[Full Sized Mirela (shaded)] :: [Full Sized Bases (w/ shawl)] :: [Training/Leisure Outfit]

Basic Information:

Name: Mirela Gry
Age: 28
Height: 5’6
Weight: 150 lbs
Hometown/Region: Cocona Village, Oblivia; Kanto
Eye Color: Light blue
Hair Color: Dark brown
Military Faction: Army
Extra items: Grandmother’s castanets, hunting knife, arceus necklace, and a canteen. The pouches on her belt have a sewing kit, rather long needles, and her pokeballs.
Personality: Mirela is rather cordial, caring, and motherly towards her fellow soldiers, even during such a dark time. But there are times where her hardheaded and stubbornness get the better of her if things become too hectic and spin out of her control.

Being the second eldest of six children, Mirela is used to being the responsible one even when there is no need for it. She’s quick to take the shoulder a burden for someone in need, though she won’t do it for everyone anymore. If it’s one thing she doesn’t tolerate, it’s recklessness and immaturity in a serious time. She honest and to-the-point, and can’t quite grasp the concept of beating around the bush.

Mirela doesn’t find fault in making “friends” and tries to be sociable and friendly when meeting new people. She tries to maintain a calm and confident demeanor, but -like everyone else- there are moments when that wall cracks. Lately she’s found that the biggest blow would be failure to her team, the Army, and herself. To help with this she hides herself away and plays her grandmother’s castanets to calm down and fix her attitude.

Backstory:

Before they settled in Cocona Village five years ago, Mirela’s family traveled the region of Kanto in their caravan performing for crowds wherever they would have them. The performances ranged from music, to dance, to both, and even some theatrics by the younger siblings. The Grys saw their performances as more of a way for people to smile again and have their spirit’s raised in a dark time, though some people thought different and there were occasions when they would be chased out of the town upon arrival.

Mirela, being the second eldest of six children, grew up a bit too fast and learned key skills such as cooking, basic child care, prayers to their God, music, and dance. Though the last few were things she fully enjoyed doing, especially when being taught by her beloved grandmother from whom she’s named after.

As the family traveled through Kanto and Unova there came a time when the parents felt the need for a true home, that time being when their youngest daughter, Jael, was born. Though Kanto and Unova were mostly good to them, they found that they could not stay on the mainland. With that in mind, they boarded a boat and set a course for Oblivia. Eventually they came upon Cocona Village and fell in love with the area in itself. Their parents adored the greens, the nature, the tradition and togetherness of the village, and the very fact that they were accepted with open arms and smiles. The Grys finally found a place to raise their family in peace.

From there on they stayed and learned the customs relating to the Rainbow Dais plus adding a few of their own traditions in with the mix. Mirela happily learned said traditions such as dancing, paying tribute to Arceus and the prayers that followed. Her family, especially her brother, found his niche in being a fisherman and earned some income that way.

When word got out that the war was starting up again, Mirela felt that being home in peace and not doing enough for the whole was not something she could stand anymore, she wanted to do something good for the country, so she enlisted in hope to both make her family proud and survive long enough to see to this war’s [peaceful] end...

Safe to say her family was not happy about her decision, especially her brother who outright refused to go, and ultimately had to compromise that as long as she promised to stay alive and wrote to them on a weekly basis, she could go.

Post Round 2:
She was able to go home for two weeks when they were allowed on ‘vacation’. Her new shawl was made by her mother and given as a gift and as a means of protection.
Also someone seems to have come with her from Cocona...BUT WHO...

Major Edits:
You can read the retconning of her castanets HERE. They are in the more traditional clam-shape, are made of wood, and have a Crocus design.

Other Factoids:
Great cook
Firm follower of Arceusism
Hopes to get some throwing knives for the battlefield
Her nationality by our terms would be Iberian Kale Romani, they were the group of Romani who settled in Spain. The Pokemon equivalent would (I suppose) be Alamosian or a very old form of it, so that may hint where she’s truly from.
Mirela does not like being called a gypsy, but will forgive it if its said playfully instead of insultingly.

