Joaquim is bursting with energy! They’re always full of new ideas, new plans or pranks all waiting to be unleashed. As a highly creative force, Joaquim is always moving, always striving to be better. They’re like a firecracker, boisterous and loud until it’s over in a flash and they’ve left, already moved on to something new and exciting. They move fast, maybe too fast at times and often forget to wait to have everyone else along with them, unused to having people around who can’t keep up.
It’s not that they mean to leave everyone behind, certainly not. Joaquim is less concerned with being malicious and more wrapped up in their own head, too distracted to realize what’s happening. A bit lonely, they’re not entirely used to the idea of adjusting for others this way. Maybe because nobody really wanted to try in return either. Connecting with people isn’t hard for Joaquim, but staying is what trips them up. In all honesty, it kind of scares them.
When someone does stick around, they’ll become desperate to have you stay. Sure, it’s scary, but companionship is something Joaquim craves. They might not really get that someone they’re close to may lie to them or use them, so they wouldn’t want to do the same in return. It’s a bit of a foreign idea to them, and it may end in them being hurt more often than they’d want to admit. And while Joaquim may not be the best at fighting, they're more than willing to throw hands if someone hurts a friend. Maybe they can't protect you, but hey at least you won't have to go down alone, right? Right????
Used to being the target for most bullies, Joaquim has gotten a bit of a vengeful streak. It’s not easy to get on their bad side, but its hard to get out of it. They can play nice when they need to, sure! But make no mistake, they will not forget how you treated them for a long time. Joaquim has no qualms with getting down and dirty to get back at someone for mistreating them, in fact they more than revel in it. Sure, they might get in trouble, but as long as they take you down with them, it's not an issue.
For all the times Joaquim is ruled by their emotions, they aren't afraid to be honest. You looking like shit? They'll let you know, and maybe offer you their jacket to hide in. They don't have the biggest filter so chances are you're going to hear whatever thought comes into their little fox brain. This has led to plenty of bad outcomes. Most of which ending up with Joaquim crying in background. They're fine, don't you worry. Just let these emotions ride themselves out.
History ::
[warning for emotional abuse]
Joaquim Ezequiel Dias Carvalho Dias Alves was born and raised in Celadon city, Kanto. It would be 4 more years for their first sister to follow, and two more for the last. Always eager to help, Joaquim doted over their little sisters even at a young age. Sure, they weren't really allowed to help take care of them for a long while, but they always liked the idea of being the little leader of the pack. Maybe, they always secretly hoped one of them would evolve into a flareon so they could match! If there was one place Joaquim always felt they belonged, it was home. A loving mother and father, two bratty but oh so worth it sisters, and a loving granbull for a pet was all they needed.
School was always a challenge for the young vulpix. 7 hours a day sitting still and paying attention was hard, and they always found themselves missing kindergarden where it was a little easier to get away with fidgeting. Always restless, their hands needed to do something. Doodle in the margins of their notepad. Pick at their skin. Scratch an itch that wasn't there. Tear a corner of the paper off. Tap their pencil. They had energy that they didn't know what to do with, and recess didn't get it out. Sure, it didn't help that Joaquim had trouble finding people that wanted to play pretend with them, but regardless it wasn't enough. Little things were enough to distract them. The sound of the clock ticking away. Something moved by the window- maybe a leaf or a bird? What kind of bird? They liked pidove the best. But torchic were cool Oh! Speaking of torchic- And they were gone, brain running a mile a minute as the world moved on around them. Other students found them spacey, too weird too excited about things they thought were old news. They talked a lot. They changed subjects randomly. The list went on, but there was always something that drove the other students off. More days than not, they were alone in the field at recess, maybe finding a playmate or two for the day if they were lucky.
Eventually, Joaquim's parents drove them to some building where they were put in front of a computer, and had to take a little test. It was a bit of a blur to them. They couldn't tell you most of it nowadays, but by the end they just remember their parents sitting them down and telling them they had ADHD. At the time, Joaquim didn't fully understand what that meant beyond that they had trouble focusing, but later in life it would give an explanation to many of the other experiences they had.
Joaquim was able to squeeze through elementary school with on and off friends and a new prescription of medication under their belt. It took a bit of trial and error but they found a great fit, and it was like putting on a pair glasses for the first time. School was manageable, especially with 6th grade coming around the corner. Things were going to change and probably get more difficult, but gentle reassurances from their family kept the young fox moving ever forward.
It was within the first month that Joaquim met someone new, a bubbly young togepi in the same grade as them. She'd peeked over their shoulder during the lunch period while they were scratching away mindlessly at another doodle. Another blur, a rush of an introduction and all too soon lunch was over while they were in the middle of a passionate discussion of both of their favorite games. All they had time for was a quick promise to talk again tomorrow before they had to near sprint to make it to their next classes on time. It became a daily meet up for the two of them, and it didn't take long before the two were seeing each other every weekend. Their friend was more of a fan of drawing, while Joaquim had more fun with misdirection and trickery, as they liked to call it. She said it was just fancy card tricks. By the end of middle school, She had evolved into a togetic, and Joaquim couldn't have been happier.
High school began to get rockier again. Teachers were stricter, there were more students, and though Joaquim found some to connect to, She always ended up getting jealous and whisked them away when their attention was off of her too long. They didn't really think much of it, really She was just scared of losing them, right? No number of reassurances would stop Her from crying or pulling them further and further away. Joaquim was shaken, after all the troubles they had making friends and She didn't want to let them even try. They weren't sure where to go, she had been the first solid friend they ever had. She'd been the first person they came out to, the first person to see their new tricks they were practicing, the first they went to when their granbull died.
Today, Joaquim couldn't tell anyone what caused them to finally put their foot down, but they did muster up their courage eventually. The aftermath wasn't pretty, and their family found it hard to get them to leave their room. She had been one of the most important people in their life, but she didn't want to share that with anyone else. Joaquim was floundering, but as they promised they would, their parents swooped in to help their baby. They got them a therapist, someone to talk to and help them manage their emotions and how to deal with this. It took a few times to find a good fit, but they did. They had a year to grow and recover, to better themself and learn to deal with people like Her. Then, they were given an offer. Go to a new school, away from that whole mess, and start anew. Some research later, and an application was sent to the Ninfia School of Academia and Scholorship.
