Well, really, a dock is sort of built on the shore and shallow water, while a harbor is more designed for access to deeper waters. I guess real difference is a dock is for smaller ships, and a harbor for larger ones, or for safe mooring on waters that can be dangerous without designated facilities. Does that make more sense?

Edit: Yes, I did research, because I'm a massive nerd. Hopefully I've helped to alleviate some confusion.

Ehh, it's another dull weekend. Was going to work on a project involving plastic bottles and cardboard, but my sister decided to clean up and get rid of the stuff I was stockpiling for a reason. She got a real earful from me. How dare she come into my private space and throw shit away without asking!

I don't know if it's too late to join, but I thought I'd submit this anyway. Please let me know if I can make any improvements.

Name: Cassandra Iron

Age: 15

Grade: Freshman / 1st year transfer student

Birthday: November 1st

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation/Romantic Orientation: Heterosexual

Height: 164 cm / 5' 4 1/2"

Weight: 55.34 kg / ~122 lbs

Physical Appearance: She has Auburn hair, brown eyes, and light olive skin.

Clothing: Outside of her uniform, Cassandra wears black sneakers, a blue shirt, gray pants, and an iron-gray jacket. On her wrist, she wears a Klasp skin bracelet--a present from the Pokémon that saved her life. Her signature cap is based on an Aegean wool fisherman cap.

Any Appearance notes: N/A

Personality: Cassandra is a kindhearted, determined young woman who loves meeting new people and Pokémon. She has an artist's eye and enjoys painting and putting stickers on her Poké Balls to make them more personable. Cassandra views Pokémon Battling as a showcase of the many talents of Pokémon rather than just a game of combat. She often worries about the future and feels uncomfortable about things she cannot see, understand, or control. In battle, she wants to win but also has fun. She's not afraid of backing down if her Pokémon look exhausted or miserable.

History: Cassandra is from a faraway region called Mithos, known for its competitive spirit and Olympic-style tournaments. She grew up in Chaplet Town with her father, who became good friends with the local Pokémon Professors Troy and Octavia. At thirteen, Cassandra received her first Pokémon, the fire bear cub starter known as Sizzly. While her father was initially against keeping "the little fire hazard," as he called it, he eventually grew to like the Pokémon.
Last year, while attending a summer camp at Kraun City, Cassandra met her best friend Hector. The two trainers placed a bet on who could obtain the most Gym Badges before the start of the school year. Hector ultimately won, but congratulated Cassandra on her effort.
When it came time for school, a letter arrived from the World School of the Elite that Cassandra had been approved for the upcoming year. Cassandra thought it was a mistake until she learned that one of the Gym Leaders she met at summer camp was sponsoring her trip. She agreed to go, hoping to improve her skills while also figuring out what a rich and powerful Gym Leader saw in a sheltered girl from Chaplet Town.

Any Medical Notes: N/A

Pokémon:
Nickname: Brandr
Species: Sizzly
Description: A red-orange bear cub with a black patch on its belly resembling a flame. Its black-tipped ears and tail catch are known to catch fire.
Ability: Blaze
Gender: Male
Nature: Lonely
Notes: When Cassandra tried to pet Brandr for the first time, he accidentally singed her fingers. This led to his nickname, meaning "firebrand." Despite their rough start, Brandr and Cassandra became fast friends. Their shared passion for flare and creativity makes them a formidable duo. Brandr likes showing off and considers himself the leader of the team. He is easily distracted. As such, his training has a long way to go. He likes spicy foods. He cannot stand anything sour.
Known Moves: Ember, Scratch, Bite, Slash, & Taunt.

Nickname: Domino
Species: Aron
Ability: Rock Head
Gender: Male
Nature: Adamant
Notes: Domino was the first Pokémon Cassandra caught in the wild. He was ostracized from his herd due to his lack of coordination. True to his name, Domino is notoriously clumsy, often tripping over his own feet. His larger-than-average head makes him top-heavy and thus less adept at executing successful charging attacks. Despite these shortcomings, Domino is loyal to a fault. He never hesitates to put himself in danger to protect his friends. He also has a fierce desire to prove himself. He hopes that undergoing evolution will allow him to correct some of his "faults" and prove to the world that he is not useless.
Known Moves: Metal Claw, Rock Tomb, Headbutt, Protect, & Rock Slide.

Nickname: Rusty
Species: Brawleon
Description: A rust-red fighting-type Eevee evolution with black eyes and boxing wraps around its ankles and waist. It has a star-shaped “scar” around its left eye and a tail resembling two strips of white hand wrap.
Ability: Scrappy
Gender: Male
Nature: Bold
Notes: Rusty is a feisty Pokémon with a lot of grit. As an Eevee, he trained under Master Valda, the Mithos Fighting-type Gym Leader, to become stronger and light on his feet. He first met Cassandra when she challenged Valda at the gym to get her Brawn Badge. Valda refused her challenge, saying she would not face Cassandra until she learned to think like a Pokémon. She assigned Rusty to tutor Cassandra in the ways of martial arts. At first, Rusty disliked Cassandra, believing she was slow and weak. As they trained, however, he realized Cassandra's creativity was another form of strength. When Valda finally agreed to let Cassandra face off against two of her Stalharts, Rusty joined the battle. Together, he and Cassandra beat Valda's champions. Rusty then evolved into Brawleon. Upon witnessing the transformation, Valda offered Rusty a choice: stay and continue training with her or go with Cassandra. Rusty chose the latter. While he is much kinder to Cassandra now, he sometimes rushes into battle without waiting for orders.
Known Moves: Calm Mind, Counter, Feint, Aura Sphere, & Last Resort.

Nickname: Aset
Species: Spectreon
Description: This Eevee evolution has purple and black fur and light purple mist-like flames on its head, shoulders, and tail. It has a diamond-shaped jewel on its forehead and light pink or purple eyes. Surrounding its eyes are deep purple or magenta symbols that resemble "the eye of Ra” from ancient Egypt. Its forelegs are manacled with broken translucent chains dangling from them.
Ability: Spooky (Enables Ghost-type moves to hit Normal-type Pokémon)
Gender: Female
Nature: Timid
Notes: Aset joined Cassandra's team voluntarily after witnessing her Pokémon in battle. Not much is known about her past. She is a mysterious and empathetic Pokémon who specializes in Special attacks. Cassandra sometimes feels that Aset is a guardian angel due to her dutiful and observant personality. She has a respectful rivalry with Rusty, a Pokémon with whom she shares a particular kinship. She finds Brandr and Domino amusing and appears to admire Cassandra.
Known Moves: Will-O-Wisp, Hex, Shadow Ball, Phantom Force, & Perish Song.