Pokemon:

Dais VERY Rough reference: [link]
Beheeyem | Sassy | Telepathy | Gender: Female
Moves: Psybeam || Psychic || Thunderbolt || Teleport

Pokemon Bio: Dais’ clan of similar-looking Elgyem unfortunately veered too close to the Earth’s atmosphere and crash-landed after a heavy battle against the planet’s gravitational pull. Since their crash, her clan worked vigorously to get their ships back in working order and return to space without the dominant species of the planet knowing their whereabouts.

This, of course, failed miserably. Just a few months after their first launch into space, the humans caught on and seized them for their own personal gains. Her clan was caught, separated, and put to work under the human’s orders. With their psychic bond weakened, and eventually severed over time, there was no point in trying to escape from the meat-sacks after an extended period of time.

Personality: Dais has a superiority complex and views humans as savage beasts who lust for blood of another, and carries a large bitterness for them for separating her from her clan. Yet that doesn’t stop her from exacting some violent, aimless revenge on them as seen at the Battle for Undella; if given freedom she tries to destroy as many as possible with her powers. She’s very stubborn when push comes to shove and outright refuses to listen to anyone other than herself when it comes to fighting.

Yet over time she’s accepted her trainer as ‘that annoying human’ and will only listen to her if they strike a deal with each other. She plays for gain and nothing else, which is something Mirela has noticed and tries not to appeal too much to.

Major edit: She's evolved. Run.

Other Facts:
Stands at 6'0 flat. Her tail has spines on the end of it.
Her name comes from The Rainbow Dais that Cocona Village is known to host.
If Mirela listens close enough, she can hear Dais beeping along when she plays her castanets…strange isn’t it?

Vanto [Full Study Pending]
Shiftry | Naive | Chlorophyll | Gender: Male
Moves: Leaf Tornado || Extrasensory || Razor Wind || Faint Attack

Pokemon Bio: Unlike his other kin, Vanto has never been exposed to the forest and all of her wonders and beauty. He was born in the army and raised as such to be an agile fighter on the battlefield, which they fully succeeded in doing and managed to rip his personality out at the same time. He's never known his parents or siblings and sometimes dreams of how things would have been if he was born naturally.

He’s grown to respect, and even like his trainer, though he still retains a stubborn attitude and does what he deems is right on the field instead of listening to her some of the time.

Personality: Through his time with Mirela there have been a few subtle changes in his rather stoic behavior: mostly that he’s enjoying his battles more and his accuracy has improved quite a bit from intensive training. He tends to smile more and attempt to converse with Dais and other pokemon, but most of the time it blows up in his face and he retreats to the forest for a little while to calm down. Vanto still finds himself a pokemon of simple likes and tastes, but has been known to be a bit of a trickster since he evolved. If there’s ever a giant gust of wind and suddenly your hair is a massive mess…that was his work.

You’re welcome.

Vanto has become a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to his fighting technique and challenges his trainer when they practice with targets and such. He’s even been seen ordering Dais to perfect her new moves and such, much to the alien’s chagrin. After she shrieks at him he normally quiets down and continues his portion of training.

Other Facts:

His name comes from Vantoase who are Romanian spirits of the wind. The spirits are female but let’s just…look over that right now.
He stands at a whopping 7’3 now.
The leaves on his ‘fans’ are Eucalyptus.
Vanto is perfecting a technique called Wind Riding: he’s faster when he’s moving with the direction of the wind and some paces slower when going against it, coupled with his natural ability to stir up horrifyingly fast wind, it’s just best that you don’t look behind you.
His sword is hidden in his mane, and you will never find it.

