Most notable scar is across the left side of her back from a run-in with a Donphan when she was younger. She has her earlobes pierced but often forgets to put them in again after working.

Interview Questions
Tell us a bit about yourself. How would you describe yourself?
Um, energetic! And... imaginative. I guess. I can't think of a better word right now. I like coming up with ideas. Sometimes I don't have the focus to actually follow through, but if I love a plan? You better bet I'm sticking with it strongly. At least for a while...
Why are you interested in your chosen Class?
Who isn't interested in farming? Seriously! I mean, I guess it's mostly because I grew up in the desert. Ugh, sand. Plants are so beautiful and Pokemon are amazing! I've never actually met your regular farm animals but I've seen my share of lizards and they're entertaining!
What brings you to Ageos?
I've lived here all my life. I only now decided to start my adventure--Pokemon adventure, that is--because I've been helping my family's business. My dad opened up a little trinket shop... er, furniture shop, actually. I just focus on the decorative things. Heh.
What are your best attributes?
I think my best attributes are how excited I can be for things. When I find something to be excited about, I am just gung-ho for that thing. And, uh... well, I like to make people happy. Pokemon too, actually! If the ones around me are happy, then so am I.
What are your worst attributes?
Mmm... I... don't like this question, but I guess... I'm too blunt sometimes. A lot of times, actually. I don't think about what I'm going to say too often. I'm... opiniontated, I suppose? Is that a correct term? Also, I can be pretty annoying.
What was your childhood like?
Great! My parents are good people. As I mentioned before, my dad opened his store--something he's always wanted to do--and my mom works as a waitress. A really under-valued job, you know? But that taught me a lot about people. School was fine. Every kid gets made fun of a little, but nothing too bad for me. I still have a few friends from school, even. The only real bad thing that ever happened to me was getting attacked by a Donphan when I was... hm, I want to say ten? Turns out it was just protecting its young. Who can blame it?
How did you get along with family?
Oh, I get along with my family great. I have one sister and one brother, both younger. I try to be a good role model. They seem to like me well enough. They're younger than me by enough that I never got the... rivalry thing that I guess is a big thing with some other siblings? I just think it's weird.
What are your hobbies?
I love music. It can really help my mood! I've also dabbled a little in taking care of plants, but what I've found is really great--fun and productive? Gathering. Going out into the wilderness and finding whatever I can. Berries, flowers, unique rocks, whatever! I keep them and try to sell them for little bits of cash.
How do you feel about romance?
I'm single. I make it clear up front that I'm not really looking for sex. That turns quite a few people away. A good chunk of the remainders think they can convince me otherwise. Of those left, they try to respect my boundaries but they realize they still want that part of a relationship, so we split. So, to answer your question: I love romance. I want to just lounge with someone or just be in the same room as someone and know we care about each other. Hugging, kissing, holding hands. All the little stuff. That's great. The bedroom stuff can stick to snuggles and sleeping.
What are your short-term and long-term goals?
Short term, I want to catch me some farm-friendly Pokemon. Like Mareep, Combee, Skiddo! I'll probably also want a herding Pokemon of some kind... Maybe just train up an Ampharos... Hm. Uh, and I also just want to see more plants, to be honest with you. Growing up in the desert really made me wish for more green. Long term, I want to have a big, sprawling farm. I want to walk from one corner to the other in no less than two hours, you get me? I want animals and Pokemon to have enough space to run and feel free. I want a miniature forest of bushes, trees, and crops! Big. Make sense?
If you could be a Pokémon, which one (or which type) would you be? Why?
Wait... what? Um, that's... a tough one. I mean, I've never actually thought about being a Pokemon. Hm... I guess, for type, I'd probably want to be Grass. Or Normal, even. Normal because they're versatile--or at least seen that way. Grass because, like I've mentioned, I really love plants.
What do Pokémon mean to you?
I think you mean 'what are Pokemon to you?'. They don't... 'mean' anything. What's that even supposed to mean? They are wonderful companions, helpful partners, and they supply us humans with more than we could ever properly thank them for.
Anything else you'd like to tell us before we let you go?
I may not look like much, but I'm a hard worker! What I lack in strength, I make up for in tenacity. Pokemon kinda like me, too, y'know? I work well with them.
Skills, Abilities, and Notoriety
Agility: 5 - Adept
Charisma: -2 - Inept
Dexterity: 0 - Novice
Stamina: 10 - Adept
Stealth: 0 - Novice
Strength: -3 - Inept
Survival: 6 - Adept
Farming: 5 - Adept
Aura: 5 - Adept
Ability List:
Speak With Pokemon (Reflavored Telepathy) (Adept) (Cost: 4)
Novice: Speaking to a Pokemon is not easy, especially attempting to learn that particular species' sounds well enough to replicate to the point of actual communication. Novice Speakers sometimes still make mistakes, especially when speaking to new Pokemon.
Adept: With some experience, it becomes easier to form the sounds necessary to communicate with Pokemon. Adept Speakers can generally pick up on the right inflection and tone after listening to a Pokemon for a little while.
Expert: Nearly all Pokemon do not communicate purely by sound and this is something Expert Speakers begin to learn and translate. Body language is usually more important for Pokemon than verbal communication, but it is much more subtle and therefore more difficult to grasp. Experts can start to grasp this form of language, but do make mistakes and many simply choose to give up, relying only on verbal communication with Pokemon.
Master: Those with the willpower and determination to learn the body language of Pokemon are Master Speakers. They still use verbal communication in conjunction with the body language, though. No Master Speaker has gained the ability to only use their body, but they know the verbal and physical cues well enough to communicate nearly perfectly with most Pokemon.
Superhuman: Speaker is a bit of a misnomer at this stage. No longer does the Speaker with Pokemon require verbal communication, instead being able to gain and provide understanding by the subtle shifts and adjustments in their demeanor and movements. It is oftentimes still easier to communicate verbally and in relaxed situations, even a Superhuman Speaker will usually fall back to speech.

Other Notes
Nicknames: Peri, Ant, Marin but never Mari
Ant was so nicknamed at a young age because she's always been small. Her negative strength is derived from this. She has good work ethic, but there are some things her body just won't let her do.
The negative charisma, while seemingly contradictory to her personality results, are mainly because of her bluntness. There are some that can deal with it (especially those that know her) but she will not hold back most of her opinions and this rubs many the wrong way. She also suffers a little from "resting jerk face".
Myers-Briggs Personality: ESFP-A
Pokémon
Starter Option: #4 - Ondor Plains + Warden's Start random
OOC or IC?: Both OOC, please!
Diamonds To Be Spent?: None
