Physical Appearance
Information:

Hair Color: Blond

Akira's hair is split into two different layers. The top layer cuts off to, about, the middle of her neck; this allows another blond layer that ends at her back's midsection. On her top layer of hair four strands - in front of either ear - are dyed a blue to replicate her eyes. Where the dyed strips begin are PokeBall (oddly colored black and white, unlike the natural colors) barrettes, holding the hair in place.

Eye Color: Crystal Blue

Her orbs seem to 'shift' with her emotion. When in a foul mood, the orbs lose their sheen and become a hollow, dull, color. As to the opposite effect happens when in a glad mood.

Height: 5' 1"
Build: About average for a woman her age.

Other Appearance Information:
Akira's skin is of a light complexion and, yet, does not appear to be a person whom falls ill easily.

The clothing Akira presents herself is average in this vast world. Typically, she is found wearing a white (jean type material) vest with black zippers running up both sides, beginning from where the shoulders down. A black and white, checkered, shirt rests tightly around the bosom and continues to appear larger as it descends to her hips. Her left wrist has an identical checkered style while her right wrist is completely bare.

Hidden underneath her shirt is a black belt, with her Pokeballs easily attached to it. White, tight appearing, slender jeans hug her body with ease. The jeans flare out at the bottom coming with connection of white ten-a-shoes. Said shoes a have a black outline of a Pokeball.

When out on the field, Akira carries a light backpack. In opposite of her outfit, her bag is black with a white Pokeball marking displaying vibrantly.

Information:

Personality:
Akira appears to be a gentle woman, despite the way she dresses. With her almost always holding onto an angel's smile, often she is mistaken for not being with Pravus. Within company - that lacks knowledge of Pravus - Akira puts on a educated, soft spoken, woman. Sugar coated words pour out of her mouth fluently. With all due respect, she appears to be quite the social butterfly.

However, that is all an act behind the mask - for she fakes emotions quite well. The said mask is similar to a thing layer of make-up almost insignificant but still there, hiding the truth within. Even with a Heavenly smile, the mind is as wicked as they come. As words come smoothly from her mouth the mind is cooking up schemes for using the person, or people, she is mingling with. Thoughts can vary - depending on her mood at the time - from a small tease to a full out scheme to get either money, Pokemon, or whatever she desires. In general, Akira has a tight, twisting, grip upon her sadistic nature.

Once again, though, Akira has a twist in her personality. Many not know it and she has yet to test to see how far this trait has tainted her mind. For it seems that Akira has a faint case of being a masochist. Mentioned already, Akira does not understand how much pain she actually tends to enjoy in such a way. Perhaps, she is quite scared of facing such a dilemma?

When on duty, or conducting a team, Akira gives that fake illusion of being sweet (for a few minutes, at least). Beyond that, far from it, my friends. She is as strict as they come, barking orders and putting grunts into their place. This woman appears as calm and collective as possible, being the thinker that she is, as she observes with deep care. Being the way she is, she lacks trust in the new recruits, for she knows not if they're rats. If a rat or not, Akira will be sweet to you then suddenly rip it all out from underneath her. After all, she believes she must keep up a small reputation for herself. Perhaps as an illusionist, who knows. Along with this act of "weeding out the rats" it displays her at most loyalty to Team Pravus.

Even though she is mainly cold, ruthless, and almost impossible to read, Akira does have a true nice side to her. Yet, this side is rarely ever seen, unless one takes the up most time to get to know her. Once the lock is broken and one gains her trust, people see Akira has a rather fun aura floating about her. She enjoys going out and just wondering anywhere her legs (or Pokemon) can take her. One finds her giving real smiles, not her fake ones she'll slip out in general public. Her true nature, which is hidden deep beneath the frozen heart, proves that she lacks a lot of trust since people end up betraying one another anyway.

*Note: Her nice maybe far different from another's version of nice. I mean, she'll probably still trip you down stairs, even if you're deemed her friend.

