Canon Character and Series: Erika (Pokemon Series: Pokemon Special Manga)
In-Game Name: Erika Celadon
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Position & Ship: The Serenity: Strategist or Passenger
Appearance: Erika is a young beautiful woman, who has dark brown eyes and short black hair with a red headband. Her outfit consist of a long sleeved yellow shirt, with a red cravat attached to it. She is also wearing a long red skirt along with brown boots underneath. Sometimes, she can be seen with a red bow and arrows which is her weapon to sometimes help Vileplume.
Personality: Erika is pretty much like nature, appearing beautiful and being very calm and gentle, but having a slightly extreme side to her. She follows a geisha culture, like her mother, with a practice in ikebana, an art of arranging flowers in her surroundings. She was raised like royalty due to the status of her father, who is one of the richest men in Colvus. She is also the only heir of the family. Erika is a lady who cares for the people and creatures in Vohemar, often giving lectures at school in return for their kindness.
Erika is often quiet, but is too well-known in the city She was given the title "The Nature-Loving Princess" for her love and interests in nature and creatures. She tends to be a little picky on certain plant-like animals, only if they are attractive. But, her definition for attractive contains varieties of all that a nature lover could ever adore. She is a bit narcoleptic, tending to doze off and even falling asleep for a moment. However, trainers who show their motivation and power inspires and motivates her to work hard and not fall asleep much. She can go to an extreme side, like once, she threaten to kill an innocent animal that was close to death, but was actually an test to see if the trainer that she was facing can prove her that he was worthy and had the talents to help her. She is really a kind soul, fully against Team Rocket and wishes them to be stopped.
Abilities/Weapons: Like some people in Reial, Erika is a trainer, who trains and works
together with the unique creatures that roam in all corners of the world, that can be used as partners in fighting, contests, or just the daily tasks. Erika is the type of trainer who uses these creatures that only have powers related to nature and plants. She technically has three, but she only brought one with her, which is named Vileplume. Vileplume appears to be a cute blue creature with a large red rafflesia flower growing on the top of it's head. It may appear to be innocent and gentle, but Vileplume is also has poisonous abilities as well.
Vileplume has four moves:
- Swords Dance: A move where Vileplume does a dance to keep up it's fighting spirit, plus will raise Attack Power for a few minutes.
- Petal Dance: Another dancing-like move where sharp pink petals are scattered everywhere, using them as a weapon against the enemy as the petals strike them in a gust of wind. However, once Vileplume uses it too much, it will end up in confusion.
- Poison Powder: A move where Vileplume sprays out a mist of poisonous powder from the top of it's flower. It's normally used to fighting off intruders or when Vileplume was threaten. With the right herbs, the poison can be cured.
- Absorb: One of Vileplume's first moves ever since it was a little bud. Basically, Vileplume can heal itself by taking away energy from another being, or energy from plants.
Besides her strange flower friend, Erika also has talents in archery, bringing with her a bow and set of arrows. There is even at times where she helps in battle with both her partner and bow when Vileplume could use the help. She also practices flower arrangement to the side when off of work.
How well can your character hack?: She can't and doesn't want to hack at all.
Weaknesses: Since Erika is used to the working of nature, she will have a major disadvantage against anything fire or bird-like if something like that attacks Vileplume. Due to the advantages and disadvantages of creatures, Vileplume can get really hurt and scared around fire and birds since it is it's major weaknesses. Another disadvantage to Vileplume is that it's very slow that it holds it's flower with it's hands, since it's very heavy.
To Erika, however, she tends be a little extreme at times. She wants to makes sure that people are worthy enough to face her in battle or if they can assist her in anyway on her mission. Once, she even threaten to kill another being to someone when they lost a battle, but that person pulled through and showed Erika that he was worthy to stop the terrorist group she wishes to stop as well as many others. Those who don't prove that are worthy or even useful, she'll have a hard time to get long with that person.
Another thing is that she a bit of narcoleptic, meaning that she tends to doze off or even fall sleep randomly. She works hard to prevent it from happening, letting stronger trainers be her inspiration and motivation to keep working hard. She sometimes forces herself off from work when she gets drowsy.
History: Erika was born and raised in Colvus, and her family is pretty well known in the large city. She is the only child in the Celadon family, the only heir to take over her parent's businesses. She grew up being treated like royalty, since her family was very wealthy and secretly responsible for ownership of the Celadon Game Corner, which were the cause of most of the city's gambling issues, but it was her father’s business, so Erika and her mother didn't knew much about his part in it. Erika grew up in the simple life. Until one day, she was walking in a nearby forest, a monster attacked her. The monster turned out be a wild, poisonous being, which was called Grimer by locals. However, another being stepped into the scene, rescuing Erika, but was badly hurt in the process. It was called Gloom, who looks like a creature that drools, wearing a rotten unbloomed flower, plus having an awful smell. Erika was grateful for the creature's rescue so she took it in and her father decided to let her keep it. That started the days where Erika became deciated to become a trainer, specifically a trainer that uses the powers of nature herself.
As Erika grew older, she started to become quite successful. After years of training with the various creatures and pets she had, she became part of the Vohemar League to replace her father after his retirement. While practicing archery and opening up a perfume shop, life was very pleasant for her. However, all was fine until she heard of Team Rocket. The terrorist group that uses monsters for wrongful deeds and to make them closer to their goal and have endless riches. Her and part of the city were against the group, so they decided to keep eyes close of them as they lurk in the shadows underneath the Game Corner and dark parts of the city.
One day, rumors spread around that an Eevee, a cute brown fox-like creature, was running around the city, with something strange going on about it. Erika then learned that the Eevee escaped from the labs of Team Rocket after it was reconstructed to be able to transform into all of it's three possible advanced forms, making it have abilities of fire, water, and lightning. Erika decided to go track down Eevee so it could be safe from the hands of Team Rocket. She first found the Eevee wandering around in Trewe when giving some of the towns a visit, but she has failed to capture it. She knows that she couldn't just stay in the city, for the Eevee could even manage to run far from the city, or even gotten to the Badlands. So, she left her shop under care of friends and left the city to join a ship to travel around until she can find the Eevee and bring it back home to safety before Team Rocket finds it first. With her bow in one hand and Vileplume by her side, she is ready to start a new life.
