Region: Orange Archipelago | North Mandarin Island
Class: Trainer
Occupation:
APPEARANCE
Description: Vena is somewhat tall for her age, though not
awkwardly so, with a delicate bone structure and long limbs. She was
always scrawny and wiry when she was very young, but with the onset
of puberty has begun growing into a softer, more feminine form. She
is fairly active day to day, however, and so is still lean. Her face
is oval in shape and her features are very rounded and gentle. She
has smooth cheek bones, a small, delicate chin, a straight nose and
full, pink lips. Her eyes are large and bright green, framed by long,
dark lashes. Her skin is darker in complexion, mostly due to her
spending a great deal of her time outdoors in the tropical sun.
During summer months she can get particularly dark. Her hair is light
brown and cut into a short, feminine bob. She keeps it parted
somewhat off-center, and though she has bangs she keeps them pushed
to the side.
Vena's clothing style is extremely casual and almost grungy. She
likes the look of worn and tattered clothes and usually prefers them
to fancier, more fashionable garments. Part of the reason for this is
that she spends so much time outdoors getting dirty that keeping nice
clothes clean and neat is just a hassle. Growing up on an island she
is accustomed to a tropical climate and usually just wears shorts,
tanktops, and sandals. She is of the opinion that this is perfectly
practical attire for most of her traveling and battling, with the
exception of the sandals which she has replaced with a pair of much
sturdier boots. She has tried to plan ahead some for different
weather conditions, and has packed a jacket and long pants for cold
weather, and socks, gloves, and a hat and scarf for colder weather
(and of course, her sunglasses and bikini for all those warm, sunny
beaches). She doesn't normally wear any makeup, though she will when
she wants to dress up, and only wears one accessory; a brass
necklace. She likes to wear green to accent her eyes but mostly
prefers darker colors such as blacks and grays. Her favorite color is
yellow.
PERSONALITY
Personality: Vena is confident and largely independent. She
doesn't mind having to get things done for herself, though of course
she likes having a few good friends around most of the time.
Exceptionally curious about the world around her she is very
adventurous and loves to explore. This curiosity can get her into
trouble sometimes, however, as she can be a bit of a snoop and has
been caught searching through other people's things or listening in
on interesting conversations. She dislikes feeling cooped up or
trapped, as she is very active and must almost always be moving. She
can become impatient when forced to sit around and wait, and can also
become reckless and impulsive. She enjoys spontaneity and often acts
on impulse, as she gets bored easily and needs to find ways to keep
entertained. Though in general a very kind and gentle person, Vena
does love a good competition and never passes up a good battle. She
loves pokemon in and of themselves. She thinks they are fascinating.
She enjoys being able to get up close to them whenever she can. Vena
likes battling the most, but also enjoys watching coordinating events
and the like, as she finds it extremely interesting to see the ways
in which other people bond with (and make a living with) their
pokemon.
She loves to know how things work and has a solid respect for
things like science and technology, and is always happy to get her
hands on a new gadget. She loves nature and the outdoors, and spends
most of her free time outside. She has an almost equal love for big
cities too, and a day walking down the street in the shadows of
skyscrapers, among crowds of people, can be just as exciting to her
as a stroll through an old forest, in the shadows of the trees with
no one but herself.

HISTORY
History: Vena was born on Mandarin Island and spent all of
her childhood there. She was raised by her father, as her mother left
when she was still very young. Vena doesn't know exactly what
happened and has no memories of her mother, but this of course means
she has nothing to miss. As such she has never had any particular
grief about her mother's absence. It was just a part of life.
Though never anything close to rich her and her father got by well
enough. They lived in the same apartment for her whole life, along
with her father's Herdier.
Vena wanted to be a Trainer for as long as she can remember. Part
of the appeal was the pokemon themselves, but a large part was the
promise of travel and adventure. Growing up on an island (though a
large island, in a big city), made her feel that she had yet to
experience the real world. Her father didn't allow her to sign up as
a Trainer when she turned ten, however. He wanted her to stay in
school for a few more years as he felt this was important to her
future, especially once she was older and perhaps done traveling. He
also felt that ten was just too young for her to be traveling on her
own.
Vena was angry and heartbroken about being forced to stay on the
island. She loved her father, they had always had a close
relationship, but she wanted independence, and watching the other
kids her age gear up and leave made it feel unfair. As consolation,
however, her father took her out to buy a pokemon of her very own.
She ended up with a young Kecleon from a rescue center, whom she
named Newt.
Vena and Newt bonded quickly and were soon inseparable. Though she
had to stay home and to stay in school, Vena wasn't going to let it
get in the way of her beginning her career as a Trainer. She battled
other kids in the city, kids from her neighborhood or those she knew
from school, meeting them on the beach, in alleys and on rooftops.
She also battled her father's Herdier from time to time, for fun, and
for any tips he had for her, though he had never been a Trainer
himself and had limited knowledge about battling. In her free time,
Vena and Newt wandered the Island and the city, exploring and looking
for challenges.
At age thirteen, Vena left academic school and joined the
Trainer's Academy. She wanted to travel, but her father had managed
to convince her to put it off for just a little longer. Though she
wouldn't be traveling and catching pokemon, the Trainer's Academy
would teach her enough that when she finally left she would have a
good knowledge of pokemon and battling, and would be, he felt,
sufficiently prepared to be on her own. The academy turned out to be
pretty fun, it was the kind of studying Vena enjoyed. She made a lot
of new friends (and rivals), and above all, learned a huge deal about
pokemon and what to expect from a life as a Trainer.
At age sixteen Vena finally left the Orange Islands, with Newt by
her side. She headed to the mainland, for Kanto. Along the way she
encountered and caught a Horsea, whom she named Caspian. The
first wild pokemon she ever caught, she felt that a water type was the
perfect symbolism of the island home she was leaving behind.
