Ivy Frost
[Ranger & Trainer Character]
Age: 23 [27 post time skip; current time]
Gender: Female
Personality: Ivy is generally easy-going. She’s quick to smile and loves to laugh and have a good time. She never feels the rush to be doing something and takes time to just enjoy the scenery and what she’s doing--or at least that's how she comes across. Sometimes she internalizes stress about things like paying her bills or having to go back to check up on the house she owns but hates instead of her apartment. Other things she's displeased with she has no problem vocalizing or showing her disdain. Once, she was hesitant to make a fuss, but now she has little tolerance for things that are a waste of time or that are hurting others.
She’s pretty adventurous, and she’ll try most things at least once, no matter how crazy they seem. Working in the field only enabled this habit, since she often makes up her own fun while on a run. She has a deep respect for life and works to preserve nature and the things that live there fiercely. Ranger til she dies sort of thing.
She does get down sometimes since her brother disappeared without a trace many years ago, but she does her best to hide that away too. She's also something of a hard-ass to some people, particularly her male co-workers, since otherwise they tend to treat her like a girl. She can also be really stubborn, but sometimes that's beneficial in that it makes her determined to solve a problem. Once she's pushed past her tolerable limit, however, she will do her best to get even and then some. She's been known to hold grudges and sometimes wait and savor the anticipation of getting back at someone.
For a while, she left the Park to go do field work in various parts of the world, helping catch poachers and just stopping Pokemon crime in general. Being gone so long has left her a little out-of-touch with goings-on in the Park, to where she's sort of adopted a "fake it til you make it" approach as far as what people expect she can do (being an old vet) and trying to regain a lot of lost knowledge. She feels the pressure of expectation in a different way than she did before when she was just getting the hang of her job. For the most part, the Rangering stuff comes second hand and is steeped into her bones--it's the people part that proves more challenging.
Since her outings in the world, she's also adopted a more mellow mindset. Like that she's seen some stuff makes her just a touch more unshakable. It also, however, increased her sense of justice and lowered her tolerance of bullies, either people or Pokemon-wise. It also dramatically improved her relationship in her Pokemon, since they've had to stick together during some very intense and dangerous situations.
Description: Ivy is somewhat tan, with medium-long length reddish hair that crinkles near the ends. She's about average height and build, but all the outdoors work makes sure she's pretty fit. Regular gym workouts, including some hand-to-hand, are a part of her regime ever since being ambushed by poachers in the Woods.
She is rarely seen without Haji, her Espeon, who mostly refuses to let her go anywhere alone anymore. Vergil, her Gallade, is also often present as of recently.
She wears a thin black turtle neck under a long, red canvas vest with a hood. She rarely carries a bag with her, so she keeps supplies in the pockets of her black cargo pants or clipped to her utility belt. That's where a coil of rope and her phone/GPS/computer device sits too. She has an old compass from her brother that was crafted into a necklace, though she doesn't wear this too often, and doesn't really like to wear hats.
She usually smiles, even when upset, but she pulls off a great neutral face too. Often, she'll sleep in her small office instead of going home, although a lot of these times end up in all-nighters, so sometimes the lines of tiredness are pretty visible on her face. Nothing a few hours in the outdoors won't fix though, in her opinion.
These days, after a couple of run-ins with some poachers both in the Park and on the mainland, she has a tracker on the inside seam of her vest too, just in case. It's come in handy while doing field work and in case of emergency.

Personality: Elena is usually friendly and likes to substitute her lack of family with having many Pokémon that serve the same purpose. She hates fire and bears the scar of it, and she hides the mark from sight. She grew up a little fast, so sometimes she drifts off into a serious mode when she remembers some of the people she used to be mixed up with. She likes to have many friends.
Description: Elena is average height with brown tinted hair roughly the color of a Buneary that sits a little past shoulder length. She wears a long, tan canvas coat over a black three quarter sleeve shirt with a hood. A good pair of blue jeans and practical boots finish her wardrobe. She keeps her stuff in vest pockets. She has a pair of black long gloves. The left arm is always covered. Sometimes the right is not.
Pokémon Natures:
-Hardy F Persian (Technician/Limber)
-Brave M Flygon (Levitate)
-Relaxed M Swampert (Torrent)
Personality: Mizuki comes from a ninja clan. As a result, she tends to naturally be quiet and observant, but she won't hesitate to break the silence or strike up a conversation if needed. When she does speak, it's usually soft and in flatter tones. It's a habit for her to meditate often, usually in the morning or evening, but especially if she has a big problem that needs solving. She doesn't like to act rashly and instead tries to plot her actions. Zu is quietly confident, but not cocky. She knows what her body is capable of and also why it is important to not act sometimes. She doesn't particularly care for violence.
She left home a few years ago because of a dispute with her father, leaving behind a mother and brother she misses. Because of that, she tends to look out for and give advice to people that seem younger than her. She likes Dark, Ghost, and Poison Pokemon mostly, and although she grew up in a sneaky profession, she doesn't really like being alone. Her Pokemon are mostly her companions, but she doesn't mind if there's another person she can keep within sight either.
Slightly secretive by nature, she doesn't offer up details readily. Growing up in a household where information was more valuable than a lot of other things, she only really shares in bits and pieces even when asked a direct question. As a result, it takes people a while to warm up to her since she often seems shady or antisocial. When she's planning, sometimes she doesn't even share parts of it in case something goes awry.
Description: Zu is physically fit because of the training regimens and martial arts imposed upon her as a kid, and even though she hasn't been home in a while, she still keeps up regular exercise out of habit. She's lean and flexible, but she's made to stay hidden and evade hits, not take them. She has whiteish/gray hair that she inherited from her father, and it's usually kept in a messy braid with bangs creeping over the headband she wears.
As per sneaking around, her garb is dark, with leggings and soft-soled shoes that let her walk silently. A dark shirt, scarf, and vest are hidden under a larger tunic or poncho she wears instead of a coat. Her gloves have the fingers missing so that she can handle delicate equipment, such as senbon needles, that she keeps in her vest and other various hidden places. She also specializes in toxins and antidotes thanks to her Pokemon, and has bottles of both on hand, as well as other materials in her vest and belt pouches.

Personality: Ixin is pretty nonviolent and hates seeing too much conflict or destruction of the environment. She is mostly a wanderer and loves to travel to new places. Sometimes she makes maps. Usually quiet, she likes to spend some time thinking/reflecting on what's going on before speaking or taking action, although sometimes certain events will trigger an immediate response, as if she was like a real Pokemon. She can also be sort of defensive because she doesn't interact with a lot of people very often, preferring to be alone. This makes her a little awkward in social situations. There's a slight bitterness inside of her because of the negative way she left her home, and that makes her wary of other people and guarded. This also makes her keep a close eye on her surroundings, especially if they are new.
Description: Ixin is slightly under average at 5'7" but she's fit from her near-constant wandering. She has short, choppy hair that barely brushes her shoulders in a whiteish shade. Turquoise strands color the tips. Her eyes are two different colors as well: the left is green while the right is blue. She normally has on a forest green robe/cloak that has deep pockets. The sleeves are huge and usually engulf her hands, and there's fancy embroidery around the trim. Under the robe are well-worn knee-high boots, leggings, and a turtle neck under a long tunic, all in dark or greenish colors. She also has a decent sized pack because she travels so much and is used to camping outside. Normally, she also carries a pale gray-white walking stick to help her travel.
