Trainer Profile
Character Name: Annalise Reyes Gender: Female Age: 16 Trainer Class: Pokemon Trainer
Height: 5'4" Weight: 105lbs
Hair Color & Style: Annalise keeps her hair straightened by using various hair products as well as a flat iron. Her hair reaches to about the middle of her back and is a vibrant copper brown. She has bangs that fall over and cover most of her forehead but don't fall into her eyes. For the most part her predominant hairstyle is simply having her hair down and straightened. However, from time to time, she may place it up into a ponytail.
Eyes: Annalise's eyes are a pale brown color (which is different than the color shown in her anime picture). She is pretty big on wearing make up and so her eyelashes are usually lengthened and darkened by the use of mascara. She will also sometimes wear a light and not too noticeable amount of light brown eyeshadow to accentuate her eyes, making them stand out more.
Clothing/Accessories: Annalise is somewhat modest in her clothing style. She doesn't prefer clothing that shows off a lot of her legs, buttocks, or cleavage and so she'll never be caught in low rise shirts or short shorts. Although, she doesn't mind tight clothing and has an eye for more muted down and earthy sort of colors. She enjoys blacks, grays, and browns the most, along with the dark blue of jeans. However, she isn't afraid to wear other colors if she's fond of a particular outfit. Annalise actually isn't too much of an accessory gal. She isn't seen with much jewelry on unless it's a special occasion or event where formal attire is mandatory. She doesn't carry around a purse with her either. All of her personal belongings are within her wallet and traveling back pack. On her journey she packed a few outfits and here are some of them: Outfit #1, Outfit #2, Outfit #3, Outfit #4.
General Appearance: Annalise is a typical girl in the aspect that she is into hair and face products as well as make up. She is fairly attractive and looks to be a couple years older than her actual age with more mature features defining her. She is slightly below average for her weight and definitely has the skinny girl features. She could add ten or so pounds to her and be a more healthier weight but because of social media and expectations on women's beauty ten more pounds seems too heavy for her. All of her other womanly assets are moderate from her breast size, waist curve, and bottom. She has soft hands and manicured, well kept, natural, fingernails. Annalise's expressions are soft and add to the maturity about her. She is sweet and mild tempered.

Hometown: Cascadia City, Northern Godai
Personality: Annalise is somewhere in between an extrovert and introvert. But, on a whole, she does enjoy socializing. She enjoys people as well as getting to know them. Her passion and interest in getting to know others as well as develop friendships stems from a more deeper yearning to have an emotional partnership with someone. Despite her being so open, friendly, and sociable, Annalise actually has trouble developing solid bonds with other people. Her closest friend in all of her sixteen years of life is her best friend Roxanne. However, they've never actually developed a close bond and Roxanne considers others her best friends as well which further emphasizes the fact that Annalise is only one best friend in a line of many.
To Annalise her self-image is something of great importance. Much in the same regard as her make up and physical appearance, she is also very critical on how she presents herself around other people. Her general persona is generally kind and friendly but also mature and level headed. She is wise and smart and enjoys intellectual conversations. However, she can easily become uncertain of herself and sensitive to the ways others look at her. She can become paranoid and feel peer pressure weighing down on her shoulders. She can often feel judged or belittled and this leads her to second guess herself or even lie on occasion to try and paint herself in a better light.
Going hand in hand with her ideal self-image of perfection, Annalise has developed the tendency to be an organizer. She doesn't do well in messy conditions or even dirty conditions. Her own living space is always well organized, neat, and clean. While organizing and cleaning isn't exactly something she would label as a 'fun pastime' it is something that brings her comfort and helps relieve her stress (although unorganized and dirty surroundings is a big cause of stress itself).
Annalise actually has a lot of trouble with relationships and despite her need to look beautiful as well as fashionable, she actually does not pursue relationships with the opposite sex. However, she is heterosexual and is attracted to men. Her insecurities lie in an incident that happened when she was a little girl and the crude remarks and behavior she had became accustomed to while growing up with her mother's lifestyle being a direct influence in her life.
She is a somewhat strong willed female. She will speak up for herself and she is not too timid to not be able to speak her mind on something she feels strongly on. However, she does have her fault and her fault lies in her insecurities and her tendency to easily fall victim to self-doubt. While she is capable of speaking out and believing in something strongly she can also be pressured or controlled into stepping down from that belief or opinion through bullying and mental manipulation.
