THE vengeful POKEMON

| twenty-nine. | trans female. | resistance. | nurse. |
APPEARANCE
nell is a woman of fairly average height and build, standing only a little bit tall at 5'7. she's lithe and strong, but not in a way that's immediately apparent. rather, with her more slender build, it's easy to mistake her for someone who can be bossed around, her cat-like grace hidden underneath clothes. she does, admittedly, like to show off her figure and her curves in warmer weather, with tight-fitting tank tops, cargo pants, and combat boots.
her left arm, noticeably, doesn't match the rest of her skin, which is a normal, pale fleshy tone. it's pitch black, and the fine mechanisms are attached to her shoulder. it's an advanced prosthetic that allows her to move it as if it was flesh and bone, but she can't feel anything with it. on the left side of her face, neck, and leg, if one looks closely, they may realize skin has been grafted there, likely to repair old scar tissue or flesh that had been burned away.
she sports long, snow white hair that tends to fall over the left side of her face. her eyes are a brilliant blue, but they're so often narrowed in scorn that it's difficult to make out their color. she has a petite pixie nose and a heart-shaped face with a fairly strong chin. she rarely wears makeup, and doesn't go out of her way to glamorize herself at all, signifying that she's a down-to-earth person.

PERSONALITY
| POSITIVE - fiery, passionate. - loyal. - quick-witted, sharp reflexes. - physically capable. - righteous. NEGATIVE - hot-tempered. - stubborn. - rash, impulsive. - crude, vulgar. - combative. | nell is made of fire. she's capable of extreme kindness and extreme cruelty, depending on who you ask. while she's fiercely loyal to her family and her friends, she's quick to judge, too, and will often act to harm others if she's perceived them to be a threat. she despises both plasma and the resistance, but she's able to hide her disdain for the resistance so she can continue working for them. barely. as this would imply, nell is quite temperamental and sharp-tongued. even with the people she cares about, she tends to heap abuse on them and pretend like she doesn't care, picking fights about inconsequential things. she's foul-mouthed, and a woman of few words until one really gets her going. she'll claim she prefers to be left alone, because she's incapable of communicating her desire for companionship. thankfully, she's also not that difficult to see through. she's also a woman of action. she knows how to fight, and she's not afraid to use those skills to defend herself or to launch an assault. in fact, her temper often gets the best of her and she jumps to conclusions before truly understanding a situation, which has landed her in hot water quite a few times. she's pragmatic, and always carries at least one knife around with her at all times. she's paranoid, too, always keeping one eye open. she doesn't trust easily; she may have done something kind for you, but that doesn't mean you've won her heart. all of this is a stark (hah) contrast with her role as a nurse. in truth, she entered the occupation before her personality became warped in this manner. underneath she's still the same person, but she's become so obsessed with destroying those who harmed her that she's lost sight of who she is. |
BACKGROUND
nell led an ordinary life, once upon a time. she had a mother and father who cared deeply for her, and two younger siblings who she would protect with her life. she was the black sheep of the family, being quicker to act and quicker to anger than all of them, but they cared for her and accepted her regardless. their care is what inspired her to pursue a career in the medical field, so she could help care for others, and protect them. and for the first 22 years of her life, everything was fine! she went to college, she got a degree in nursing after applying herself to her studies, she studied martial arts on the side in order to better protect herself...
her mistake was working at st. jaspers. she was there, when it was bombed, and that is where she sustained life-threatening injuries and burns. her left arm was destroyed completely, the left side of her body badly burned. she had to relearn how to walk, and she had to shell out a large amount of money for a decent prosthetic. as she lay there in the hospital bed, her anger burned under her skin. she was determined to get back at the resistance for what they did, to her, and to everyone else at the hospital.
she joined plasma, once she got back on her feet. but it didn't sit right with her. the more time she spent there, the more she saw what they were doing was wrong. evil, even. her rage grew hotter and hotter, as she witnessed so many injustices on both sides of the spectrum. she trained herself and her pokemon, and she tried to do good where she could, but it was never enough.
finally, when she was just barely 28, she snapped. during a routine mission for plasma, where she and another plasma agent were sent to apprehend lawbreakers, she was shocked to find the people they came to arrest were only children, no older than 14. they resisted, and her "partner" used brute force to restrain them, cracking one over the head so he would likely never awaken again.
nell lost her temper. the moment that happened, her knife was out, and that plasma agent's life was over. she told the kids to run.
when she returned to headquarters, she told everyone that the "criminals" had killed the other agent. but she knew she'd be found out eventually, so... she dropped off the face of the earth for a while, going into hiding where not even her family could find her. and when she resurfaced, she joined the resistance.
not because she supported them, but because she wanted to burn this whole damn region to the ground and rebuild it so it could be safe again.
