About her appearance: Dahlia is very finicky about her appearance. She will never go outside if she doesn't look presentable. She dyes her hair and changes it's style often, like braiding it or straightening it.  She is very self-aware of the yellow ring on her forehead, and hides it to the best of her abilities.


Personality:
+ Hard-working | + Creative | = Stubborn | = Proud | - Sassy | - Bold |

Dahlia will never stray from her work once she sits down to do something. Sketching, detailing, sewing, anything. You can not tak her out of the trance she is in while she does the things she love. Most of her inspiration comes from other pokemon species, and you can really see that in the creativeness of her designs.

This Umbreon is a proud lady, and you'd do well to remember so! She's defensive and looks at her work like their the most valuable piece of art. In heated arguments she's as stubborn as a mule, and will stand by her arguments even if they end up being wrong. She's always right, even if she's wrong, she's right.

Dahlia is also not afraid telling people what she feels. If she's thinks your style is bizzare, or ugly, she will say it. This is not to be rude, or be mean, she's just brutuallt honest. She's not afraid to go all sass on you. You'll easily hear when her modd has change, as her catchphrase will go from "love" to "hun".

Even after all this, Dahlia is not all bad. She's actually really friendly and outgoing. She lived in a big city, at the heart of the Sinnoh region, and worked at places where she had to be quite the people-person.



History: 
Chapter one: Shame.
She grew up in Floaroma Town and Dahlia's childhood was pretty normal. She had a few friends, one of them being her older sister, and did well in school. Well, up untill the point where her family was decieved by her father. Her mother was a friendly Leafeon and her father a respected and trusted Espeon, or so they thought he was. When it turned out that Dahlia's father was actually a ditto, their whole family was shamed. The town lost their trust in the Lorette family. They had to move.
"Why do we have to leave dad behind?" Dahlia looked up at her mother with round eyes. The Leafeon, teary-eyed, continued packing. "Dad has done something, and he can not be forgiven." Dahlia was still confused. " Why not?" she asked. "Because, love, he lied to us! He lied to you, to your sister, to me..." her mother stopped packing and fell to her knees. With loud sobs, her head fell into her hands. Dahlia walked slowly closer to her. "It's okay mom, you still got us. " she hugged her mother tightly. "We are going to take care of you, just like dad did. You'll see!"

Chapter two: A new home.
During their move to Hearthome city, Dahlia's sister evolved from an Eevee to a Flareon, and a beautiful Flareon she was. Dahlia was extremely envious, a Flareon's colours was simply beautiful. Her mother, Sister and herself settled into a small and affordable house, and bought a small establishment to open a flower shop in where both sister would help out. Her mother was a gifted botanist, and the shop was a big success, the money they got made Dahlia's older sister's new interest affordable.
The Flareon spun around in her new dress. "Oh, Dahlia, doesn't she look lovely?" her mother chirped. "You do sis! That dress really suits you!" her sister giggled. "Thank you! Though, I wouldn't look half as good if I didn't evolve. Mother, are you sure you can manage the shop whil I travel?" she nodded, and softly sighed. " Of course. I still have Dahlia to help me, even without you here. And you need to chase your dreams. I know you used to watch these contests in our old house. and now you can finally do this yourself."

Chapter three: Climbing up.
Contests were a big deal in Hearthome, and the older Flareon quickly caught on to the trend. Dresses after dresses were bought, and ribbons were won. Dahlia's older sister was indeed, a huge insperation for her. But as it was, Dahlia took a bigger interest in the clothes, rather than the perfomances. The young Eevee would sketch late into the night. Page after page, a dress after another. Designing clothes gave her a job, at the exact place her insperations lay: The Hearthome city contest hall. Most of her work times, were late at night, as most contests there were held during the day. This was the big factor of evolving her into an Umbreon.
"Mom!" Dahlia shrieked a late night. "MOM!" the Leafeon rushed upstairs into her daughters room, welcomed by a blinding light. "What's happening to me?" she screamed. "Dahlia, love. Calm down. You're only evolving, and by the time I would say into an Umbreon." what? Dahlia didn't want to be an Umbreon, she wanted to be a flareon like her sister! "I don't want to! How can I stop it?" her mother shaked her head. "I'm afraid you can't." once the light had faded, the room was left in darkness. The only source of light was the faint yellow glow of Dahlia's rings. "I'm hideous! Black and yellow don't go together at all! And I glow! Why can't I be beautiful like my sister?"

