-Bages: Rising (Blackthorne), and Feather Badge (Fortree)
-Hometown/Region: Blackthorne City, Johto
-Personality: Soft spoken, though kind to all living things. Likes to meet new people, though because she’s quiet she can be mistaken as shy, and this is idea is reinforced in that she does not like the spotlight and doesn't go out of her way to lead others. Observant to the things around her. Very passionate, but can have difficulty expressing herself. Not aggressive or confrontational towards others except when she is protecting her pokemon or her own freedom. Moanna likes to go where the tides of life take her.
-Clothing: Black tights with leather boots, a colorful skirt with matching fingerless gloves, and an oversized hoodie or sweater that’s usually charcoal grey or black. Sometimes wears a beanie hat.
-Skills: Is a great caretaker of any type of pokemon; instinctively knows unsaid things about them, such as sickness or hunger or if they’re upset. She herself has psychic ability in that she gives off a powerful aura of her feelings that can be used to calm, or even upset, others if they are open to receiving. She is slightly aware of this ability, but by no means can she read other people’s auras or influence them to change unwillingly. This power makes it easy for her to befriend and care for wild pokemon, for which she has a passion for.

Extended Team History:
Moanna grew up outside of the Ice Path, on the outskirts of Blackthorne City. Her home was an inn, run previously by her mother Mary-Anne, but taken over by her father, Simon, after her mother’s untimely death. Being exposed to many trainers on their own travels, Moanna grew up desiring adventure. When she was old enough to wander off on her own, she began to slowly explore the ice caverns since she was, at the time, forbidden from going near the dragon cave. She made friends with the wild pokemon of the caverns and with their aid was able to explore deeper into the caverns that only experienced trainers could safely explore. During one of her explorations when she was seven, deep in the ice and snow of the caves, she found a sail fossil. When she brought back the fossil to show her father, he realized how deeply into the caves she would go and forbid her from entering the caves again. Moanna was very upset by this, but she would still go to the caves entrance and the cave’s pokemon would venture out on occasion to play with her in the snowy hills. It was during one of the hillside play sessions that Moanna caught a glimpse of Articuno; she was eight at the time.
Seeing Moanna’s love of pokemon, and also with the desire to keep her safe, Simon saved his money and had the sail fossil restored, presenting the amaura to Moanna on her tenth birthday. With her new pokemon, named Gale, Moanna pleaded with Simon to let her go on her own adventure, but he declined her wish, thinking that she was not experienced enough to be on her own and be safe. She was still forbidden from the dragon cave at this point, but Simon allowed her to venture into the ice caves once more now that she had her own pokemon by her side.
Over the years, with the help of the wild pokemon of the caves, Moanna and Gale trained hard together in order to go on their own adventure, fueled by the stories of the inn’s flow of trainers, and when Gale evolved into aurorus, Moanna was fourteen at the time, Moanna had the idea to challenge Blackthorne’s gym so she could prove how far the both of them had come. They both failed on their first attempt, but on their second try they earned the Rising Badge, and the gym leader Clair allowed her passage into the dragon cave. Moanna, after healing Gale, set out to the cave the same day and caught her first pokemon; a dratini she named Sinbad. With her badge and new pokemon, Moanna once again asked Simon if she could get her license to go on her adventure. Rather than giving her permission, her father determined she was getting to many ideas from the other trainers and closed the inn. Shortly after Moanna turned fifteen, he moved them to a new region, Hoenn, and they found their new home in a quiet treehouse in Fortree City.
Angered by the denial of her dream, Moanna ran away from home within the first few weeks of moving to Fortree. She wandered the grassy hills and wandered south, completely lost in the new region. With Gale and Sinbad by her side, however, and with her uncanny ability to befriend wild pokemon, no harm ever befell Moanna, and while travelling together Sinbad evolved into a dragonair.
Eventually, Moanna found herself outside Littleroot Town. While camping outside under the trees, a Ralts had wandered into their camp and sat by their campfire. After the wild Ralts had stayed with them for many days and seemed to have no intention of leaving, Moanna decided to capture it and named him Sweeney. Moanna turned sixteen not too long after, and while training in the forests outside Littleroot she met Professor Birch. He was very impressed with her ability to mingle with wild pokemon and got to know her over time. Moanna confided in him her desire to travel and to help wild pokemon. Without her knowledge, Birch contacted Simon and arranged a meeting between the two of them. Having their first words after Moanna had run away, the meeting between her and Simon did not go very well until Birch had expressed both sides’ feelings to the other. Simon understood that he could not hold on to his daughter forever, and agreed that if she returned with him and earned the badge from Fortree, he would help her get her papers to go on her own journey. Understanding how much she hurt her father by running away, Moanna agreed to the terms and returned to Fortree to train for another few years to earn the badge. Sweeney evolved into a kirlia during this time, and again into gardevoir.
Shortly before turning nineteen, Moanna successfully challenged the Fortree Gym and earned the Feather badge. On the day of her birthday, Simon presented Moanna with the papers necessary to venture on her own journey, along with another pokemon. The shiny feebas, named Lilo, he explained was his way of saying sorry for holding her back for so long and also that he believed that she would do great things. Moanna thanked him, telling him that the time had given her insight into her true dream. Though she wanted and loved travelling, she found out about her aura ability through training with Sweeney, and wanted to use this gift to help wild pokemon around the world and eventually, she hoped, she would be able to help Articuno, or another legendary pokemon.
