APPEARANCE
Standing at the height of 5'5" and weighing 121 pounds, Deirdre has a petite and slender figure. She retains a youthful appearance which only enhances her natural beauty. Her hazel eyes are vibrant and full of life despite the hardships she had been through most of her life, while her smile is often described as infectious. With dark brown hair that touches past her waist, Deirdre usually keeps it down or in a side ponytail. She washes it daily to keep it soft and clean, enhancing its shine as well as the natural curls. She has pale skin that is free of any blemishes and acne, except for a single small birthmark that can be found on the back of her neck.
The young woman is very mindful of her wardrobe, though she tends to wear light-colored clothing in various styles. In the past, the young woman had never paid any mind to how she dressed or appeared in front of others. Back when she was just a child, she wore dark and baggy attire; dark circles were evident underneath her eyes and she had a much paler complexion. However, over time, Deirdre started taking better care of herself by eating properly and exercising daily. She tends to include flower adornments and ribbons in her locks of hair.

PERSONALITY
| POSITIVE - Accepting - Compassionate - Empathetic - Honest - Polite NEGATIVE - Cautious - Envious - Gullible - Insecure - Stubborn | Deirdre is an incredibly sweet individual Selfless and compassionate, the young woman strives to find the good in those she encounters. She is not one to hold a grudge, for she has learned to forgive those who have wronged her. She genuinely wants to help others in any way she can, ignoring the fact that she's just a mere civilian. Once you've gained her trust and loyalty, you have earned a friend for life. While Deirdre is known for her kind demeanor, she also has a fiery temper. She will not tolerate anyone looking down on her and will do everything in her power to prove that she isn't as helpless or weak as others make her out to be. Many have taken advantage of her trusting nature, due to how she makes an effort to find the good in people. She also has low self-esteem and confidence because she has been harassed and bullied for being different from everyone else. People often underestimate Deirdre when the first meet her. However, she is more than capable of standing up and defending herself from those who would do her or her loved ones harm. A hopeless romantic by nature, Deirdre is a firm believer in soulmates and true love. However, she has learned first hand that love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. She had met someone she desperately wanted to be friends with, and that resulted in her developing feelings for the boy. Yet, despite her efforts in befriending him, she was shown time and time again that he had no interest in her. Deirdre longs to find someone who will love and accept her for who and what she is. Once she has a significant other, she is incredibly loyal, faithful, and devoted to him. |
BACKGROUND
TRIGGER WARNINGS: mental illness (PTSD) & mentions of attempted suicide
You were born an only child to Nathan and Fiona Madden, raised in Twinleaf Town of the Sinnoh Region all your life. Before you came into the world, your mother was a nurse, treating patients of all kinds. She had met your father while on vacation; a young veteran and former Pokemon Trainer who had a powerful sense of justice. A friend of Fiona's had set her up on a blind date with him, and both could immediately agree that it was love at first sight. After a full two years of being together, the two of them eventually married, not once parting from each other. However, Fiona began to notice signs of Nathan's mental illness. While he had hidden it fairly well, the man was suffering from PTSD, and symptoms of this became painfully apparent to your mother.
It started with the constant nightmares, then it escalated to him becoming more agitated with others. It eventually reached the point where he isolated himself from his wife and friends. Fiona felt helpless; what could she do to help him? It was then that his attempt to take his own life became something that the woman refused to ignore. She had caught him wandering off to the shed in the back of your home, and immediately followed him. Fiona had managed to stop him just in time before he pulled the trigger, the two of them collapsing onto the grass as she held him tightly in her arms, sobbing and apologizing multiple times.
All this time, she had blamed herself for not taking action into helping the love of her life. She saw the signs, yet did nothing but watch in hesitation. In his way, Nathan was crying out for help, wanting her to stop him. After holding each other for several hours, Fiona had finally revealed that she was pregnant with a baby girl. They were going to be parents, and that fact opened Nathan's eyes. He had made a promise to her then; he would get the help he needed to be the husband she deserved and to become a father their daughter could be proud of.
The day you were born was a happy occasion, a day filled with tears of joy and laughter. It was a cold December afternoon when you came into the world kicking and screaming. Given the name Deirdre, you grew up happily with two loving parents. As a child, you were shy and known to hide behind your father's leg if a stranger were to come too close. However, you grew out of your timidity and eventually became brave enough to make friends once you reached school age. You were "daddy's little girl", and you were proud to wear that title. There were times when Nathan's PTSD would kick in, and as you found him struggling with his nightmares, you would crawl into bed between your parents and hold his hand with a small smile. "It's okay, Papa. I'm here." Your small voice would reassure him, and somehow, it would help soothe him and it made your mother joyful and proud.
During your school days, you had difficulties making friends with others your age. There was a particular boy who would harass you relentlessly, yet that never stopped you from trying to befriend him. Something about this boy had you drawn to him, yet every time you tried to interact and get closer to him, he pushed you away. It was because of this that your insecurities began to form within you, always doubting and questioning yourself. This would last until he graduated before you did and the two of you had gone your separate ways. You still thought about the young boy now and then, a part of your heart still clinging to that old childhood crush. However, as the years started to roll by, you decided to push those feelings aside and move on. You started to believe that you would never see him again.
Around the age of 25, you felt the desire to broaden your horizons and see the world begin to fill up within you. Even though you loved living in Twinleaf, you craved more. Most of the very few friends you had departed to start anew, and you wished to do the same. You decided to become a Pokemon Trainer, inspired by your father's story of how he became one himself. Your journey would start when your father recommended moving to the region of Anrui where his older brother, Frederick, currently resided. Despite the anxiety that bubbled up in your heart, you left Twinleaf to move in with Frederick until you earned enough money to find a place of your own.
However, you never had expected to be thrown in the middle of a war between the Resistance and Team Plasma.
