Physical Description: Junko has pitch black hair. There are no other colors present, at least not to the naked eye. With a trained eye, you will notice subtle hints of medium brown highlighting her hair. She takes extreme care of her hair and as a result, it has a lustrous shine and healthy glow to it. Although she takes care of her hair, she doesn't style it often and prefers to leave it down. It falls down to her waist in soft waves, settling nicely on her hips. When she does style it, it is often held in two pigtails tied with red ribbons. Often times she will pull it up so that it hangs on one side of her face, initially the left side. When she doesn't want to style it, nor leave it down, she'll throw it up in a quick ponytail. Her bangs are cut so that they fall from the tip of her eyelids to the bottom of her chin. They frame her face nicely, accenting the roundness of it. She wouldn't be considered a short girl, standing roughly five foot six inches tall. With her stature, she can almost appear intimidating, especially with her eyes. She weighs in at a healthy one hundred and thirty pounds, most of the weight coming from muscle. She isn't bulging with muscle though.
She has a rather willowy frame. She doesn't have many curves and doesn't have a big bust. She is rather fragile in appearance despite owning muscle. Her legs are not very thick and all around, her body could be compared to an athlete's physique. Her legs, however, are long, giving her a taller appearance. She has good balance in her core and is extremely flexible due to her build. Her complexion is rather pale in color. Despite being in the sun often, she doesn't tan fairly easily. She does have light coloring, mainly to her cheeks, giving a natural blush. She doesn't have the time to bother with make-up. Her lips are probably the only thing she'll color, and usually it's with naked colors. She doesn't want to look like a clown with all the make-up piled onto her face. Her eyes are a rather interesting color. They are a deep crimson color, almost appearing an auburn color. The red color appears lighter around the pupil, giving it a lustrous glow to them. They are accented by thin eyebrows that curve slightly in the middle, giving her a mischievous look.
Potential Interest: Not applicable. Will update later.
Skills and Abilities: As a Pokémon breeder, she is an excellent cook...for her Pokémon. She can make a meal out of any type of berry or ingredient she comes across. Her nose is extremely sensitive, allowing her to determine if anything is wrong with a dish or if it needs more ingredients. Her memory is unprecedented. She can remember anything down to the last detail. This can be something that happened yesterday, or something that took place over five years ago and older. She is extremely agile, able to avoid anything that is thrown her way: literally and figuratively.
Other: Junko has a rather flattering tattoo of a Magikarp on the inside of her left hip. If one were to guess, she would say it is Setia from when she first met her. In reality, she wants to always remember her first Pokémon before the evolution. Plus she seems to have developed a soft spot for Magikarp. She is a bit of a frugal person and has saved quite a bit of money in doing so. She will, however, splurge from time to time on the well-fare of her Pokémon rather than herself.
Personality: Junko has a rather interesting personality. She isn't an overly hyperactive person, but when she is on a sugar high, she has no respect for anything or anyone. She tends to be a blabber mouth, often saying things she ought not to and getting herself into predicaments that would usually embarrass most people. She has no shame as some have said and she will flaunt everything and everyone. She doesn't take advantage of people, however, and really just loves to be around people. Because she is starved of human affection, she often cannot control her mouth and will usually insult someone or state something rather bluntly. also, if you spilled a secret to her, more than likely half of the population will already know what it is. She tends to get into trouble easily, which isn't surprising at all really because of her blunt tendencies. She is a headstrong woman, often trying to make sure she is capable of handling herself and being on her own rather than relying on someone. She doesn't take to being helped very kindly because she feels she is being suffocated. Altough she will readily lend a helping hand, receiving help is on a whole different level for her. Not that she'll outright reject a helping hand, and on more than ocassion, she could use it.
Despite this quality, Junko is a friendly person. She enjoys being around people and is a free-spirited woman. She can take a hit, literally, just as well as any man and isn't afraid to get rough should she need to. She doesn't have violent tendencies, however; she can have a bit of a temper if provoked. There are only a handful of people who have suffered her wrath, and have never provoked her since. She is an intelligent child, figuring things out within a matter of minutes that usually take hours for others to figure out. She isn't a genius by no means, but she isn't exactly incompetent. Although she may seem like an out-going type of person, she has her times when she can revert to a withdrawn state and become extremely shy. This is usually caused when she is under a lot of stress or when she meets someone for the first time and takes an immediately liking to them. It isn't a head-over-heels kind of attraction and it doesn't last long, usually only a few hours after meeting. When she is interested in someone, she tends to hide that fact and will usually just try to act as normal around her interest as possible. She is really a nice person deep down and has odd tendencies from time to time.
History: Junko was the second born to Hiroshi and Jun Takashi. As a child, she spent most of her time under th wing of her older brother, often trailing behind him like a lost puppy. She loved her brother dearly and never left his side. Of course, people whispered that it was an unhealthy attachment, but since she was just a child, she would grow out of it. when she was growing up, Junko was always considered an odd ball, ignoring the other children in her town. Because of this, she was often teased as a child whenever she went to school. She always kept to herself and endured the onslaught of name callings and shoved gum in her hair.
This never strained her personality and she remained a sweet child. On her seventh birthday, she received her first Pokémon from her brother. It was a Magikarp. At first, she that it was a cruel joke. Why would her brother give her such a useless thing? when he spoke of how the Magikarp reminded him so much of her, she reluctantly accepted it as her own. By the time she reached ten years of age, she receieved her very own Pokédex. Ecstatic would be an understatement for the way Junko felt that day. She was going to be the best Pokémon trainer and surpass her brother one day. She left to challenge Gym leaders across the Kanto region an soon found herself facing off against the Elite four. Of course she only had four Pokémon at the time, she still managed to fight her way to the second Elitist before succumbing to defeat. For two years, she trained to become stronger so that she wouldn't fail again, however; an accident with Harag caused her to change her ways.
