{[/i][/size][/color] character info } [/right][/font][/color][/size]GENERAL PERSONALITY.[/b]
Retta is incredibly generous and forgiving. A bleeding heart to a fault. She'll do anything for a Pokemon in need or a trainer. If it was up to her, she'd give away the Thought Badge to anyone who was nice to their Pokemon. However, this does not mean she isn't fierce in battle because she is very dedicated to her job as a leader. Her battling techniques may seem old fashioned and barbaric to some, but they're that way merely because it is unexpected. When it comes to her Pokemon she has an obvious soft spot. They can get away with almost anything. The only time she rules them with an iron fist is when they disobey in battle, which they pretty much know not to do.
Despite her kind attitude and generous aura, she is rather arrogant. She'll argue for hours about how psychic type is better than dragon type or whatever you are arguing. And being a bit thickheaded at times, she'll jump to conclusions and not listen to your reasoning. But she always comes around if you need her.
She's a bit nocturnal, spending a lot of her time on the back balcony of the gym looking up at the stars. She's got nothing against the day time but it's best not the challenge until noon at least because she sleeps until nine and needs time to ready herself.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
Retta is thin, but not in the holy shit go eat something way. She's healthy and athletic, probably from completely redoing a gym with the help of a few Pokemon. She stands about five foot six making her fairly tall for a girl. She likes to wear victorian style dresses. The ones with all the ruffles and lace. And old vintage jewelry, mostly rings. She has red eyes with a slight hint of an orange shade and long blond hair that goes down to her waist. She is not the normal creepy psychic gym leader your normally see. If anything, she looks like she's ready to begin a contest at any moment.
Retta was born in the small town of Lavender. There wasn't much else in the town other than the Pokemon Tower, a place designated to honor the deceased Pokemon of trainers and others alike. The girl's parents were not trainers, or coordinators, or anything of the sort. They were normal people with a single Pokemon to call their own. A Persian named Raulph.
The young girl led a normal life, playing with other kids and the like, until she was seven. When she turned seven she began to volunteer at the Pokemon House with Mr. Fuji. She would take a borrowed Pokemon and explore just outside the town looking for abandoned and injured Pokemon. One day she was out and about with a Nidoran named Fang. She was just outside Lavender near a section of trees. She had only found one injured Pokemon so far and while it wasn't a contest, she wanted to find the most out of all the other volunteers. She and Fang looked everywhere. Until finally, she found something.
An Abra was sitting on the ground and emitting high pitched squeals. Retta had no idea what was wrong with him. Fang, being scared of the thing, stayed back. But the girl approached. The Abra stared at her, as if into her soul. It took a lot of convincing, but the Abra eventually followed her back. It turned out he wasn't sick, abandoned, or injured. The creature was just lonely. Mr. Fuji placed him in a foster home but he disappeared the next day, showing back up at the volunteer house. This went on for several months, with the Abra always coming back.
Mr. Fuji decided the Abra would be a permanent resident. And he went with Retta when she would look for injured Pokemon. Some of the angrier Pokemon put up fights, and Retta learned to battle. One day the Abra, who had been named Luka, evolved into a Kadabra after knocking out a Vulpix. Retta, who was now nine, picked up the Vulpix and headed for the volunteer house. Mr. Fuji acknowledged the growing connection between the pair but said nothing for the time being.
On Retta's tenth birthday she was all ready to go to Pallet to get her starter. Mr. Fuji approached her to say good bye. After the tearful goodbye, he pressed a pokeball into Retta's hand and walked away. For a long while the girl stared at the red and white capsule. She assumed he was just giving her an empty pokeball. She had never held one before, and thought the warmth radiating from it was from her own hands.
She decided to first go to Cerulean to buy some supplies, such as repel to keep wild Pokemon away on her journey to the lab. As she was walking, she tripped and the pokeball fell from her bag. It burst open to Retta's surprise and Luka appeared. Retta couldn't believe it. Mr. Fuji had given her the Kadabra she had befriended years ago.
After making her way to all the gyms and catching a full crew she left the region and moved to the Matsunoki Region. She had fallen in love with the psychic type, yet Luka was her only one. She placed all her Pokemon, except Kadabra, in the PC and traveled to where the psychic gym was. At this time she was sixteen. To her surprise, it was deserted. Abandoned. Empty. And covered in cobwebs. She, with permission from the elders of the town, offered to fix it up if she could be gym leader.
When Retta turned eighteen, it was all fixed up. The gym had an almost cathedral like feel with a stone outside and beautiful arches and statues. She then became gym leader, being of legal age. At this point she had captured a whole new team and begun her time as a gym leader. She is still young but she is not someone you want to take for granted.