Her view on the war (age 15-27; how it changed her):
With the first sign of wars coming upon the land, Akira was like a typical teenager...lost in a sea of confusion. Many stories, coming from many sides, who could she honestly follow? Rumors seeped out like wild fire on the different groups that have rose to power over it. Then again, who said all those rumors were right? Who really started them? It was all but confusing for the teen. During the next year, her main concern was only that of her brother. Which, began to fade quickly when her worry came only to saving her own skin. Cruel, but it became her only truth.

Hitting seventeen that war had took it's tool on her attitude, making her believe she was hardly even alive. With lacking of trust into people - sometimes she doubted her own Pokemon team - she traveled only by herself. No one could be deemed an alley.

Her interest swept to Pravus, viewing some - what she assumed to be - team members swiftly taking down fools (whom only appeared to be insignificant, no members of the other 'teams'). Something sinister flicked within her, unlocking the sadistic side she hid beneath layers of emotion. This twist was a self discovery and she enjoyed the rush of life it gave. So much that she took on her goal; to receive membership into Pravus.

Now, being under the team, war is placed under her belt. She doesn't know if she fully likes it, or not, but all she knows is that it gives a thrill. Akira's willing to go, if her satisfaction is set and met with. In her own sense, she only views it as children fighting over candy. Minus the fact a mother intervenes and makes the kids share. Yet, she's willing to win that candy - every little piece at a time.

Basically stating, Akira takes interest into the war, but knows a lot will change with it. In a sense, neutral, but yet dark for enjoying the twisted sense of it.

History:
Before the birth of Akira, her parents had to meet. See, children, Akira's father was a Pokemon contest judge while her mother, whom acted on a low rating TV show, constantly entered contests. At first, the sparks didn't fly. In fact, Akira's mother often accused her father of voting higher on the other woman contestants due to them being "prettier". That lead only into a bitter rival of the two, grudgingly trying to prove the other one wrong.

Eventually, wills snapped on both adults with the upcoming Ultra Contest. With a dazzling display of her Espeon Akira's mother quickly placed first. Within the heart of Akira's father, something sparked and lit a fire deep within his heart. This woman...her passion, her determination, he just had to have her. Later that night, the two met under the stars and shared their first kiss. From there on the sparks rivaled fireworks that flash in the sky.

Enough of the parents, since two years after their marriage they had a miracle. Er, two miracles. Akira and her older twin, Kira, were brought into this vast world. Now we're on track...

Akira, like regular kids, began growing and exploring into everything. When she was five (and not making Kira attend tea parties) Akira tended to stumble into her mother's ribbons. Often she'd tie them in her blond hair and parade around the house. Her mother used to always laugh and began telling the many thrills she experienced during the spectacles. Being her age, Akira quickly went into her own fantasy of acting out contests. Shortly afterward, at six, she began watching them on television.

As she continue to grow, her love only increased for contests. Eventually, that lead into the basics of breeding: how to keep your Pokemon looking stunning, healthy, and over all find its inner strength. Once more she referred herself to television.

Finally, the big day came. It was her tenth birthday! Her journey could finally begin! But wait - one huge problem; KIRA! He was joining her on her travels. Great, just what she needed an older brother to boss her around! She went with him, however, to the Pokemon lab to receive his Treecko. The two quickly return to the house and as Kira began to pack up, Akira watched in envy. Something boiled deep within her that it just wasn't fair, he found the Pokemon he liked but she didn't!

That was when her mother called for her, to meet her in the parents' bedroom. Confused, Akira obeyed and wondered on in. To her surprise, Akira's mother held out a Pokeball. Within the Pokeball was none other then a Vulpix. With eyes as big as flying saucers, Akira took it with pride. The next day she and Kira ventured off.

Both twins traveled together for about two years. Being twelve they began to separate, natural for both twins. The two knew it was coming, their styles where growing a part and they felt as if they knew nothing of each other. Within a week after their twelfth birthday, the twins parted at a local Pokemon Center (after leaving a message for their parents of their actions). It was both a sorrow occasion and yet a new beginning. Rebirth came, but the two knew they'd support each other whenever they've came in contact again.

Years past with Akira and her team only growing stronger. She'd take the time out of her day to brush Gin, keeping her fur silky soft. Akira had entered a few contest, but officially hadn't ever won. She came close once, but never the full blow out she'd expected. Oh well, she refused to give in.

