Sev's no Igglybuff. She's got a bit of a sting to her words, and tends to open her mouth before thinking about the consequences. This leads to her making more divides with the people she meets than bridges. This isn't much of a concern to her though, as she likes being alone for the most part, as people tend to drain her energy. She does hold the people that do manage to leap past her sarcasm and pointed words close to her heart, and will do as much as she can for them. Being with her loved ones is the only time she'll go out of her way to be talkative and open. She picks things up quickly, a symptom of her wanting to support herself, and is a but of a jack-of-all-trades, something she is quite proud of. This extends to her ability to deal with grief or trouble as it hits her. She has a hardy spirit thats taken a lot of damage, and she finds her own ways to deal with things, usually by avoiding them altogether.

History: Originally from the Desert Resort Region of Unova, Sev came from a well-to-do family that prided themselves on their knowledge and intellect. Sev however never seemed to fit into their mold, always opting to challenge their book-smarts with raw wits. To her family's disdain, she also refused to behave "properly for a woman". As the middle child of five, she often wished she was ignored by her parents a bit more. Despite this, she ended up following their wishes, and married her childhood friend at the age of 20. They slowly fell in love and she co-owned a small but well-loved cafe with him. A year into their marriage, he became ill, and passed away. Rather than stay in the country that had nothing for her, she wandered, cutting ties with Unova completely, taking only her Wooper Azul, and her husband's Shuppet Castor with her as companions. After a while the trio ended up in Verot, staying in Desert for a while. She didn't stay there long, the heat didn't compliment her temper. At the age of 22, she found herself settling in Swamp, her team now fully evolved. She began to take odd-jobs here and there, eventually falling back on the basic repair skills she learned from her husband. She became known for her cheap labor and her sharp tongue, slowly gaining a grudging favor in the community. She picked up the lay of the land, and occasionally will lead a few outsiders through the swamp, or serve as a one-woman survey team for the naturalists of Swamp. One such excursion led her to find Zarza, her spoiled Snivy.

Gender: Male
Level: 46
Ability: Cursed Body
Type: Ghost
Attacks: 
     Pursuit
     Disable
     Shadow Sneak
     Snatch
Personality: Naughty/ Scatters Things Often
Short History: Previously owned by her late husband, Castor has always had a knack for finding trouble. As a shuppet, he used to turn over the tables and chairs in Sev's cafe and surprise the patrons. He hasn't grown out of that behavior, and loves to hide small but important things of Sev's ever so often. As a battler, he meshes perfectly with Sev, often compensating for a miscalculation with his own wit.

Short History: Sev's very first Pokemon, Azul balances her trainer's Hastiness with her own steadfast personality. Sev received her as a gift from her father, and still sees Azul as a sign that her parents always meant well for her. Azul and Sev can at times disagree in battle, which results in some unnecessary squabbling, but they make a good team. Azul prefers to stay out of battle however, and is most content with Sev riding her through the swamp lands on cool evenings.

Short History: Zarza is the most recent addition to Sev's team, and behaves the most child-like out of all of them. Sev stumbled on the lone Snivy in the swamp, searching for some berries in the roots of trees. She offered the Snivy a berry from her pack, and Zarza hasn't left her side since. She loves to ride on Sev's shoulder, and will not hesitate to curl around her trainer (who loves this and will offer Zarza extra treats in return).
