Lapras Valley High (It starts! LSUs Welcome!)

[Roy Karrde]

Name: Tiffany Parker
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Class: Freshman
Pokemon: Chikorita ( Chiko )
Physical Description: She has a very petite appearance, her hair tends to be down to slightly above her mid back, having dyed it dark green like a Chikorita leaf. She has hazel eyes and stands around 5’1”. She some times has scrapes on her arms or legs from falling or bumping into things while reading her book. She wears a white embroidery peasant top along with a belt going around her blue jean shorts, usually having her pokedex tucked away in the back of the belt for easy access on Pokemon moves and attacks.
Personality: When she first arrived at the school she was happy and excited to set out to make a name for herself and gain the same recognition as her sister has. After multiple missteps that excitement slowly drifts away to solemn quietness as she attempts to not ruin her sister’s name. She will usually carry around a pokedex for Pokemon battles and can be seen studying up between classes and at night. Because she is walking and reading the pokedex she tends to be a bit clumsy at times, this can also happen because of the incredible amount of stress she is under, causing her to over compensate for things and ends up failing.
History: Being the younger sister, she has always lived in the shadow of her talented sister, at a young age she watched her sister leave for the school with much fan fare, having scored some top scores on the early tests. Her parents have always fawned over her sister, talking up his achievements, when she was finally old enough to become a trainer she got her started Pokemon and headed to the exams. Even though she knows little about battling, or Pokemon types, or anything really a trainer needs, she was accepted in because of her brother’s fame.
Relationships: Nothing other than Rachel

”Mom I will be fine!” I must have said those words numerous times in the past day, heading up to the school, the moment they dropped me off, and now here I was at the school, talking to her on my pokegear, still remaining awestruck at the hustle and bustle that surrounded me. I had been to the campus before several times in the past few years, but now I was on my own and my mom was worried about her youngest child being out on her own.

“Yeah I’m sure she is just running a bit late… okay call her again.” The phone call ended and I was able to look up again, gazing around the campus as I waited near the parking lot, where I had been waiting for the last hour and a half. “I can’t believe I am here!” A shiver of excitement ran down my back.

It wasn’t just that I was in high school; I was in this school Lapras Valley High. The one high school I had wanted to go to since my sister had been accepted, the one goal I had focused on for over three years had finally ended at this point, my first day on campus.

“So there you are.” A sharp but familiar voice rang out, cutting through the air like a hot knife as a hand grabbed my arm. “I have a lot of things to do, and very little time to babyset.”

I finally got a look at the person who was now dragging me along by the arm, it was my older sister but at the same time it wasn’t, she was cold, focused, with no joy or happiness on her face like at family gatherings, it was almost like some one else in my sister’s body. “No one helped me when I was here, and if mom hadn’t kept calling me, I would have left you to fend for yourself”

I kept my mouth shut, I was just glad to be here, and now my sister was here that meant we could spend the nights studying together like we did as kids and we could trade pokemon, and talk about boys. “Now you brought everything I told you to bring, correct?” She asked as we entered one of the buildings, making our way up to the receptionist. “She’s here for the keycard.” She stated bluntly to the receptionist who turned to me.

“Do you have any sort of ID?” She asked as I dug into my left pocket, I had brought along my old middle school ID card since I was too young for a drivers license. Except it wasn’t there, I checked my right pocket and again only paper and lint. This is when my heart began to kick into over drive as I checked my back pockets while my sister let out a long sigh.

“I told you to have all this stuff ready.” She shook her head as I dug through my bag, finally producing the ID and handing it over. A minute or so later she handed me a envelope and directed me down the hallway. To which I found myself waiting in line along with many other students. Rachel glanced down at her cell phone impatiently, checking the time and her schedule on it. “Dammit..” She swore in anger before turning back to me.

“Like I said I have other things to do, call me when you get done with the keycard.” She turned and began to walk away, getting only a few steps before stopping. “And don’t do anything stupid, and dye your hair to a normal human color, you look like a potted plant.” And with that she was gone, off to tend to some other business as I waited in line.

Okay so maybe she was stressed, she was a senior and one of the highest scoring students in her class, she had a lot on her mind. It didn’t matter anyway, I was here, finally here, at Lapras Valley High, things had to get better from here, they just had to.

Going to edit in a post for Rachel once I can ask Dru what things seniors can do.