Instead, she opted to learn the ways of becoming a breeder. By the time she was sixteen, she knew mostly all the basics of handling Pokémon. As a breeder, she opened her own day care facility, taking care of other trainers Pokémon when they could no longer do so or if they wanted to make room in their party without having to have their Pokémon sent through a PC. She worked for two more years until she received a letter, informing her of her brother's disappearance. As of now, she has left the daycare in the hands of her senior helper and is traveling the world in search of her brother, starting in their home town of Cerulean City.
"Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pokémon Species: Gyarados ♀
Pokémon Nickname: Setia [Loyal]
Pokémon Nature: Lonely
History:
Magikarp: Setia was Junko's first Pokémon and her starter. Junko received the Magikarp from her brother as a present for her seventh birthday. Initially, Junko was upset at owning such a Pokémon. She complained to her brother about it and he only smiled at her. He told her that, just because Magikarp are seemingly weak, with enough care and love, they could become magnificient creatures. He wanted to entrust Magikarp to her because he thought they were alike in so many ways. They were both misunderstood creatures. Junko eventually warmed up to the idea of owning a Magikarp as her first and would often visit her in the pond. Junko had begged her father to place a pond in their backyard so that Magikarp wouldn't have to say inside of her Pokéball all the time. It wasn't until Junko was older that she noticed the odd coloring of Magikarp. She didn't think anything of it and thought that it was just a thing for Magikarps. As she grew older, Magikarp had becoming inreasingly attached to Junko and would often splash happily in her pond when Junko came home from school. By the time Junko came of age, Magikarp and she were inseparable. Although the only move Setia knew was splash, she was determined to be the best. There were a few battles that had Junko worried about Magikarp, in particular against Lt. Surge from Vermillion City. Because he had a type advantage over Setia, he nearly caused massive damage to the poor carp Pokémon.
Gyarados: Setia evolved during the final battle with Viridian Gym Leader. He had mocked Setia and Junko for battling with such a 'weak' Pokémon and nearly wiped the floor with her. In her last ditch effort, Setia evolved into Gyarados. She eventually won the battle and earned Junko the rainbow badge. Because of Gyarados' reputation, Junko was hesitant at first to use Setia in battle again, afraid that she'd ignore her commands. This strained Setia and Junko's relationship a bit to the point where Setia would pop out of her Pokéball and cause trouble for Junko. It was only when she was in the Johto region battling against a wild Tentacruel, that Setia and Junko rectified their friendship. The Tentacruel had attacked Junko, severly injuring her in the process and caused Setia to go into a rage. She destroyed most of the area she and Junko had been in and nearly destroyed a city. As Gyarados were known to be that destructive, Junko tried her best soothe Setia. When she finally managed to calm her, Junko smiled at Setia and thanked her. Setia is currently Junko's most powerful Pokémon and is her current mode of transportation when she needs to cross the ocean's.

Pokémon Species: Rapidash ♀
Pokémon Nickname: Fiamma [Flame]
Pokémon Nature: Brave
History:
Ponyta: Junko met Fiamma on a Ranch. Although a wild Pokémon, Junko immediately fell in love with her and wanted her for her own. She battled the Ponyta with Setia as a Magikarp, and surprisingly lost a few times. This made her more determined to capture the creature and battled with it for days. Finally, she managed to weaken Ponyta long enough to capture her. At first, the two didn't see eye to eye and were constantly fighting. Ponyta would often burn Junko if she tried to ride her, or even get near her for that matter. It took a solid three months before Ponyta began to open up to Junko and another four months before she stopped burning her.

Pokémon Nickname: Kovaa [Fierce]
Pokémon Nature: Quiet
History:
Axew: Kovaa was an accidental capture. Junko had traveled to the Mistralton Cave and had trippped over the poor creature, literally. Startled, Kovaa had attacked Junko and ran away. Junko had never seen such a Pokémon before and ran after him. She eventually found him deep within the cave, and after a few Boldore accidents and being chased by Woobats, Junko managed to battle the small Dragon Pokémon and captured him. Over the course of three months, Junko tried to battle with Kovaa but found that he was a bit reserved and didn't like battling as often. Instead, Junko used Kovaa as a training partner. She'd often challenge him to small things, like a test of strength (even though he'd win) or just a staring contest. Kovaa eventually found his calling when Junko challenged Drayden. Even though Kovaa wasn't an evolved Pokémon, he managed to hold his own for the first round before succumbing to Drayden's Haxorus. Kovaa grew fond of what he could eventually become and started training hard. Junko became concerned for Kovaa as he had become obsessed with his training. It took a firm Ice Beam from Setia in order to snap Kovaa out of his stupor and he calmed down. He took it a bit easier with his training, and it wasn't long before he reached his first stage of evolution.
Fraxure: Kovaa evolved not in a typical way. He wasn't in a battle against a trainer or anything, but more of a it was his time. After months of training, Kovaa had finally reached a level to where he was ready to evolve. This was a time period Junko enjoyed. He had become rather docile and liked to hang around Junko's shoulders. Even though he weighed in at eighty pounds, it didn't deter him the slightlest.
