TRAINER, nymah valkyrie

NYMAH VALKYRIE



THE BASICS


"you took away my happy past"

"welcoming to the stage... um, what was your name again?"
Do I have to tell you? Well, I suppose it does no harm. I am Nymah Valkyrie, although I'm surprised you didn't know. Those who think they know me call me Ny.

"well, then, hello! now, this might seem rude, but... would you mind telling me your gender?"
Female, if you couldn't tell.

"sorry about that! now, can you tell me your age? birthdate? maybe even where you were born?"
I'm twenty-three, if you must know. Oh, I know, it seems rather young for one with my history. My birthday is on the twenty-second of December, the darkest night of the year. I was born in Veherna City.

"i might have to get you a birthday present this year! that aside, with whom do you align yourself?"
How do they find idiots that don't know these things? Well, since you're hopeless, chaotic evil.

"so what's your occupation? got any special skills?"
I suppose you could call me a trainer, if you wanted to. I've stayed away from these wannabe organizations. I'd be willing to show you my special skills, but then, this interview would be over soon enough... Might be worth considering, to be honest.

"now, are you a canon character? or an original character?"
I'm quite the original, to be honest.

THE APPEARANCE


"and introduced me to a world of pain"

"can you tell me the shortest description of yourself as you can?"
I have blonde hair and tawny eyes.

"you got a face claim? wanna share it with the world?"
CYNTHIA, POKEMON as NYMAH VALKYRIE.

"what kind of clothing do you like best?"
Black, dark as night, is my style. If you were to see me without recognizing me, you would probably think me a businesswoman. Black slacks and black blouse are what I usually wear, as they're comfortable. Of course, since pure black is boring, you might see a flash of gold trim... But do you really want to scrutinize me that closely? You might see some of the other, less pleasant surprises that all of my clothes are bristling with. Of course, if you see me, you'll probably notice my cloak, velvet in the winter, cotton in the warmer months. I actually have two of each, not that you'll see me without them. They all have deep hoods, usually worn up, and the tail always trails along on the ground, although if you step on it... Well, don't. Another thing, I always carry a small pouch, although it's usually on my belt, large enough to carry anything that I might need in an emergency, and on the other side of my belt, my pride and joy, my Pokemon.

"any defining physical traits?"
Well, I suppose. I'm tall enough to be visible in any crowd, although it's my hair and the feathers that adorn it that are my most defining traits. More on that later, I guess, I see that's our next question. Otherwise, a lot of people notice how dark my clothing is, compared to my pale skin.

"what about the hair and the eyes?"
My hair is a pale blonde, although it has its darker strands. It's long enough for me to sit on, and is mostly straight, with a few waves, although nothing unmanageable. Despite my haircut, you can see my eyes, which I call tawny, but if you're feeling uncharitable, you might describe as a mix between yellow and brown. I've been told that no one wants to look into my eyes, because of what emotions you can see there, so be warned.=

THE PERSONALITY


"these crimes i accuse you of"

"tell me a bit about how you act."
Good traits... Let's see. That might be hard. I suppose I'm a good public speaker, seeing as I kept my team together for two years before turning it over to that incompetent. Along with that, I guess, I can unite people to fight towards my goals. I'm also a decent strategist, although nothing beats strategy like a well-placed drop of poison in the right glass. I've been told that I'm intelligent, and I could feed you some humble lies, but then, I know I am. However, the one thing I'm actually proud of, I have a wonderful relationship with my Pokemon team.

Now, on to my bad ones. Well, I'm practically perfect, you know, but these are things other people have said of me. I'm a ruthless killer, and I don't care which humans get hurt, if they get in my way, or annoy me. If someone doesn't give me the respect I've earned, then I'm liable to take it out on them. I'm a very adept poisoner, although I'm a fair hand with a knife as well. I'm very inflexible, and if you make a tiny mistake, I'll be very, very displeased. I don't trust anyone, because honestly, who's worth trusting anymore? And then, one last thing, to round it out, of course, is the fact that every human on this world is beneath me, and had I not handed the reins to Loralei, they would have seen that.

"hm... interesting. what are some things you like and don't like?"
I enjoy the feel of a well crafted weapon in my hand, the power that comes from winning a battle, a nicely brewed poison, the bond I share with my Pokemon, and the last throes of a person who's realized they're dying.

As for dislikes, idiots are really something I could do without. Sadly, I'm surrounded by them. I also hate disrespect, from anyone. I'm not a huge fan of this new group, Besser, but neither am I going to align myself with Minder. I dislike losing almost as much as I detest people, but people top the list.

