Bio: Gypsy was one of the few pokemon lucky enough to be hve been born on the island and on top of that, she was born a shiny. She has always had exceptional good luck, even when she was growing up on the island, finding all sorts of shiny and rare objects. She started a colection of these objects but she would get bored with them quickly and often trade her older items with her friends for never ones. As she got older she got tired of seeing the same scenery every day and she got the urge to travel. Her family and friends begged her to stay, they didn't believe she would be able to find her way back to the island if she left but she didn't listen. She did however make a very detailed map when she left. She left the island by boat and every day that she sailed she kept an accurate log of her distance from the island. As she has continued her travels she has kept updating the map, making new routes to the island from different places around the world. The map is her most treasured possession, since it is her only one and she keeps it close at all times. She travels alone and would never dream of bringing anyone back to the island with her although many have tried to follow her.
Home region: She was born and raised on the island
Personality: Essie is a very curios Pokemon, she always has been. Most people assume it's because she is a Purrloin and Purrloins have a penchant for stealing anything they find interesting but Essie isn't interested in stealing the things that pique her curiosity,well maybe a little, she just wants to hold on to them for a while and then share them with others. This is why she opened her shop, she is able to collect and study the things that interest her and then sell them to others that are interested in them. She isn't ready to evolve yet and so she carries an everstone with her at all times. She loves spicy berries, her favorite being the Liechi berry.
