Emily Rose Kaldwin
Red, Rose, Miss Kaldwin, little ice cream girl. | 14 | Female / Heterosexual |
drifter | Breeder | Bandit |
Appearance
Emily stands at a height of four fee ten inches tall or slightly taller if wearing heels. She weighs about 90lbs tops and holds a fairly slender frame. She has waist long tri coloured hair, a combination of pink, white and brown spread throughout her hair like Neopolitan ice cream. She has snow pale skin and the condition heterchromia which makes her eyes two different colours, in this case one brown, and one pink. That said the girl is rather good at disguises and carries around contact lenses of varying colours for her use if she needs to go unnoticed, or if she just feels like wearing them. There is a scar hidden beneath the left sleeve of her shirt near her elbow which she received from a training session with some members of her community as a child.
When it comes to clothing Emily tends to favour red and black mixtures with bits of white throwin in, or other colours. Regardless of what she wears it is almost entirely certain that the long red cloak she owns will be a part of her wardrobe; even if it's existence with other clothes she had chosen makes no sense at all. She has a tendency when going on missions and the like, to dress in skin tight black and gray almost armoured clothes complete with a mas which covers the bottom part of hers face, only allowing for the sight of her eyes and hair.
Personality
Emily Kaldwin is an oddly innocent seeming young girl in the forefront of herself: She sees the good in the world and those in it, or at least she tries to. Of course she knows not everyone is good, not everyone has good intentions and the world's not all roses and gumdrop forests. She wants to believe it is, wants to believe there is more good then bad in the world around her and that perhaps she can influence it to make that a reality.
Although Emily has no trouble interacting with any friends she might have, she does have trouble actually making them, and is quick to admit that weapons or even Pokemon are easier to get along with; like, she's better and more comfortable talking to inanimate objects or animals then people. She grew up around weapons and Pokemon, sometimes involving harsh experiences surrounding them. Her experience with those her own age is severely lacking as most around her were older by either only a small amount of years, or decades. She's used to those around her being unpleasant and mean, tough and hard and so overall meeting trustable people is going to prove to be difficult.
When it comes to combat or dangerous situations, Emily has the capability to remain rather stoic and in control of herself when needed. That said she isn't always the best at ensuring her own composure as, when in a stressful enough situation she can tend to lose herself and forget whatever strategy she might have in mind. More or less however Emily is one who does tend to strategize for battles and missions. Tending to be the kind to stick in the background of most places, Emily knows how to go unnoticed, how not to be seen or rather to be one of those people so standard they're easily forgettable. This was something her mother pushed upon her, demanding that she know how to be average even if in her own community she was basically royalty; so far as bandit leaders and such go anyway. Emily is quite agile and does like to stick around the outside of crowded places wen she can, not being hte biggest fan of potentially being spotted by someone she might know that she may be trying to avoid.
She absolutely loves the colours black and red though beyond her natural hair colours being such, the reasoning is unclear. She likes cloaks too, they make her feel cool and impressive; like she can and does amount to something more then she might at the time. Emily's love of Pokemon is one she had held for as long as she can remember, and probably even longer then that. The girl wants to see Pokemon thrive, to see them grow and exist and what they are capable of in their own lives.
Emily is something of a gamer nerd girl, at least to the most of an ability that her upbringing would allow for: Yet an oddly spread ability that was. She likes RPG games such as Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed types; some of which were used as training lessons as she grew up. She loves high places and tends to be found hanging around in high locations just for the fun of it, or for vantage points in areas she's yet to ever have been.
When it comes to fears there are few the girl has that she's willing to admit to, though at least one is Pokemon related. Emily does not like spider Pokemon or Bee Pokemon such as Beedrill and Spinnerack. She hates them and they freak her out: Stupid fear in her own mind and she is embarrassed to admit to it. Rose suffers from a twinge of claustrophobia or fear of enclosed spaces; though only to the point of uncomfortableness in them. She's ok with caves unless they are really thin walk in a single file line kinds, she's fine with small houses and such but when it comes to dark rooms like closets or as mentioned thin caves well.. she would not be alright with that at all.
Though a soft hearted young woman, she is capable of being a hardcore fighter if she neeeds to be, knowing how to steal from others, manipulate them and get what she wants in the process; though these are things she would rather avoid doing or being.
History
Emily Rose Kaldwin was born in the Orre Region to a fairly hard woman, and a father who didn't entirely know what he was getting himself into. Rose's mother was something of a leader to a group of thieves, bandits and overall not the greatest of people and her father? Well the man had met her mother and caller in love only to realize later that he had gotten involved with the kind of woman he hadn't realized her to be. By the time he'd realized this the woman had gotten pregnant with their daughter. She had kept many secrets from the man, had even taken to caring for him and separated herself from an already existing child at least for the time being. A fight between the woman and her lover in regards to these secrets lead to the woman fleeing, taking her then unborn child with her as she left the Kanto Region for her native of Ore where the child would then be born.
Robin Kaldwin had never told her lover of where she had been raised, of the bandits that had taken raised her as well and, when he had found out hte truth, that she hadn't been who she said she was for the entire two year long relationship the man had been livid! He'd yelled at her, told her she was not worthy of being a mother if she couldn't be truthful to him and though she hadnt revealed the truth of the bandits it had come to be learned by the man that there had been big secrets, that people were angry at her and so on. Insulted by this implication to her motherhood Robin left without a word that very night, returning ot her home in the Ore Region and fully aware that her lover, and the father of her unborn child wouldnt' even know where to begin to search for his child, or for herself.