HISTORY History: Tiffany Reyes and Jacob "Jake" Knowles—Annalise's future parents—hadn't been ready to start a family when Tiffany found out she was pregnant. Her and Jake were a few years out of high school and more interested in the freedom of being young and wild. Their world consisted of heavy drinking, partying with their buddies, and getting high off of narcotics as much as they were able in a day. The surprise consumption had been a huge shock for Tiffany and one that she kept from Jake for the first couple months into her pregnancy. However, when Jake did find out about Tiff's pregnancy he surprised everyone with his positivity and enthusiasm. While they certainly hadn't been planning a child and probably weren't emotionally ready for one either, Jake celebrated their growing child as something fantastic. It was no secret that Jake was madly and deeply in love with Tiffany and so it shouldn't have been that surprising that Jake would want to get serious and start a family with her. The couple soon became whimsical with their near fairy tale like imaginings of what their life would be like as a family. By all accounts, according to Tiff and Jake, they were going to live the perfect life in Durskrim Town.
With the birth of Annalise Reyes reality became a harsh slap to the face and a quick wake up call—especially for young mother Tiffany. Her newborn baby cried all the time and suffered through colic for the first four months. It quickly became very apparent that Tiffany hadn't been ready for a child and the stress quickly turned to depression which began to directly affect her relationship with Jake. She coped by frequently leaving the trailer to go mellow out with her friends and left most of the parenting to Jake. Quite surprisingly, Jake actually coped much better with the stress that came with the change of their lifestyle. His patience really shined during the first few months of Annalise's life. After the colic symptoms disappeared and Annalise developed a more routine schedule that brought her crying down to a minimum—Tiffany came back into her life and showed much more motherly interest and care than before. Tiff became controlling and possessive of Annalise and a lot of the time Jake fell into the backseat role of nanny.
During Annalise's first few years of life she experienced the ups and downs of her household. Tiff and Jake weren't exactly known for having money. Jake was notorious for job hopping and Tiff had been working at a local fast food restaurant for the past two years, and their housing situation reflected their lower income bracket. Annalise grew up in a trailer home park and her parents laid back lifestyle resulted in the home often being unkempt and unclean. The pungent smell of alcohol and illegal substances were almost always present and as a child Annalise became sick with bronchitis quite often. The little girl also suffered from her parents disregard not in the form of being malnourished but from the lack of hygiene practice. Annalise was often dirty, baths and teeth brushing being a rare thing in the Reyes-Knowles household. And when the "terrible twos" came around more of her mother's aggressive nature came to light as Tiffany often dealt with her daughter's temper tantrums with very little patience, rough and possibly harmful yanking, as well as bouts of yelling.
At a young age, Annalise was also exposed to her family's poor treatment of domesticated 'pet' pokemon. Jake and Tiff owned a Herdier but much like Annalise the dog wasn't well kept or cared for. It was an indoor and outdoor dog that was poorly trained and also temperamental and territorial. Tiff's impatience with the dog pokemon often resulted in rough or even physical abuse.
Despite Annalise's homelife, she grew up as a cheerful girl. She was young, excitable, and very talkative. Her enthusiasm and cheerful nature remarkably helped her social life during her first year of school. She was good at making friends—she was talkative, bubbly, and funny in the classroom. However, when it came to learning she did struggle more than the average child but it was never anything too serious. She was also given a different and healthier experience on pokemon raising with her elementary school having a constant influx of pokemon in and out of the school at all times. While school life unconsciously became a more healthy and sought after environment for Annalise, her home life began to show more and more signs of instability. Her mother and father had begun to fight on a now weekly basis. Tiff had become increasingly unhappy and stressed over their struggle with money, and soon Jake's inability to keep down a steady job became the focal point of her anger. Annalise often witnessed two very contrasting sides of her mother—the scary, angry, side and the nice, loving, side. She was not exempt from her mother's bad moods or anger and Annalise learned to be hesitant around her mother, always uncertain and fearful of her mood. Her father, while not the best role model or parent out there, was the safer of the two and Annalise instinctively grew closer and more attached to her father and his kindness toward her.
When Annalise was eight years old one of the biggest impacts within her life struck: social services were notified of potential child neglect. In a nightmarish incident, the young Annalise had found herself being taken away from her parents. She spent two months in a foster home, living with an older married couple and another foster child who was much older than her. While first struggling with the incident, Annalise began to develop an attachment toward her foster family. The environment of her foster home was much different than her home life and Annalise was influenced by the positive, healthy, and clean environment. As she had gotten to know the other foster girl staying within the household, it was Annalise's first time really discussing the well known concept of becoming a 'Pokemon Trainer' in Godai. While for Annalise it was something fascinating, the eight year old was far too young to really devote her attention to the concept as a whole. It, much like her time with her foster family, became a memory stored away in the recesses of her mind because her experience within foster care was short lived and she was soon placed back into the household with her parents. Tiffany had been more infuriated than anything by the fact that they had taken her daughter away. But Jake did not share Tiff's bullheadedness. He had been much more negatively and emotionally impacted by the fact that his daughter had been taken away from him. Although the incident had been short in Annalise's, it had been one of the largest things to impact her and it had changed her life from thereafter. When she returned to her mother and father's house she began to yearn and strive to have the same life she had been teased with while in foster care.
