☆ Desdemona Emrys Pine ☆ (Goes by her middle name)

♫ Age ♫ :: 16

♫ Grade ♫ :: 10th/Crescent Moon

♫ Gender ♫ :: Female

♫ Height ♫ :: 4'10

♫ Weight ♫ :: 105lb

♫ Species ♫ :: Woobat

♫ Nature ♫ :: Naive

♫ Characteristic ♫ :: Somewhat of a clown

♫ Ability ♫ :: Unaware

☆ Personality ☆
+ Spirited: When Emrys gets into something, be it a book series, a song, or a hobby, she goes hard and makes it a priority for a time. While her tastes shift, her favorite topics always get more attention, and she'll cheer loud and proud for what she loves. She's always ready to join an activity, and actually enjoys pep rallies and sports events where she can whoop and applaud for the school's representatives.

+ Gregarious: The woobat almost always has a joke or smile at the ready, especially if she's meeting someone new or finds out someone is upset. She likes to crack puns and dole out compliments until she hears the subject snort in laughter- she does well in groups, especially in lively chats.

+ Trusting: She hasn't had much reason to mistrust others aside from fiction/news stories describing what folks are capable of and her moms' hyperbole- as such, she prefers not to judge people on their first impressions and assumes they're good until proven otherwise. Emrys is on the naive side, and considers new people potential allies/friends. Her blind trust in others has cost her family a credit card since she left home, but she likes to go with the flow and refuses to shun anyone for artificial reasons.

+/- Sincere: Emrys finds lying and airs to be tiresome; she'd rather be herself than try too hard to appeal to specific people. She treats most people the same way and acts on her instincts rather than following social rules; this can be nice in the sense that she's not swayed by materialism or popularity, but it does lead to awkwardness when she misses social cues or says something well-meaning out of context. While she may tease, it's not in a spiteful or discriminatory way- she just likes to point out things she thinks are endearing and silly (the issue being whether it's interpreted as such in the setting, as she doesn't pay close attention to the social climate of particular events).

+/- Outspoken: The only time Emrys is truly quiet is when she's focusing hard on something, which is rare outside of books. She dislikes the quiet and will find something to do to fill the silence (humming/singing, talking, tapping, munching a snack, pulling out her accordion in the hallway-). It can be rough in the library some days when she's torn between keeping the peaceful calm and tapping out a beat on the shelves. The same is true of complacency; if she decides that something is bad or unfair, she will tell anyone relevant (and possibly just random people) as much. On the opposite side, when she's excited or happy about something she will ramble on about it for as long as she's given, sometimes muttering to herself about it when no one's around to listen, and she's always ready to stand up for her and others' rights.

- Impulsive: Emrys didn't get out much growing up. As such, most of her desire to run and play was projected onto stuffed toys and imaginary games with her house-staff. Now that she's living in a dorm and being as independent as possible, she doesn't like to bother with debates over the best option or making plans far ahead. If she wakes up at 3 am craving cake, she'll find a way to get some, and if the zoo is calling her, she'll pop on something comfy and go. This can make her a difficult person to handle, as she tends to go off on tangents when a topic or snack comes to mind, and it can make for poor choices made in haste (like ordering avocado chai because it sounded interesting or playing a bop-it for 3 hours instead of studying Geometry).

- Oblivious: In hand with her sunny naivete, Emrys isn't very perceptive when it comes to other people's feelings and motives (or her own on occasion). She doesn't process subtleties well and needs a metaphoric neon sign to read emotions- often if she suspects something besides contentment (which takes a bit more than hinting) she'll try to pester until it's explained, but this can backfire when she completely mistakes one mood for another or processes the situation out loud when it was implied to be a private issue. She also has a poor sense of time and without her cell phone alarms is late for most things, and tends to daydream in class.

- Impatient: Along with her impulsiveness, Emrys doesn't like to be kept waiting for things she believes are coming. Waiting is one of the few things that makes her clearly nervous, as being let down is hard to fight with just optimism. She anticipates events, meals, outings, and purchases from the time they're planned to the payoff, and what-ifs sneak into her thoughts when she can't actively influence what's coming. (Not a fan of the Schrodinger's Cat phenomena.) She finds wait-periods interminable, and will fidget, tap, hum, and groan until she gets some kind of update.