Chapter four: On my own.
As Dahlia turned 21, she decided it was time to leave home. To stand on her own legs.  With her older sister taking a break from her contests, she had someone trusted to take care of their mother. Hearthome wasn't the inspiration-filled city it used to be, and she found her life there quite boring. Without a clue of where she was going, she sat off.
"Don't worry mother. I'll come back for a visit before you know it." her mother nodded and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. " I know, love and I don't doubt you'll find what it is you are looking for. You always were strong and independant. A starly has got to leave their nest at some point." Dahlia hugged her mother tightly and turned her attention to her older sibling. "Remember what you promised, or else I will turn all your dreams into nightmares. " Dahlia said with a stern voice. Her sister laughed and went in for a hug. "Relax! I'm not moving out anytime soon. Unlike, you I love my life here." Dahlia smiled knowingly, and turned to leaving. Waving goodbye to the home that would always welcome her back.

Dahlia haven't seen her father since they moved from Floaroma town, and doesn't like to talk about him
She'll never leave the house without her sketchbook.
It will take a long time for her to trust dittos, or other transforming pokemon.
Will fuss over people with different styles
Dahlia loves to spend her time outside, especially at night. The nightsky really inspires her.
Loves to try on her own designs, and her favorite thing in the world is to have her friends try them on.
Don't freak out if Dahlia wants to sketch you, it's a great compliment, since she's picky about style.
Her catchphrase was carried over from her mother

I do mostly paragraph, but I'm okay with script. I am intimidated by multi-para/literature. I always feel like I need to match my roleplay partner's length, and I just can't write a short story as a reply. D:

That was very creative how you handled her History section.  It gave us enough facts to know what happened to her, but it was also short and sweet.  The little snippits of prose fill in the gaps wonderfully and give us some emotion that the regular paragraphs don't.

I also like how you explained how and why Dahlia uses her attacks; it gives us a lot of insight to her personality and has a funny nature to it by showing us how people would use these super powers in day-to-day life.  Curious she doesn't have any Dark-Type moves; then again, she's not a battler.

Aside from some grammatical snafus, this is a well-written bio.  It manages to be emotional, informative AND concise!  Very nice job!

Thanks for your feedback again!

Yeah, I tried to give her a moveset that was more based on her personality than anything else. I wouldn't really use most of her moves in-game, fore example. I did realize later that there was definitely better moves to give her, but this will do for now. I also completely forgot to update her age to 22, but I'll get to that once I update her ID drawing. Which I'll do once I get home from vacation.

Well, grammar mistakes are probably always going to be there, considering I proof-read my stories once and then get bored. and considering that english isn't my first language, so i'm still slowly learning.

Always glad to leave comments on awesome pieces.

I'm sure you could always update her moves whenever you feel like; I'm not sure if anybody's actually keeping track of these things.  Even if you can't, the idea of giving her moves that match her personality and lifestyle is still a very cool idea; it really makes her feel like a real person.

Updating the ID drawing?  Hoo boy!  I've gotta keep my eyes open for that!  In the meantime, enjoy your vacation.

Oh wow, it isn't?  You speak English so well that I never would have guessed it was your first language!  In that case, you did a fantastic job writing this bio!

She sounds like a wonderful character! Awesome design and taking the sketchbook everywhere is a nice idea (you never know when inspiration will hit you!). Good luck!