It was about a year later, when Annalise was nine, that she was impacted by yet another large incident. Her father was at work and her mother had thrown another one of her wild parties within the trailer home. Annalise had gotten out of the bathtub and had started to make her way to her bedroom in a towel to get dressed in the privacy of her own room. But, one of the intoxicated male friends of her mother spotted her in the hallway and began to harass her, even going so far to follow her into the room. When he began telling her to get out of her towel in front of him, Annalise began to get really scared. She began to cry and it was only at that point that the intoxicated male left the room. And it was after that incident, when she confided in her father, that Jake reached his breaking point. He took Annalise and left their home with her. He was tired of Tiff's lifestyle and her inability to change from the partying, the narcotic smoking, the wild youths they had once been. Tiff had never been able to break away and grow up, but Jake had long since reached a point where he wanted to live a normal and happy life with his family, with his daughter. Annalise had once again been impacted by this very huge change in her life. Jake had taken her and had traveled across Godai and to Cascadia City to stay with his parents, Annalise's grandpa and grandma. Her grandfather and grandmother had were also quite foreign to her up until this point. Prior to Jake's change and maturity, he hadn't gotten along with his parents and hadn't kept communication with them. But, in his time of need, they reached out to lend him a place to stay for Annalise's sake more than anything else. They were good parents and well off, financially, living in a nice neighborhood and in a nice home. Annalise struggled with her mother and father's divorce as well as her environmental change, the new school, etc. It took a total of 6 months for the divorce to be finalized and for Jake to be awarded full custody of his daughter. Tiff had been granted very little visitation time due to the distance between the two households.
Although the absence of her mother impacted Annalise's life, with time she began to settle down comfortably into her new life in Cascadia City. She had always shown strength in socializing and even now was no different—while intimidated at first, her new school once again became a place she enjoyed as she made connections and friendships with others her own age. After a couple of years, however, her mother had found the means to move to Cascadia City and soon demanded more visitation time with her daughter. While Tiff's determination on its own was admirable, her true intentions were not. Tiffany was more fueled with vengeance and a sense of rightful possession over her daughter than an actual love. As Annalise reached her teen years and became more mature and aware a strain began to develop between herself and her mother. Annalise began to see the ugly of her mom. A resentment and depression built within her as she internally dealt with wanting her mother to be different, to be more than what she was, and be a real mother.
Ultimately those feelings would set her up for a breakdown later down the road. Annalise's life outside of her mother was fairly good: Her father had successfully changed and matured, and he had made that change because of his love for his daughter. The two of them lived in a two bedroom apartment in a decent apartment complex. Her school life was going along smoothly as well and she had developed a close friendship with a girl named Roxanne. She had also adopted a Minccino as her pet. The change to her lifestyle had really impacted Annalise and with the ability to do so now, she had become a very clean and organized person. She also began to show an interest in make up and hair products to make herself look as pristine, mature, and presentable as possible. But, in the back of her mind and in a dark part of her life her mother was always there. And things weren't getting better between them—things were getting worse. Tiffany and her boyfriend had gone from less serious narcotics to much more serious illegal substances. Not too long after Annalise noticed the change in her mother's demeanor. Tiffany became more hysterical around her, more accusing, and verbally violent. Everything ended abruptly one Saturday afternoon after a fight took place between the two of them. Annalise had left her mother's apartment, called her father, and ended up being taken home that day. She hadn't meant to tell her father—the information had slipped out—but the moment he had learned that Tiffany was doing serious drugs and had gotten physical with Annalise he called the police and had Tiff arrested for drug possession.
Having to deal with the guilt and burden of feeling like she had been the cause of her mother's imprisonment, Annalise found it really hard to cope. She felt resentment and bitterness toward her father but also a sense of understanding when it came to his actions. More than anything she had just wished that her mother could have been normal. It was at this point in Annalise's life that she decided she wanted a change. She wanted the freedom of being an adult and living her life in the way she wanted to. She wanted to take on a journey of self-discovery to really determine who she was and want she wanted out of life. And the only option that seemed to be available for someone her age (sixteen) was registering to become a pokemon trainer. She wasn't too well equipped in knowledge and the many different classes only confused her. They, like many things in her life, was something she had to discover through self-discovery. She felt confident in the fact that she would eventually find a class that suited her but for now she signed herself down simply as a 'Pokemon Trainer'. And this is where her story begins in Godai.
