I apologize in advanced for my rambling app, and general comma abuse.
Application
The Basics:
Nation: Monaco
Name of Character: Grace Blum
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Other features: Grace is of average height, and is of average, if more delicate build. She never does any form of hard labour, and it pretty much shows. She prides herself in looking proper, so every morning involves a precise routine in sorting everything out. Her posture is good, as slumping doesn’t create a good impression, does it?
Large picture here!
Character Background:
Personality: To most people, Grace first and foremost comes off as a snob. She likes, and is used to, ‘nice’ (read: expensive) things, such as designer handbags, glittering jewellery and yacht ownership. Thus, she may be quick to dismiss someone if they are without these things and can quite easily do this without even speaking to the person in question. She’ll warm up to most people eventually though, as once you get past the colder exterior, Grace is rather hospitable.
She is proud, however, and insulting her or her family is a very easy way to ensure a cold shoulder. And the inversely, complimenting her will happily ensure you a place in her good books.
As well as expensive things, she also has a passion for more traditional things such as ballet, and an unfortunate gambling habit. Grace usually goes at a rather leisurely pace, enjoying the finer things of life and indulging these passions as she goes. She also loves trying new things, no matter how insane they look.
Town/City of origin: Oroya
Background: Grace was raised surrounded by family in a rich section of Oroya. Her family was well off, unsurprisingly as their casino and hotel business matched perfectly with the towns touristic tendencies. As the next heir to the business, she was raised to cater to the guests, particularly the ones willing to spend a lot of money. This, and as well as being an only child, certainly had its perks, she had met (and acquired vast sums of money from) celebrities, and was generally spoilt rotten.
However, while Grace enjoyed this immensely, she found herself bored. She felt rather isolated and different from the younger people in the town, apart from the occasional stay with (not entirely sure of the connection, just yet xD) Francis’s. And that was always terribly awkward.
Fortunately, she did find a friend in a Meowth that insisted in hanging around the hotel, picking up the loose scraps underneath the tables. Originally, she shooed it. That clearly didn’t work, as it was always there the next day. Next, she tried feeding it herself, to keep it away from the guests. This actually worked, and it wasn’t long before Grace found it every morning, waiting for her.
Regardless of her new friend, who had taken to following her around, Grace still had to accept she was stuck in a rut. She had everything she needed, and was fine with her planned out future; the only thing that bothered her was what to do until then. She couldn’t really just up and leave, like many of the people in town seemed to be doing, but then an idea struck her.
If she left, she could also function as a walking advertisement for the town and hotel business. But it would only work if she obtained some fame, through being a trainer or a co-ordinator. Grace was sure she could do at least one of those, and heads out away from home with these intentions, and the Meowth whom she nicknamed Monte.
Relations with other characters:
France: (It’d be nice to discuss this before I write down too much. >_>) A relative/family friend/etc of Grace, she’s stayed with his family on several separate occasions. She shares quite a bit in common with him.
Starter Pokemon:
Species: Meowth
Name: Monte
Gender: Male
Level:
Ability: Pickup
Other: Attacks; Scratch, Bite, Growl, Fake Out
Monte is loyal to Grace, seeing as she can provide food and attention, and also has a nice collection of shiny round things. Also, he enjoys actual affection, rather than tourists who would usually feed him then leave. His Pickup ability was always rather useful when he never had a home or a trainer, but now he mostly uses it to pick up random or shiny things.
The rest:
Anything else you'd like to add: Well, since she is essentially just a character design, I tried to base a personality on what I know of the country. Hopefully I haven’t screwed up that badly. If I have, could you please say? I’d rather you point it out once, rather than embarrass myself and find out a month later. Also the name, I am soo creative, right?
I’ll need to talk character relations over with folk, but after doing a wee bit of research, I’m pretty sure I could historically add Italy, Spain, or even Rome. D:
