Name: Anastasia
Gender: Female
Age: Early Thirties
Trainer Class: Battler (Focuses on Doubles or More)
Physical Appearance: A woman standing at 5’6, Anatasia is all sharp edges and defined lines with a muscular build. She's not the most conventionally attractive woman with a large nose and a serious appearance brought on by a strong jaw and a prominent brow that overshadows her dark brown eyes. Her short, dark brown hair goes a little past her ears and is cut in a very simple style. Her heavily tanned skin covered in all manners of nicks and bruises as well as a few scars, and the way she carries herself radiates a quiet confidence. Her voice is low and sounds almost masculine.
Clothing: (May change lol. Did some research and went a bit overboard >-<) A slim burgundy jacket with a water resistant exterior and a layer of fleece lining the interior with three pockets on the outside--two on the side and a breast pocket (left when facing her, her right)--and two on the inside which are also located on the sides. It’s often worn over her long sleeved button-up shirt or a tank top which she likes to pair with hiking pants or shorts. She also has a rain jacket and a pair of rain pants for rainy or extremely windy days and a pair of warmer, softer shirts and leggings which she typically wears as pajamas and two pairs of undergarments and socks. She has a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of sandals.
Personality: With defined opinions, training expertise, and heavy experience in battling due to her background, Anastasia has a confidence in her abilities that may seem to borderline on arrogance. She tends to be untalkative at first, almost brooding at times, but that can change, especially when she’s with people she’s comfortable with, though she still certainly talks quite a bit slower than others. She tends to state her opinions bluntly, though she rarely does so out of spite unless she feels slighted. However, being short-tempered, that’s not really a hard thing to do, and she has a tendency to hold grudges as well. When provoked, she tends to respond with violence or sharp comments, though the time she’s spent serving has caused her to resort to the first a little less rapidly.
Backstory: Anastasia was born to a single mother in a poor and rather rundown part of town. Her mother worked multiple jobs to keep them afloat, but she tried to raise her daughter well, teaching her daughter to stay out of fights and to try her best in school and do all of her homework, helping out when she could. And though Anastasia did her best at first, she found herself struggling with school and isolated from the rest of the community before she even made it to middle school. She ended up having a troubled childhood despite her mother’s best efforts, fighting a lot of fights and generally flunking. But for a variety of reasons, she found herself drawn to the military.
That began another chapter in her life. Her training changed her and she found a place for herself, meeting many of her closest friends along the way. She was off-duty when the Second Darkest Day occurred, finding herself aiding defense of her hometown while she waited for orders. From then on, she travelled the world, sent to reinforce cities or towns under the threat of attack, during the Ultra Wars and after the sealing of the Ultra Portals.
She was in Galar when tragedy struck. As the air crackled with electricity and flame danced across the ground, she found herself burning through her Fortitude in an attempt to push back a horde before blacking out, her teammates carrying her away before she was buried beneath the mass of Pokemon.
She was lucky enough to wake up a few weeks later, though discovering that her closest partner had died and that her others were given after having her ability to manipulate and generate Fortitude crippled was far from pleasant, to say the least. Perhaps her one saving grace was the Joltik that had hidden in her jacket hood and came with her to the hospital.
During the next few months, she would form a bond with her Joltik and decide to join the Bronze League.
