Character Name: Adriana Marie Clawhill
Pronoun Choice: She/Her
Age: 21
Home Region: Johto
Character Overview: Adriana is your standard bright-eyed, bushytailed sweetheart full of hopes and dreams. She's confident, capable, optimistic, and firmly believes that helping others is the key to a strong, healthy, and happy community. Impulsivity is second nature to her and she's often juggling multiple tasks, projects, and ideas at once, leaving plenty of room for her to forget everything from the date to the keys to her apartment. She's honest and doesn't shy away from admitting her shortcomings and really, earnestly, tries to learn from her mistakes.
The only thing that seems to stop her in her tracks is blood or other bodily fluids. Though she's gotten better at handling her reactions over the years, she still faints over skinned knees and loses her lunch if she as so much as smells vomit in the room.
Five Likes:
- Grass, fairy, poison, normal, bug, and psychic type Pokemon.
- Being in nature.
- Babies and small children; This extends to baby Pokemon.
- Hiking, camping, and Pokewatching.
- Homemade soaps, fragrances, and foods.
Five Dislikes:
- Red meats and cheese.
- Bitter tea and black coffee.
- Extreme weather conditions. (Too hot, too cold, being out in a storm, etc)
- Ghost and dragon type Pokemon.
- Gore and extreme violence in general.
Hobbies:
- Cooking and baking.
- Learning how to craft simple jewelry and other trinkets
- Studying Pokemon Rearing and Breeding.
- Gardening.
- Collecting small charms and beads.
Three Strengths:
- Hard-working - Adriana loves getting out into the world and accomplishing as much as possible. She thrives in an environment where she can complete tasks, be busy, and as useful to those around her as possible. If there's a community focused project, such as building shelters or digging for a garden, consider her sleeves rolled up and her hands ready to go.
- Optimistic - There's a silver lining to every cloud and a song to sing in the darkest of times. Even when the odds look shoddy or her day's been nothing but rotten, difficult, horse-hockey, it's hard to find Adriana without a reason to try and smile and continue marching forward. She's not blind to harsh realities and bitter truths, but refuses to let them drown her in despair.
- Nurturing - Years of looking after the eggs and young Pokemon in her parent's breeding center have given Adriana some mothering tendencies. She likes to look after others, often taking it upon herself to ask if they've eaten, taken their medications, and offering to watch their Pokemon if they're not feeling well. She can hardly call herself a natural or able to take care of every need, but she'll do her best to offer comfort, food, and safety whenever she can.
- Squeamish - Absolutely cannot stand the sight of blood or the smell of bodily fluids, espescially vomit, urine, or someone else's strong body-odor. She'll try her best to cover her nose and leave the situation, but most of the time her body just "nopes" out for her and the next thing she knows she's on the floor.
- Impulsive - Has a horrible habit of volunteering for everything and anything, only before she knows exactly what she's getting herself into. This leaves her in plenty of awkward situations where she either has to fake-it until-she-makes-it or bite the bullet and admit that she didn't think before she signed that form or took that leap.
- Forgetful - No matter how hard she tries to remind herself, Adriana always misplaces or loses something at least once every day. It doesn't even have to be an object, it could be a name, her apartment number, or even the place she was just heading. Mental things eventually find their way back to her and make her grumble at herself, but her favorite scrunchie and Bulbasaur lunchbox back in sixth grade? There's no remembering those back into existence.
History: Adriana's story begins with her fathers. Damien was a boy from Castelia City, Unova, while Alabaster was born and raised in the forest near Ecruteak City, Johto. They met at a fox Pokemon appreciation convention held in Castelia City when Damien's then Zorua, Diego, stole a corn dog from Alabaster and a short chase ensued. They exchanged numbers after Damien apologized, profusely, and kept in contact. Love eventually blossomed and Damien packed everything he had to move to Ecruteak to be with Alabaster two years later.
After getting married and buying their first cottage home, the pair talked children and adopted their first daughter, Adriana. Adriana's early years were spent surrounded by plenty of forest to roam and she seemed to have an equal amount of energy inside of her tiny body to climb all over it. She grew to love nature and grass type Pokemon, as well as develop a fascination with a certain mythical time-travelling Pokemon.
Her fathers adopted their next set of children, Felix and Diana, and moved the family to a larger property in Ecruteak's forest in order to start their dream of opening a Pokemon breeding center devoted to fox Pokemon when she was five. Though she initially missed their old home, watching the first litters of eggs hatch was an experience she'd no soon forget. She eagerly watched her parents as they worked and sent each litter off to their new homes, and celebrated along with them when their first, and so far only, shiny Eevee hatched.
Adriana received her beloved Chikorita, Hazel, from a fellow Pokemon breeding family as a twelfth birthday present. They were instantly inseparable and spent a brief time journeying Johto together before Adriana realized that professional battling just wasn't for her. They returned home where Hazel became a spoiled, everstoned princess and Adriana focused her energy on school and helping in the breeding center. Her fathers adopted another set of twins, Veronica and Zeraphina, shortly thereafter and considered their family more-or-less complete.
Now 21 years old, Adriana has been antsy to get out there and experience the world. Her application to Nauwill is one of her latest impulse decisions and, honestly, she hadn't expected to get accepted. Her family was overwhelmingly supportive of her after she broke the news and, even though she can't bring Hazel with her, she's confident that she can handle whatever challenges may face her on the road ahead. Remembering to keep track of the keys to her new apartment, though, that's another story.
