[attr="class","puppy"] [attr="class","puppy2"] [attr="class","puppy3"]personality [attr="class","puppy4"]Most people would describe Shizuka as a more quiet girl than others, even for her age. Her social skills could always use some work, and she often keeps her thoughts and opinions to herself unless provoked. She often gets the label "shy" which she is never pleased to hear. Despite her silence, Shizuka has a lot of opinion trapped up there in her mind. She only is unable to wield the hammer to break down the walls around her mind and expose her inner thoughts. But there is much more color to Shizuka's personality than that. A lot of adjectives could describe her: kind, polite, caring, thoughtful, determined, strong willed, curious, intelligent, wise - and intelligent as in, she knows a lot of things, wise as in, she's a pretty level headed person - humble, patient, competitive, proud, stubborn... Shizuka will hold grudges against people forever if nothing is done to right the wrong. Lucy is a very patient person with her friends. Her great levels of patience, loyalty and perseverance are almost at a masochistic level. Shizuka has a low self esteem, so she is often trying to boost her ego by showing off. In pokemon battles, Shizuka is merciless on all of her opponents, and though she would never try to hurt them, she might come off as sadistic to her foes. Shizuka's masochistic in that she tends to believe that it's good for her to endure pain, hardships, and the stress of being wronged. She's willing to endure all kinds of things for a greater goal such as strengthening the bonds of friendship by proving her loyalty. Shizuka's sadistic in that she absolutely loves to win to boost her ego up. Shizuka is very proud in this area of her personality. In pokemon battles, Shizuka loves winning hard and beating her enemies hard with her pokemon team. While she hates to lose, she never shows it. She is also brave, strong-willed, and very reckless. Shizuka will make her decisions in a tight spot within seconds, sometimes skimming over the details of her decisions in games. Her bravery and masochistic nature go along with her reckless nature. She'll eagerly dive head-first into danger, even if Shizuka knows that the chances of getting hurt are pretty high. But she's not foolish either, at least not foolish most of the time. She won't do something as stupid as jumping into a volcano, but in spars and combat, Shizuka isn't afraid to put herself in a bit of pain to win. But when the task at hand is serious, Shizuka takes no chances with any of her friends and comrade's lives, becoming as cautious as can be. Shizuka doesn't trust luck either and prefers to not use Pokemon Attack moves with accuracy under 90. Even though she distrusts luck, Shizuka believes in fate and destiny, and that following your destiny is the best way to go. She is protective of her friends and imagines herself as their protector sometimes. She is also very detail-oriented, a quick thinker, yet slow to pick up on others' emotions, feelings, jokes and riddles, though riddles still fascinate her. Shizuka is very bad at reading sarcasm, making her terrible with jokes and riddles even though she still really likes them. She is a deep thinker, but she is also very over-reactive, trained to instinctively be ready to defend herself from danger at anytime. the problem is that she's over reactive, and even among friends and allies, she flinches at quick movement in her direction. Her jumpy nature has helped her avoid possible collisions and such. But she still does not pick up on others' emotions very well. She can seem completely calm and peaceful when everyone else is panicking about a storm or invasion. Shizuka is very dependent on others' opinions and approval of her decisions on a mission. She doesn't trust her own knowledge of even her own culture, due to her lack of social skills, and relies on others' knowledge to be sure of her own decisions. But when it comes to her own beliefs, her own schedule, and every other time that she is alone, Lucy is quite independent, able to take care of herself very well. Though she fears disapproval from others of higher rank, she loves dragon-like pokemon, cats and dogs, and drawing them very much, and she is willing to stand up for what she believes is right, even if it doesn't go along with the normal cultural tastes.

