Illumise

Bonjour, mes amis! Humans, I sincerely hope you keep your children safely locked away in their homes. :]

As Illumise
Drifloon was not always a Drifloon...

Early Life
She was born an Illumise in the Petalburg Woods of Hoenn, and grew up in a clan of other Illumises and Volbeats. However, this life wasn't for her. She wanted civility and the glamour of becoming a Contest pokemon someday. When given the opportunity, she married a Volbeat from Sinnoh and relocated from her forest home to Hearthome City. There, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a Contest pokemon. The local gym leader, Fantina, was her Coordinator (keep in mind that Illumise was NOT Fantina's pokemon at the time; but merely a friend for entering Contests). Illumise was a hit, winning many Ribbons from all over the region. As for her marriage to Volbeat, not much is known about it, other than Illumise was no longer married to him by the time she joined Twitter, and that Volbeat's current whereabouts are unknown. Illumise always refused to further comment on this matter.

Personality
Illumise was best described as being very endearing towards her friends, albeit a tad conceited due to her success in Contests. However she was always quick to excitement, and easily distracted and entertained. She hated dispute, which is why she preferred Contests over what she called "cock fights". It was also for this reason that she detested the thought of ever being captured by a Trainer (and being kept in a claustrophobic pokeball). As a result, she never trusted humans much except for Fantina, who she looked up to and adored. Illumise picked up French from her and had a tendency to speak the language during a conversation.



Joining Twitter
Illumise became a part of the Poketwitter community and found many friends, all of whom she loved and cherished. Her most notable friends were probably Pichu, Misdreavus, Banette (whom she called "Giggles"), and Haunter.

Death and Transformation
As Illumise gained more friends over Poketwitter, she became acquainted with several ghosts. She observed that the life (or lack of life) of a ghost-type pokemon was strangely fascinating, and the more the ghosts like Banette and Haunter told her about it, the more interested in it she became. When Haunter started asking around to see if anyone was willing to give up their lives to become ghosts, Illumise could not resist, especially when she was becoming more interested in Haunter himself by the second...

Becoming A Ghost
Illumise made the decision to try becoming a ghost, and she and Haunter desperately sought for a way to turn a living being into one, for it was much more complicated than it originally seemed. Almost immediately after arriving in Kanto to visit Haunter, Illumise got lost in the Viridian Forest for the rest of the day. During her time wandering lost, she found a Spell Tag on the ground. When she found Haunter, they decided the Spell Tag was something that could possibly help them, and asked Fantina about it. Upon hearing that they wanted to make Illumise a ghost pokemon, she told them of the only known way to do so, but it was not without great risk. If the plan did not work, Illumise would die and never return.