Buzka [Full Study Pending]
Bouffalant | Jolly | Reckless | Gender: Female
Moves: Revenge || Wild Charge || Protect || Horn Attack

Pokemon Bio: Oh give me a home where the Bouffalant roam~ And the Deerling and the Stantler all play~ But you’ll never run~ for wartime has come~ And your skies are all fading away~

During a time of lighter atmosphere and stalled peace, The Gry family traveled through the region in a caravan with the help of their eldest son and father, and a few animals they took in on their own free will. They were free to come and go as they pleased and were mostly well fed and taken care of by the children, as time went on a bond started to form. A female bouffalant traveled faithfully with the Grys as they performed for crowds and assisted them if they were chased out.

But even the Grys knew that they could not take her with them when they crossed the sea to a new region in Great Kanto. So with a very tearful good-bye and farewell hugs, the bouffalant was left with a herd of her own kind but even that could not fill the hole the family left in her.

Time passed on though but the memory of the kind family did not fade into oblivion. What did happen some good years later, was a raid. Kanto soldiers stormed the peaceful field where her herd lay and captured a heavy sum of them in strange devices with screws coming out of them. Buzka was one of these pokemon. For a time she went from trainer to trainer, serving as a means of transport and brute force, yet her masters had difficulty taming and communicating with her. There were instances where she’d buck them off completely and threaten to stomp them to death.

With this in mind, the Army was careful about giving away this pokemon to the next Private. It’s a funny thing really, when two long-lost friends meet after a leave of absence. Mirela wanted a pokemon she could ride instead of driving that godforsaken box of metal and plastic, and so she received on a pre-destined day.

Buzka recognized the fluffy-haired brunette almost immediately and started stomping excitedly around her pen, roaring loudly for her to come over and see if it really was her. Startled, Mirela took a few steps back from the beast and surveyed a few other pokemon, yet there was something about the bouffalant that made her curious, her strange looking horns to be specific. After the beast was sated, she approached her with extra caution.

A few moments passed, the touching recognition was made, and a boisterous greeting was in order. Mirela found her perfect mount and an old friend in one fowl swoop. Though even with a familiar face amongst strangers, the two still have some things to iron out.

Personality: Buzka is not a Pokemon you want to anger. With her large stature and magnificent ‘fro she’s at the prime of her life and shows it off well. She’s rather rambunctious now that she’s found someone from her past and plays the role of Guardian of the team. Frequently she scolds and reprimands Dais for disrespecting their trainer so much, but of course the alien doesn’t hear a word she says. She is very caring and enjoys the freedom of being outside of her ball, this is something Mirela approves whole-heartedly and tries to keep her out for as long as she can. Like her Master she has a tendency to baby or try to comfort needy Pokemon, but can go into battle mode when the time calls for it. She loves attention and affection in any kind of manner.

Other Facts:
Buzka stands at 6’0 at her shoulders and from hoof to the tip of her horn is 8’5. Yes, she is that big.
Her top speed is 40 mph.
Go Google it if you think I’m making that up. Buffalo can really run that fast.
She is modeled after the Wild Water Buffalo instead of the standard African Water Buffalo that Bouffalant are loosely based off of. Wild Water Buffalo are greatly larger than the African Water Buffalo.
If left alone she will try to nibble on Vanto’s fan-leafs. She loves her greens.
Loves to rest in mud and go swimming.

Mioritza [Miorița]

Farfetch’d | Naive | Keen Eye | Gender: Female
Moves: Steel Wing || Sand Attack || Aerial Ace || Peck

Pokemon Bio: TBA

Other Facts:
At the current time, she has no name. Mir will not name her until some time after Round 4.
If she smacks you with that bamboo stick that means she likes you and wants attention.

________________________________

TL;DR:
Look, she has a new outfit
She’s lost seven pounds.
She was stabbed in the arm.
Her bouffalant is enormous
Dais is still a prissy child
Vanto has a personality
Her pokemon, or at least Vanto and Buzka, are going to have full-body studies drawn up when I get to it soon.
