Alias: The Steel Roulette; The Iron Gambler; That Bitch Who Runs That Gym
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Region: Orre
Class: Gym Leader
Occupation: Hassan Gym Leader - Steel-Type Specialist
APPEARANCE
Description:
If a woman could manifest an aspect of nature, Ferris would have become steel itself. Tall and lean, every sinew of her body has an aura of strength. Not many women can claim to be 5'11" and even fewer have her physique. She is covered head to toe in lean muscle that has been crafted and manifested from years of training. Sleek black hair is kept cut meticulously, often pulled back into a ponytail that strands off all by itself.
Her usual attire consists of her business suit that she wears to deal with the business leaders in Orre. Form-fitting pants match the tailored top, cut in such a way as to show off her hard-fought physic while hiding her femininity. This effort to appear professional seems to heighten the power in her face – there, a subtle beauty lies within grey eyes and sleek lips that always seem to have been misted lightly from her habit of biting her lower lip.
PERSONALITY
Personality:
A gambling addiction is a powerful thing. Ferris likes to live life like a big bet - either she goes big or she goes home. She's not reckless, however. The woman of steel will always go for the safe bet when she can, relying on calculated numbers and gathered knowledge to ensure her edge. If the numbers don't add up, she won't act.
She isn't so set in stone, though. She knows how to relax and enjoy herself. She used to really know how to party, but she kicked all of her substance addictions a long time ago. No more drinks for this lady. She still has a lot of problems with this - she'll go through some pretty painful mental kicks to keep herself in check.
Ferris can't stand it when people are overconfident and get ahead of themselves. She'll put them down faster than she could throw down a pair of dice. She prefers to keep the company of people who actually have common sense and can keep their wits about them, especially if they use those wits to spar with her and give her a run for her money.
She habitually keeps a pair of dice and a lucky coin on her person at all times to pass the time, and is often seen flipping the coin with one hand as she zones out into her thoughts.
If you heat up the Steel Roulette, it fires back. She's rarely angry, but if you manage to get Ferris fired up she'll blow you down. Her calm demeanor is merely a bottle for her passive-aggressiveness that overflows with heated passion and dedication to solving the problem that upset her, even if the solution is decking you in the face.

HISTORY
History:
Aspiring trainers can often become aspiring couples, and such was the fate for two young trainers that met in Phenac City. The love they shared warranted enough for them to settle down in the city and set up shop then and there. Time passes and all that, and a kid is born. A lovely daughter with hair the shade of steel. A standard beginner for the girl was before her, with a rather average life. Her parents kept her engaged with Pokemon in her life from infancy, so they were an extremely natural part of her life.
Growing up sucks, though. As a young teen, life began to falter for the young Gwyneth and her Karrablast. Her family always spoke pretty heavily against the criminal underground and a lot of those organizations had supporters based in The Under. Young Gwyneth set out, aiming to follow an example set by her parents and teach some punks some lessons. Boy, was she wrong. She got trounced and tossed around like a flimsy piece of sheet metal and tossed back into the incinerator. Left disheartened by the strength the criminals and thugs held, she fled back to Phenac, back to safety.
The hold Cipher eventually had over the region was enough to make her stand back up and fight as the years passed. She had entered a bad spot, fighting in iffy trainer battles just to earn money to fuel a bodily urge for alcohol and other illicits. This, however, wasn't enough to back her into a corner, and rock bottom makes for a fine foundation. She saw the desparity all around her in tournaments in Pyrite and The Under, and finally quit the needle in order to become what her region needed. Tempering her resolve, Ferris found her calling within the Pokemon type that held the ideals she needed to back up her motives. Fighting back, she found herself helping citizens where she could, beating back the small pockets of thugs although unable to do anything on a meaningful scale.
Unsatisfied and seeking to continue her progress, she left Orre for two years in order to travel and study in the Hoenn region, exploring each area of the diverse region. Satisfied with her own growth she returned and staked a claim for the title of Gym Leader in the place she realized she was truly needed - The Under, where she would settle all of her unfinished business and stamp out the bad name with an iron fist. A lucky roll is all it should take to set things right if she bets correctly.
