APPEARANCE
Description:
Ramona is… well, where to begin…? First and foremost, Ramona is a young woman (just in case you couldn’t tell from the picture). Some have even gone so far as to deem her attractive –very much so, in fact. And with good reason. Standing at a reasonable height of 5 feet, 6.2 inches and weighing in at a little over 130 (heavier than normal, due to above average muscle mass), Ramona has been gifted with the sort of body that most girls her age (and possibly older than she) would kill for: possessed of a voluptuous, hourglass figure, prodigious chest, silky hair, blazing crimson eyes, and a virtually flawless complexion, she is an epitome of adolescent beauty.
Her physique is, in every sense of the word, remarkable; years of constant training and intense physical activity has given her with a musculature that is athletic and defined without being bulky or excessive. Having virtually, if not completely, reached the physical zenith for one her age, Ramona is capable of lifting objects nearly twice her own weight, albeit with much difficulty.
Prior to her seventeenth birthday, Ramona used to have long, flowing hair that reached her waist, and wore a high-collared, red and white top with golden trim, a shortened white skirt, dark stockings, and blue sneakers. However upon reaching her seventeenth year of life, Ramona has since had her hair cut to shoulder length, tying the rest into a small ponytail on the side of her head. She also now wears more tomboyish attire: a light, yellow jacket she keeps open at all times (not that it could fit over her in the first place), a dark red shirt that shows off her midriff, and a pair of dark jeans over and black, calf-length boots.

PERSONALITY
Personality:
Ramona is, put very, very simply, a tomboy. Of course she doesn't classify herself as such -the activities she enjoyed simply intersected with what boys did. She enjoys sports, fighting, exercise, anime, and manga, among other things. However, there's one thing that she enjoys above all others: Pokemon. Ramona absolutely adores Pokemon, and Pokemon battles in particular. Were she asked to describe herself, she would, without hesitation, call herself a battle enthusiast, or even fanatic. There's nothing that quite gets her blood pumping like a good Pokemon battle, down to the wire, your last Pokemon against your opponent's, just... Oh, she could just live off that adrenaline!!
Oh, excuse me! Where was I? Right. Pokemon battles. She really likes battles. Ahem... moving on.
Though she is a tomboy, that doesn't mean she doesn't like feminine things. A slight exhibitionist by nature, Ramona has literally no scruples about showing off her beautiful body to others. By extension, she also enjoys dressing up in things that show off her body -dressing up in various costumes and cosplays that display her figure, for example. That classic scenario where a boy walks in on a girl in the middle of disrobing, and she gets all flustered and kicks him out, blushing all the while? Yeah, she doesn't do that; she'd likely just greet them, then continue changing. More likely she'd stop what she was doing to have a conversation with the person who entered, half-naked all the while. That said, she's an exhibitionist, not a slut. She doesn't enjoy stripping, per se, just being looked at.
She is a bit... lacking, shall we say, in the romance department. Having focused largely on training and battling during her travels, Ramona has subconsciously abstained from romantic relationships and remained celibate. As a result, she has very rarely had romantic feelings for another and, while she picks up on signals being sent her way, she chooses to ignore them. Deliberate ignorance, she calls it.
Ramona is also a large proponent in the policy of never giving up. Much like her weekly shonen action heroes, Miss Albarn believes that guts, hard work, and perseverance can get you through tough situations, and as a result finds it both inconceivable and unforgivable for a person to simply give up after one try, even if it means trying to win her love -so long as the goal doesn't involve hurting innocent people.
The last major aspect of her personality is by far the darkest. Though not a shining example like some people she knows, Ramona is a great example of why you should beware the nice ones. If she is pushed far enough, whether by the abuse of Pokemon or people, or hurting her friends, she will fly into a rage so terrifying that you'd better pray to Arceus she gives you a chance to apologize and/or surrender. It took the police and all of her Pokemon just to calm her down last time.

