Traits
Rough - Shira is not a nice person and she makes no attempt to hide this fact. She's rough and tumble, sharp edged and naturally suspicious and has a strong dislike for humans. She brooks no interference with herself or her team, and tends to react with violence first and words second.
Suspicious - Shira doesn't trust people. She is always suspicious of people and the motives behind what others do. She trusts pokemon more easily than humans, but that's not saying much given she can count on one hand the number of humans she trusts.
Hidden Kindness - The gentler side of Shira is hidden, a weakness which she protects ferociously, feeling that it will only serve to get her hurt. Still, she can't help but be gentle with those who are young.
Territorial - It might sound like a strange thing, for a travelling pokemon trainer to be the territorial sort, yet, that is exactly what Shira is. She doesn't like people touching her things, or getting to close to where she is sleeping. While she will share a camping space if there is no other choice, she prefers to have her chosen overnight sleeping space to herself and her pokemon and no other.

Appearance
General - Shira's pokemorph nature is inescapably obvious. One only has to look at her to see that she is not human. Some will judge her on that alone, while others will watch the deadly grace in the way she walks and the sharp points to her smile, and think on what they see.
'morph Traits - Shira is not human. You only have to look at her to see it, though some differences are more subtle than others. The most obvious one is that she is very definitely not any kind of human colouring. She has a soft downy peach-fuzz fur rather than the thin hair that most humans sport. A thick tail sprouts from where a normal human’s spine would end. The tail itself ends in a sharp point, shaped like a bolt of lightning. Long nimble hands have slender fingers tipped in sharp semi retractable claws rather than nails. Each foot, rather than ending in the five tiny useless toes of an ordinary human, instead ends in three large pads like those of a Raichu. Two long slender ears rise out of her hair, their shape a slightly elongated variant of a normal pair of raichu ears. She has slightly elongated canine teeth, giving her a sharp edge to her smile.
Height - 5'07", not including the ears.
Build - Lithe.
Skintone - Rather than any of the standard range of human skin tone, Shira's skin is a strong orange shade, with a brown shade tipping her toes and forming high glove like markings that end just above the elbow. A white colour marks from her jaw down her neck, chest and abdomen.
Scars - The marks of hard living can be seen upon Shira's body. A myriad of little scars cover her body. Most are simple raised lines upon her form, but some have been bad enough to silver the peach-fuzz fur which covers her body.
Hair - Shira wears her thick brown hair short and shaggy, mostly because she cuts it herself. It generally hangs around shoulder length.
Eyes - Brown.
Body Dominance - Ambidexterous.
Clothing - Her clothing choice is a fairly simple thing, typically wearing a plain black tanktop and black pants so wide and loose they could easily be mistaken for a long skirt, with a thin slit in the back to accommodate her tail. A wide leather belt with a round buckle with a lightning bolt etched into it and settings for several pokeballs and fingerless black gloves complete the outfit. Because of the shape of her feet, it is impossible for her to wear shoes.
Extras - Shira is unusually flexible, her natural range of movement akin to that of a professional ballerina or gymnast. She also has a far greater sense of balance, thanks to her tail. More importantly though, thanks to being a raichu morph, she’s completely lightning proof and can in fact generate small amounts of electricity. It’s not enough to really do anything with, mostly she just sparks a bit when she’s upset, can give people (and Pokemon) mild/harmless shocks, and she tends to overload machinery if she’s not careful. Whatever you do, don’t let her near a computer if she’s upset, they tend to blow up.