[attr="class","puppy"] [attr="class","puppy2"] [attr="class","puppy3"]history [attr="class","puppy4"] I was actually born in the Sinnoh region. From what my ninetales gijinka mother told me, she had fallen in love with a human, and had disguised herself with the illusion of a non-gijinka human to get his attention. Before she knew it, she was pregnant with me, and had to lie to him about a reason for leaving him forever. It's a really sad story. I didn't understand the meaning behind it when she first told me, but remembering it now sometimes makes me want to cry. I can't imagine the pain she had to go through. I lived with my mother in an abandoned shrine up on a mountain as a young vulpix gijinka. At first I was raised away from human society, but my curious nature could not be ignored either. I wanted to get out and make friends, and do the things that humans were doing. I wanted to go on a journey, but I kept this wish of mine a secret, since I wondered, how could a gijinka possibly train pokemon, and challenge the league like normal human trainers did? As soon as I was strong enough to defend myself from other wild pokemon that might want to hurt me, my mother began letting me become a lot more independent. I was eight years old. I was still a bit immature, and had much to learn. Once I was in my preteens, I became a lot more independent, to the point where I was out exploring around more often that visiting my home and my mother. My curiosity led me to want to get stronger, and just off the wild pokemon in the area, I trained to get stronger. Eventually, I was old enough to leave home completely, and go on my own journey. Not yet to train pokemon, but just to become totally independent. From the start, my mother had taught me how to use my illusion powers as a vulpix gijinka to look either like a vulpix or a pure human, but for the first time, I used them to look like a non-gijinka human. I was about fourteen years old at this time that I began my journey in the world of pokemon and pokemon trainers. Getting adjusted to everything was hard as could be. I was raised as an intelligent animal. There were a lot of awkward moments; more than each hair on my tails. What? Details!? I can't remember all of them, but if you insist, well... one time was where someone stopped and stared at me eating spaghetti with a spoon. Other times were when I learned the hard way about manners and things like that in today's culture. I learned everything the hard way. -sigh- How my mother was living in the Sinnoh region, or even how I found a shiny charizard on Mt. Coronet, I've never understood. On my journey, I recklessly made it a goal to go to Mt. Coronet, and find out what was on the other side. It was a bad idea at the time, but it was a part of my story that I don't regret. The journey was just as dangerous for me as anyone else. Even though my Ember attack could take care of the ice pokemon, I was nearly knocked out by all of the rock and ground types. I actually did eventually lose a battle to a Graveler, and nearly died on that mountain. I honestly have no clue where that shiny Charizard came from, but that is how I was rescued. Neji found me, a knocked out Vulpix gijinka lying in the snow and with only hours left to live. I don't really understand why he rescued me either. Most charizards are usually more focused on fighting all the other pokemon and proving their strength, but Neji says he couldn't just leave such a young vulpix person to die, and that I was, obviously, different than all the other weak pokemon that he used to ignore. Gijinkas were rare even back then. Very few even knew they even existed before this thing called "PH Genetics" came up. In Lyeant nowadays however, Gijinkas are a lot more common, but the majority of the new gijinka population consist of those disfigured by PH Genetics, while the real gijinkas, the born-ones, are still as rare as shiny pokemon. Getting back to my story with Neji the Charizard... Being knocked out, my illusion as a vulpix was completely undone, and my secrets were revealed to all. Being in Mt. Coronet, I was lucky that the chances for me being seen by a human were little to none. Even hikers were hard to come by when traveling straight over the most dangerous parts of Mt. Coronet. Neji started a bonfire to keep me warm, then shielded me from the blizzard and wings with his body, and I recovered. I actually didn't name Neji when he joined my party. You see, being a Vulpix gijinka, I can speak to pokemon, and he told me his name. Our relationship since has never been that of a trainer and pokemon, but more like close friends who protected each other, with Neji being more the leader at the time. I felt really bad to treat him like my pokemon, and was hesitant to put him in a pokeball, but Neji insisted, wanting to be able to protect me if ever I should need it, and so, after buying my very first pokeball, let Neji join my team as my very first pokemon. With Neji using Fly, we journeyed around Sinnoh and even tried challenging a Gym leader. The challenge didn't go well at all. Neji was plenty confident in his power, and it was his idea to battle when I met Volkner at Sunnyshore city, but even Neji's impressive power eventually succumbed to Volkner's electric attacks. It was Neji's first loss since he was a charmeleon, and my first loss as a trainer, and a huge blow to his pride. I don't know how long it took, but it felt like forever until Neji finally recovered from that. That loss didn't stop us from continuing to get stronger. I captured my very first pokemon, a female Starly named Evarin, and trained it together with Neji; we all trained together to get stronger. When among humans, I took on a disguise as a human, and when training in the wild against wild pokemon, I took on the disguise of a vulpix. Wild pokemon learned to stay far away from the pokemon team of a charizard, vulpix, and Staravia. My