PERSONALITY ◄ CALM - Keeps a level head in trying situations and generally describes her entire outward persona. Effie sees no point in letting herself to panic over something that can be remedied with some effort on her part. Steady and cool-headed is how she functions and alternatively she doesn't have a lot of patience for the counterpart. Brash and impulsive individuals put a strain on her mentality and are one of the few people that can cause her to act out in aggravation. ◄ DEVOTED - With her father standing as one of the Citadel's most profound political figures it goes without saying that by play of childhood influence Effie has a clear and resolute sense of devotion to her home and it's inhabitants. As a result she enlisted herself in the capital's main police force while continuing her pokémon training. Intent on becoming as great a dragon tamer as her mother. Once something is deemed precious to her she'll go through hell and high water to protect it. Be it inanimate or a person. ◄ AMBITIOUS - Having her sights set on a goal she's more than ready to achieve no matter the lengths. Such ambition serving alongside her devoted spirit has lead her to become on of the more skilled battlers of The Citadel as well as an admirable law enforcer. She has a strong need to succeed in what she does with her life to the extent of maximizing her resources and personal ability. But beyond her career and training there's little else she finds worth pursuing. ◄ MATURE - Effie likes to act beyond her years with a sense of professionalism. She stands to take full responsibility for her actions and has the capability to act and think for herself outside of following direct orders yet even then if something conflicts with her moral compass she'll trust her intuition to make the right decision and deal with the consequences if any. ◄ SARCASTIC - Effie has a bland sense of sarcasm. Being that she'll never really show much emotion whenever she does make a remark. This is a side of her that's shown mainly toward the aforementioned hotheads which really only succeeds in riling them up more. Either way she gets some kind of personal satisfaction from getting on people's nerves with her comments. ◄ GUARDED - She doesn't confide in many people and prefers to keep her inner turmoil under wraps. But it's always better to talk to people rather than bottle up emotions. The few who she can 'be herself' around consisted of her mother before she passed away several years ago and typically well-trusted friends from childhood. Although even then she's reluctant to do so, not wishing to push her burdens onto anyone else. ◄ MORAL - Of course the world can't be perfect but she'll damn well try her best in the works. As a capital inhabitant she cares little for what lies beyond their sanctum city but from within it's confines Effie assists in keeping the peace. Possessing a strong sense of right and wrong is enviable but unfortunately her views are sometimes slandered by those of the leading government officials; which leaves her conflicted yet still blissfully unaware of the civilizations outside that were long thought dead. ◄ CREATIVE - Using art as a form of self expression Effie likes to display some artistic talent via sketching in her free time or whenever the urge arises within reason. She may also think up alternative ways to combat an issue which others might call impractical but more often than not work in her favour. As a mediocre artist she also finds enjoyment in viewing other works created over the years and those in the past. ◄ GULLIBLE - Only slightly and it pretty much falls to every inhabitant of the capital. Her views of the world and what lies beyond their city are easily swayed by the reigning 'monarchs' of the pokéworld. She's quick to believe their so-called truths and the like, mainly because of her families involvement with them and quite honestly going against them is neither wise or beneficial to yourself. | [DIS]LIKES ◄ + dragons ◄ + mint ice-cream ◄ + justice ◄ + heights ◄ + art ◄ + training ◄ + firearms ◄ + silver ◄ - cigarettes ◄ - boredom ◄ - idiots ◄ - liars ◄ - spicy food ◄ - betrayal ◄ - intense cold ◄ - blood |
POKEMON  aidin, sapsipper, female - - - - - ● sludge wave ● dragon pulse ● thunderbolt ● flamethrower | HISTORY ◄ Effie was born and raised in the Citadel, quite obviously. Being raised on the illusion that the capital's inhabitants were more or less the sole remaining hope for the prosperity of humanity now that he rest of the world was gone to shit. They didn't know any better, and those that dared to question 'why?' weren't dealt with leniently. ◄ Her family was exceedingly wealthy. Enough to entitle them to an entire estate on the city's residential level. This was thanks to her politician of a father whom she saw very little of thanks to his line of occupation; having to commute and practically live in the fifth layer for most of Effie's young life. ◄ Alternatively this left her to spend most of her childhood with her mother who unfortunately even then had already submitted to a decline in health, which only seemed to worsen as the years went on. Nevertheless, the time that she spent in the company of her mother fed her desire to pursue the very same vocation concerning dragon-types. ◄ She hatched her goomy at the age of seven and from there continued learning under the tutelage of her mother. Lessons in which she would be taught what her tutors could not, mainly the story of her own heritage and the distinct lineage that revolved around their specialized training. ◄ At the age of thirteen her mother had eventually passed away from her terminal illness, leaving her daughter lost and confused for some time with little else to focus on other than her training as a way of relenting the grief. In what little she did see of her father at that point was nothing more than curt and polite responses. ◄ In joining the Citadel's primary law enforcement she found a secondary method of forgetting her mother's absence. What had originally started out as a suppression of grief even after two years eventually became something she enjoyed doing. Quickly rising in the ranks thanks to her profound skill in both arms and pokémon training. ◄ While her father would have much preferred she get married and start her own family Effie remained resolute against it. Although it still doesn't stop him from attempting to pair her up with potential matches even to this day. Much to her annoyance. At present she's lost track of how many suitors she's been forced to reject thanks to the man's persistence. |
EXTRAS
◄ - She comes from a family of well renowned dragon tamers on her mother's side and is extremely wealthy thanks to her father's governmental standing.
◄ - Her most prized possession is a scale that became crystallized over centuries. While unaware of the dragon it came from she wears on a thin leather cord as a necklace. It's her family's heirloom.
◄ - Aidin the sliggoo is the only progeny of her mother's goodra and her father's drudggion. She hatched the egg herself as a child and the dragon is currently her only pokémon. Though she gets more than a little excited whenever she see's another dragon-type.
◄ - She's naturally curious of what exists beyond the dome, even if it is just wastelands as she's been led to believe. She's managed to beat down her inquisitive nature for now though.
