Name: Vera Boone
Age: 17
Height: 5'5"
Physical Appearance: Vera has long purple hair that ends at her stomach. She usually keeps it down, but she sometimes puts it into a ponytail and sticks what looks to be bones into it (at least, that's what everyone assumes they are...). Curiously, she has silver eyes, though no one in her family does. Many have thought that Vera is blind because of how they look, but in reality, she can see perfectly fine. She has pale olive skin that tans pretty well (though for some reason, the tan never really stays...) and a thin, lithe frame.
Personality: Vera has a pretty bubbly and energetic personality, but don't get her wrong, she's serious when she needs to be. Very determined and always aiming to be the best she can be, Vera isn't one to give up a challenge easily. She's very accepting of others (which might explain why she has such an affinity for ghost type pokemon) and tends to make friends easily. She might also be into ghost pokemon because of how strange she can be....
Clothing: Vera wears a light purple t-shirt with a gray hoodie and jean short shorts. She also wears a pair of black high tops. Pinned to the inside of her hoodie is a diamond and amethyst brooch her father gave her.
A Little About Your Character: Vera was born in Lavender Town in Kanto and she has always had a closer bond to ghost type pokemon than any other type. Because of her eyes and pale skin, people often thought that Vera herself was a ghost, and many children in Lavender Town were either afraid of her or teased her. She didn't really mind them, though. She had plenty of ghost type pokemon as friends that protected her from the bullies by either scaring them away or giving them nightmares for weeks on end.
As she grew older however, Vera was tormented worse and worse by the people of her hometown. Despite being regularly called a freak, Vera held her head high and continued to attempt to make friends. This was tough, considering her father's job required them to move constantly from city to city, town to town, region to region. No matter where they went, poor Vera didn't seem to have much luck at making friends. Seeing his daughter's struggling and seeing a new job opportunity in Alola that would not require them to move, Vera's father made the decision to move the family to their final destination after Vera turned 14.
Vera's family moved to Malie City on Ula'Ula Island, but it didn't take long for her to find Tapu Village, the Aether House, and the Thrifty Megamart, where she met Acerola. The two really hit it off, and through Acerola, Vera met many of her current friends. To celebrate the success of the move, Vera's father gave her a special diamond and amethyst brooch that she always wears on the inside of her hoodie, closest to her heart.
Though she didn't have friends for a while, Vera constantly battled and dreamed of becoming a strong trainer that others could look up to. She continued to battle and train after arriving in Alola and was overjoyed when she was invited to participate in the tournament, seeing this as an opportunity to really show off her and her team's strength.