HISTORY
History:
Ramona was born into a modest home in Lavaridge Town, where she spent the first few years of her life playing with the other children and adoring Pokemon. As a child she found herself drawn to action and adventure stories, and soon began to aspire to become like the heroes on the television. The first step, she deduced at age 6, was to train herself in the ways of the action hero and Pokemon trainer. So she begged her parents to enroll her in some martial arts classes. Unfortunately, since Lavaridge Town was a small, rather rural area, there was not a dojo for miles. The child remained undeterred, and began to train herself by copying the moves she'd seen on the television. It wasn't the best way to learn how to fight by any means, but she did begin to learn. However, what factored as a disadvantage for her fighting skills was the very same thing that gave her the edge as a trainer. When she wasn't busy with homework, watching TV or playing, Ramona was at the Lavaridge Gym, watching any and every battle she could. She videotaped them whenever she could and frequently reviewed them, analyzing strategies and moves that each opponent used against the Gym Leader.
At the tender age of 9.5 years, Ramona decided it was time to start on her Pokemon journey to be the best that the world's ever seen. Her parents, neither of whom had been trainers, were reluctant to comply with her request, even more so because she had not yet turned ten yet. However, she was persistence was unrelenting, until finally, when her grandparents voiced their approval of her dreams of adventure, they gave in. They left for Littleroot Town the next day. The trip was long by car, but it seemed to fly for the eager girl; she absorbed everything she saw with zeal and enthusiasm.
It was night when they arrived at the nearest town, so Ramona insisted that they sleep in the forest, under the stars. Despite this, the child found herself unable to fall asleep, too excited and awed by the events that would come the next day. So instead she slipped away from the camp and began to wander around, hoping to stumble upon Professor Birch's lab. However, it didn't take long until the girl's ocean of energy drained, and before she knew it, she found herself snuggling on a rather comfortable patch of grass.
Ramona woke up the next morning to discover herself in the arms of a large bearded man in a lab coat who would later introduce himself as an assistant to Professor Birch, the very man she had been looking for. Of course, having just woke up, Ramona didn't react too well to finding herself in the arms of a strange, unknown man. So she squirmed out of his arms and ran, only to find herself in the middle of a laboratory, and her parents chuckling in amusement. After a bit of explaining (and chastising on her parents' part) the assistant -the Professor himself being away on some business- happily gave her the Pokemon of her choosing, an adorable little Torchic the girl named 'Hunter'. In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have given anyone any Pokemon without the Professor's go-ahead, but she wasn't complaining. And thus began the epic tale of Ramona Evangeline Estella Diomedes Albarn.
Ramona spent the next eight and a half years of her life training her body and mind, as well as those of her Pokemon. She did as Trainers do, capturing and training Pokemon as she hopped from region to region in search of adventure; from Hoenn to Kanto to Unova... Eventually, her journey steered her to very briefly cross paths with a beautiful blonde-haired woman by the name of Cynthia. The young woman couldn't become infatuated quickly enough. Upon further research, Ramona discovered that the woman she had found herself in love with to be the champion of Sinnoh. She quickly changed her plans; Johto could wait, she needed to see that woman again.

Role play Sample: Ramona looked across the field, fiery crimson eyes assessing her opponent. Her opponent, or should she say sparring partner, looked back at the young woman with equal solemnness.
“Alright, Hunter,” she said in a tone much more serious than her usual, jovial one, “you know the rules. First one to tap out loses. We fight with just our martial arts, nothing else.” The Blaziken, standing tall and proud as it gazed at its partner, nodded. Of course, the recital of the rules was very much redundant; the two had sparred many, many more times than either cared to keep track of. The rules were drilled into both of their heads by now. Ramona hadn’t gotten a chance to do this in a long while, however, and wanted to make absolutely certain that the two of them knew the rules they had established years ago.
“Ace, you’re the ref,” the Knight stated, shifting her gaze to the Gallade standing idly on the side of the training ground. The Blade Pokemon simply nodded, lifting its arm in preparation.
“GALLADE!” he shouted, bringing his hand down to signal the start of the match. Hunter and Ramona were off like twin rockets, charging at each other, head on. It looked like the two were about to collide, when Hunter suddenly stopped on a dime, rotating her body for a powerful roundhouse kick to the side of the other’s head. Ramona acted quickly, dropping to the ground before the leg could hit and sweeping the Blaziken’s other foot.
The Blaze Pokemon let out a grunt as her leg was swept from under her, but quickly recovered, planting its other leg onto the ground and bringing the swept leg up above its head. Ramona’s eyes widened as she saw this, and she threw herself into a roll as her opponent’s leg smashed the ground with a powerful axe kick. Coming out of her roll, the bluenette planted her feet firmly on the ground, launching herself at the Blaziken like a sprinter at the starting gun. Leaping into the air, the teen twisted her body to deliver a spinning kick to Hunter’s face.
However, the Pokemon anticipated this, and quickly brought her arm up to block the incoming attack. Ramona smirked as Hunter grabbed her leg with her clawed hand. Seeing an opening, she used the momentum of her previous attack to windmill her body in mid-air, smashing the heel of her boot into the fire-type’s exposed midsection. Hunter grunted, her grip loosening just enough for the crimson-eyed teen to force her leg from it.
The girl didn’t let up, however, landing in a handstand before allowing herself to drop to the floor once more. From there she used the momentum to windmill herself, sweeping Hunter’s legs once again before swinging herself back into a crouch. The Blaziken brought itself back to its feet with a kip-up, and the two were back at it again.
Ace, meanwhile watched the two combatants go at it with a small amount of awe. Even after all these years, those two still managed to come up with new moves and strategies in order to defeat each other.
