PsychicTrainer

= The Basics = Name: Periwinkle...but seeing as how she absolutely hates it, she goes by Peri only. Age: 18 Height: 5'7" Weight: None of your business! Hair: Blonde Eyes: Periwinkle Blue (Hence the name. Very funny.) Hometown: Saffron City Occupation: Psychic/Pokémon Trainer; Former Disciple of the Saffron City Gym = Current Pokémon =  Abra - Peri's first pokémon, who seems to have no desire to evolve and Peri isn't going to push the issue. The two hold the strongest psychic bond out of the team. Natu - The most introverted of the lot. Received from a Johto breeder. Starmie - Nicknamed 'Aquarius' and generally referred to as "she" despite being non-gendered. Venonat - Currently her only non-psychic type, though she's taught him psychic attacks and therefore has dubbed him an "honorary psychic". Exeggcute - Captured during a vacation to the Safari Zone. They tend to bicker with eachother a lot, which gives Peri headaches from the psychic energy, but she does her best to play mediator.  = Personality = Peri is a generally laidback, friendly, and intelligent young woman that prefers to live in the moment. Due to her mental training over the years she is extremely strong-willed and focused...with the exception of when people call her by her full name despite being warned. Then the whole "don't use your psychic powers for evil" mantra tends to fly out the window for a little while, the teaser's left face-down in a trash can and Peri has an extra ¥400. At times she can seem obsessive over things that pique her interest and can go off on tangents, however once called on it (usually by her pokémon companions) she's quick to calm down and goes about things as usual.

Now that she's finally finished her apprenticeship she's decided to take her skills (and her pokémon) on the road like any other self-respecting trainer and make a name for herself. = Other = Peri actually communicates with her pokémon via her psychic powers and always uses this advantage in battles. Though her team so far isn't especially diverse, she tests opponents' skills as trainers by not giving them a verbal hint of her attacks and instead making them figure out what's coming through watching the pokémon's movements.
