Lucinda Lewis
Name: Lucinda Lewis Alias: Lucy Age: 16 Gender: Female Sexual Orientation: Questioning
Region: Sinnoh Class: Breeder Occupation: Assistant
APPEARANCE Description:
Lucinda's most noticeable quality is her black hair. Shiny and long, it's easy to see that she values keeping it clean and kept well. She argues otherwise, saying that she simply doesn't have time to style it or even get it cut.. but the fact that it has obviously actually been styled and she keeps it up shows her obvious lie. Her skin is relatively healthy and it's obvious that she gets enough sun, although she doesn't quite have the tough skin one might expect of a breeder.
She is a somewhat small young lady who looks as if she could handle an extra meal or two. In fact rather then a well-maintained die she gives off the impression of someone who might just honestly forget to eat sometimes. Her manner of dress is usually casual, although someday she can dress rather feminine if she is feeling the inspiration to do so.
PERSONALITY Personality:
Lucinda is a sensitive girl who feels things very strongly. An introspective girl, she internalizes most things she feels deeply before acting on things. Her sensitive nature to the world around her caused her to want to fix all the bad things in the world when she was younger, but had been mislead both by herself and others into doing the wrong things with her desire. Lately she feels rather small and powerless, frustrated but ultimately accepting of being led through life. At least for now.
Lucinda always considered herself a tough girl, but lately her trust in that has been a bit shaken. Lately she just has been going through the motions, trying to find something that feels right. The memory of Molly ultimately is one of the few things keeping her going. Although growing up she could never really understand her friend, she had always considered her a beautiful and wonderful person. She had been so classically feminine in such a beautiful way and so sweet. She was the kind of person she felt should be in the world more.. but had been taken from it for no reason other then the world was cruel.
Lucinda is at a crossroads in her life and is very confused and unsure. However a thought is nagging at her head.. maybe that's where she could find purpose. Maybe if she truly believed the world should be full of more people like her old friend had been.. and maybe if she really believed that she needed to perserve more of her friend in the world.. then.. just maybe.. Maybe she should try to live like her friend would have.. she didn't know where her own life would take her anymore. At this point.. living Molly's would at least give her something to do each day. However even when moving along she still feels hollow.. like a piece of her is missing. A piece she needed.
Ambitions:
Her biggest ambition is to find a place she feels like she is making a difference to the world for the better. Over time she hopes that Breeding will inspire this passion in her that Adam keeps telling her will. At it's most idealistic, she hopes that through Breeding she can help each person make a stronger connection not just with their Pokemon but with other beings in general. She actually dreams very big for herself, and wishes she had the strength to inspire that in others.
To say this is a secondary if not fully realized ambition could definitely be true. To not only help Pokemon reach their potential but to help other humans reach theirs to. To inspire other people to be better, sweeter, kinder, and possibly help other souls like her reach a better potential then she ever could. She would love to help blossom the true heroes of the world..

HISTORY
History:
"We called ourselves Team Universe. With a name like that you might expect that our scale had been large or something, but it was quite the opposite. We worked in the garage of a man who still lived with his mother. We were a bunch of losers who Galactic would never in their right mind take in. A bunch of kids, and an 'adult' who never grew up, believing they could somehow change the world. Tear down the system that we had gotten in our heads felt cruel and I always thought remake it into something better."
Lucinda had gotten involved with them herself because she thought it would be a place she could remake the world into something honestly better. She saw herself as tough kid that was willing to shoulder some of the heavier work if it made things better for people like Molly. Molly was a girl she had met when she was very young. Her presence had always made a deep impact on Lucinda . Molly wasn't perfect, but ultimately she was a sweet and innocent soul who really just did want to keep on living and be able to do things with her friends. Her own weakness made that hard and ultimately impossible though, spending what time she had on her bed. Lucinda would at best be a caring companion for her, but was ultimately left to feel frustrated about how useless she had been for her.
Perhaps it had been this feeling of being useless that drove her own recklessness. She had had argued against their foolish leader's ideas of trying to emulate the actual Team's by taking over their nearest media station.. a TV station, but up until now she had been a number on the side of people who felt that such actions would only harm the image of the group. If she wanted to take down the TV station, she wanted to use it for good. Their leader was sure however that any take over of the station would only end up reverting back the original owner over time. He just wanted to destroy it all.
