Name: Sophie
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Personality: Sophie used to be happy go lucky, keeping her few worries to herself, enjoying life and living it to its fullest. But now she is more reserved, quieter and seemingly more serious. Since her Pokémon were taken away from her, her primary focus has been to get them back. One thing that strikes most people is her confidence; no matter what the situation, it is clear she knows she will come away from it mostly unscathed and having learnt from the experience. She was very kind and caring, but what little affection she seems to have goes straight to her Pokémon. Although her overflowing optimism seems to be fading, Sophie’s determination still shines through. She's very quick to judge people, quickly categorizing them into ones she likes and trusts, and those who are suspicious and need to earn it. That doesn't mean she's the best judge of character, though, since if you were to tell her you're an ex-trainer and that you want to be reunited with your Pokémon, she'll empathise and trust you straight away.
Appearance: Sophie is the spitting image of her sister, just cuter. She’s not quite as tall, standing at 5’7’’, but just as skinny. Her sunshine blonde hair sits just past her shoulders and hangs in loose curls, with bangs to frame her face and her eyes are blue. She wears a navy blue knitted jumper dress that is v-necked, with a hood, which reaches half way down her thighs. It has a Pokéball logo on the bottom left, near the hem, in golden yellow. Black leggings cover her legs, and a pair of very comfy looking boots are on her feet. She has a simple black bag, whose strap sits across her body; it rests on her hip.
Region: Unova
Occupation: Gym trainer, Pokémon Musical Co-ordinator
Current Pokémon:
Emolga, male, named Lei. Her first Pokémon, given to her by her sister, still in Pokéball. Audino, female, named Alice. Alice is not officially her Pokémon, but tends to follow her around. When trying to hide, she jumps into tall grass and shakes it about, just like a wild Audino. Sophie met Alice when Lei was injured badly by some nasty Team Plasma grunts. If it hadn’t been for Alice, with the absence of Pokémon Centers, Lei probably would have died. She’s been hanging around ever since and although she doesn’t really battle, Alice is a very useful member of the team to keep them all in good health. Both are also very good at hearing, so they always give her the heads up when trouble is heading their way.
Bag: Phone, Badge Case (containing the first 4 badges of Unova), various berries, purse, map... Lei’s Pokéball. The TM for Volt Switch and a thunder stone.
History: Sophie lived with Elesa in Nimbasa City’s Gym. For most of her life, she was a Gym Trainer, proving to be a worthy opponent to those seeking to battle her sister. She also helped Elesa run the Pokémon Musicals and has modelled with her from time to time, so her face is quite well known. It was only in the last year that she decided she wanted to travel, and in between getting badges (she was taking her time) she built quite the team from visiting other regions. She still favours electric types though, and really dislikes ground types.
Unlike most, Sophie has a basic understanding of what took place in N’s castle, but only from what Elesa told her. Something to do with orbs, heroes and legendary Pokémon. She knows some of the people in the wanted posters are the heroes, but she doesn’t know who specifically. She knows that none of the Gym Leaders saw the battle, or the trainers escaping either.
The two of them lay low in the Gym until they eventually came to arrest Elesa. Although she hasn’t heard from her since, Sophie firmly believes she’s still alive, and is trying to find her sister’s lost Pokémon as well as her own.
Relationships: Gym Leader Elesa’s younger sister.
Other: Here’s the lovely Pogees Sophie lost D: (With the exception of Emolga, obvs XD)
I approve self. Although might add more later (brain is still mush). There we go!
