Personality
Valorie is a quirky megalomaniac of a girl with a penchant for beauty and showboating. She isn't a very modest person; she loves when her ego is stroked and puts a lot of weight into things like her appearance and others thoughts' of her. She is also a sore loser. This all stems back to how much weight she puts into the thoughts of others. Valorie is deeply motivated by a desire to earn the respect and admiration of her peers. She pushes herself hard and expects the same of her pokemon, following in the steps of legendary trainers by fighting alongside her pokemon rather than standing back and letting them do all of the work. While Valorie is 25 years old and full of 25 years worth of life experience she has not physically or mentally aged past the age of 14. This presents an odd duality where she is mature emotionally, but immature in most other ways. Valorie has a love-hate relationship with her immortality. On one hand, she's pretty happy with her body and not worrying about age-related health issues including death is a welcome concept. On the other--everything else.

Valorie is a rather affectionate individual, however, she doesn't like to be thought of as such and usually reacts with embarrassment if given affection in public. It also takes her time to warm up to someone before she will consider giving any affection of her own. Although she is quite competitive, this only extends to pokemon battles and beauty. When confronted with the possibility of physical harm to herself Valorie suffers from cowardice and she has a fairly low threshold for pain. She dreams of becoming the most renowned battling trainer in the world and of becoming a dragon master comparable to her idol, Lance.

Backstory
Born and raised in Iccirus City, Unova, Valorie obtained her first pokemon, Charmander, from her father at the tail end of a business trip in Kanto. She obtained her dratini as an egg from a mysterious dragon type specialistic whom did not have the time to raise her himself. She trained hard, but was unable to beat Iccirus City Gym. Distraught, she signed up for the Pokemon Trainer's Academy on Oak Island to better herself studying and training hard during her time there.

A couple of years later, after having left the academy to pursue her dreams, Valorie became involved in a massive 'gang war' between several criminal teams. She became involved with one of these teams, specifically a vigilante group dedicated to thwarting the other team's plans. During this time she succumbed to stealing pokemon from the rival trainers to bolster her numbers. She stole several pokemon, primarily from trainers of less than stellar morality. One fateful evenin Valorie was killed in battle, the cause of which being suffocation in the midst of a raging sandstorm. She was brought back from beyond the brink of death, however, by Cresselia, who she had played a pivotal role in freeing from one of the rival gangs that meant to use her as a weapon. Cresselia used all of her power to bring Valorie back, becoming one with Valorie in the process. This was done not just to save Valorie's life, but to keep her pokemon from going their separate ways. This is the point at which Valorie gained her immortality and other supernatural traits, trapping her at the age at which she died, 14.

After the war had ended Valorie resumed chasing her dreams, however, she was now burdened by the reality that she still wasn't strong enough to achieve them even after everything she had gone through. Valorie chased her dreams for years until she was "technically" an adult. At this point, she had to go through the trouble of getting an adult ID, which was only a problem because she had difficulty convincing anyone she wasn't trying to fake her age. After she became legally recognized as an adult she made the mistake of beginning to drink and developed a drinking problem, compounded by all of her self-loathing on account of her still having yet to achieve anything close to her original dreams. Valorie made the effort to quit drinking cold turkey, however, after her fighting spirit was revitalized.

Cresselia's Inheritance
Valorie absorbed what remained of Cresselia's soul after the legendary pokemon's death, inheriting a bit of her leftover power. The two souls are now one in the same body, sharing a symbiotic relationship.
  • Valorie is incapable of aging, even if forced by magical means.
  • A divine force, specifically Cresselia's, protects Valorie's soul from being stolen or harmed.
  • Valorie resists killing blows, meaning that she will miraculously manage to survive all but the most immediately fatal of blows.
  • Valorie occasionally demonstrates a split personality, the other personality, of course, being Cresselia's.
  • Valorie's dreams are often lucid and prophetic, occasionally even being relevant to her life.
  • Valorie's eyes glow with the colors of the northern lights shimmering beneath their surfaces. The glow is strong enough to dimly illuminate a couple of feet in front of her face. Anyone staring into Valorie's eyes will experience both a relaxing effect and a healing effect. The relaxing effect encourages a positive state of mind and helps one sleep. The healing effect can slowly heal most wounds and cure even the most persistent of diseases by supercharging the body's natural healing abilities. However, this effect does not work on Valorie herself.
  • Anti-Magic has no effect on the above abilities because they are fueled by Valorie's own power, rather than any latent power she could be disconnected from.

