☂ Personality:
☁ Mellow: Camille is a very mellow individual who has an easy-going aura about her. There is not much, if anything, that can get a rise out of her; preferring to shrug and move on rather than get upset. She's almost too mellow, as she doesn't get worked up when she probably should.
☁ Kind: Friendly and pleasant to be around, she's always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need of it.
☁ Curious: Always interested in discovering new things, she's quite inquisitive. This usually applies to all things history related but also extends to people. She's likely to ask questions about a person but tries to be mindful of not asking too many personal questions. That doesn't always happen and sometimes gets a little too curious.
☁ Adventurous: Growing up with parents who traveled the world as part of their careers has given Camille love for adventure. It doesn't matter where she's going, every place is a new adventure to her and she relishes learning and exploring the new environment. The more potential for danger, the more excited she gets.
☁ Fearless: Having spent so much time in crumbling ruins, safety and caution are things that don't cross her mind when she's pursuing something in the name of history. This also makes her handy to have in an emergency as she will be the first to try to fix or handle the situation without fear of the danger or consequences. That said, certain events have shaken her. She's not as confident in her fearlessness as she used to, but in all honesty, she will learn from this and know that it's okay to be afraid. So long as it doesn't stop her from living.
☁ Independent: With the exception of her family, Camille has spent most of her life being self-sufficient and independent. She knows her strengths and is aware that she can very much take care of herself. But because of this, she doesn't know how to really depend on or work with anyone. Teamwork is something she struggles with as she will often just take the reins on a situation and do things her way; which depending on the scenario can be either good or bad. Also, because of her independence, Camille has little expectations to make lasting relationships. Moving on through life like a storm, she has never stayed in one place for very long. She knows that she will be fine, come what may, and expects that the people she has met will be fine without her. She's realized this recently, which saddens her, much to her surprise.
☁ Distracted: Since she spends so much time with her head in the past, she hardly notices the present and the people in it. It's also hard to keep her attention for extended periods of time as her focus is always shifting from one thing to the next. She doesn't like to be tied down to obligations and enjoys the freedom to move about both physically and mentally. As a result of this, she has few friends.
☁ Reckless: Whether it's cliff-diving, investigating an ancient library or whatever, Camille will always jump at the chance for adventure. She's a bit of an adrenaline rush junkie and loves that thrill of danger. This doesn't always end well but regardless, she'll say "screw the rules, let's do this!"
☁ Selfish: Not going to lie, the nerd can be selfish; but in the sense that she's selfish with her freedom. She is such an independent and adventurous person that she values that freedom dearly and will fight against anything that threatens it; whether it be a person or a set of rules.
☂ History:
Camille was actually born on a boat in the middle of the ocean on Route 126 during an archaeological expedition to explore the Cave of Origins; while her father kept telling her mother, "I told you so, honey". It was a perfect indication that Camille's life was going to be an adventure. Though based in Slateport City, her parents traveled around the world visiting historic sites; taking their baby girl with them. Camille grew up surrounded by history and developed an interest and love for her parents work. Once she was old enough, she began to take part in the expeditions, especially the diving expeditions. While she was still an Eevee, her parents took her to diving lessons so she could accompany them to the underwater ruins. However, their trips had to be limited due to a funny thing called oxygen, which just wouldn't do for the young girl. This would be the reason why she chose Vaporeon as her evolved form, so she could continue exploring for as long as possible. It ended up working out as her mom soon had another baby and could no longer go diving like she used to, so Camille became her eyes during the explorations, along with her dad.
By the time baby number three came around, the family had moved back to Slateport to raise the younger ones; taking two young children traveling was much more challenging than one. Camille happily helped her parents with caring for her siblings. But when she had a free moment, she would visit the Oceanic Museum. The exhibits fascinated her along with listening to the museum owner tell stories; and asking him hundreds of questions about his explorations. Once her siblings were old enough, she would take them down there and eagerly present each exhibit. Even though her siblings weren't old enough to care, but they made a good audience for the excited nerd.
Whenever the younger kids were older, the family resumed their world travels, going to even more distant and exciting places. Camille and her siblings visited all of the other regions, but she held a soft spot for Hoenn. They would frequently go back and investigate places like Mt. Chimney, Mt. Pyre, Meteor Falls and other ancient sites. She even took her siblings on an afternoon trip to the abandoned ship just outside Slateport; though her parents gave her a lecture about not asking permission to take off with her siblings like that. Despite her occasional lapses in judgement, Camille always made sure her siblings were safe while exploring.
Up until now, Camille had been both home-schooled and sent to public school; but now that her mom has taken a year long job in Sinnoh, the family has moved to Hearthome City to spend the next year. As this would be Camille's last year in high school, they decided to enroll her at St. Mortiel to finish her schooling, with the younger siblings going to a nearby elementary school.

☂ Extra/Fun Facts:
☁ Mother (Munna) is an archaeologist and her father (Vaporeon) is a storm chaser, weather photographer and meteorologist. Camille has a good relationship with her parents and idolizes them both.
☁ Has two younger siblings: Andrew (10; Eevee) and Hazel (8; Munna). Adores them both and spends a lot of time with them.
☁ Loves history, archaeology, the ocean, reading, family, photographs, expeditions, diving, music
☁ Dislikes dry weather because her skin is sensitive and will dry out if there is no moisture around.
☁ Has webbing between her fingers
☁ Has been to many different regions to explore sites, but her favorites are Sootopolis City (Hoenn), Abyssal Ruins (Unova) and the Ruins of Alph (Johto).
☁ Her tail can knock over pretty much anything as it is solid muscle, she has to be careful in antique shops.
☁ Can understand several different languages, both modern and ancient.
☁ Able to breathe underwater and is able to do so in both saltwater and freshwater easily. However, she cannot breathe underwater in pools because the chlorine makes her sick, so she is able to hold her breath longer than average in this situation.
☁ Due to not forming properly when she evolved, she had to have her neck fin surgically removed. Lacking this important part of vaporeon anatomy has left her with the inability to sense rain or melt into water. She is slightly sensitive to its loss.