Once she hit eighteen, rumors spread out dimly about an organization looking for new recruits. Though eavesdropping was a bad habit, it proved to peek her interest. For, you see, over the course of the last six years - Akira's attitude had slowly molded into not caring. What she thought was a typical teenage theme, prove only to get worse as time passed. How she know that? When she slipped an egg out of the day care service and received her Mime Jr, that's how.

After another year, Akira finally tracked down whom she desired to find. A lone 'grunt' of Team Pravus. Constantly she poked at him, until finally she was given a dim chance. Now, standing years later, she's reached her current level...a lieutenant.

Characters Pokemon:

Name: Gin
Gender: Female
Species: Vulpix
Age: Unknown (middle-age perhaps)
Level: 40
Personality: The most loyal Pokemon that Akira has. Gin will never take any crap that is thrown at her Master. The biggest pet peeve of Gin would be people mocking that her name means "silver" and she's nowhere near a silver color. This Vulpix is deemed as quite stubborn, and yet wise for it's age (that is unknown). She seems not to enjoy being told to evolve by other Pokemon. Though, she is one to dream about picturing herself with nine tails. Never the less, she won't change unless Akira wants her too. Gin has a habit of wondering around, next to Akira, outside her Pokeball. Not only that, but she tends to gaze off into the distance a lot. It will be noted that Gin has a huge problem with Kiba, she is constantly down talking him. Many may see this as 'jealousy' since Kiba is Akira's second strongest Pokemon.

Attacks:

• Fire Spin
  
• Fire Blast (TM)
  
• Ember
  
• Overheat (TM)
  
• Will-o-Wisp
  
• Quick Attack

Name: Kiba
Gender: Male
Species: Mightyena
Age: Unknown (middle-age perhaps)
Level: 39
Personality: The only male on Akira's Pokemon team. Kiba is labeled as a 'suck up'. In reality he has so much devotion to his master, whom he deems as "Lady" a lot. Much like how a dog is "man's best friend" is pretty much how he is. He is the second strongest Pokemon in Akira's team, making him quite the rival for Gin. Which, Gin is constantly down talking him and causes him to lose his temper. After a bit, though, he begins to regain his composure and gives his respects to Gin. Thus irritates Gin, causing another small argument. Even though they tend to argue, the two top Pokemon have an odd respect for each other.

Attacks:

• Bite
  
• Take Down
  
• Strength (HM)
  
• Iron Tail (TM)
  
• Sucker Punch

Name: Shinji
Gender: Female
Species: Aipom
Age: Unknown (possible teens?)
Level: 37
Personality: Shinji is quite the troublemaker. Constantly dashing around, similar to Mimic, performing little shows for people. These shows, however, are met to distract while she swipes whatever she wants. Some people state this is thanks to her name being "Shinji" which the name seems popular among male manga characters. However, that does not faze this little Aipom at all. Lately she's been taking Mimic 'under her wing' and teaching her the ways of 'performance'. Shinji sees Mimic as the ultimate tool for getting fools - er people - distracted while she lets her hand swipe what she wants. Like partners, she splits whatever they got 50/50. Despite these two are getting in trouble, they're quite loyal to their Master. Plus, Gin seems to have a harsh habit of scolding them and harshly putting them both into place.

Attacks:

• Iron Tail (TM)
  
• Brick Break (TM)
  
• Nasty Plot
  
• Swift
  
• Double Hit

Name: Lilac
Gender: Female
Species: Beautifly
Age: Unknown
Level: 33
Personality: Lilac received her nickname due to the fact she adores flowers (much like she is supposed too), but mainly lilacs. Like spring, Lilac is sweet as can be. Often she flutters about, watching like a mother of the other Pokemon in the team. She is all to calm, and quite the observer. Once in battle, however, Lilac seems to take on a different attitude. She's not afraid to take on anyone, anything. Yet, she becomes the neutering type right after the battle.

