PokeSpe OC: Magenta

Basics
Name: Magenta Hawthorne
Nickname: Maggie (to her parents); Gen (to her friends)
Birthday: 23rd July
Birthplace/Hometown: Nacrene City/Camphrier Town

Family: Father Mark, mother Rachel, her older cousins Opal and Jade (and their parents). Magenta is an only child, but never felt lonely because she was never alone. She was either tagging along with her parents when they went to the day care, or with at least one Pokemon if left at home. </sub>

Occupation: Trainer
Ambition: to become either a Pokemon breeder, like her parents, or to become a Pokemon Ranger</sub>

Story: Magenta was born in the Isshu region, but moved to the Kalos region when she was 3 years old and has lived in Camphrier Town since. The daughter of two Pokemon breeders, she picked up on their dedication to helping to raise Pokemon, even those who had yet to hatch. The thought of travelling with Pokemon didn't cross her mind until she met her cousin Opal. She learned more about how to care for her partners while journeying, which was different from looking after them while at home.

The twin Eevees she'd hatched a while back became part of her team, as did the Azurill she'd befriended during a visit to Floccesy Ranch in Isshu (it had since evolved into an Azumarill). She gathered all 8 badges in Kalos, and went on to defeat the Elite Four. However, she soon stepped down to let Diantha take her place as Champion once more.</sub>

Now, she makes her way through Hoenn, having been fascinated most by her cousin's stories of her own travels through that region. She's left most of her team at home except for her Umbreon, Rakkun, and her just-hatched Zorua. She's managed to beat the first 2 gyms, but for now is participating in Pokemon Contests more than in battles.

Personality: Magenta is helpful, outspoken, and kind. She can be tomboyish (she uses the pronoun 'boku'), but that hasn't stopped her from trying on outfits she deems cute. She can be straightforward, bordering on sounding rude if she isn't careful. She tends to go with gut instinct instead of logic, usually making split-second decisions. She's observant, too, rarely missing anything in her surroundings.

She gets angry easily where Pokemon are involved, being protective of them - even those who she hasn't caught or trained. She rarely catches Pokemon, on that note, preferring to befriend them, or else hatch them first.

An outdoors type of person, she's as comfortable in a sleeping bag in the woods as she would be in an inn or small hotel. Highly aware of her inexperience as a trainer, she can be touchy or react defensively if it's pointed out. </sub>

Team

Pochiro (male Poochyena) - Received as an egg from Opal when the two met en route to Hoenn, the young Poochyena hatched soon after Magenta arrived in the region. In many ways, he's still a baby, wanting to be cuddled, carried, or else staying right by his trainer's side.

Achari (female Torchic) - This young Fire-type starter is actually scared by lightning and sudden loud noises, so she can usually be found in her trainer's arms when a storm looms. She doesn't hesitate to fight if she has to, wanting to show that she can be brave, too.

Rua-kun (male Zorua) - Hatched a while before Magenta left Kalos, he rarely plays tricks on his trainer, but sometimes will do so on his teammates. Most of the time, though, he behaves as much as possible; he's still the most fidgety of Magenta's team.

Tsuro (male Ralts) - Magenta befriended this young Pokemon before she reaches Petalburg. He's rather shy, but playful still, constantly spending time and playing with Pochiro.

Subari (female Taillow) - The feisty little bird reminded Magenta of her Talonflame in Kalos, when it was still a Fletchling. Subari is easily excited by new things and new places. She can become easily bored, too, though.

Rakkun (male Umbreon) - The older of the twin Eevees Magenta hatched back in Kalos, this quiet Pokemon likes to run and sneaking up on others. He's a night owl, and usually stands guard over his trainer and teammates, if he needs to. He enjoys riding on Magenta's shoulders now and then.

My OC for XY and onward - since Ru/Opal are going more behind the scenes by this point; again, I already uploaded this on deviantArt before, Her anime counterpart is named Kaname Tachibana (Kris Hawthorne). By the way - I was thinking of offering character sheets like this as commission types; should I go for it? =/