When Emily was born, she became the second daughter and youngest to Robin who upon her own return had taken control of their community of bandits; leaving the little girl to grow up around some pretty unpleasant people. Robin had been the leader to begin with, had had her first child and left for a while; only to fall in love with Emily's father and for the time remain in Kanto, her command temperarly taken by a close friend, as well as responsibility for her eldest daughter.
As the youngest of two sisters, Rose was often babied at least by her older sister: The older girl didnt want to one day lead the bandit tribe though she was taught to one day do just that. As a result of knowing this and something of a backup plan, Robin began to train her younger daughter to become leader one day. Rose grew up around horrid people, people willing to do whatever it took to get what htey want, hurt, maim or even murder if it served their goals and yet she didn't seem to become that kind of person. There were rules of course, rules set by her mother that kept her and her sister at least somewhat safe from the other members who may have found them weak. They were not allowed to attack nor injure the children outside of combat practice, were not allowed to challange their mother's rulings -not that anyone would have done that, they were all to scared of the woman to even try.- For the girls, they were taught to fight early on, taught to swindle and manipulate which the older of the two took too fairly quickly; Rose not so much. Yes, she had learned to do those things but they never felt like something she wanted to do.... it wasn't in her personality to do so. Her mother would once or twice comment when she wasn't supposed to be around, just how much of Rose's father she saw in the child, how kind the girl was and caring and nieve: She would never tell Rose about her father, where he was and the like and he didn't know where to find them either way.
Though Emily would hear that she was like her father through secret musings of her mother's she would also hear how much like her mother she was from the clan members. They would tell her she was impulsive like her mother had once been yet strategic just as she was now, that she was strong and had one of those personalities that lead others to follow in her stead: That she would make a good leader if she ever had to.
Emily's older sister Blaze, with a two year age gap decided to head off on a Pokemon journey of her own, being given permission from her mother provided she consider her eventual linkage and responsibilities as she ventured: She did of course and in the end decided, after several years that she liked just traveling for now. As a gift for Rose's eleventh birthday, and having not gone off on her own journey at the time as her mother refused to let her go -and what Robin said was law,- the child was given a gift in the form of a Lilipup, a fairly oddly coloured one at that. IT was love at first sight for the kid as hse took i the male puppy Pokemon and, while she and the dog trained in fights against other members of hte clan neither left hte confines of their occasionally moving homestead.
Education was nothing special for the youngest member of hte clan or her sister, they were taught to read and write and all that junk though by members of the tribe instead of any kind of actually qualified teacher: Their mother taking the effort to get the smartest members of the clan as their tutors; children in the clan were rare and none had been born beyond Rose herself afterwords. When it came to the more.... sub-standard practices such as pickpocketing and how to properly swindle people or fight, Robin took it upon herself en make sure her children learned as best she could teach them, that they became the best they could.
Growing up like that though? It wasn't what Rose wanted... she didn't want to steal from people, to raid people's homes and be a bandit in Ore... she wanted to travel the world and sees what it was like. That in mind she decided to take something of inniciative and so, using hte skills she had honed over her life the child began to snag up some money and tucked it away where no one would look: For three years she saved up, plotted and planned on where to go and how to get there, choosing a Region Far off from Orre and her family/tribe. Eventually, shortly after her fourteenth birthday she snuck off in the dead of night with her little Lilipup and a Pikachu that the clan had trained it's entire life to fight. This mouse was meant to be given to Robin as a tribute but her daughter? Her daughter had other plans for it and stole the Pokeball. Boarding a boat that would take her far away from Orre and the bandit tribe she knew as her family.!

RP Sample
Emily Rose Kaldwin Stared ahead at the snowy terrain before her, bright silver eyes gleaming with interest as a pale hand reached up, partially numb fingers shifting and adjusting the shoulder of the bright red cloak she wore. This was a new Region... A new place that was hers for the taking. Her mother had always told her, take what you want in the world because people aren't going to give it to you. The world didn't care what you wanted, didn't care who you are or how hard you might have worked to get whatever it was; nor did it care if you deserved what you wanted: The world was cruel and hard and you needed to learn to work it. Her mother was wrong, the world wasnt' cruel as she said it was, at least for hte limited experience Rose had had outside of the Orre Region it wasn't. Maybe it's just Orre? Maybe Orre is the problem, maybe it breaks you and bends you till there's nothing but hate and animosity? It was a fair thought if she were honest, her mother was a cold seeming woman by most accounts but her sister wasn't... She and her big sister weren't like that and they'd grown up in Orre. Maybe it's how you let Orre mood you.... what you let happen? the dark haired girl thought to herself.
The thought in mind the girl took a few steps forward toward the nearest city-line, she could see it there in front of her and she needed to get there soon: She was cold, not dressed for the weather beyond the cloak, the rest of her outfit consisting of a skirt and a T-Shirt: She needed new clothes too.
She supposed she deserved this, deserved to freeze just a little bit for her audacity to run away from her community, to flee from the tribe to try and live her own life: Her mother would tell her that, would tell her that she wouldn't have to experience this if she'd just done as she'd been ordered and stared at home! Or maybe she'd tell that she had done well, that this would build her character.... who really knew.
