stern. Though, she generally chooses to forgo that last talent, in order to keep her head level and avoid hiding her neck and accessories. Hometown: Kotoba City, East Godai. Personality: Teresa is a quiet force of nature and spends a great deal of her time trying to find a balance between her life, her job and her responsibilities toward her pokemons. Harmonious at best and meek at worse, Teri doesn't really have any strong opinion about anything and will usually avoid voicing opinions which she feels might not sit well with the people she interacts with. She also dislikes conflict and will often get out of her way to obtain approval, even at her own detriment. As a result, she thrives in a controlled environment with very specific rules, and is unlikely to act out in a particularly outrageous manner. Truthfully, Teresa doesn't have a very high opinion of herself, despite being somewhat better than she gives herself credit for. Intellectual pursuits definitely aren't her cup of tea, but she does have a bit of a practical side, which helps compensate for some of her more obvious shortcomings. In recent years, she has also displayed a certain penchant for addictive behaviors, being an ex-smoker and having contracted a rather severe oral fixation as a result. Another notable manifestation of that is her unhealthy obsession with being prepared for anything that might happen, which has led her to carry a backpack whose storage far exceeds her actual needs. She is deathly afraid of heights and will lose all her means whenever she looks down from higher-up. Subconsciously, Teresa just has to keep her feet on the ground, though for some reason she doesn't have any problem with deep waters. While she'll never look down from a Ferris wheel, Teri is especially vulnerable to romantic gestures, be they plain or really cliche. This stems from the fact that at her core, she is a firm believer in true love and will often allow herself to be carried away by romanticism. That being said, she has been burned before, and will occasionally struggle to keep herself in check. More recently, Teri seems to have discovered a motherly side to herself due to a prolonged contact with pokemons. As a result, she strives to provide a good environment in which they can reach their full potential. However, should something ever threaten, insult or harm her pokemons, she can be rather vindictive, a trait that is usually uncharacteristic of her. This might explain why she displays a surprising amount concern for pokemon who are exploited or resides in what she deems an unnatural environment. The world at large is very different from Kotoba and modernity presents new challenges of its own. And while Teresa hasn't quite made up her mind to do anything about it, she recognizes that this might not always be for the better. History: Teresa was born to a middle-class family from Kotoba and is the eldest of two girls. Growing up, Teri and her family resided in a neighborhood that epitomized the startling contrast that exists between the old pagodas and the many skyscrapers that populates the landscape. This proved very confusing to her early on, as she couldn't understand why people like her mother clung so hard to the old ways when everything was just so modern and convenient nowadays. This, combined with her father's more progressive thinking, meant that they bonded relatively easily and the two of them would often confide in each other, even when those were just silly little things. However, this also marked the beginning of a rift between her and her mother, that has persisted up until now. With her being an only child at the time and her mother a fervent Jagravanist, the latter had put all of her hopes and dreams in Teresa and had hoped to pass on her rich heritage to her daughter. But, despite that, Teri had done pretty well for herself by the time she entered elementary school. She played well with the other kids and was generally a pleasant child to be around. Though, upon reaching the second grade, Teresa began to struggle with her school work and had a lot of trouble keeping up with the other kids. While she didn't exactly fail any of her classes, Teri's grades were unspectacular and it seemed unlikely that she would get far in life if things continued the way they did. Fearing that her daughter would lose herself upon the “Path”, her mother decided to take charge and went to great length to ensure her daughter would straighten herself out and learn the precepts of Jagravanism. This particular period of her life proved especially devastating for Teri's self-esteem and as a result, she often felt that she just didn't measure up to what was expected of her. Desperate to please her parents, Teresa pushed herself very hard to keep her grades from falling and did everything her mother required of her. Though, sadly, she still couldn't muster any interest in what she was being taught and never really took to Jagravanism. Relief eventually came from an unexpected angle when her younger sister was born and her parents had to divert a lot of their attention toward the newborn. Teresa was very grateful for that and was generally content to help taking care of the little toddler. And while the age-difference would have a definite impact upon their relationship in the future, Teri genuinely cared about her little sister. And so, it was with a clean slate that Teresa entered Secondary School, along with all the hurdles that came with it. However, it was love that would eventually end up shaping her teenage years. Indeed, Teri soon became quite enamored with a particular boy she had met at school. Though sadly, this person didn't evolve in the same circles as Teresa did and the latter was desperate to find a way to spend more time with him. It was then, that she decided to take up smoking in an attempt to get closer to him. At first, Teri didn't care much for cigarettes. But as time went by and she met new people, she unknowingly began to associate it with relaxation and social recreation. A fact that would have a profound effect on her in the future. Nevertheless, Teresa and her crush soon began dating and for a while, she felt like she had it all. Teresa simply adored her boyfriend and soon convinced herself that she had found true love. However, as relationships sometimes do, the whole thing eventually crashed and burned. This news hit Teri pretty hard, and she was forced to admit that maybe she had been a little too quick to make assumptions about their relationship. So, in the end, she had no choice to dust herself, get herself up and go have a cigarette... It was shortly after that, that her parents caught a wild Sentret and decided to incorporate it into their household. Before then, Teri never had much opportunities to interact with pokemons on a regular basis, and while she was familiar with them in general, this was the first time that she became involved with one in a permanent fashion. As a result, Teresa was quite reserved in regard to their new house guest and otherwise maintained a cordial relationship with the scout pokemon. That is, until she decided to take her trainer's license and TIS. At first, Teri had assumed that the scout pokemon had actually been meant for her younger sister, given the former's infatuation with it, but soon came to realize that her parents had intended to gift it to her all along. Unfortunately however, this new partnership didn't prove very fruitful and despite Teresa's best efforts to bond with it, it soon became clear that the pokemon utterly despised his trainer. This made her really upset, and she felt like such a failure when her pokemon categorically refused to heed any of her orders. And so, she began to seriously consider whether or not she should take her TIS at all... One day, however, Teri was smoking outside, when she noticed Sentret playing alone in the yard. Curious as to what the scout pokemon was up to, she decided to investigate and as she began to prod him, Sentret suddenly got mad and knocked her cigarette right out of her lips. At the time, Teresa was completely baffled and a little annoyed with her pokemon's attitude, when she finally deduced what had just occured. So she decided to take her pokemon out with one of her pack of cigarettes to test her theory and ended up helping him dig a hole to bury it in the backyard. After that, Teri did a lot of soul-searching to try to understand the meaning behind that revelation. Her pokemon clearly didn't care much for her habit and while she loathed the idea of giving it up, she had known for quite a while that she might have been addicted to smoking. She remembered a time when she didn't need to have a cigarette whenever she got upset or stressed-out, and soon decided that it would be best for both her and her pokemon if she finally quit. Though, that was easier said than done. Teresa wasn't prepared for the sheer mental trauma she would have to endure, and her constant craving for “just one more” set her back many times until she finally admitted that she needed help. In the following year, she tried all the tricks in the book, but what finally helped her kick the addiction was finding a way to simulate smoking and satisfy her oral fixation without actually having a cigarette. Since then, Teri has managed to remain smoke-free, something that became instrumental to her success on her ITS. After finishing school and achieving some measure of harmony in her life, Teresa eventually got hired by a temp agency as a waitress (among other things) and decided to go on a trip across Godai with her pokemon. Her parents were initially quite concerned about her decision to go on that trip on her own, but had to recognize that their child had done a lot of growing up recently. And so, they agreed to send her out there with their best wishes and gifted her with a humongous backpack, which they hoped would serve her well on her journey. Ironically, since she has departed, Teri has been forced to leave behind some of her preconceived notions about the world and has had to come to term with the fact that her mother may not have been entirely wrong. There is a certain beauty and harmony to be found in nature and that perhaps there's a darker side to modernity that she may have overlooked...

