In-Character Information
Name (and age if applicable): Smeargle Doburu (15)
Series: Pokemon (GSC)
Occupation (if applicable): Traveling Artist/Student
Personality: Many look at Smeargle (as an artist) and see quite a few things, a carefree wanderer trying to make a few bucks, or just some two-bit artist pup with a mind full of dreams.
To be honest, they're half-correct. As a shiny Smeargle with a curse on her ink color, Smeargle spends her time moving about from town to town scouting out job opportunities for her art to flourish.
Behind her serious business life she maintains, Smeargle is just another teenage girl with a sense of adventure. She's always up for fun, making friends, and having a good sense of judgment to whatever she does.
Now don't get me wrong, down to the core of it all, if you get her away from being secure about her surroundings and such, she turns into a genuine wimp and one who begins to draw back into a corner. That is all from her curse. It makes her unable to maneuver around crowds and crowded cities and such, but when someone in the crowd asks her something and she notices that other people are staring at her, anxiety kicks right in. Fortunately for her, it's only minor, being the fact that she's so used to being in a city and such, but it can still catch her off guard.
Backstory: Born and raised in the Ruins of Alph, just like any other Smeargle or Natu, Smeargle grew up with the normal necessities; food, shelter, love from a family, a wholesome community that was close, and of course other things. Her family, though, wasn't that normal. It did contain the things that a family usually had; a mother, a father, and siblings, however, there was a catch! The Eldest Beagle was a total book-worm and the popular guy in the family, more towards in school. The second in line was a total trouble-maker, but to his family he was as loyal as could be. Mother Smeargle was a..well, a normal Smeargle, green tail and all, same as her brothers and everything. However, her father was a different tale. Her father wasn't even a Smeargle at all! Nope, after taking a lot from an abusive, cocky trainer, he ended up running away to the Ruins to prevent himself from being harmed. At first, none of the Smeargle even looked at him twice, nor the Natu, however, he proved himself loyal to them both, and they accepted the Typhlosion into their pack.
Despite this, Smeargle still treats him naturally just like a big Smeargle, and that's all he cared for. Now the family lived in total peace and harmony, just until Smeargle turned six, a few days after they planned a picnic to Route 45, even if it was a long way, they knew they'd still have a load of fun. They ended up having a fantastic time, unfortunately for Smeargle, she was feeling a bit adventurous. Wandering off from her parents sight without them noticing, she came across a Teddiursa, quick to make friends with it. The Teddiursa was one that, just like its mother, collected random objects and food, Teddiursa, though, was more reluctant to share its spoils when Smeargle asked if she could draw on something with her sparkly red ink. The only problem seemed to be that the mother Ursaring thought that when Smeargle was drawing something on one of Teddiursa's flat stones, she misinterpreted Smeargle for stealing the stone from her child. Enraged, she slashed out at the small defenseless beagle.
However, right before she even left, her no-good brother had noticed her disappearance, and decided to go look for her. He found her right before the mother Ursaring attacked her. As quick as he could, he jumped straight for her, shoving the girl out of the way. There was one flaw with this, he was a tad slow to shove her, so instead of her just receiving normal damage like any pokemon would, she was scratched right in the back. The only things going through Smeargle's mind at the time of before and after being scratched were "Am I still alive, and why does my back hurt so much?"
So, they returned her to her parents, where they swiftly went back to the Ruins. When they gave her the care she needed on her back, a couple of days after she fully recovered, she returned to her happy-go-lucky drawing self. It wasn't for another week before she started to notice something strange. Her ink was turning black! Obviously, she was a little weirded out with the fact that her once beloved sparkly red ink was now turning some sickly sparkly black, she wanted to hide it, but before she could, everyone in the Ruins found out. They took it as a sign of bad omens and began to ignore her like the plague, this began to change the way she took her outlook on life, and on the day she turned 10, she decided to set off from her life of being a shiny pokemon trying to escape the capture of trainer and the cruel reality of the fact that she's finding it increasingly harder and harder every day to fit in with her fellow pokemon. Without a doubt, and a few weeks of thought, she finally sat down with her parents and told them out straight. She was leaving, and she was going to try to find a way to expand her amazing artistic ability and find a way to fix her ink color. This shocked both of them, and they begged her to stay. She promised them both that she would stay in touch with them, and they, strangely enough, gave her the okay to let her go. After a roudn of long and sad goodbyes, the beagle departed from the safe haven of the Ruins.
While traveling about, Smeargle's not only met up with many types of pokemon and people, of the people some have attempted to catch or befriend her. All attempts to capture fail, but that doesn't stop her from attempting to still befriend the ones who attempted to capture her.
What brings this person to Diamond City?: Being so used to the city atmosphere and the desire to map out as many towns as she can, plus haha the rumors that she's heard around the grapevine, Smeargle set out for the city, hoping that she'll be able to either score a commission or two, or just find some more friends.
