APPEARANCE
Description: Alex stands at 5'6" and has a more athletic build. She weighs 132lbs, and is quite toned from leading a very active lifestyle. Her raven-black hair is kept quite long, and she keeps it tied up into a thick ponytail. She has vibrant, wide blue eyes. Her complexion is very fair and often she looks quite pale. She used to be teased for her over-long canines, which she hated as a kid but rather likes now. She doesn't like her feet, which she considers 'too big' at a size eight. She has average sized hands with 'piano fingers', long and dexterous. Even though her behavior is tomboyish, her style of dress is varied. She wears shorts with varied shirts a lot. She likes running shoes, but really loves roller blades. She seems to prefer lighter colors. The two most often seen on her are blue and white. She does wear black sometimes though. She loves her hoop earrings, and bracelets. She does enjoy necklaces as well.
PERSONALITY
Personality: Despite the fact that she doesn't mind a few feminine things such as accessorizing her outfits, Alex is really not very girly in most other aspects. She loves nice cars, pokemon, and art. Rollerblading, rock climbing, hiking, adventuring, working out, and being active are things she enjoys. She is a very good cook, even over a campfire. She takes pride in her cooking and in having other people try the food she makes. She can always be found with her sketch pad and pack of art supplies in her knapsack. It is her biggest talent, besides those that include pokemon. She sketches constantly, and her primary subject is pokemon. She can do people and scenery as well, but enjoys drawing or painting pokemon more.
Alex is someone who over analyzes and worries too much. She is constantly thinking, and even has trouble sleeping at night due to it. One wouldn't recognize it from her seemingly outgoing and optimistic nature, but she does get really down and depressed and has problems with anxiety at times. She is very stubborn and loves debating. While she is always honest to a fault, she is often far too blunt. She often says things without realizing how another person might take it. It is an issue that she is trying to work on, but her mouth does run away with her. It's part of the reason she prefers hanging around males, as they don't take offense as easily. She is her own worst critic and expects perfection from herself, while forgiving others and excusing their faults all too easily. Because of this she tends to get walked on a bit, though she is learning how to stand up for herself better--especially since she's become a trainer and managed to raise her pokemon well. It also helps that Kuromori, her Lucario, is there for constant support.
When it comes to the opposite sex, Alex has very little experience. She has had only a couple of crushes and has never even had a boyfriend. She has a major crush on Green Oak, whom she admires as having done exactly as she would like to someday. Plus, he's really cute! She also thinks Red is pretty darn awesome. As a trainer from the Kanto region, it's not a wonder these two would be people she admires. She has worked really hard battling and raising the five pokemon she has on hand. She hasn't bothered catching any more but would now like to get a couple more for her team. She puts a lot of focus into each pokemon, trying to spend time raising and evolving them before moving on to get more. Her dedication has been rewarded by having five fully evolved pokemon, whom she has gotten TM's for to get move sets that work against most other types. She is especially fond of putting moves on that are different than the type that the pokemon is to surprise her opponents. If a battle comes down to one pokemon remaining, she wants to have an ace in the hole. She believes in brains over brawn, and does her best to make sure her pokemon get the most out of the battle, win or lose.
Ambitions: Eventually she would like to run her own gym, someday. She has considered breeding as well, but is unsure if she wants to go that route. She enjoys her work as an artist and trainer. Most of her time is dedicated to this.

HISTORY
History: Born in the Kanto region, Alex was raised by her mother, and never knew her father. Her mother had her quite young, at the age of nineteen. Her mother and she were always close, and as an only child she had all of her mom's attention. Her mother is very artistic and was always doing crafts and art with Alex. It is where Alex got her own talent from. She always loved art and pokemon from day one. She wanted nothing more than to have her own. Her mother liked fire and dark types, and had a female houndour which evolved to a houndoom later on. Yet she wanted Alex to experience other things in life before making a decision on a route to take.
Alex therefore got a lot of life experience. She learned cooking, she accompanied her mom to her art shows and even began selling her own art by the time she was thirteen. She got to really enjoy life, and to see all aspects of it. Breeders, trainers, coordinators, gym leaders...she met and saw them all. She volunteered in a pokemon lab, and did a lot with pokemon. Her mom wanted her to make a good choice on her first pokemon, but Alex found she couldn't pick one. She always had trouble making final decisions. She had friends who became trainers when they were ten, yet she decided to wait and took art lessons and continued volunteering at the lab.
