Rae's strongest trait would be empathy, her understanding and ability to shift colors for the sake of someone's comfort often led her to be nicknamed Kecleon by her mother. Her introspective nature has enabled her to reflect upon her life as well as the lives of others and learn from them; accompanied by a passion for existential questioning instead of pragmatic thinking, her mind is, more often than not, deep in thought. Considered unconventional by most, she prefers to not only let her moral principals guide her, but also for her nocturnal tendencies to shape her schedule.
Her free spirit refuses to be cooped up or tied down, she prefers to be in control of herself and capable of leaving in a moments notice. She's odd and, although extroverted, prefers to be anti-social for the sake of solace; her pokemon are the exception to that distinction, and always have been. Leaning towards the tomboy role, she doesn't mind hard core music, spends little time on her appearance and couldn't even try to take the role of a coordinator.
She's genuine, honest, and can be extremely affectionate. However, she can also be judgmental, most always impatient and has incredibly high standards personally. She's also her worst critic.
Biography:
Rae had a rough, fatherless, low class childhood to sum it up. These days, she's doing well and pursuing what she loves, gradually trying to forgive and forget her unstable, drama filled younger years.
Rae has been working within the Wildlife Reserve alongside Rangers and Breeders, to aid pokemon injured by the darkness, and prevent certain species from being sucked in and becoming extinct. It was at the Reserve that she met Elijah, a couple years back he'd volunteered to foster an injured creature back to health, and she had recommended a Noibat to him, of which is now a fully recovered Noivern and a permanent addition to his team. She and Eli have kept in touch ever since the exchange. She's also been seasoning herself and her team for the foreshadowed darkness approaching.
Likes: Exploring, nurturing animals, pastels, fruity flavors, sketching, Elijah as a close friend.
Dislikes: Animosity, politics, most anything mainstream, not having snacks, being in the same place too long, major commitments.
Fears: Being immersed in water (Swimming, mostly), absolute darkness, and she has a hard time coming to terms with death, not her own so much as others.

Personality:
Naturally, Elijah keeps his personal life private. Though a bit introverted, he's easily amused and doesn't mind a little company. His heart is kind, but he doesn't like overly-modest people, or being praised for what he does as a human being. He refuses to be responsible for others, and dislikes long term obligations; he enjoys his freedom, and prefers that nothing hinders it by requesting his constant attention (Other than his team).
If possible, he avoids random battles and the like, preferring his team relax and enjoy their surroundings just as much as he tries to until they get to the gyms. Accusations push him away, as do most extremists and overly opinionated individuals. Agile, a quick thinker and level headed.

Personality: Aria is quiet and mysterious to strangers, sometimes she can appear as hostile and bold towards them. However, when Aria is around her friends she has a more relaxed nature. She enjoys having fun and has a tactical mind. Everything in life is like a giant puzzle that she wants to solve, chess pieces that have not moved in years covered in dust, she is cautious when she makes her move.
Biography: The daughter of a Gym Leader named "Jango" who mastered the martial arts and taught many before him, she was different. Aria never had the body of a martial artist, she was more fragile and unwilling to participate in physical activities. In her mind, everything was like a tactical game that she would rather solve than act out upon. Disappointed, her father decided to leave her be letting her enjoy the things she does instead of trying to force her to do martial arts. He explained that learning such does not mean you have to use it, but to defend yourself when no one else will. Aria thought differently. At the age of twelve (12), Jango gifted her, her first pokemon; a Mienfoo. Jango could not watch his daughter forever, that he knew but he also was not going to let her be alone when she left home.
Aria and her Mienfoo stayed close together building a strong relationship. She would watch Mienfoo as it practiced it's own martial arts and she would lay out tactics. Together they made a fantastic team, even if she was not a fighter.

Mienshao LVL 57 /F/(#620)
Name: Shai
Quiet Nature
Fighting
Ability: Inner Focus
Trained Moves: High Jump Kick/Drain Punch/Wide Guard/Calm Mind
Instinctive Move: Whip Lash
Shai has been with Aria since the day Aria's Father introduced Shai to her. That means Shai has been with Aria almost ten years, making their bond incredibly strong. Before Shai was placed into Aria's hands, Jango made Shai promise to protect his daughter till the very end thus making Shai have a rather protective nature over Aria. Despite her protective nature, Shai is rather quiet personally spending her time meditating and practicing martial arts on a daily basis. During combat, Shai responds to Aria's tactics through hand motions yet Shai does not need to see what Aria does as their connection goes as deep as the silence of the breath.
Abra LVL 11 /M/ (#63)
Name: Kuro
Calm Nature
Psychic
Ability: Synchronize
Trained Moves: Barrier/Psyshock
Instinctive Move: Teleport
Kuro has been with Aria for only a few months yet they are able to maintain a stable connection. Thanks to Kuro, Aria is able to transfer her tactic plans to Shai telepathically though at times are not accurate. Kuro is 'babied' greatly by Aria as Kuro can usually be found in her arms being held close. Aria feels the need to protect Kuro due to it's inability to use many moves and still young. Though thanks to Shai, Kuro learned how to use it's two moves Barrier and Psyshock even if it's not very often. When the team is in danger, Kuro is able to teleport them to safety thanks to it's instincts, but at times their location can end them up somewhere new. Kuro is calm in nature and constantly watches Aria and Shai train.
Tovi was the second edition to Aria's team and has been with her for four years. Their bond is questionable no thanks to Tovi's lonely nature but when danger calls, Tovi is there beside Aria and Shai. Unlike the rest of the team, Tovi is not generally spotted next to Aria instead he can be found flying high above never too far away. Before Kuro joined her team, Tovi was known to rarely even appear but now Tovi is closer to the team than usual. It appears that he keeps an eye on Kuro but the fact is unknown or even the reason to why.