Amni's symbiosis
Valorie and Amni the Reuniclus share a powerful neurological bond
  • Valorie is capable of communicating through telepathy with Amni and vice versa, even over long distances.
  • Valorie is capable of reading Amni's emotions and vice versa, even over long distances. This includes the ability to perceive things like pain and other physical sensations.
  • Valorie and Amni can sense each other's life force well enough to always have an idea of where the other is, down to the direction.

Battle Pokemon
  • Dragonite ♀ (Power Level ≈ ??? / 100) [Moves = Hurricane, Twister, Dragon Claw, Superpower, Roost, Dragon Dance]
    Valorie's dragonite is giant, standing at 12'1'' and being over twice the weight of your average dragonite. It goes almost without saying that this has a significant effect on her abilities in combat. (Consider her effective base stats 100 HP / 165 Attack / 115 Defense / 110 Special Attack / 110 Special Defense / 70 Speed). She's actually a big baby however, viewing Valorie as her mother and being quite clingy. The other pokemon don't have the heart to correct her. She has the ability multiscale.
  • Haxorus ♀ (Power Level ≈ ??? / 100) [Moves = Outrage, Earthquake, Poison Jab, Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Guillotine]
    Haxorus is a hunter who becomes stir crazy when she isn't allowed to roam at least once a day. She refuses to eat normal food and compulsively seeks out challenging prey, particularly other females. She has the ability rivalry.
  • Charizard ♀ (Power Level ≈ 65 / 100) [Moves = Dragon Claw, Will-O-Wisp, Flare Blitz, Belly Drum, Mimic, Roost]
    Charizard is the angsty older sister of Valorie's team, having been starved for attention in favor of Valorie's other pokemon before she fully evolved. She has a fiery temper and is jealous of the attention Valorie's dragonite gets. In spite of this, she is also Valorie's wisest pokemon. Valorie has been attempting to get Charizard to Mega Evolve for years without success.
  • Rex the Tyrantrum ♂ (Power Level ≈ 65 / 100) [Moves = Crunch, Head Smash, Dragon Tail, Aerial Ace, Hone Claws, Rock Polish]
    Rex is a proud, grumpy old timer of a pokemon. Constantly living in the past, he thinks very highly of himself and looks down on pokemon who don't stack up to his impressive 9'2'' feet (2.794 meters) height. He does not like the idea that other pokemon are stronger than him and will frequently antagonize any pokemon that annoys him until they fight him. Rex is not a pokemon who learns his lesson and to that end Valorie has done her best to help him realize his dreams of being the most fearsome pokemon around. Rex is one of the pokemon Valorie stole as mentioned in her backstory.
  • Flygon ♀ (Power Level ≈ 65 / 100) [Moves = Outrage, Earthquake, U-Turn, Defog, Iron Tail, Earth Power]
    Flygon is an approval-seeking pokemon, having a somewhat dog-like disposition towards others. Nowhere is this more apparent than with her tendency to greet Valorie with friendly licks. She is one of Valorie's most loyal pokemon in the sense that she is the least likely to question any order she is given. Flygon has the ability 'sand stream' instead of levitate, meaning she can passively summon sandstorms during battle. Flygon is one of the pokemon Valorie stole as mentioned in her backstory.
  • Hydreigon ♀ (Power Level ≈ 65 / 100) [Moves = Draco Meteor, Dark Pulse, Tailwind, Earth Power, Flash Cannon, Taunt]
    Hydreigon is a voracious monster whose presence can only be described as... intense. She has a tendency to bite anything that isn't Valorie and has a very volatile disposition, so she isn't often let out of her ball around strangers unless her brutal nature is needed. Hydreigon is one of the pokemon Valorie stole as mentioned in her backstory.