Hello, and thank you very much for your kind words. I had left out a few things out which I planned to keep in store for later, so it wasn't too hard to come up with an explanation for several of Teri's traits. Anyway, I have edited the original post, so hopefully, that will do the trick! |

Alrighty Prime! Goodness this is a near perfect profile especially the Personality! However, I’ll ask for you to elaborate just a wee bit more on Teresa’s Personality and History - For her ”Personality” although to the point and very well executed, perhaps take the time to write one or two more paragraphs that defines her a bit deeper. Things like her strengths and weaknesses that may or may not affect her personality or psychological way of thinking. That and as well as what are her morals or personal beliefs other than the small bit on Pokemon? Is there something else that she won’t budge from or has a strong mindset on? What about her views on herself with those traits? Or how are her views on mankind or just the world in general? Then for her ”History”, I hope I mean no offense as I say this but as great as it is, it almost sounds like a grocery list of what has happened to her and doesn’t quite delve into explaining how she has acquired the traits that she wonderfully has! Remember that her ”History” is here to compliment her ”Personality”! What I’m asking for is a deeper elaboration on what she felt and how it changed her through any other obstacles, events, and experiences in her life. For example, how did she feel when her mother “redoubled her efforts” and how + why did it make Teri become more submissive? Did any of those times change her view on her perspective of life/world especially during that of childhood and teenage development? Basically there is just a small lack of explanation of what she went through in order to obtain solidified traits through possible justification of set situations. Another example can include what friends did she make and how did she do in school? Were there any impacts in her life that she may or may not be conscious of? During those several unsuccessful attempts, what mental state of mind changed and what didn’t? Fighting nicotine addiction is a tremendously difficult task, however assists the person in developing a stronger set of mind through pain, trial, and error. How about Teresa? Basically, less about a list of things that happened but much more elaboration on how each event impacted Teresa (through feelings and thought processes) that helped make her who she is today! I’m sure you get the gist by now! Though I understand you wanting it to be vague, we still must hold you to at least the minimum standards, so I'm just looking for just a wee bit more for a final approval on my end! (No worries, we have a lot of users who choose to do the same thing - me included - but we word them differently and use secret cryptic clues! /wink wink buwhahaha) Lastly, because Sentret has no "Nickname", take that category out. Everything else is perfect! You know the drill; good luck! ♥ |

All done! It took a bit longer than I had expected, but I believe that Teri's History and Personality should feel a little more organic now. |
