General Information
Full Name: Elissa Katherine Ivory
Age: Thirteen (16/4/94)
Gender: Female
Height: Five foot five, approximately (she's tall for her age)
Weight: 60kg (132 lbs... She's a lot fatter in pounds...)
Hair Color and Style: Having grown tired of wearing a ponytail, Elissa chopped off most of her hair a few years ago, leaving her with hair cropped just under her earlobes, giving her a decidedly masculine look. The colour is dark blonde, with a single lock of platinum blonde tucked behind her left ear.
Eye Color: Depending on their mood, Elissa's eyes change colour - they are generally blue with grey and green tones, but occasionally they shift (gradually, mind, not in the spaces of a few minutes) to grey-green, or to a slightly unnerving icy colour.
Build: Despite her unusual height, Elissa is slightly overweight, a problem that constantly gnaws away at her self-esteem. Her skin is mostly pale, from her love of being inside (safe from the taunts of her peers), but oddly enough, the backs of her arms are tanned, making them a light brown colour that stands out. She has only a few freckles, for the same reason that her skin is so pale, but the ones she does have tend to stand out, especially the ones on her face, of which she has two - one in the center of her forehead, and one on her right temple.
Clothing: Due to her weight, Elissa tends to wear quite baggy clothes in an attempt to hide her stomach - her usual outfit consists of a T-shirt, baggy jeans and dirty sneakers; however, if for some reason she's feeling good about herself, she may instead be seen wearing a simple but stylish v-neck, green-blue top instead of the worn black t-shirt she generally wears, along with her jeans, and a pair of converse; this doesn't happen often, though. Along with his, a pretty diamond necklace is worn around her neck, often tucked under her top, and a bracelet made of a few multicoloured, twisted strings circles her right wrist. Also, she will occasionally produce a pair of maroon-rimmed glasses, generally when she is reading or working on a computer.
Personality: Elissa is a shy young woman, who much prefers the company of her thoughts to that of other people. She dislikes crowds, parties et cetera, and tries to get out of being the centre of attention as much as possible. This mainly stems from cruel playground taunts when she was younger, which caused her to have an intense dislike of people her own age and younger. Elissa prefers to spend her time alone, making up stories and poems in her bedroom.
In fact, Elissa would much rather be alone than do anything, but when forced to speak to people, she is an kind, intelligent girl with a somewhat dry sense of humour, who hates seeing people or Pokemon hurt. For this reason, she dislikes Pokemon battles, a fact her mother (who once did very well in the Hoenn tournament) despises, which in turn only serves to break the girl's self-esteem further. She generally only speaks in a whisper, so as not to draw too much attention to herself. Elissa is also very sensitive; even one unkind word will make her burst into tears and run away, a fact she hates - it isn't fun, crying in public, especially when there wasn't anything to cry about.
History: Elissa Ivory grew up in the peaceful town of Canalave, Sinnoh, where she divided her time between avoiding her mother's eye and reading in the old Canalave library. Her mother - Laura Ivory - had once lived in Hoenn, and competed in the Hoenn League, and always had high hopes that her daughter would be just like her. Instead, the young girl was studious, quiet and well-mannered, not to mention shy, and as it became clearer that young Elissa wasn't going to be the next Sinnoh Champion, her mother started to ignore her, eventually sending her to boarding school in Jubilife when she turned ten, instead of giving her a Pokemon - a sort of punishment for not being battle-hungry.
However, the fast-paced city did not agree with the quiet child, and realising this, the teachers sent her back home, no matter how hard the girl pleaded, or how many promises she made to do better, become more like the other girls. After recieving a lecture from her mother about how useless she was, Elissa started spending more and more time in the library, almost living there, along with a constant diet of junk food - while she had been heavy for her age before, it only got worse. However, there was some hope.
A new girl, by the name of Hollie Miller (no relation to the residents of Seaside Town), moved into Canalave, and found Elissa hunched over in the 'History of Sinnoh' section, munching on a packet of chips. She came back ever day - the quiet girl never seeming to leave - and over time, Elissa started talking more, having her first friend for a long, long time. Of course, such bliss couldn't last - Laura Ivory, still furious at her daughter's insistence on not showing any interest in battles whatsoever, made plans to send her on a journey, where she couldn't come back. So, persuading the local sailors to take her daughter with them on their next trip, she informed Elissa that she would be taking a vacation, and having a horrible feeling that she wouldn't be coming back, the friends made friendship bracelets to remind themselves of each other - and to give Elissa some hope.
A boat trip later, and she arrived in Seaside Town, Lanorae, ready to take on the challenges of being a trainer. Sort of.
