❝ Beyond The Disguise ❞




Image
APPEARANCE
“I love all kinds of beauty. Then again... MY definition of beauty may be a little... skewed. Hehehe."


Basic Appearance;;
Tilly's wide face holds a sparkle and a shy grin that causes her to look a little younger than she is-- and a little more mischievous. She has waves of messy brown hair that she throws up into an out-of-control updo, not really caring about how it looks. She often looks like she has just rolled out of bed, with eyes smeared with leftover makeup from the one day she wore it last week, stains on her clothes, and baggy, wrinkled outfits.

Style;;
Tilly will wear anything that she can find on the discount rack. She likes bright, happy colors, and "peace" slogans with cheerful faces. In general, she tends to be tomboyish. She likes clothes she can crawl around in-- writhe through the grass, clamber over boulders, cling to Pokèmon's back over choppy waters-- so it has to be very sturdy. She likes plenty of pockets.

Her stance and gait are sort of gawky and unconfident. Her feet are a little too big for the rest of her body, and her knees bow in. She always wears a smile, dimpled and confidential as if sharing a secret, but her body language generally conveys her tentative, shy nature.



❝ Behind The Mechanics ❞




Image
MENTALITY
“Even in the darkness, every color can be found.”


Likes;;
• One thing that Tilly adores more than anything else is her camera. It's a beautiful, expensive thing, and she treats it like a Legendary. Her whole body seems to calm when she lays hands on it. It's what she loves, and it instills confidence in her like nothing else.
• Going against the grain. Despite her quiet nature, she's a bit rebellious inside. She just loves proving people wrong-- mostly in defense of others. She loves proving that weak 'mons are strong, and that beauty can come out of barren scenes. The world delights her.
• Nature. Every kind of weather seems to surprise her-- snow, rain, sun... all of it. She adores bunnies, butterflies, trees, deer, rivers, gardening, and long strolls in the forest.
• Art.
• Stars. They are enchanting.
• Silliness and goofing around.
• Cooking. She's an excellent cook and probably enjoys food a little more than she ought to...
• Romance novels.
• Snuggly pajamas.
• Chick flicks.
• Dreaming.
• Doing laundry (she loves the smell).
• Kanto. She's a city girl. She likes the warren of streets, the alleys, the shops...

Dislikes;;
• High heels; they baffle her.
• Not getting answers.
• Work, chores. Neat freaks. Calm down and relax.
• Unneeded violence and blood. It revolts her, makes her physically sick.
• Yelling (it reduces her to a puddle. She doesn't stand up for herself very well).
• MATH.
• Cleaning.

Habits;;
Crossing her arms and other tics, like shifting her weight, adjusting her hair and outfit, and fidgeting when she's shy or embarrassed.
Also, she gets hopelessly lost wherever she goes. Somehow she manages to get turned around, and ends up in some dangerous situation she needs to get saved from.
She's pretty dang accident prone. But she loves her Pokémon. They protect her and keep her safe from harm.

Weaknesses;;
• Aggressiveness. She'll melt under any harsh glare or screaming words. She doesn't have a very strong constitution, and will quickly be reduced to tears. Anyone can get anything they want out of her just by raising their voice. She is a pushover.
• Flirting. Anyone who approaches her with romantic intent will utterly baffle her to the extent of confusion where she hardly knows which way is up.
• Injured people and Pokémon; cries for help. She'll rush to anyone's side to help them, even enemies. She's quite gullible.

Personality;;
Tilly is sweet, kind, and caring. Her personality is really quite witty, but she doesn't usually speak up unless she's completely comfortable. She's also a bit mischievous-- she loves adventures-- but all that is usually hidden beneath her shy demeanor.

Soft-spoken and trusting, young and fresh and prim, Tilly is a sacrificial hero. She will always extend a helping hand, even if it's detrimental to herself. That's why she doesn't particularly like battling, but she doesn't hate it. Though quiet, she's warm and sweet, filled with the confidence that the world is a good place. She always has a word of advice or a hug for anyone who needs it.

Always the artistic type, she has a sharp mind. She's really quite clever. Unfortunately, she has cripplingly low self-esteem. She doesn't trust in herself and her own judgment. She's quiet to the extent of being a pushover. She just refuses to speak up for herself. She's a really good friend, though. When she gets more comfortable around you, she'll start smiling more and inserting smart-aleck comments, but you can't really fault her, since she has that small, sparkling smile the whole time.

To sum it up: Tilly is creative and smart, but very subdued and quiet. She lacks confidence in herself, but loves people and Pokémon.



❝ Behind the Scenes ❞

Special
“I'm just a girl. I love being called pretty, but I'll never believe it. I'm not always right, but I hate admitting I'm wrong.”


Strengths and Special Attributes;;
• Matilda's got a commendable sense of loyalty. She won't ever, ever, in a million years give up on a friend. She gives her heart away like it's something replaceable. Becoming so emotionally invested in each of her relationships makes her a fierce friend to have. She'll cry if you cry. But she'll never let you go without a fight.
• Tilly has a way of bringing out the best in weak Pokémon. She delights in the Pokémon that everybody else overlooks. Since she gives them kindness that they mostly have never seen before, they grow strong under her Trainership.
• An undying sense of optimism and a "never say die" attitude.

Equipment and Personal Artifacts;;
Assorted Potions and Pokeballs.
She has only one HM, and that's Cut.

One thing she treasures above everything is her Gym Badge case. In it are eight Badges. Seven of them belonged to her mother; they aren't licensed to her, so she can't use them. But the eighth Badge is hers, the only one she's ever earned, the Boulder Badge from Brock in Pewter City. She loves the feel of the metal in her hands. To her, it's a blend of warm nostalgia of her mom-- after all, these were her mom's prized possessions-- and pride in her own accomplishments for the Boulder Badge.

Other;;
Photography is her life.

☠ She often feels as if she isn't good enough.

☠ She got her first Pokémon, Paras, when she was younger than the legal age to start her journey.

LIFE
”Here's the story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely...”


History;;
Tilly had a fairly standard life, but she grew up feeling... lost, directionless, pointless-- a problem than many people experience. She was even more of a pushover than she is now, cried incessantly, and shut everyone out. She didn't think that anyone would understand her.

But when she began to get into photography, her life did a 180. Suddenly, she had a purpose: to bring out beauty in "ugly" things. That's where she found her joy, and eventually became the girl she is now.

Today, she is a photographer for The Pokémon Journal.

Preferred Type;;
Any kind of Pokémon that other people scoff at. She doesn't like Pokémon that are popular or strong or cool-- she likes the outcasts and the unloved.

Starter Pokémon;;
Paras

History ~ Paras was Tilly's "starter" Pokémon. When she was very, very young, her mother took her to the Safari Zone for a day off from school. Catching him was completely an accident, and kind of illegal, but Tilly smuggled him home, and after her mother found out, she was allowed to keep him.