Off-Hand Pokemon
  • Shu the Yamask ♂ (Power Level ≈ 20 / 100) [Moves = Night Shade, Telekinesis, Destiny Bond, Disable, Heal Block, Protect]
    Shu is an odd case of a telepathic yamask. He actually asked Valorie to protect him from having to fight and, in turn, lent her his psychic aid. He is very old, his life before undeath having predated modern society. While he rarely raises a hand to harm another, he occasionally helps others fight with a supporting role. Personality-wise, Shu is a very snarky individual. As a very old pokemon that used to be a human before his death, he often finds himself frustrated by modern culture.
  • Kiyoko the Zoruark ♂ (Power Level ≈ 55 / 100) [Moves = Detect, Double Team, Aura Sphere, Iron Defense, Night Daze, Snarl]
    Kiyoko is a pokemon anomaly, a zoroark filled with power of aura. This is a result of him being the subject of experimentation as a child. He's a rather reclusive pokemon, generally preferring not to be surrounded by others.
  • Gyarados ♂ (Power Level ≈ 35 / 100) [Moves = Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool, Dive]
    Gyarados' personality and quirks remain unrevealed, being a recent catch.
  • Doublade ♀ (Power Level ≈ 60 / 100) [Moves = Autotomize, Sacred Sword, Shadow Sneak, Swords Dance, Head Smash, Toxic]
    Originally caught as a consequence of Valorie foolhardily grabbing her hilt. However, when she did not die and Doublade, as a Honedge, would not let go of her in turn they grew to become partners.
  • Goodra ♀ (Power Level ≈ 60 / 100) [Moves = Infestation, Sludge Wave, Thunder, Rain Dance, Toxic, Double Team]
    Goodra is... not a very smart pokemon. Silly and energetic, she enjoys playing around more than she does battling.
  • Nathan the Rayquaza ♂ (Power Level ≈ 70 / 100) [Moves = Outrage, Dragon Pulse, Extremespeed, Hyper Beam]
  • Evrir the Zoroark ♀ (Power Level ≈ 81 / 100) [Moves = Night Daze, Hidden Power, Flamethrower, Calm Mind]
  • Belana the Lugia ♀ (Power Level ≈ 70 / 100) [Moves = Aeroblast, Recover, Psychic, Sky Attack]
  • Amni the Reuniclus ♂ (Power Level ≈ 77 / 100) [Moves = Acid Armor, Calm Mind, Psyshock, Focus Blast, Recover, Telekinesis]

Jennifer Harsdorff nodded and waved to the foreman. "Shut 'em down for the night. I've gotten enough noise complaints for one week." The steam whistle sounded with a giant WHOOSH, and all the machines slowly but surely came to a stop. The hustle and bustle of factory life was over for the day.

Valorie Ryder made her way into the gym in a somewhat shy manner, attempting to avoid drawing attention to herself. She had a half-cape wrapped around her body in true dragon fanatic style this time around, an old cape that seemed to have survived plenty of use, judging by the tears in it. ...Maybe it was /cold/ out? Regardless, she looked up at the gym's layout and studied it with her eyes for a moment. Jennifer might recognize those eyes. They weren't exactly normal. They had a very odd texture, and bestowed a very pleasant feeling on anyone who met her gaze directly... and believe me, she was looking right at Jennifer at this point. She had come searching, but did not immediately say anything. She wasn't sure what to say, and depression made her slow to take initiative.

