Name: Avalyn "Ava" Glasse
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Quirks/Preferences: Avalyn is a Flying-type specialist; it's her favorite and best type. She wouldn't be opposed to other types, really, but she wouldn't have much of an idea how to take care of any non-Flying Pokemon. Her Pokemon's nicknames all tend to do with song, dance, and music in general, as well.
Description: This girl is older than she looks. A bit small, if she had wings, Avalyn probably would easily be picked up by the winds and she would love it. She doesn't have many muscles, but she is quite the runner and barely loses her breath after a long jog. She has short, light-brown hair that reaches just below her ears, but she is trying to grow it a bit longer so the wind can play with it more often, and her eyes are a pretty hazel color.
Her clothes are usually light and easy for her to move in. She tends to wear whatever happens to be laying around -- be it jeans and a t-shirt or a blouse and skirt -- as long as she's comfortable. She does wear a sleeveless vest, and keeps her pokeballs in the inside pockets. If she could go barefoot all year round she would, but she has enough sense to wear her old sneakers.
Personality: Avalyn is a dreamer. She never has her feet firmly on the ground and, as such, can be a bit naive and distracted easily (especially by shiny objects). She tends to soak up knowledge like a sponge and loves to learn as much as she can about everything. The only girl of her family, she can be childish and hates it when things don't go her way. However, she doesn't tend to be angry very long and will most likely forget the matter soon enough. As such, she's mostly a very happy person and can be a bit annoying with how optimistic she can be. Ava is the typical "always there for friends" kind of girl.
Brief History: Avalyn is the only girl of five siblings, and was used to being doted on by her parents and older brothers. The large family lived in little Twinleaf Town of the Sinnoh region, and were very content, despite the children growing restless the closer it got to the year where they would each be able to get their Pokemon licenses.
Instead of competing in contests or the Pokemon Leagues, Avalyn and her brothers all comprise of type specialists. Tyson, the eldest of the family, works at the Cinnabar Gym in the Kanto region; the second oldest Bryar was in Sinnoh and had recently joined Gaia Ranch after working at Eterna City's gym; Ava's twin Murray is an apprentice at Hoenn's Sootopolis City's Gym; and the youngest of the family Elyan is all the way in the Unova region, making his way toward Nimbasa City's Electric-type gym.
Avalyn herself had been traveling since she was thirteen years old, with her goal in life to one day work in the Violet City Flying Gym of the Johto region. After a while, she did reach her goal, and was a gym trainer under the leader Falkner until she was about seventeen. She had the bug to do something different, and she ended up making her way back to the Sinnoh region to try to figure it out. She heard about Gaia Ranch near Solaceon Town that was hiring, and applied, hoping that helping out other Pokemon was what she needed to stop her wandering spirit.