History
Age 0 - 7
- Shira knows nothing of where she comes from. Her earliest memories are of life in an overcrowded understaffed orphanage in the poor side of one of Hoenn's big cities. Her only true company is her daemon, Rin. Being a little pichu morph
age 8 - 9
- Sick of being mistreated, Shira and Rin escape the orphanage.
Age 10
- Shira passes by the orphanage and hears it has been shut down. Her happiness triggers an evolution, just as happiness triggers evolution in a pichu to a pikachu. Her change triggers one within Rin, and Rin starts taking Luxio forms more often than Shix forms. She also seems stronger and healthier than she once had been.
Age 11 - 16
- With their newly evolved forms, life became much easier for Shira and Rin. They gain a whole new level of talent in petty pilfering, and for several years their life, while not easy, is better than either can remember it ever being.
Age 17
- Everything changes when Shira and Rin run into a shiny Igglybuff being menaced by a trio of Electrike. With the young pokemon cornered by electrical wires, Shira uses her stregth to lift them up, while Rin ducks in and drags the Igglybuff to safety. As soon as her daemon and the pokemon are safe, Shira drops the wires, barly managaging to make it a safe distance away before passing out.
- When she wakes (Which is in and of itself a surprise) Shira finds herself confronted by the green eyed igglybuff and a massive luxray, whom she takes a moment to realise is Rin. She has evolved once again, the massive amounts of power in the wires simultating the saem kind of energy as a thunderstone, leaving Shira a tall flexible raichu morph
- The Igglybuff chooses to stay with them. Shira names her Riya
- Shira and Rin eventually realise that Rin has settled as a luxray.
- Thieving is more difficult now that she is a raichu and not as lightning fast as she once was. After much discussion with Rin and Riya, they decide to try getting a place as an official pokemon trainer. To Shira's eternal surprise, she gets a license. Immediately Shira and Rin set out on a journey, with Riya as their 'starter'.
Age 18
- Shira's first new pokemon is a little charmander, fresh from a shipment from Kanto the pokemon professor.
- Shira's first catch is a poochyena, Nyx.
- By the time they go to face the league, Shira has a full team of six fully evolved pokemon with her.
- Shira and her pokemon win the league
Age 19
- Shira leaves Hoenn and heads for Kalos
- After some thought, Shira decides to start again, heading to the pokemon professor to get a new 'starter' pokemon.
- Her first pokemon is a Chespin, Brigand.
- By thte time she challenges the league, Shira has another full team of six.
- Once again, Shira comes out victorious over a pokemon league.
Age 20
- Hearing about the acceptance of pokemorphs in the Enera Region, Shira and Rin decide to take a chance and have a look. Finding the region to be to their liking, Shira takes the money she has saved from her battling victories, and buys a run down farm. It is ahrd work to get the place back into good shape, but she finds she enjoys the work.
- At the encouragement of Riya, Navi and Tamika, Shira and Rin head out for another journey, this time deciding to challenge the league in their newly adoptaed home region.
- Their starter pokemon is a shy Purrlion whom they name Auva.
- The first pokemon they meet is a bidoof. During the battle, Shira is highly impressed by the bidoof's attitude. when the battle is over, Shira asks him to come with them. The bidoof agrees, and is named William.
- In the middle of one night, a Jirachi comes to her. The rather young seeming pokemon is seeking a person to show her what family is like. The Jirachi, who refers to itself as female, has chosen Shira to be her person.

RIN
Name: Rin
Gender: Female
Form: Luxray
Age Settled: 17
-------------
Thoughts on Form
Shira and Rin have never thought too much on her form. Rin has always been restricted to the forms of the shinx evolutionary line. They do appreciate what it says about them that Rin has settled as the largest and most fearsome of the line. As a luxray, they are a pack pokemon, fierce and aggressive, and at the same time extremely loyal and faithful to those they care about.
-------------
Personality
Rin appears in many ways to be the complete opposite of her human half. Openly caring and the proud owner of a mothering streak a mile wide, Rin is definitely more approachable than her human is. Where Shira struggles with a sometimes explosive temper, Rin is calm and collected, seemingly icy cool in almost every situation. Rin is usually the voice of reason in Shira’s little group.
She does have a daredevil side to her, and Rin is always a willing participant in Shira’s crazy schemes, though she will step up and talk Shira down if the plans start getting to far fetched.
-------------
Appearance
In appearance Rin seems to be a perfectly normal Luxray, though she is a bit on the slender side. The only thing to visually tell her apart from a normal Luxray is the thick black collar she wears around her neck.
