ABOUT THE CHARACTER
FULL NAME:
Rhyannon De Sauveterre
NICKNAMES:N/A
AGE: 16 (Sixteen)
GENDER: Female
SEXUALITY: Pansexual
LOOKS: Rhyannon is very tall and thin. She is technically underweight- she doesn't eat much, really. She stands at about 5'9. Her body type is very blockish- she isn't very well endowed and doesn't have much hip either. The fact that she is extremely thin and doesn't have much weight to distribute in the places women generally tend to gain weight when they hit puberty doesn't really help much with this, either.
Her skin is very fair. Her face is dabbed with freckles. Her eyes are small and hazel. Her nose is long, and it seems to fit perfectly on her face. Her face looks like it was constructed very carefully. She always has a bit of a lost expression on her face- not because she's lost, of course, just because her face defaults to that expression when she herself is not actively making another one. This lost expression gives her an innocent, almost angelic look. A lot of people misjudge her, and rightly so, when they look at her face.
Although she does very basic things such as keeping herself clean, Rhyannon doesn't really take care of herself. Taking time out of her day to gussy up for others has never really appealed to her. Not only because of the fact that she generally doesn't really want people to talk to her, but also because it takes a lot of take to look good and presentable every day. Most of the time she can be found just wearing a thrown on white, lacy dress and a pair of white flats. On occasion, she'll go ahead and throw on a pair of jeans, a simple white camisole and her trademark white flats, but she doesn't dress up much other than that.
OTHER: Her faceclaim is Allegra Carpenter.
LIKES:Rhyannon enjoys spending time alone. She also loves ghost and fairy type Pokemon (she plans on specializing in Fairy and Ghost types when she makes a career for herself.) She loves reading, especially fiction. She unknowingly uses her fiction as an unhealthy method of escapism. Since her family settled down permanently, she's found joy in being surrounded by nature. She's loved most bodies of water other than the ocean her entire life. She prefers cold weather over hot weather.
DISLIKES:
As an introvert, Rhyannon strongly dislikes spending time around other people. She also dislikes people who she herself considers brutish and rude. Pretty judgmental herself, it doesn't take much for Rhyannon to consider a person to be rude and brutish. Although she dislikes conversation as a whole, she especially dislikes unintelligent conversation. If her conversational partner isn't insightful enough for her, she'll just brush them off and end the conversation right there. She really, really dislikes the heat. Despite loving bodies of water, she dislikes getting wet and wearing bathing suits. She is extremely prejudice when it comes to people's weights. She dislikes eating food and drinking carbs.
Rhyannon is extremely intelligent and analytical. She has a bit of a mysterious air to her, giving her a strange kind of appeal. Along with this, she is very conventionally attractive. On the outside, she looks like she has it all. On the inside, however, she is an emotional wreck- this most definitely outweighs all of the strengths she seems to have.
WEAKNESSES: Rhyannon, despite spending much time reading psychology and sociology textbooks, still struggles when it comes to interacting with people. Her speech seems very disconnected. Along with this, she is very cold and tends to distance herself from anyone who even begins to come close to her. She is also a very sub par trainer, even though she spent a lot of time studying specific strategies for winning battles.
GOALS: In the long term, Rhyannon would like to become a Pokemon professor, like her father. She would like to completely fill out the National Pokedex as well.
FEARS:
Rhyannon is afraid of hurting her Pokemon. She would die if anything bad ever happened to them- this is why she generally refrains from battling. On a less-than-surface level, though, Rhyannon fears losing people. After having so many close friendships broken up a a child through death, moving or just plan stupidity on her part, she developed a deep fear of losing people. To cope with this fear, she stopped getting close to people and developing emotional connections with people altogether.
PERSONALITY: SECRETS:
TRIGGER WARNING, MENTIONS OF AN EATING DISORDER
Rhyannon has an eating disorder that she keeps a secret from people, especially her parents.
Rhyannon has an eating disorder that she keeps a secret from people, especially her parents.
Since birth, Rhyannon has been very smart. She's always gotten attention from her parents as well as her schools for being a gifted child. The attention she got from schools led her to love and crave attention and approval from authority figures. She's never been one for attention from her peers, though. Even before she learned that emotional bonds she made with people were soon to be broken as she moved around frequently, she was an introvert and never was a huge people person. After she had that realization, though, which was at a fairly young age, she became even more introverted. She found herself constantly lost in books and studies. She always felt very close to her Pokemon, despite the fact that she did not want to get close to people.
Rhyannon is extremely elitist. She has many prejudices, particularly against bigger people and people who are less intelligent than her. This has led to many, many people disliking her- and for good reason. Her prejudices are founded on the constant attention she was given as a child for her smarts and on her own unhealthy, obsessive behaviors that she tricked herself into thinking were completely normal. She treats people who she believes to be inferior to her in those two aspects with disrespect- often brushing them off and not listening to them in conversations, even when they have a fair knowledge on the conversation topic.
Rhyannon is extremely obsessive and has shown patterns of unhealthy behavior due to this. Her fictional reading and obsessive calorie are examples of this. She often gets lost in these obsessive behaviors. They engulf her life, and although part of her doesn't want to believe it, she knows it's true. She just refuses to accept that they are destroying her life.
She is also very mysterious. She doesn't like people getting close to her- even though that threat of moving anymore isn't there, the behavior and the ideas have been ingrained into her. She doesn't say much when she talks to people, and when she does say things, they are not very revealing and don't really tell much about her personality or her past. Most of the things people could figure out about her could be drawn from how she moves and how she communicates nonverbally.

BIRTHPLACE:
Laverre City, Kalos
HISTORY:
Rhyannon was born in Laverre City, Kalos with her mother and her father. Her mother stayed at home while her father was an up-and-coming Pokemon professor whose job required a lot of travelling and research. Because of this, most of Rhyannon's life was spent hopping from region to region and town to town. She's lived everywhere- from Sinnoh, to Johto, to Kanto and everywhere in between. Because of this on-the-move lifestyle, Rhyannon detached herself from every area she went. She couldn't afford to start liking one specific area, or the people who lived there for that matter, because soon after getting there, she'd be forced to move to another place. Instead of making friends, Rhyannon took to studying anything and everything. She gained a considerable knowledge of practically everything around her. In her studies, she picked up a good knowledge of Pokemon and a love for fiction.At age 8, Rhyannon's father gave her two Pokemon- an Eevee and a Pumpkaboo. She was never really into battling them, only doing it when absolutely necessary and when she had someplace to go, because she couldn't stand seeing them hurt. As such, they never really leveled up much, even in her seven years of having them. After quite a few years of loving on her Eevee, it evolved into a Sylveon. Her Pumpkaboo never evolved, as she wouldn't think of letting it go, even for a second.
At around 15, her parents moved to the Avana region. The decision was largely her father's; he'd needed to go there to study the Pokemon in the region and get a first hand look at how they interacted with each other. After a stern conversation with her father, Rhyannon's mother had finally convinced him to let the family set their roots down for good somewhere. Rhyannon was thrilled to bits with this decision. Although her old habits of staying distant from many residents in the region stayed, she began to slowly branch out and enjoy exploring the lands of the Avana region. At 16, her mother decided it would be a good idea for her to go and begin her own adventure, pursuing her dream of becoming a Pokemon professer, just like her father.
