 Age: 24

 Ability: Fur Coat
 Special Traits: White on her chin, belly and beneath her tail, all connecting. Darker hands and feet. 
 Move 1: Play Rough [ ]
 Move Power:  
 Move Description

  • The user plays rough with the target and attacks it. This may also lower the target's Attack stat.
    • [Using a sparkly blue cloud of dust, Journey masks herself, beating on her opponent with teeth, claws and fists.]
Learning:
  • Play Rough was developed at a young age as a meek attempt to defend herself when things wen't to far with bullies. Back when she was younger, the move was stunted and wasn't a very good form of deference, but more of a reflex. Later it was shown some development while she was living on the streets and was faced with more threats and needed some kind of boost while hunting rats or birds in allyways. 

---


 Move 2:
Nasty Plot [ ]
 Move Power: 
 Move Description

  • The user stimulates its brain by thinking bad thoughts. This sharply raises the user's Sp. Atk stat.
    • [Jorueny thinks deeply about a sinister, dark, edgy poem that will bring her opponent to tears, boosting her Sp. Attack]
Learning:
  • Again, developed at a younger age, Nasty Plot was formed while Journey would slip into deep thought, especially in desperate situations trying to come up with ways to defend herself to get away from bullies and other threats. She didn't realize she knew the move in question until much later when she had acquired a special attack move where she could truly feel the power boost. It later got slow development while she'd play with her other moves in more deserted parts of the city. 

---


 Move 3:
 Dark Pulse [ ]
 Move Power  
 Move Description

  • The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. This may also make the target flinch.
    • [Using the power of dark poetry, Journey lets out a pulse of negative shadow energy from the depths of her black heart threw feet. The energy flashes across the ground, potentially causing her appoint to flinch.]
Learning:
  • Her strongest and latest developed move, Journey was taught by some fellow dark types she'd met while staying in parts of Lumiose more inhabited by other homeless people. Although she'd only got the basics down from them, she later started to play with the move more herself more for entertainment and how aesthetically pleasing the appearance of the move was, than anything else. It took her longer to control than her other moves, but eventually she'd gotten the hang of it and would use it to stun rats and birds while hunting for a quick shitty meal on the streets. 

Personality
 Nature/Characteristic: Quirky/Strong Willed 

+Outspoken +Creative +Deep +Honest /Blunt /Complex /Passionate -Harsh -Judgmental -Opinionated -Oblivious


        Giovanni, or as she'd call herself- "Dark Journey", is an odd and stand out individual who does everything in her power to have her voice heard. Shes a woman of many opinions and isn't past being forceful and pushy when it comes to those said opinions, most of which are political. This attitude tends to make befriending mon difficult for Journey, her stubborn attitude tends to cause arguments, though her fairly calm and dismissive attitude tends to let her slip away before any kind of fight can break out. Journey can be a bit harsh when she lets herself get fired up in an argument, shes very good at defending her beliefs, even on the fly shes a good quick thinker who always seems to have something to back herself up with, although this can be a problem at times. Although Journey is good at arguing- sometimes she can go to far, getting a bit snappish when people aggressively don't agree with her- she never raises her voice but she can be rather insulting, and that's gotten her into a couple tight situations in the past.

        Despite seeming dumb, Journey is very cleaver and is a very thought out person, even if some of the things she says can be rather... bizarre. At times she'll get caught up in her own weird conspiracy theories about the government, but aside from that shes actually very good at strategizing, forming quick plans and is very knowledgeable about surviving on the streets. To go with that smart mind, Journey is also very creative, mostly with writing. She enjoys poetry a little too much, often attending poetry nights at bars in the cities, presenting herself as a dark edgy artist who's seen the darker side of life. She tends to be very pessimistic, both in her writing and in general- expressing a lot of distrust for other people, strong political opinions, and just... generally over the top edgy topics. She enjoys being able to tell the story of her life threw her writing, its freeing for her even if it can be a bit embarrassing to listen to. 

        Finally, do to Journeys upbringing she has bad trust issues and some self esteem problems. Although her self esteem is slowly building itself back up, thanks to her time in Lumiose with her sister, her trust issues haven't improved much at all. Journey expects the worst from almost everyone she meets, so she makes an effort to judge other people before they can judge her. Its turned into a game of get them before they get me that shes picked up after years of bullying, though when she first meets people she'll tend to keep to herself, just also paying close attention to the others mannerisms and the things they say. If she deems them the enemy, she'll either be snappy with them or avoid them, it all depends on what they do and how much she doesn't like them.
        In the end, Journey likes to present herself as someone who's deep and respectable, but tends only to achieve the first of the two. Although shes not necessarily out right mean, she can be hard to get along with, so lets just hope she manages to meet the right people.

        The day the kitten was born was a dark one to behold- a storm raged on while the lights in the hospital rooms flickered menacingly. It was clear from that day forward that, the Meowth granted the name Giovanni was far different than anyone could have expected.

        The day Giovanni was the first time she met her biological mother, and the last day she'd ever see her. Her mother in question being rather poor, young, without a father in the pitcher, and extremely unprepared to raise a child, she decided to leave the poor Meowth up for adoption. Unfortunately for Giovanni, fate did not have good plans for her, as from the week she'd been born forward Giovanni was caught in the foster system. Between the ages of 1 and 5, things went fairly smoothly, she'd been with the same family for awhile at that point. She was a quiet child, enjoyed drawing and keeping to herself. She'd enjoyed her caretaker and had believed that was her genuine family for awhile, until she unfortunately experienced her first move.