time, however, in Sinnoh, was not nearly as long as my time in Lyeant. My recklessness which led to me being spotted by humans with my moving, living vulpix ears and tails was an event that I do not regret either. Me and Neji were battling some Pokemon scientists that we met in Sunnyshore City, a place that we tended to hang out at a lot, because they were interested in seeing if a shiny pokemon was stronger than a normal pokemon. Right from the get-go, Neji began pulverizing the scientists' team of Magnezone pokemon with his fiery attacks. Not wanting to lose either, the scientists began drugging their Magnezone pokemon with X Special, Dire Hit's, X Sp. Def's, and X Defense's, and before me and Neji knew it, the Magnezone was overpowering us. Really, the battle was far from fair. The scientists had several bottles of each drug. But the haywire started when the Magnezone aimed a Zap Canon at Neji, missing, and hitting me. The attack knocked me clean out, and my illusion was shattered. Then the mad chase began. Those persistent scientists had to find out how I had grown Vulpix ears and tail. Neji immediately grabbed me and we began to flee, but that seemed only to fuel the scientists' curiosities. They screamed for Neji to stop, then had their Magnezones start discharging at Neji. Even already terribly injured from the electric attacks, Neji somehow had the determination to fly me from the danger as fast as possible. Even when the scientists began pursuit, they were no match for the Neji's speed. He took me all the way to Lake Valor where he revived me with one of the revives I had saved money for in my bag, but in less than an hour, we found out that the scientists were already searching for us in Lake Valor, and continued our desperate escape. Thinking back on it, I'm really touched that Neji tried so hard for me. He had only about thirty percent of his full health at that time, and didn't even grab a Hyper potion for himself during that whole ordeal, and saying he was just fine whenever I asked. The chase sent the two of us all across Sinnoh, even until we were staring east from Lake Verity. Even then, the scientists would not give up their discovery. My whole life was at stake, and she was being chased around her home region at the risk of becoming a lab rat. That was when Neji and I decided to leave Sinnoh behind for whatever could be waiting for us west of Sinnoh. We did not even know nor could guarantee that there was even another region out west, but anywhere was safer than Sinnoh at that time. I knew I would miss the place where I was born and raised, but I also was brave enough to take on the challenge with my loyal charizard partner. We flew for many hours, and Neji had to land in the water several times to rest, using the fire in his belly to keep him and me afloat upon the waves. We really didn't care where the waves took us, but whenever Neji took to the air, we aimed west, away from Sinnoh. Even Neji's immense stamina combined with the longer breaks we took just drifting upon the waves was too exhausting for either of us. We were both fire types, and hated water, and being surrounded for miles in all directions with water, as well as all possibilities for water pokemon to show up at any time was very nerve-racking for me at least. Neji was always looking confident as could be. Evarin the Staraptor also didn't do well in the strong ocean breeze. We were all saved from total helplessness when a Magikarp appeared out of curiosity, wondering why two fire type pokemon, a charizard, and a vulpix, were out this far into the ocean, for I was using a Vulpix illusion to the wild pokemon. I caught it, and the journey from there was much easier, despite the fact that the Magikarp whom I named Otohime, wasn't the strongest swimmer. But Neji got the rest he so desperately needed within the pokeball, and Otohime evolved into a Gyarados, so we all continued our journey west, faster now that we were using a capable water pokemon experienced in oceanic travel. But even still, my hopes for finding a new place to live were lessor by the day. This sea-journey took almost three days of hard, relentless travel, one and a half long day with only Neji and Evarin, and one speedy fast day with Gyarados. We were all ready to give up, until on the distant horizon just above the sea level, I saw Wingulls. Wingulls were sea bird pokemon, but even they always stayed close to shore, close to the place where they were born and raised, and where they would raise new offspring. The Wingull led us to land, which me and the team had never before longed for so much. This was how I got to the Lyeant region. From there, we explored around carefully, finding that the region was fairly new, at least to humans. To wrap things up, since this is beginning to take a while, I met Sora here. I also caught several pokemon. You know Team Imum? Well, like most other trainers living in Lyeant at the time, I fought them myself. I even faced off against the team's leader, Lorelei, even though I lost, and somehow managed to escape before my team was totaled. I got stronger, and with my close friend, Sora, we fought off Team Imum with every other trainer in Lyeant. Since all that drama and excitement, I never really got the time, since the day we met, to talk to Sora a very much at all. I haven't seen him in nearly five years and have no idea what became of him... Anyway, there was a political war in Lyeant eventually among the parties, and I took part in it, fighting for the Besser party, but in the end, I discovered the horrifying truth that both parties were as corrupted and meaningless as could be. Everything shattered, and the admin of Besser, former leader of the horrible forgotten Team Imum, was once again nowhere to be seen. Nowadays what's plaguing the land are the weird groups of genetically engineered gijinkas, and it's becoming harder and harder to deal with people.