"what are some fears and goals you've developed over the years?"
Why should I share my fears with you? I doubt you're the kind to stay silent... I suppose I can kill you at the end of this interview. Anyway, then, I fear death, I'll admit it. I doubt that there's anything after death, but the fact that you rarely have any control over when it happens, I'm not a huge fan.

As for goals... My goals have had to shift with the new way of life, but then, whose haven't? I wish to regain my position at the top of a group, even if it isn't Imum. I'd also love to see the whole population of people killed, or at least all Pokemon freed, but I don't have the power at the moment.

"got any quirks? and we all have some habits - what are your's?"
I suppose a quirk of mine is the fact that I always chew with my mouth closed. A few habits that I have include chewing on my hair when I'm thinking, as well as often continuing what I was doing if anyone tries to engage me in conversation.

THE HISTORY


"you will stand up for them"

"now onto more... personal things. mind telling me who your parents were? any siblings?"
No one of any consequence, although my mother was a trophy wife, and my father was the leader of Team Imum before me. I never had any siblings, at least that I know of.

"anyone else of importance in your life?"
Important? To me? You can all die, and I wouldn't cry.

"now, tell me about your past. don't leave out any details!"
I was born in a small house in Veherna City. My mother died soon after childbirth, and my father abandoned me soon afterwards, leaving me in the care of a heavy-handed tavern keeper. He didn't really teach me anything, and for about five years, I lived with him and his family, working in the tavern as soon as I was old enough. When I was seven, though, he tried to impose his will over me in a different way, but I wasn't going to have any of that. His family found him the next morning, a butcher knife in his chest, and I was no where to be found.

After that, my life changed little, to be honest. Instead of a cold basement to sleep in, I slept on the streets, but the abuse actually lessened a little bit, and I scrounged more food than before. Only the strong survive on the streets, and despite my age, I thrived. The streets are where I learned my most important lessons, how willing to betray you others are, and how all of the humans on this planet are just a waste of space.

By the age of ten, I was one of Veherna's best thieves, using the skills that I had learned to get where no children had gotten before. Those that respected me put out their feelers on my request, tracking down a man with the same platinum-blond hair as me. The leader of Team Imum, he was. His name sealed the deal, and I knew what my next goal would be. For my twelfth birthday, I left Veherna City, and travelled to Team Imum's base, joining their ranks, although I had to prove myself quite a bit.

It took me a few years, but finally, I was within the highest tier of Imum. My father still hadn't recognized me, only cementing my opinion of him... He had to die. On the eve of my sixteenth birthday, I undertook just that, forcing him to recognize me as the daughter he had abandoned before I killed him and assumed his rank.

For two years, I lead Team Imum, whipping them into shape, and managing my operations. I built up quite a base of support, although I knew better than to trust any of them... But when I left to take a journey of personal importance, I knew I would have to leave my team in someone else's hands... And I chose the wrong person. Lorelei ran my precious Imum into the ground, and when I came back, I was persecuted, forced to go into hiding.

And there I stayed for five years, letting people forget my face, depending on my Pokemon and myself to stay alive. Now, I think the time is ripe to rise out of hiding, and as such, I'll see what I can do to find my side on this new battle.

THE OOC


"humanity"

"now, let's talk to the maker of this wonderful character. what's your name, sweetheart?"
Stern

"mind telling me how old you are?"
Sixteen

"mhm. now, what words would you like under your username? for the mini-profile, that is."
World's Most Dangerous Baker

X- D Cake, anyone?

"how long have you been doing what you're doing?"
Three...ish? Three and a half? Something like that.

"can you show us how you write? something up to date, too!"
Iskierka stood in the middle of the warm, sunlit meadow, trying her best not to let her anxiety show. She had called a meeting, the first since she had assumed the leader role for the court, and she hoped that she wouldn't have any trouble convincing the others that she would be okay for the job. She had done her best to find every creature that remained within the borders of the court, but who knew what they were expecting?

A flicker of fire caught her attention, and Iskierka whipped her head around, sighing as she saw that it was just the glow that had surrounded her since she had visited the other world. It was happening less and less, that the light surprised her, but it still seemed strange. Hopefully it would serve to prove that she had been chosen, but then, who knew? Glancing around at the meadow, her meadow, she frowned. Not her, just yet, but that would change.

The spirit's voice hovered at the edge of her consciousness, "We will guide you, but you are ready." She remembered the lingering words, although she didn't feel the truth of them. Her court, however, would not know that, she knew, so as the first of her brothers and sisters approached, Iskierka held her head high (as high as possible, with her small structure), and smiled at them.
