APPEARANCE
Being of lithe stature, she can get around quickly—whenever it’s delivering orders to the clients who frequent the café that her mother runs, or whenever she needs to get errands done. She can usually be seen wearing comfortable and practical clothing, usually consisting of jeans and shirts, but will sometimes wear skirts when “necessity dictates it”, usually when she’s headed out to Lilycove to visit her father. There are times that she would be seen in beach wear, which consists of a modest tank top and shorts, whenever she’d take a turn in the town’s Hot Springs located near the local Pokemon center.

PERSONALITY
Normally, Izumi here is an outspoken individual, never afraid to voice out whatever is on her mind. If there’s something wrong and she notices it, she’ll point it out at once, and will not hesitate to correct anyone if they’ve gone off the wrong path—or if they’ve done something wrong. She can be blunt to the point that she may come off as insensitive, but that’s just how she really is. There is usually a smile (or a grin) on her face… but that changes whenever certain events are brought up, which are best left unsaid.
That’s when the “normal” Izumi changes and her personality shifts—she becomes a shrewd, haughty person who will not stop at nothing to get what she wants. She also has her moments of depression, which would then be followed by anger and in very rare cases, rage. It would be best to always have Izumi on her “good” side, because that’s when she’s most sociable. She can also adapt to people and Pokemon around her, and can “go with the flow” as dictated.
Ambitions: For now, she wishes to live a normal life, but there is an adventurous streak burning within her—she wants to get out and explore the entirety of the Hoenn region, but is confined to her family’s café since she’s the only staff member at the moment.[/ul]

HISTORY
While growing up, she was no stranger to Pokemon—as her mother owns a pet Skitty, and its cute charms and affectionate ways always rubbed off on her. She’d begin helping out with her mother’s café from an early age, so it’s a usual sight to see her running around the area, delivering and taking orders, with that same Skitty playing along and entertaining the waiting clientele. It was in this café she’d be witness to all sorts of people—fellow Trainers, travelers, vacationers, sometimes even the occasional camera crew who’d drop by and feature the café on Hoenn TV.
It was also in this café that she’d had her first taste of love and heartbreak, and is also the source of the “darker” Izumi—she’d crossed paths with someone who’d change her life for the better—and the worse. His name was Bunji, and boy, do these two have a history. Originally, the plan was to leave Lavaridge together and explore the whole of Hoenn together—he’d caught her first Pokemon, the female Ralts named “Momo” and gave it to her as a present; a promise that they would go off into the world together. One dark and stormy night brought that crashing to a halt, however—he’d made a promise to her that he would be back in the morning so that they would start their journey; as he really wanted to catch a certain Pokemon that only appeared in the evening—and she waited in vain. There was no sign of him everywhere she looked the morning after—the café, the hot springs, everywhere in Lavaridge—nobody knew where the red-headed boy had gone off to.
That sent her into a tailspin, where she locked herself up in her room, hugging that Ralts, who was evidently distressed due to her Trainer’s sadness; and that caused cracks to appear in her normally stable personality. She only emerged from the room some time later, after all the tears had been shed—and half the room a wreck. She tried to pick up the pieces and resume with “the regular programming”, but then again, who said that Izumi had recovered from that night…

Role play Sample:
At that moment, the shade of pink she'd acquired earlier turned a deeper shade of crimson—she was now as, if not redder—than his hair at this point. She then realized that there were words being said—and the first ones she'd blurted out were… "We… we got drunk on rum?!" before staring at him in complete silence; there had to be some sort of a hidden camera crew filming their every move—she was just waiting for the punch line to come—but after several moments of silence none came. Her hands were trembling—had he known about what she was really feeling, after all this time?! After that one particular quest where everything came out of the closet and skeletons were actually bared… "How could have I missed the memo…" she said at last, smacking a hand to her forehead.
"Here's the thing," she began after listening to the roaring current that was her train of thought. "One, you've admitted to me that you're a PK, and people would come after you. Two, they may not trust me in the same way ever again… but we make such a good team… ah what the hell, who cares about that…" she said, as if arguing with herself; trying to make heads or tails about the entire thing that was presented to her. Taking another deep breath, she continued, "I knew that sooner or later things are going to get ugly if word gets out that I'm tangled up with someone I can't just necessarily abandon due to your 'standing'…" before shivering and then taking a bite of the BLT she was holding. She needed time to think, so she then gave him the other sandwich she was still holding, her face still red as the inside of a watermelon at this point.