        When Giovanni began her first grade, everything went down hill fast. Not only was she thrown into a new home full of new children, majority being older than her, and having swapped schools, but she'd also found herself in a tight spot with some bullies- and it didn't end just at school. Her new foster parents were much harsher and tended to be verbally abusive with not just her but all the children in the home. That attitude had also rubbed off on some of the other children, making them loud and mean as a way to give themselves some form of power over the younger kids.

        All of this horrible treatment continued as the years went by and Giovanni moved from home to home. Some had been worse, her finding herself dealing with physical abuse both at school and home. Do to the treatment she had endured her whole life, Journey stayed quiet for a very long time, never being one of stand up to any kind of authority or anyone bigger than her. The only release she had was a small notebook she used as a diary, but rather than just writing about her life, she'd write small poems every day to vent her emotions through. It was the one escape she had from the life she was forced to live, the poetry unity she had in grade 4 was honestly a life saver for the kitten.

        While she wrote she came up with an alternate persona for herself that she'd call "Dark Journey"- it was a much bolder and free version of herself... she'd draw little pictures of herself involved in dark edgy outfits, always alone but with a smile on her face. this Dark Journey was a hero to her, and she aspired to be her some day, even if the idea intimidated her. 

        And then one day, a phone call came.

        Just a month or two after Giovanni had turned 12 she found out that she'd been discovered by her biological father living in Kalos who never knew she existed until recently. This filled the kitten will a mixture of hopefulness and dread. On one hand she'd... finally been adopted? Someone finally wanted her in their life? Someone Wanted to take care of her? But on the other, she didn't know this man... he'd never been in her life before... he didn't know she existed, and not only that but she'd be moving again, this time to a whole new region. Everything was changing so fast, but she forced herself to swallow her fears threw her tears and accept her new life.. 

        To her delight, things were much nicer from the very start. She couldn't really find it in herself to like her.... "father", but something really stood out to her when she arrived. She had an older half sister? Wary at the start, she wasn't sure how to feel about Blanchefleur, but after a couple days she at the very least felt safe around her. As time went off, the almost overbearingly friendly sister was very welcome for Giovanni, her presence actually helping her loosen up quite a bit about her poetry and dreams of turning a new leaf. Eventually, the companionship of her sister helped her evolve when she was 15, really setting her new life in motion.

        Evolution was the final push Giovanni really needed. Her sister taught her how to be more confident in her art, she'd began to speak out more, and now she was finally evolved... And after a little wardrobe update, she was finally.... Dark Journey, or at least close to being Dark Journey. There was still some hurtles to over come, but she was on her way, and quickly. 

        Although things had gone smoothly with her new family thus far, she still couldn't help but resent her father. She didn't exactly hate him, he was far better than any of her past "families", but she hadn't known him for so long. How could he have a child with someone and just not know she existed? As much as she wanted to somehow find a way to look past that she just... couldn't. There was a strong detachment between them, but at the very least she appreciated his attempts to be apart of her life. If anything, Giovanni was just a bit stand offish with him as she would be with any of he old foster families- she did do her best to show some level of respect though.

        As Giovanni got older, she'd finally graduated and her older sister had moved away to join the circus. This left Giovanni in a tight spot.. she was alone again and wasn't sure where to start with her own life. She had no desire to go to college, or any spisific careers she really aspired to go into outside of maybe being an author?  She was stuck and for awhile just started working any job she could get. Working was nice, she tended to get odd jobs in small shops around the city, making new friends slowly. She'd jumped jobs a couple times till she finally felt she had the means to move out.

        Upon moving out Giovanni moved into a home that 5 other girls were splitting the rent in. It was nice for a month until she'd slowly learn to despise the much louder girls who were all far closer to each other than she was to them. Eventually she stopped coming home during the days and would mostly use the home as a place to sleep at night, and eventually she'd just start sleeping on the streets when she didn't have the energy to go back. Soon enough, after been caught sleeping on the street, her current- and much harsher boss fired her. 

        Ever since then Journey had been homeless... but the experience itself had been eye opening for her. She started attending poetry nights every night- the owner often letting her sleep there, after Blan got back shes start crashing with her, and she'd attend little free events to get small snacks while no one was looking. Although it wasn't the best life, she... was oddly enjoying it? It felt nice to be free and in charge of her own life completely. Kind of... 

        Something did weigh on her though. Even though she strived to be this... Dark Journey, she'd now call herself, she still felt as if she wasn't meeting her own expectations. She'd kept to herself for so long but the changes in the world really were pulling at her mind. Moves... Moves becoming illegal... It was a weird spot for her, not being much of a move user herself, but that didn't mean she couldn't believe other people _should be allowed_. That was it... she BELIEVED in that- and what she'd been silent about it for how long? It didn't really cross her mind until things started to go south? How they hell was she suppose to be Dark Journey, the aspiring poet who would never stand on the side lines but instead Fight for what she believed in. 

        For weeks this pulled at her brain until she seen her phone go off- an email from.. a Mr. Cool? The name didn't seem to phase her, but the contents... 

        Clutching her fists, there was no hesitation- she knew what she had to do. She was going to change the world.

        Her Dark Journey had finally begun.