Her friends death made her hate the world though. Or at least made her sour to it.. fine. Destroying it would at least send a symbol they all meant actual business.
-- She found herself some time later being released from "kid jail" as she called it. She didn't know how to feel anymore. The operation had been a huge reality check. They were nothing. She really was just a kid who had gotten it in her head she could do something big. What had even seemed like a good beginning to the operation had just been their own imagination. What control they had over the situation had just been given to them to assure no one had gotten hurt and delay for time for the police to show up. Once they had, they had been handled quickly. However they had done a fair bit of damage and even hurt a few people. They had a debt to repay.
The situation had brought up all her walls. She felt like a zombie during every night in her room, and every day out doing community service. Now she wasn't sure what she should do. Her therapist, someone her parents had been making her see.. told her that she was a deep and intelligent girl. She didn't feel that way right now. He kept telling her to find a way to take her energy and drive to make the world better and do positive things with it. To not use Pokemon as tools for vengence and hate, but find a way to make the world better.
She didn't know where to start doing that. She wandered around whenever she could, but her parents had reigned her in. Until she had proven otherwise she wouldn't be leaving the house anymore. Honestly she didn't even trust herself right now.. and although she felt some anger towards her parents for this action she didn't have enough heart to fight it. Fine. If that's what they wanted.
She found a glimmer of direction due to two meetings. The first was with Molly's mother. A sweet older woman, Lucinda had started spending time with her. It was the mothers idea.. Daisy or something. Daisy kept telling her how important Lucinda had been for her child, and how much she appreciated it. That it was because of that that she hated to see Lucinda lash out at the world. These things didn't effect her much. It was the same things everyone had been telling her. How she was a good little girl, but just directing her energy wrong.
What had effected her though was when she had told that.. Molly wouldn't have wanted it this way.
This thought kept nagging to her in the back of her mind. Was that really true? It wasn't hard to see it that way. She started to truly feel so guilty when she kept thinking more about this. She had felt bad before but this girl had been special to her.. she wouldn't have wanted it this way. It wasn't hard for Lucinda to realize it once she really thought about it. She knew her so well.. but what would she want now? What was she supposed to do? She needed her..
Her mother left Molly's old Pokemon in Lucinda's possession. She was only able to use them under her parents watchful eye, but Daisy had felt that Molly would have wanted it this way. Seeing them was hard for Lucinda. They only served her to remind her of what was missing.. but at the same time they were still a comfort. They were a little piece of her that was still around. She just wished she could bring more pieces back.
The second meeting that gave her new direction was with a man who looked familiar. Immediately she pegged him as family of the man who had lead "Team Universe". He introduced himself as such, his cousin.
She simply watched him and their parents talk for a while before was actually brought in the discussion. Apparently despite being not-involved in his cousin's schemes, this man.. named Adam, had felt somewhat responsible. He had seen them multiple times planning their schemes, and had even known about their plan to attack the station before they had actually done it.. but he had been too afraid to speak up. Since then he had been blaming himself for letting his cousin warp the children's minds and had wanted to do something about it. Lucinda's parents for their part told him he shouldn't blame himself.
However he still did and wanted to be a positive influence in their life. That was where apparently, Lucinda came in. He had come here to offer her a job.
Apparently due to his cousin's actions, Adam had inherited what was originally going to be his. A broken down but still ultimately functional ranch for raising and breeding Pokemon. He was here to offer a job to Lucinda as his apprentice. At first, this idea seemed awful to Lucinda and she was already quickly resenting her parents for seeming so excited about the idea. She hated the idea of being forced to do "good things" just because they felt they should. Was she never going to be allowed to make her own decisions anymore?
It was then though.. she looked down at the Pokemon at her foot and remembered Molly again. Breeding huh.. wasn't that what Molly had wanted to do? She suddenly felt a pang of guilt again, the same guilt that had driven her to do the horrible things she had done. Why couldn't she have saved her? Why wasn't she still here?
Maybe this was for the best.. maybe she could.. in some way.. live for her..

Overall the app looks pretty good and is all but ready for approval, but history seems a bit unfinished. You jump straight into the incident involving the television station, but you haven't explained why she was part of that group - how she fell in with the wrong people, what drove her to join it, or why she looked up to what was viewed as a largely criminal organization in Sinnoh. You'll need to cover a bit more of her childhood and clarify how she got to where she is now.
When you have updated your application, please re-post a link to it in the Mod Summons Shout box.
