PERSONAL DETAILS

DESCRIPTION:
Meyrl's first defining feature is her height. She stands tall at 6' 2", with mousy blonde hair that falls to the same length, wrapped in a white sash into a thin tail that takes up the width of her spine and reaches at least to her ankles. She has a well-defined, hourglass figure, evenly preportioned with gracious curves and tanned skin. He legs are long and smooth, hiding away the muscle underneath, her arms very much the same way. Her chest size is at least a low D, but the clothing she wears often doesn't emphasize them. She carries herself very happily, her pace chipper and swift. Often, it looks like her eyes are closed, which hide very dark brown pupils that look very serious and unfeeling, when in fact they're not, or at least not usually. With her looks and demeanor, people would often underestimate her, which is often a huge mistake. She often wears a school uniform, comprised of a white undershirt and tie, a garnet vest, red and white plaid skirt, accompanyed by knee socks and small brown shoes. Her ninja or 'training attire' is a kimono of the same length, though it is sleeveless and is colored similar to cherry blossom pink.

PERSONALITY:
Meyrl is amazingly chipper and happy throughout most of her days. She often is very bubbly to all friends and family, along with most complete strangers. She takes happiness from everything in life, gazing in splendor at everything from the trees to a colony of ants to her own hair, playing with it alot by fluttering it and curling around her finger. She deals with her training and arduous tasks with the same gusto for life, but with only a small tinge of seriousness, her eyes increasing to open as she gets more serious, so when you see all of her eyes, things are about...TO GO DOWN! Once she gets this way, one would not want to trifle with her, she'd flip you in a heartbeat. She has a great affinity with those that train Fighting types and will often herself spar with said Pokemon. She also is impressed with those Fighting Pokemon that have harnessed Psychic moves, accomplishing melding body and mind into an excellent weapon: the ultimate goal of a ninja. She speaks in a way that often confuses most with just how oblivious she seems, but often shocks them with her wide insight on philisophical subjects rather than intellectual ones. Her Pokemon are more of her friends than her fighting partners, getting along extremely well with Lilith and of course being foiled by 'straight-man' Sherman. Even then, she'll listen to her Pokemon and consider their COAs on a situation or just taking their advice, for she may have the final say, she doesn't want to upset her team.

HISTORY:
Meyrl was raised as happy, exciteable child. She always got along with other children, she was always kind to her elder, and very well-behaved. The same is true today, though she's being trained to become and ultimate warrior of stealth: a ninja. During the first several days of her training, while she was maybe 13 or 14, her attention to technique was very short-sighted and would go into anything with gusto, even if she had no idea what she was doing, and therefore, was very unsuccessfull in her first stages of training. She succeeded in strength and speed tests, but patience...patience was not something she had learned. Then, one day early in the morning, she was not greeted by her normal instructers, but by a small ovalur shape. It was a base clay red, with a small curve pattern circuling it on the bottom. On it was a note:

"If one does not know patience, then one only knows half of the path. Raise this with this virture, and you will be ready."

Cryptic nonsense, she first thought, raising eggs?! That had nothing to do with becoming a ninja! But, a test was a test, so for days, she went about her days with distracted focus as she passed by friends, family, and several other things almost staring at the thing with every fiber of her being. Her grades began to slip more and more, her training became less and less important to her. It was all about the egg. Soon, after several months, she finally had it up to the ceiling with the oval, but then she tried to calm herself she looked out the window, into the cherry blossoms that had yet to bloom. She loved to see them bloom, to watch them as they grew...that was it! If she could show patience for flowers, than she could show patience with this egg. Everything needed time, and it was up to her whether to wait it out or not. She finally realized that this is what her master had intended for her. To look past anger and find her serenity and patience. And with that, her eyes went from anger to calm, sitting with her legs crossed, putting the egg in the crook of them, wrapping her arms around it. And then, the egg went up in a flash of light. It was replaced with a small, adorable Vulpix. From then, the two were inseperable. They learned together, slept together, and lived together for years. Then, on an exploration of an old shrine on the edge of the forest on command from the master to investigate phenomana there, they noticed a pack of Beedrill chasing down a green ball with wings: a Natu upon closer observation.

Meryl and the Vulpix, Lilith, set out to dispatch the enraged Pokemon, Vulpix using a well used Hypnosis to send them to sleep. The Natu bowed to them in gratitude and waddled back to a nest inside the shrine, things starting to levitate as it did so. So...this was the cause of the disturbance. She crouched down to the creature's height and held out a hand in friendship. It was quickly followed by a throw of a pokeball and a new member was added to their group. And now they go on to live out their lives.

Only a tiny revision, and then you'll be approved no problem.

"Soon, after several months, she finally had it up to the ceiling with the oval, but then, in her anger, she finally realized that this is what her master had intended for her. To look past anger and find her serenity and patience."

Please elaborate. How, exactly, did she realise that to be patient was the key? Was it the realisation over something she was about to do in rash anger, such as smash the egg, or did she pull a Robert the Bruce and watch a spider swing over to a web or such the like, or was it a revelation from simply thinking about it? This needs only to be a sentence long and you're good to go. Also, out of curiosity, have you had any thought on which gym leader you'd face first or is that a case of "see how it all pans out"?

Now go, grasshopper.