Jennifer Harsdorff could feel it. When you were training for this long, and you locked eyes with someone else, you just knew what was on their mind. "Relax, guys, this isn't a challenger, though she's a trainer," she shouted before taking the chute from her perch down to the receiving area, a feature most of the higher-ranking Gyms were permitted given the complexity of the puzzles. Landing lightly on her work boots, that being a relative term, she CLANGED against the diamond plate and turned to Valorie. "What's up? Something wrong?"

Valorie Ryder listened to what Jennifer had to say. She was almost disappointed that she assumed Valorie would not challenge her. Luckily, her pride was in no position to complain. She actually smiled at Jenifer for a brief moment, though it was more of a courtesy than any indication of happiness, and rapidly faded off her face as she averted her eyes from the other to shake her head no. "You asked me to come visit you sometime." she stated simply. In all honesty, she didn't know what had drawn her back here as opposed to a bar to escape the cold night air.

Jennifer Harsdorff chuckled a little bit. "That I did, didn't I. Heh. You look like you still got those same demons I saw on you the other day. Nice cape, though. Now come in already, it's cold out there, I know how you dragon users don't like the cold!" Without warning, she put a hand over Valorie's shoulders and showed her into the main puzzle room before shutting the door behind the duo.

"Level with me. There's something on your mind, and keeping it to yourself isn't doing you any favors."

Valorie Ryder flinched when Jennifer placed a hand on her as if expecting to be put in a headlock. Oh god. Oh god human contact. She didn't know how to react to this, so she just sort of froze up for a moment, looking up to meet Jennifer's eyes as if to question her. It took her a moment to speak, but when she did it was in exactly the tone you'd expect. "I don't know—...It's... It's a long story." she said, hesitating a moment before adding in hastily. "You wouldn't believe it."

Jennifer Harsdorff sighed. "Kid, I didn't believe that my best friend from college was raped by a Pokemon, either. I don't care whether or not I'll believe it. I just want you to get it off of your chest."

Valorie Ryder just sort of stared up at Jennifer when she mentioned that one of her friends from... college was raped by a pokemon. R-Really Jennifer? that's how you talk to little girls? The hell... Luckily, this one was slightly more prepared to deal with that sort of bombshell than the average 14 year old. It took her a moment though, after which she averted her gaze. How did she... even begin to explain this? "I've... been training since I was 13." she explained. Perhaps Jennifer would notice something strange about this statement right away, considering Valorie's strength and relative appearance. "For almost 12 years..." she continued. Ironically, this was the easiest thing for her to admit to the other girl, due to lingering remnants of her pride.

Jennifer Harsdorff was totally unfazed. "You're 25? You don't look it. Maybe you're just one of those petite women," she reasoned, shrugging. "There's more, isn't there? I can see it in your eyes." Those eyes. They really were the windows to the soul. "It's not just that your friends are bigger, bustier and get all the guys..."

Valorie Ryder just sort of emitted a rather pathetic whine as Jennifer confronted her, averting her eyes further. Oh... oh thanks for reminding me that I'm not sizable for a 24-25 year old Jennifer. I like to think I'm beautiful too, y'know! The slight rolled of her shoulders though, as despite the fact that the truth hurt quite a bit it wasn't the thing she dreaded to hear most. Besides, she lacked the spirit to fight back, even as the words burned her. It was comforting knowing that she could count on the other female not to spread rumors, though. "N—No... I—...I haven't aged a day." she went on to explain in her non-scientific words.

Jennifer Harsdorff picked at something in her ear. "I'm sorry, repeat that?" she inquired as she took out the ear plugs. "Something about you not aging a day from being thirteen?" She wanted to believe this girl, as she had no reason to be lying that she knew of, but damn, that was just too incredible.

"Maybe it's hormonal? Believe me, I want to believe you, but that's just--out there."

