PERSONALITY Kind- Wynter is a very kind person, often putting the comforts of others above her own. She doesn't mind helping someone out as long as she is sure she can help herself first. Because if she can't, how is she supposed to assist anyone else? Careful- Unless she is in a real panic, you'll never see Wynter lose her cool. She's cautious with everything she does, especially because one slip up could mean her life. Loyal- She has a hard time making friends because she doesn't know who she can trust these days, but once you find your way into her heart, Wynter is loyal to the core. She'll never let you down as long as she could help it. Generous- You think someone who's grown up in the Akiro province would be some stingy, greedy person. But Wynter finds that's it better to give as long as you have extras. She understands there are times in her province where you have to be selfish, but she has a soft spot for the elderly and children Motherly- This stems from taking care of her Fennekin, Wynter tends to act a lot like a mother hen. This makes her particularly good with dealing with Children Guarded- Despite all of her good aspects, Wynter is a very hard person to get to fully trust you with her secrets, her life. She's been solitary since she was twelve, and doesn't wish to reveal something to the wrong person. Stubborn- When she believes she is right, Wynter doesn't normally falter, and in arguments she can go for a long time...even if she's wrong. Flirtatious- Everyone has to have their fun right? She's a bit bold when it comes to flirting, but... no one said she knows what to do if a guy actually takes the bait. Outspoken- If she feels something is wrong, you better believe she'll let you know, even if it puts her in danger, people that just shoot off their mouth is something she just can't stand for. Sensitive- She talks a big talk, but when it comes right down to it, if you push back to hard and yell at her, she'll probably cry about it, even if it isn't in front of you. Its something she's trying to work on...since she knows she's normally the one who keeps pushing.

HISTORY Wynter was named because of her parents hope for snow. Living in a wasteland had always been hard business.They had hard times, trying to support their child when they barely liked each other as it was. No, Wynter's parents were paired together at young ages, and they had never gotten along well to begin with. But the one thing they did have in common was their wish for snow. It was the one think that kept them going on those horrid days. The family, though often they wouldn't let themselves call them that, was part of a traveling Caravan of Gypsies. In Akiro, if you didn't travel, you were sure to die, staying in one place for too long. And that was how Wynter grew up. There were other children in their traveling community, but she didn't often play with them for long hours in the day. No, she was a lot more interested in the Folklore and the Songs performed by her fellow Gypsies day to day. She loved to sit around, listen to them, absorb them. Many people commented her parents, Steven and Yazmin, on how intelligent their child was, insisting on sitting and listening rather than staying up playing all day. Though life was hard, and often they never had enough to eat, Wynter was happy. She was always well tempered, and she didn't complain about anything that was given to her. But she also stood up for herself, if someone was doing something she didn't like. When she turned eight, her Gypsy Ward realized that she had the singing voice, to become one of those Folklore Tellers/Singers, which she had for so long hoped to be. She instantly accepted the offer to tell stories alongside her new mentor, a Gypsy nicknamed Runner, nightly. She was a natural at it, and the ward found themselves getting even more tips, with their new young addition. Though there was one person in the ward that always mocked her ambitions. An older boy, but not by much, three years maybe, named Timothy. Timothy constantly told her of how stupid story telling was, and how he'd much rather be out doing mine work. She despised him, and he disliked her. Though, to protect their own population, their parents decided, when Wynter turned eleven, and Timothy turned fifteen, that they'd be bonded together for life. Wynter was devastated. She had told many stories of true love, and of love lost, and it had even made her hope that one day, she'd find her own true love. But marrying Timothy, she'd never do that. Especially when he promised her he'd strip her of her career and reduce her to a mere housewife...or as close as you could get to a housewife as a nomad. It was the night before the ceremony when she decided enough was enough. She packed a small bag and donned a cloak, and began setting out from the ward. But what she hadn't realized was that she had awoken her mother and her father's baby Fennekin, both of which followed after her until they found an appropriate ways away to try and convince her to go back. Wynter broke, explaining to them that she couldn't go back and marry Timothy, even if it meant she'd be on the run for the rest of her life. The two Pokemon seemed concerned about the idea, but eventually let their sympathy win them over, and they let her go...and they went too. For the next few years, Wynter made a living as a solo story teller, and no one seemed to realized she was on the run. She went undercover, using the nickname she had chosen herself. Everyone knew her as Monsoon the Storyteller. She as well gave both Fennekin new names, Solstice and Eclipse. No one suspected them, and they lived off their tips and income,but at eighteen, Wynter realized she wouldn't be able to make it on her own for much longer. That was when the Ozone Ward, as they called themselves found her. They explained they were a group of Gypsies that didn't force their members to marry, only acted as if they did. So Wynter, for the time being, settled with the Ozone Ward, doing her part to make money in exchange for shelter and as much food as they could get. It wasn't until she was twenty that she parted with them again, to live how she had before. She loved the ward but she began to notice that some people were getting less food than they should have because she was there. Now, she remains on the run from her home ward, and she can only hope they don't catch up to her.

EXTRAS

• Wynter is terrified of desert Pokemon, since she often ran into mean ones during her travels.

• Her best talent is her story telling and singing. It's the only thing she can make a living off of.
• She likes baking because she tried it a few times at some of her caravan stops and loved it.