☆ Abridged Background ☆
Emrys, originally named Cecilia, was adopted at the age of 1. She had been born premature with several health issues, and the wealthy Goldenrod power couple who took her in also took on the financial burden of her medical bills and raising a blind baby. Georgia and Odessa Pine loved their daughter, whom they named Desdemona Emrys, but saw parenting as more of a project alongside their business than a full-time deal. They sheltered the girl, and had her home-schooled by tutors and cared for by nannies and doctors. Odessa's overprotective nature meant that 6 days a week when she and her wife were traveling on business, there were at least 5 people in the house to care for their 'fragile' daughter.

Emrys, who really had no say in how much monitoring she would have, spent most of her free time playing pretend with her nanny, Joseph, or learning classical instruments. She wasn't permitted to go outside much due to the possibility of allergic reactions and other people's bacteria, so she had books about nature read to her and talked with the gardener for hours on end. Turning away from classical piano when she discovered punk rock, Emrys picked up the guitar and accordion and started mimicking songs she liked; she played a concert for her moms when they were celebrating their 15th anniversary, sticking to their tastes, but built a repertoire of rock. As she grew into a teenager, Emrys grew out of her asthma and developed a stronger immune system, though she was still petite. She worked to put on a bit of muscle and prove she could handle herself, though her first attempt at a mostly independent outing backfired spectacularly. She wanted to play her music at a real concert, or join a school band, but her moms were still set on her getting a GED through homeschooling.

Eventually she was able to secure a deal; if she won 1st place in a Young Musicians' festival without incident, she could apply to any classy/private high school she chose. Things went well, and she produced a pre-filled application for V-A, demanding the right to attend if it were accepted. Her mothers conceded on the condition that her dorm have space for a seeing-eye pokemon should need arise and she go on two tours/orientations before tuition was paid to learn the layout and be sure of her choice. Emrys' moms actually attended the farewell party they planned for her, and Odessa traveled with her to set up her dorm space (and triple check all the security measures and disability resources just to be sure she didn't need to petition for permission to hire her daughter a personal assistant).

☆ Moveset ☆
- Confusion: The target is hit by a weak telekinetic force. This may also confuse the target
- Assurance: If the target has already taken some damage in the same turn, this attack's power is doubled.
- Heart Stamp: The user unleashes a vicious blow after its cute act makes the target less wary. This may also make the target flinch.
- Attract: If it is the opposite gender of the user, the target becomes infatuated and less likely to attack.

☆ Idol Information ☆
Planned Stage Name: Demo

Instrument(s) Played: Voice (soprano), Accordion, Guitar

Signature Color: Charcoal Grey

Inspiration: Emrys became personally interested in music after learning to play an alternative rock song from the radio. She didn't really know what idols were when she decided to become a performer, but was inspired by a mixed idol group she met through a VIP pass who encouraged her to stick with music despite her parents' worries about making a living.

Weapon: A collapsible war hammer.

☆ Fun Facts ☆
- She loves sweets but was never really allowed in the kitchen near fire and knives so she has no idea how to cook- people who bake/buy her cakes or boba tea own her uwus- especially if they let her defy her braces and have tapioca or toffee.

- Emrys tends to wear sleep masks to protect her eyes from UV damage and because she's been teased in the past for her spacey appearance. She has the one shown above in grey, blue, and yellow, and a couple with textured star and moon print. For special occasions she has yellow tinted glasses.

- Despite not being able to see them, Emrys collects items and clothes by color based on what people associate them with. She leans toward grey and yellow for rain clouds and the sun, and throws in a rainbow or two to switch it up.

- Her typical off-campus outfits usually include high-waisted jeans, fingerless gloves, and men's tanktops or crop tops. In colder weather she prefers oversized varsity jackets.

- She doesn't like to wear shoes, preferring to feel the ground where she's walking. That said, wet socks gross her out so she always carries a spare pair.

- She has a large collection of braille and portable audiobooks in her dorm that she refused to leave back home with her parents. Despite that, she visits the library regularly to check out stacks more.

- She's heteroromantic and demi- or asexual (She's not entirely sure yet as she hasn't been that close with someone/dated.)

- She needs a tutor for Geometry (and possibly English) but hasn't admitted so yet because she's trying studying techniques she got off the internet. She's actually great at calculating statistical and chemical equations, but has difficulties with shapes and angles, memorization, or showing her work in proofs.

- On special occasions she goes to the salon or asks a friend to paint her nails galaxy.