Valorie Ryder /me shivered, as if feeling the remnants of a cold breeze. "...Fourteen, actually." she clarified, correcting herself. She would not meet Jennifer's eyes despite how sure she was in her words. What was she afraid of? "...I... died in a sandstorm during a pokemon battle." she stated, deliberately leaving out the surrounding details. "...I couldn't breathe." she went on to explain. Her tone showed that she was slightly bothered by the memory by the mild emotion that leaked into it. Could you blame her though? Choking to death on sand didn't sound pleasant.

Jennifer Harsdorff stopped and fell on her butt, then looked at her hand with a horrified expression. The hand that had touched...a ghost? No. Ghosts didn't feel this real, nor could they be Trainers. "S-so...y-y-you're a g-g-g-g-...a phantom?" She wanted to run away, but at the same time frozen with abject terror. It wasn't that she was afraid of the things, it's just that they were inherently unsettling.

Valorie Ryder seemed mildly shocked as Jennifer... fell back! This didn't seem to faze her a great deal, though it saddened her to see the other girl frightened by her. She was immediately tempted to deny the claim, but on the other hand... "...I don't really know what I am anymore." she answered in an exhausted tone, glancing at one of her hands, which still held as much youth as the day she had died. "I... I remember pain... and darkness. I couldn't see or... hear or...—I couldn't do anything really, but I remember feeling as if I were... floating somehow." she went on to explain. "But... then I felt like I was falling." she continued, shaking her head. "A pokemon brought me back... and I've been like this ever since." she finished, holding up her hands briefl before ever so shyly crouching down and offering one to Jennifer.

Jennifer Harsdorff took the offered hand. Yeah. Felt real enough. As did the shoulder. She put her other hand behind her and gingerly got back up, though her knees were still shaking like leaves. "Oh, you poor thing..." And just like that, without even thinking, she went in and hugged the seeming ghost. Maybe showing compassion would help her spirit move on. Or something.

Dammit, where was a Silph Scope when you needed one?

Valorie Ryder flinched again. This time a nice blush came to her face as she was embraced by the other. It had been.... a long, long time since she had gotten a proper hug like this. Jennifer would feel her shiver, and she proceeded to ever so gently hug Jennifer back. In all frankness, she was speechless. She could not /cope/ with how amazing that hug had felt. It reminded her of her mother, in a way, and that wasn't just a joke about how short Valorie was. A rather meek noise escaped her lips, but nothing else. "..."

Jennifer Harsdorff felt better as the hug was reciprocated. "Eh. I knew you weren't really a ghost," she fibbed. "A ghost wouldn't be able to get in touch with dragon-types the way you do. The battle we had...if you had your head together, you would have destroyed me. The strength of a Pokemon is a reflection of their Trainer's strength, after all." Jennifer added in a back rub to warm up the younger body.

"I've got a hideaway bed in my apartment if you wanna crash for the night. It's cold out there." Seriously, coming back from the dead? That had to royally suck on the way down.

Valorie Ryder wasn't cold like a corpse anyway. She seemed lively enough! Walking through walls had never gone well for her anyway. She decidedly didn't explain the rest, mostly because she was too distracted by this... affection. After a few moments or two passed she seemed to get really into the hug and just allowed her weight, as little as it was, to lean completely against Jennifer in an affectionate manner. Uh-oh, Jennifer! Guess who just got clingy! Run for your life! In all seriousness though, this actually seemed to make her happy, if only for the moment being. After a moment though she returned to reality enough to realize that Jennifer deserved a response. "You're sure..? The pokemon center's not that bad..." she continued in a highly modest tone, perhaps not wanting to be a burden.

"All right, Val, it's quitting time for you. You couldn't lift another pallet even if you tried," Jennifer shouted down harshly--though to her ears it was probably a massive relief. "The rest of you, finish moving her stuff and take a break, I gotta check on her." Jennifer took the ladder down and walked over to the new worker.

"If you need a hand over to the rest area, I'm here, Valorie."
