Viv Sunrise

[Liz]

Name: Violet Vivacity 'Viv' Sunrise
[that's what hippie parents will do to you. Viv therefore chooses to introduce herself as Viv or Viva Devlin - her fathers's actual last name before converting to hippie-ism.]
Sex: Female
Age: Twenty-one
Birthplace: Fortree City, Hoenn

Physical:
Viv inherited, much to her dismay, mostly her father's genes when it comes to her physical appearance (with the exception of she having obvious girly parts...obviously). You see, Viv's father perfectly fits the stereotypical images people have of a hippie: tall, slouching, skinny, unwashed and a crackhead. Okay, so maybe the last two traits cannot be passed on to offspring. Nevertheless, Viv stands quite tall, easily reaching a height of 183 centimeters (roughly six feet, give or take) when fully erect, emphasis on 'fully erect' here. Another thing her father passed on to Viv was his almost unhealthy stance, the kind of slouch that gives you back problems by just looking at it. While Viva has worked hard on trying to adopt a more positive stance for her back, she rarely actually manages to hold on to said stance; the smallest distraction usually causes the girl to lose focus and relax her body, causing her to slouch again.

While not having been accused of being anorexic, Viva definately has something of a skinny build. Because of her parents disapproving of any kind of advanced machinery, like say, a scale, Viv has no idea what exactly she weighs, but it can't really be much. Lately however, having moved out of her parents' house, Viv has begun working out and has since developed some muscle on her bones; subtle lines on her pale skin hint at their presence. Still being on the skinny side somewhat, Viva's female features appear a little underdeveloped. She has curves, sure, but her breasts are still quite small and she doesn't exactly have nice hips or a tight butt. Yet. She hopes.

For the rest of her, Viva seems to resemble her mother in a 'we so could've been sisters' kind of way. Viv has rather sharp features and a somewhat heartshaped face with quite prominent cheekbones. Her nose is rather sharp and pointy, set above a pair of thin lips that have a natural pinkish hue to them. Viv's eyes are almond-shaped and nearly always narrowed at something, suspicion playing in her dark blue eyes. Her thin eyebrows are almost constantly pointing down for the same reason; the girl just can't seem to adopt an expression that would make her look like she's trying to smile, let alone actually smiling and being happy.

Viv's chestnut brown hair is of medium lenght, falling just past her shoulders while the bangs that frame her face are relatively shorter ending a centimeter or so above her chin. Most of the time Viv lets her hair 'flare' in the back by covering her hands in gel and going crazy trying to make her hair stand up, and styles her bangs in such a way that the left part of her face is mostly covered. She seems to have drawn inspiration from the emo-culture not only for her hairstyle, but for her clothing too. Viva likes her clothes tight, black, and covered in accessories and other unneeded customizations. Most commonly Viva is found wearing long tank tops with stripes that alternate between dark gray and black, a black hoodie with neon green accents worn over it and usually a pair of dark blue or black skinny jeans. Viv also seems to favour boots over any other kind of shoes; her favorite pair are black, sturdy boots covered in roughly half a centimeter of hardened mud and other kinds of gunk. I'll spare you guys on the accessories.

Mental:
To put it plainly, Viva is a rather... displeased individual. Everything and everyone is out to get her, irony is her arch-nemesis. The fact that her parents pretty much ruined her life for her by naming her Violet Sunrise is probably the prime example and main reason why Viv is found frowning and swearing like a sailor most of the time. Though admittedly, the latter she really does just for kicks. There is in fact little else that makes Viv feel good beside cussing and swearing to relieve herself of stress or sometimes just plain boredom.

Most obviously, Viv isn't exactly the most social girl around. Rarely does she speak to others, unless the situation absolutely requires her to do so, and even then she's snappish, to-the-point and, well, rather rude. She prefers being alone anyway, so she can do exactly what she wants without other people interfering; if there's one thing Viv hates most in the world, it's people telling her what to do. The girl has a little bit of an authority issue. Things better ought to go her way or the highway. And the highway is not reccommended.

Viv isn't much of a teamplayer, which is probably why she is more interested in extreme sports rather than soccer or, well... I don't know, volleyball. Because of her parents being all 'protect the Wailords' or 'save Petalburg Woods' when she was growing up, Viv spent more time in and getting through the wilderniss than she spent indoors. If there's one thing the young woman is thankful of her parents for, it's definately letting her run around the forest or on the beach; through these experiences did Viva pick up on extreme sports such mountainbiking and surfing, to name a few. Extreme sports involving Pokémon weren't added to the girl's list of activities until she had left her parents' house; while very eager to try her hand on such things, Pokémorph training included, Viv's mother and father forbade her to do so because they felt Pokémon and Pokémorphs were abused and exploited. Oh well... hippies, eh?

