Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Etain Colum

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Hometown: Celadon City

Description: Currently sporting a weight of 100 pounds and a height of five feet and two inches, Etain is rather... petit for her age. However, don't let her size fool you. Because of her lack of coordination, she was, and still is, unable to perform "specialized" tasks, and is often made to do the gritty, strength-building tasks such as lifting boxes, running across town to deliver unbreakable things, etc. She has therefore built up some impressive muscles for a girl her size. Much to her chagrin, her tiny body and multitude of muscles means that she has no curves to speak of. Moving on, we come to her head and more importantly, her face. The first thing that must be described is her hair. It's rather long and happens to be a pleasing pink-ish color, but it is usually tied in very messy, unflattering braids. The only thing that most people consider pretty about Etain is her face. Her amythest eyes are large enough to be considered pretty, but not large enough to be considered freakish. The other parts of her face are equally as even. To top it all off, she has managed to keep a fairly good complexion, despite being a teenager.

Attire: She's a fan of denim, to say the least. ^^ She can always be found wearing jeans and a denim jacket, along with comfortable running shoes.

Personality: Before anything else, one must understand that above all else, Etain means well. She's good natured, and very, very slow to anger. She tries her hardest at everything she does, and tries to keep a positive attitude, even in the face of a lifetime of failures. She generally wishes the best for any and everything, and hates to see others, especially the helpless, suffer. She tries her hardest to be sweet, friendly, and generous to others. However, her clumsiness sometimes gets her off on the wrong foot with people. She may run into someone, or spill something on someone's new shirt without meaning to. When things like that happen, she tries to make it up to the person, but her apologetic, yet clumsy nature usually makes thing worse.

As a side note, watch out if, by some freak of nature, you make her angry. As everyone knows, people who are slow to anger are merciless and almost unstoppable if you manage to rile them up. ^_~

History: All will be revealed in time... But for now, let's just give a vague, little summary of her past... She lived in Celadon until shortly after her 13th birthday. Something rather embarressing happened to her, and in response, she moved to her elder sister's ranch outside of Pallet. She started her Pokemon journey on the day after her 14th birthday.

Oreo, the Sentret. whee

Jack is in here until I get into Viridian City, y'all. 3nodding

Day One

The following message has been recorded on a tape recorder:

Captain's log number... Ah, who am I kidding? I can't imitate William Shatner to save my life! Hehe! Anyways... Hello, and welcome to my audio diary! My handwriting is so messy that even I can't read it. Therefore, this tape recorder will function as my pen, and these tapes will be my diary from now on. 'Kay? Gooooood. Now, on to the diary part of this entry.

Aaaah, Pallet Town is so beautiful! If I wasn't so set on starting my Pokemon journey, I think that I would probably stay and live here! The beautiful plants, the pretty houses, the cool Pokemon Lab, the nicely stocked stores... Oh, speaking of stores, I met a new friend at the Pokemart! She asked me to call her Neko... We're travel partners now! Cool, huh?

Oh, and before we left the Pokemart, we encountered another beginning trainer, who's name is Crystel. She decided to join us, too! Now, we're kind of like the Three Musketeers or the Three Amigoes... Well, excpet for the fact that we're all female instead of male. Ooooh, well.

A few hours later: Wow... Route 1 is a lot bigger than what I had expected. Let's hope that the Pokemon here will be able to track the Sweet Scent we have, otherwise, we may not see any Pokemon here!

Even later: Ugh... so many things have happened in the last couple of hours... Ya see, it started when we split up to find some Pokemon... Cryst seemed to have a pretty normal time, but I went stumbling into someone's camp, and Neko apparently had to be saved by a girl named Astraea... So many things have happened since that I happened that I can't remember WHY Neko had to be saved. Urgh.

Aaaaanyways... the four of us got back together, and started off again, but then yet another new trainer, named Jamie, sorta snuck up on our group. Cryst got a bit suspicious of the girl, while Neko and I welcomed her... Then things decided to go all wahooney-shaped. Cryst decided to leave, despite all kinds of pleading from the rest of us. Of course, when people are around me, then can't just leave naturally... Noooooo... We heard Cryst screaming from a nearby river a little while later. We ran to help her, but before any of us got to her, this Rattata helped her find a branch to grab onto, and she pulled herself out. Cryst, like any other red-blooded trainer, promptly caught the cute little thing. That wasn't the only capture, though. Astraea caught a Spearow at about the same time...

...Yeesh... what a weird day this has been...

[[More updates pending... This is a LONG day. xd ]]
