THE BASICS
" I'm at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark "
"welcoming to the stage... um, what was your name again?"
Edith Nora Tailor
"well, then, hello! now, this might seem rude, but... would you mind telling me your gender?"
What kind of joke is that? That’s just insulting. I’m a girl.
"sorry about that! now, can you tell me your age? birthdate? maybe even where you were born?"
I forgive you. I’m thirteen.
"i might have to get you a birthday present this year! that aside, with whom do you align yourself?"
Lawful good.

I am original.
THE APPEARANCE
" It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last "
"can you tell me the shortest description of yourself as you can?"
Yes, I can. I'm a bit on the tall side for a thirteen-year-old, with red hair rushing down my back, a small nose, and a small, round face.
"you got a face claim? wanna share it with the world?"
Kyoko Sakura, Puella Magi Madoka Magica as Edith Tailor.

Hair unnaturally red and she likes to keep it long.

Not having a goal to work towards/stillness
Quietness
"what are some fears and goals you've developed over the years?"
When things are too quiet, I always get a little freaked out; wondering what’s wrong, why no one’s talking. My greatest fear would be something happening to my friends and being left alone.
"got any quirks? and we all have some habits - what are your's?"
As soon as she finds herself falling into a habit, she attacks it viscously. However, she hasn’t been able to quit the habit of biting her fingernails. In her old form, she didn’t have to worry about the pesky nails growing but now she finds them an annoyance.
THE HISTORY
" Here, right here. Right now, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
"
"now onto more... personal things. mind telling me who your parents were? any siblings?"
I’m a pokemon.
"anyone else of importance in your life?"
Rose, Marley, and Willow, and someone else I don’t know the name of yet.
"now, tell me about your past. don't leave out any details!"
Well, I died once. I don’t remember it that much, just this brightness, and a sound so loud it was silent. And then I woke up, and I was alone, and for a moment I thought I’d died. And this was all there was for me: aloneness, stillness, darkness. And the silence. But then there was noise. And there was pain. And I opened my eyes to a blinding morning light. I pushed my way through the rubble and wept for joy. And from that moment, I knew that pain was not the worst thing in the world, not nearly.
My friends and I had already died once, and I wasn’t going to let that happen again. I was going to life at a higher standard because I’d been given a second chance. So as soon as I heard about these pokemon becoming gjinkas for the purpose of finding Arceus, I jumped at the chance. It was an opportunity to do something heroic, something worth something.

THE OOC
" I'm at war with the world cause I
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what I can't be bought or sold
"
"now, let's talk to the maker of this wonderful character. what's your name, sweetheart?"
enigma

15
"mhm. now, what words would you like under your username? for the mini-profile, that is."
"how long have you been doing what you're doing?"
>1 year
"can you show us how you write? something up to date, too!"
“W-w-why w-would y-y-you d-do this?” Platinum somehow sputtered, her voice sounding warped, but still recognizably hers. Ulixes couldn’t help but find her eyes. They weren’t filled with fear, the one emotion he was expecting. She wasn’t all smiles and giggles, sure. She was in pain and hurt by his duplicity. He was touched that she felt betrayed. You couldn’t be betrayed by people you hated, by strangers you didn’t care about. Which only made the guilt all the worse.
“You have to understand,” Ulixes said, breaking into a babble again, “I have plans for this company. I want to do some good for this world, and most people wouldn’t agree with my means. It was too much of a risk, to see what side you’d be on. I had to get rid of you somehow. My plans: they’re everything to me. Everything. It’s for the best.” Did he believe his own words? He’d never doubted himself before, not about this. He wasn’t sure who he was trying to convince by the time he finished speaking; her or him. He didn’t want to think anymore. He couldn’t think around her.
Six.
Seven. He worked like a machine now. One shot after another. No turning back. No turning back. For the best. For the best.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten. He felt something wet dripping down his face. For a terrifying second, he though his eyes were bleeding. No. Not thick enough. Tears. He was crying. He hadn’t cried since his brother was taken. Were tears supposed to sting this much? What was happening to him? Was he dying? He almost laughed at the thought. Maybe he was going crazy, but he was not yet dying.
“I hate you, Platinum.” He growled the words with as much savageness as he could with his throat closing from the tears. He hated Platinum for making him feel weak and he could grow strength from his hatred.
Except as much as he tried, he couldn’t hate her.
Eleven. He was sobbing. One shot to go. Last was the mind-control shot, the shot that would finish it all. He turn towards Platinum for the last time, his hand trembling, or maybe he couldn’t see straight through the tears.
He knelt before her. She was completely changed now. But somehow, inexplainably, she was still obviously Platinum. He didn’t know how to explain it; but he knew, if he hadn’t seen the change, and if he’d seen this Leafeon in a room full of others, he’d know it was her. Maybe it was in the eyes, but it felt deeper than that. It was her mind showing through; her self, whatever that was. Would she lose that with this last shot? The thought broke him. He dropped it. The fragile glass cracked.
“I’m sorry, Platinum.” Had he ever meant those words before? Certainly not this much, “I’m sorry!” He couldn’t stop weeping. His head hung low, the tears splashed onto Platinum’s paws. He cried and cried and hated each tear and thought he hated Platinum for each tear she made him cry. But deep down, where a person hides the part of themselves they’re afraid of, the part that a person keeps hidden even from himself, he knew the truth. There, he knew he was overwhelmed by the grief of guilt and he knew he didn’t hate Platinum, but felt an emotion just as deep, just as strong.
Ulixes had changed Platinum, but she had changed him much more. Because she’d changed him to the core.