Despite most of the time acting the part of the uncaring badass, a hint of her parents' love for nature did rub off onto Viv. The girl loves being outside and is incredibly fascinated by plant- and animal life. The rumor of humanoid-like creatures with Pokémon features appearing in Faero almost automatically caught Viv's attention and she's incredibly excited about traveling there and studying them. Hiding the fact she is quite well, too. Still, she couldn't really care less about the institutes already settled in Faero, wheras her parents would instantly jump on the barricades to protest against organizations as Aion Technologies for example.

Because of having spent most of her life outside and homeschooled by her parents, Viv is a bit undereducated compared to other 'normal' people her age. She has trouble reading and writing because her mother and father simply had different priorities when it came to teaching their daughter ("Do you have any idea how many innocent trees gave their life to make that notebook?! Reading and writing is MURDER!"). It doesn't exactly mean that Viv is a dumb little hippie, however. Most of her knowledge comes from experience anyway, and she is quite capable at using said intelligence to her advantage, especially in battles.

While being quite competitive and confident of her own skill, Viv is an incredibly sore loser. Of course, it couldn't possibly have been her fault she lost. She has amazing logic and skill, after all! No, her loss and pretty much every kind of bad thing that happened to her can be scientifically blamed on someone else. It isn't highly uncommon for Viv to throw a fit after a loss, the girl being rather prone to dropping an F-bomb in such cases, blaming everyone but herself for her failure. She's probably in denial, the poor thing.

History: Edward Devlin had been but a simple police officer patrolling around Slateport City when he first met Roxanne Spencer, and their first encounter hadn't exactly been a plesant one. Roxanne, known by others at that time as Honesty Sunrise, was a part of a hippie protest group trying to break into the local shipyard, claiming the ships built there disrupted the natural ecological order of the sea and harmed the Pokémon swimming in it. Edward had the honour of arresting the woman he would later marry, and after Honesty had her bail paid, Edward found and followed her, interested in the things she and the group she lived with did.

One thing led to another, and roughly a year after their initial encounter Edward quit his job to be with Honesty and become a part of her merry gang of hippies. He ditched his name in favour of another, naming himself Ocean Sunrise after the place he and Honesty first met, and traveled with the group all around Hoenn to fight for their cause. Along the way, Honesty became pregnant with Ocean's child, leading the two to settle down in Fortree City. There, in a treehouse of their very own did Honesty give birth to her daughter and only child; Violet Vivacity Sunrise.

Violet, or Viv as her parents affectionately called their girl, was raised on the road. The group her parents had lived with happily accepted the young girl and cared for her, and Viv loved her big family, not knowing any better than having six mommies and daddies caring for her and living in the wild instead of in an actual home. The girl was 'homeschooled' by the group, being taught the importance and beauty of nature and Pokémon rather than learning how to read or write. Those things were none of Viv's concern, anyway; she loved living outside and playing with Pokémon. Why read a book when the awnsers to every question possible could be found right outside?

The years passed. Viv grew older and wiser, not being able but notice that people in the cities they passed led completely different lives from her and the group. They were laughed at, shunned, because they weren't 'normal'. But what was normal, then? Curious about city life, stimulated by the hormones raging through her developing body, Viv became a rather rebellious teenage girl. She wanted to be normal, damn it, not a stupid hippie camping out in a cave or a shelter made of leaves and shit! Much against her parents' wishes, Viv began to stray from the group and their beliefs more and more and spent most of her days wandering around the towns and cities the group passed. Finally, around her eighteenth birthday, the age the cityfolks deemed her to be a legal adult, Viv broke her ties to the group and her parents completely, moving back to Fortree City. After all, her parents never stayed at their treehouse there, so it was pretty much the perfect place to stay. Better yet, it was completely free!

Viva spent the following years catching up on her education. She took a part-time job at the local PokéMart stocking up and used the money she earned there to pay for her education. Once she felt she had a basic grasp of reading and writing, she quit her school and continued to teach herself, leaving her with more money to spend on food and even save up for later use. Of course, she had no education to speak of, so her future looked rather bleak, but Viv held her head up, firmly believing that she would get her big break someday. She was a few weeks shy of turning 21 when her parents returned to Fortree City. While initially being happy to see them again - whether they had basically ruined her life or not, they were still her parents - that quickly faded; Ocean and Honesty had completely lost interest in their daughter and had only returned to Fortree to pack up supplies for their journey to Faero, where they would protest against the shameless exploit of Pokémorphs.

Having heard of the Cataclysm and the strange, humanoid creatures appearing way before her parents arrived in Fortree City, along with the possibility of this being the big break she'd hoped for all those years, Viv decided to follow her parents to Faero. Not to back up and support their cause, hell no; rather, to fight and train these Pokémorphs and earning a shitload of money doing so. She'd teach those damn hippies.

Pokémorph: Err... uhm... Sentret.
