I haven't played a Pokemon game in years, besides Stadium...but a Pokemon RP is a fresh new idea, and I'm all for that.
Name: Tsubaki Zanbo.

Personality:

Tsubaki's generally in a very cheery, and perhaps even spunky mood most of the time, though she knows how to keep it toned down in more formal situations. When engaging her in a Pokemon battle, it's best to try and keep her from getting too riled up, as that's when she may go overboard, and do something like, say...riding on top of her main Flying type, paraphrasing super robot animes, as it Sky Attacks you into dust.
Tsubaki's lifetime goal, on a general level, is to travel the world seeking pure adventure. Specific things like Pokemon mastery, breeding, trading, etc, are all embarked on purely in pursuit of that primary goal. As a result, her ability to keep friends and companions generally equates to how well they can keep up with her travels; those who like to stay in one place for extensive periods of time will likely come off as "boring" to her.
Home Town: Dewford Town.
Starter Pokemon: Growlithe, with the nickname "Nobi." (Japanese for "wildfire")
Background:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Tsubaki was raised by foster parents, and while her real mother remains unknown, the anamalistic features mixed in with her anatomy makes clear that the father was a Pokemon. Which Pokemon that was also remains to be discovered, though Tsubaki herself believes it was an Arcanine. This half-blooded birthright grants her a higher chance of emotionally bonding with other Pokemon, and vice-versa, though it also makes her more likely to draw wild Pokemon attention.
Nobi was but a defenseless pup when she first found him; the Arcanine mother had birthed a litter too large for her to nurse unaided, and so, Tsubaki took Nobi under her own care, bottle-feeding him until he matured to the point he's at now. While at the same combative ability of the average starter, Nobi sees Tusbaki not just as his trainer, but also as a mother-figure, meaning that he won't hesitate to flame-broil those who threaten her. Likewise, Tsubaki's bonded with Nobi much like she would her own child, meaning she'd put herself in harm's way to defend him if needed. The two take the concept of trainer-Pokemon bonding to a new level, though not quite to the level her own mother obviously did.