Then her mother's houndoom, a female, was lent to a breeder. Three eggs were produced from the pairing, and Alex's mother got to keep one. Her daughter asked if she could have it as her first pokemon. It hatched a male, whom she named 'Loki'. She was thirteen, and finally decided trainer was indeed the route she wanted to go. She didn't take the way that many did. She didn't go out and aim to catch more pokemon. Instead, she worked with Loki to get him stronger. She put all her time and attention into him, until the houndour was evolved into a houndoom. On a visit home, on her fourteenth birthday, her mother gave her a gift. It was another egg, but she just smiled and wouldn't say what it held so that the girl would have a surprise when it hatched. Indeed she did! An unusual looking charmander hatched out. She named him Balerion, and planned to do what she'd done with Loki. It didn't quite turn out that way, though. She was visiting a breeder in Johto who had lucario who could actually speak. The breeder was looking for someone to buy the egg that that lucario had had. She wondered: would the resulting riolu be able to speak as well? It was too tempting to turn up her nose at. So she bought the egg.
While waiting for it to hatch, she thought of all the possibilities that could arise from having a pokemon who could speak to her, and her other pokemon. It might change everything for her. It was exciting and bit daunting. Besides, she was unsure if the riolu would be able to speak at all. It might not have inherited the ability to. When it hatched, it didn't say anything. She figured that it was all right, though, and named him Kuromori. She had three pokemon now. That wasn't so bad at all. She had never bothered capturing wild pokemon she battled. She figured if she ran into one that interested her enough she might. Yet she preferred to buy from breeders.
She was fifteen before she got her next couple of pokemon. It was the day riolu evolved into lucario. She had just finished battling a friend, the one her mother had bred her houndoom with. They had gotten in some new pokemon and new eggs. Riolu evolved after winning a battle with the Nidoqueen. The first thing it did was look at her, and suggest that she adopt a couple more pokemon and then perhaps they should go take on a gym leader. Astounded, Alex asked him if he'd not been able to speak as riolu. It turned out he'd been able to, but didn't 'feel it necessary to do so'. Now that he'd evolved, though, he felt it was about time he started. She took Kuro's advice, and chose to buy two more eggs. She didn't want to take on more than that. It was still important to her to devote her time to the pokemon and get them evolved and teach them moves that would make them stand a better chance in battles.
The eggs hatched into a nidoran female whom she named Nyx, and a male persian she named Keroberos. They eventually both evolved, and Kuro and she began discussing getting a sixth pokemon. She had decided to have a full roster of six before she would start challenging any of the gym leaders. Along the way she'd met a lot of other trainers and had many battles. She had the experience and had learned a lot. She intends to visit different breeders until she finds the right sixth. In the meantime, she has also considered the possibility of capturing a wild pokemon. Now that her and her pokemon are so close to taking on their first gym, Alex hopes that they are as ready as she feels. She did spend four years traveling and preparing. The last task left is to find a sixth member, and train them in the manner she has the rest of her team.

Role play Sample: Alex gently poked the coals of the fire, a faraway look in her eyes. One more pokemon, and then they'd be challenging their first gym. Beside her, a lucario sat, eyes closed. It wasn't sleeping. Kuro often spent his time brooding quietly. He was a thinker, but didn't spend his time worrying or over analyzing like his trainer did. He was more the meditation type.
"I'm going to need to get more wood for this fire," she voiced finally, breaking the silence between them. On the other side of the fire, a large, black, dog-like pokemon raised its head at the same time a feline-pokemon did. It was rare for Kuro, Loki or Kero to be in their pokeballs. While Balerion seemed to like his just fine, as did Nyx, this particular trio were nearly always out and accompanying her.
~Let the flames die. The sun set hours ago. It is high time you sought sleep. Tomorrow we continue our search.~
Alex sighed heavily, but then stretched and yawned. He was right. They still had to continue their search for that final team member of theirs. She didn't have a clue what she was looking for. So far, they had a decent team. Type-wise, they needed something that differed. Kuro was fighting and steel. Loki dark and fire. Nyx poison and ground. Balerion fire and flying. Then there was her normal type, Kero. He was the only single-type pokemon she had. She was thinking maybe a psychic, water, plant or electric type. Maybe a dragon? She rested her head on her palm, frowning. She would find something that fit. Maybe another dual type.
Kuro stood up and walked over to her pack. He removed her bedroll and set it on the ground, glancing over his shoulder at her. She could take a hint. They had another day tomorrow. Another day of training, searching and traveling.
~One day at a time. Tomorrow is a new day. You will find a suitable pokemon. There is no cause to worry yourself over it. You lose sleep when you do, and you need sleep.~
Kuro was always the voice of reason. She smiled and nodded, getting into the bedroll. After she had settled, Kero and Loki padded over. They each chose a side beside her, and curled up beside her, adding their warmth to her own. Kuro leaned up against a boulder in the soft grass, and closed his eyes again. Alex sighed, this time contentedly. She was really lucky, and she knew it. She had come so far, and the relationships she'd formed with her pokemon were great. Sure, Balerion was a bit stubborn and hot headed--no pun intended--but she had a great team. A team to be proud of. She was sure that the pokemon she chose to join them would also be great. With that thought, she drifted off to sleep.
