History

 * Originally a child's doll. He was discarded and eventually took on a life of his own thanks to the residual pain of betrayal. He spent the next several decades with a purpose in his un-life, seeing to his former trainer.

Cursed energy

 * Imagine the perfect life being torn away from you. Being abandoned by the one person you cared about? How would you feel? Would you want revenge? Vindication? Well, that would be perfectly reasonable. And I don't like to think of it as "revenge." It's more of a debt paid.

Wild

 * It would be foolish to just sit and plot for a few years. Really, you would be much better served finding something to occupy your time. That's what I did. SO far, it's worked out rather well.

The Woman

 * The woman was nice. The other Pokémon were a bit boring, but every so often they would lighten up and partake in an activity or two. Ah well. At least one of them is dead now anyway, so it hardly matters.

The Bastard

 * That chapter is long closed.

Linoone

 * Linoone had some eggs and abandoned them. He found his children, but then he died. What a father. What an ABSOLUTE ROLE MODEL for the rest of us. Ah well. If nothing else, Linoone made a wonderful punching bag. Nothing like a friend who will come right back after you insult him, or hit him in the face with a tree branch.

Lately

 * Banette has developed a number of productive, normal habits now — come on. Really. That is all the attention any of my finer works are getting? I am starting to doubt your ability to do my profile justice, darling mine. Afraid I might have to handle this, eh?


 * I have acclimated well to modern society, and have developed a number of close, meaningful relationships. I have a lovely little summer cottage far from the vast majority of active Pokémon and humans, which does give me an opportunity to focus on my work uninterrupted, should I feel the need to get away and have a little time to myself. For a time I made some lovely modern art sculptures using bodies and felts I came across, which resulted in Linoone's children destroying his cave, that little darlings. I have promised revenge, and I will have it in due time.


 * Hobbies:
 * Taxidermy.
 * Doll making.
 * Knitting.
 * Carving.
 * Hair Styling.
 * Putting on puppet shows with corpses for the neighborhood children.
 * Interior decorating. (See: Taxidermy)

Twitter

 * So many new friends, so little time to play with them all. Banette spends most of his time menacing the other Pokémon or cackling like a little purple psychopath. May (or may not) legitimately care about — how poorly this is going. "Little purpose psychopath?" Really. Honestly. Here I thought I was going to get a fair profile piece, and instead I'm branded a psychopath. The nerve. Ha ha ha.


 * I have taken control of Linoone's old cave and have since moved in "furniture of questionable origin." As well as some other fine pieces. A pity much of it has since been burned away.


 * I may or may not have killed a number of people/Pokémon, but I prefer to keep the number vague in the interest of it being rather funny (to me). I have gotten rather good with my ghostly little arms, and can strip the meat away from bone and flesh with relative ease. I also enjoys pointing out that killing is rare for me, and that in the long run he has killed far fewer Pokémon than most living things. Now, try again.

Violence

 * Banette has done a fair bit of damage to Linoone over the past several years, including several incidents with trees. He delights in causing anything ranging from mild discomfort and uneasy feelings to terror and pain. So far he has stuck to mind games with the other Pokémon.


 * It is likely that at least the child who discarded Banette originally is dead, one way or another. The same is true of the Son who inherited him. He has implied that the furniture is from the Son.


 * Oh no, we're not implying things. Ha ha ha. Those are just two absolutely delightful stories. I'll be getting to those below. I am not one to boast, but those are points of personal pride. Heh.

Relationships with other Pokémon

 * Strained, at best. Banette takes a great deal of pleasure in causing everyone around him distress. He also seems to have serious issues with being left to his own devices.

Nicknames
Banette has an odd habit of nicknaming other Pokémon. Whether they are pet names or insults is up for debate.
