Saffron City, Kanto

5'8''

Weight:
114 lbs

Hair:
Wavy light blonde hair parted midways, occasionally put in a ponytail.

Clothing:
When around people she knows, Andy keeps a more formal yet still casual outfit:

A white dress shirt with a black ribbon tie for a top, a casual baby blue cardigan as an additional when it's windy or cold, a pleated white skirt with a belt and cream-colored lace up boots for bottoms.

When Andy is off traversing forests or mountains, she switches to a more appropriate outfit:

A simple white t-shirt, and an added aviator jacket for a top, a pair of cargo shorts and more appropriate hiking boots for bottoms, however if the climate is more colder, the cargo shorts would be switched for denim jeans.

Identifying Marks:
Andy has a scar on her right palm that a wild Purrloin inflicted, Andy continuously refuses to heal it and insists that it makes her feel more cooler.

Musculature:
Considering Andy's many moments of climbing trees and running across rushing rivers, she has a slightly lean and fit body, perfect for running and hiking.

Personality:
Many would perceive Andy as a gentle and kind girl, graceful and poised, she displays this personality mainly around family members or relatives, but as soon as they're gone, the real Andy comes out and introduces herself.

A mischievous and impish girl appears, a complete opposite of Andy's usual facade, always energetic, excited, and playful, Andy also becomes quite stubborn, not listening to others when it comes to advice or warnings to her adventures, though she still partly listens to Swablu.

Although Andy goes through a very abrupt and quick change of personalities, some traits still prove to stay, Andy is still her same caring and loyal self when it comes to her Pokemon and people she trusts.

Overall Andy likes seeking out and discovering new locations and destinations, be it cities or forest ranges alike, its even gotten to a point where it could be considered an obsession even.

Skills:
Photography

Ever since Andy learned of her mother's occupation, it interested her enough to eventually take on that same hobby, and her skills improve with every photo, angle, and background she has ever taken.

Basic Weapons

Considering her father never allowed Andy to have weapons of any kind, she had to settle for a baseball bat she found in her home's attic, must've been from Matthew's younger days.

First-Aid
Because of her occasional minor injuries, Andy learned how to basic first-aid and carries a first-aid pack with her at all times.

Agility
What Andy lacks in strength she makes up for with her fast reflexes, whether it's quickly climbing trees or balancing herself on uneven ground.

Pokemon Battling
Ever since Andy got a Pokemon of her own, she's been trying to learn how to do Pokemon battles just in case something or someone doesn't want to cooperate.

Past:
As a child, Andy was always perceived as fragile and vulnerable by her father, after losing his wife, Matthew has always kept Andy indoors in fear of her hurting herself. This led to Andy eventually discovering her mother's office and with it, a book full of photographs around the world. Apparently her mother was a travel photographer, this fascinated Andy to a point where she'd often sneak outside behind her father's back and take photographs of local forests to add within her mother's archive.

These newfound information and photographs made Andy go out into the wilderness more and more everyday, taking pictures of landscapes, cities, and mountains alike, it was at this moment Andy was discovering she has a knack for adventuring, discovering new and unknown places. While most children were out there becoming the best there ever was, Andy's only goal was to finish her mother's archive with photographs from across different regions.

Occasionally this new hobby would bring a few cuts and bruises from her adventures, Matthew would be mortified to see Andy like this, yet would never know how exactly she got these injuries. Eventually with a bit of hesitation, Matthew caved in and got Andy a Pokemon of her own, not to travel the world and battle others though, hence why it's a more of a gentler and fluffier kind.

For most of her teenage years, Andy was always limited to what her closed off section of Virbank, Unova had to offer which led to her not quite reaching her goal. Until her father got a call from a relative, suggesting they should move to Kanto for a fresh start, seeing as how Matthew wanted so hard to forget about the sorrows of Andy's mother passing away, he eventually accepted and told his daughter about the news, Andy was ecstatic and excited as it would entail a fresh start and a whole new chapter of her life, and so they packed their belongings and left for the Kanto region.

It had since been a year when they had first moved to Kanto, and yet Andy still has more destinations to discover and photograph, there's still blank pages in her archive that need new pictures and notes after all.

Personality:
Swablu just like Andy is a bit mischievous and playful under his calm and gentle exterior, albeit more careful about his surroundings thanks to his incredible hearing ability. Swablu is almost always the one who tells Andy whether something would be too dangerous or risky, but there's only so much Swablu could say and do to stop Andy from doing something she might regret, he still nonetheless tries his best to warn her.