Attacks:

• Mega Drain
  
• Gust
  
• Silver Wind
  
• Sunny Day (TM)
  
• Solar Beam (TM)

Name: Mimic
Gender: Female
Species: Mime Jr.
Age: Unknown (assuming a young kid)
Level: 30
Personality: A bubbly child, pretty much states it all. Mimic is constantly running around, hyper active as can be. She seems to laugh, or mock, anyone and anything. Her name comes from the classic form to mimic others. Yet, Mimic is too busy dashing around HQ and getting into mischief these days. When caught, or in trouble, she tends to attempt a "puppy eye face" to guilt people out of it. Mimic has found a huge liking to sweet foods and is constantly chasing those whom possess such sugary goodness. Mimic seems to be a social butterfly to loads of people, often performing tricks to distract trainers of various types. With this stated, it proves she has an extreme close connection to (not only Akira) but .

*Note: Mimic has strong taste for Rare Candies. So, beware!

Attacks:

• Role play
  
• Psychic (TM)
  
• Psybeam
  
• Hidden Power (TM)
  
• Tickle

Role Playing
Sample:

"Ah~" arms launched upward, allowing the user to stretch. A dry, fake, giggle echoed down the hallways. Mixed with footfalls of the trainer, eight padded paw feet and flapping of wings played in rhythm with each said tap. "Another day, another mission, another act of weedin' them out~ Too bad those runts passed. Pity."

Silence. Until one voice, weakly, spoke up.⌈Perhaps, you shouldn't have been so tough on the poor lad...⌋

With such words, soothing like rain, came a twist in attitude. The once good mood twisted into a fierce expression. Pale, pink, lips began to frown in an instant. Crystal orbs hollowed as a voice, laced with pure venom (yet attempting to be sweet as sugar), rang out,"What makes you say such a thing, Lilac?"

Wings almost went to a dead stop, as hesitation swept through veins in mere seconds. Iced pools continued their gaze as another hiss came roughly about,"Well? Please explain this to me, Lilac, for I do not understand."

Awkward silence begin it's taint on the air, mixing with the hysteria of the poor Beautifly. Finally a bold, daring, snarl echoed into the air,⌈My lady, dare not to fret over such words. Lilac lacks common knowledge, she lacks to see the loyalty you placed within the team.⌋

⌈Pipe down, Kiba, you're only say such things since you're kissing up.⌋ a harsh sneer exited the Vulpix' 'lips'. A fierce growl, following a howl, echoed as the Mightyena began his protest -- only to be ignored! Fangs were bared as Kiba lay witness to Gin 'taking a seat' on the cold, tiled, floor and simply twisting her head in the opposite direction.

⌈Getting upset means strictly my point, here: The truth hurts. It's like rubbing salt in a wound, it stings and brings one to tears.⌋ A harsh glare was directed to the wolf-like Pokemon, ⌈Now, dare question me again?⌋

The growling dulled, bickering put to an end. Each Pokemon in the party could only focus ahead. In which, shock struck them all in the face when realizing their Master was already gone!

⌈LADY AKIRA!⌋ Kiba.
⌈Master!⌋ Gin.
⌈Miss Takara!⌋ Lilac.

Thus they were off, hoping to catch their master before her dorm door was shut. Said Pokemon continued in confusion, hysteria, and letting panic rule over their judgment that they all but past their Master. The trainer's lips spread into a wide smirk, watching as they grew desperate each passing minute. She's always wondered what caused her sadistic nature. Then again, not knowing was all the fun. Never the less, she dimly chuckled as her team dashed around another corner. My, how they were adorable when frightened of any punishment she may have in stored.

"Entertaining, they are," a small ruffle of fabric as Akira position against a wall. The smile soon faded, as a thought struck her mind. "Ah, that's right..."

"Another year," a voice drew out, dull resembling a sigh. "Wonder what he'd say if he saw me now, after all these years of being separated?"

Depression was not her thing, which resulted into the absents of feeling sorrow. With a force push off the wall, the trainer clicked her tongue off her teeth, and moved forward. The future was the only place she had to look forward too, no time wasting over forgotten souls of her past. Even if that soul was one half of her.
[Take it as the day she turned 27]
