Mika

Age:
Roughly fifteen years old.

Gender:
Female

Trainer Class:
Pokemon Trainer

Personality:
Despite her history, Mika is a very happy go lucky girl. She’s very sweet and cheerful, and can be rather naïve about most things of the romantic nature. She is also remarkably gullible; if its convincing enough, she can believe almost anything.

She is a pacifist, meaning that she doesn’t enjoy fighting, and typically avoids it whenever possible. She also doesn’t believe in killing, due to the blood that is already on her hands. She doesn’t really have an anger problem; she usually keeps it under a tight leash. Mika almost always has a smile on, and will hide her own past to keep up her image of being blissfully ignorant of the harsher side of life.

She’s very motherly, and can have issues with realizing where the boundaries are between motherly and overbearing. She tends to pick through other people’s things in an attempt to find out more about them; she’s rather book-smart (but not street-smart) and she can learn a fair bit about people just from watching them.

Mika doesn’t remember much about her past; her earliest memory is that of an unknown Rocket member telling her that she had no name, only a number. This will occasionally cause her to become more melancholy and withdrawn than normal. Usually, however, this will break in a couple of days.

She is quite the talker, though she is hesitant about talking to humans due to the fact she’s terrified that they will find out about her being part pokemon and shun her, one of her greatest fears. Mika doesn’t do well when she is by herself; she thrives on contact with other people and pokemon and suffers when she doesn’t have that.

Mika is very much the type of girl who likes to have her feet flat on the ground; heights make her nervous. She isn’t even very fond of being picked up, though she can tolerate it if she truly knows the person. One of her secrets is that she loves to have her ears rubbed; she melts whenever it happens.

Mika really isn’t too fond of romance; she’s too naïve to realize when someone’s flirting with her and she’s too awkward around most humans to flirt back even if, on the off chance, she realizes it. However, she has crushed on a fair number of people, even if they never went anywhere. She is very much of the “Love is love” mentality, and so she doesn’t pay much attention to looks, she prefers the personality.

She is surprisingly fragile emotionally; even a thoughtless word or phrase can wound her emotionally permanently. She is also hemophobic, meaning she is afraid of blood (her’s or someone else’s; it doesn’t matter) and has fainted from the sight of it before. It was this fear that made her deemed unfit to participate in the plans. As a result of years of having needles forced into her skin, she also has Enetophobia, or fear of needles. She also has a weak constitution; it doesn’t take much for her to get sick and whenever she does get sick, she gets it bad.

Appearance:
Mika is the average height for a fifteen year old girl, meaning she’s right about 5’3. She has only just hit puberty, so she has only the smallest hint of an hourglass figure and the barest beginnings of breasts. She has thick blonde hair that falls to just past her hips, though it blends in with her tail, which is the exact same shade, so it can be a little difficult to see where one ends and the other begins. As a result, she usually lets people think she has insanely long fur. Mika has slightly almond-shaped amber-colored eyes that are framed by surprisingly thick black lashes.

She has ribbons the same shade as her eyes in her hair, right below her triangular shaped ears. There are also ribbons on the front of her shrug, the front of her boots and tied to the top of her knee-high black socks. There is a very long ribbon tied in loose loops around her tail, ending in a messily tied ribbon. She wears a tiger-orange dress that ends two inches above her knees. The dress has a few black streaks on it in random places. The dress is long-sleeved and it has thick cream-colored fur at the end of the sleeves. The dress is spaghetti-strapped, though you can’t tell due to the cream-colored shrug she almost always wears over it. The long sleeves are attached to the shrug, and are removable.

Her boots are the same cream-colored fur as the shrug and sleeves, which coincidentally, all match the shade of her hair almost exactly. Underneath the furry boots, she has almost gauzy black socks that reach her knees, trimmed in white lace. Whenever she gets hot, she will take off the shrug and the boots, leaving the socks. However, due to her Growlithe nature, she is remarkably tolerant to heat and so is quite happy sitting in one hundred degree weather smothered in fur.

One odd quirk about her is that she is insanely fast. Like “vanish from your sight” in the blink of an eye type of fast. It could be compared to Extremespeed, a move which Arcanine and not Growlithe can learn, though it is not quite that fast. Due to her heightened speed, she had to sacrifice strength. While she is still quite a bit stronger than any full-grown human, she is notably weaker than any of the Pokemorph.

She is physically fit, due to the harsh training regiment she was put through for many years. Due to her Growlithe-half’s fire nature, her body temperature is several degrees hotter than normal, typically hovering in the 103-105 degree range. She doesn’t know how to use fire attacks, though she does have a slight resistance to fire or burns. She also has a very alert sense of smell, higher than any number of humans or pokemon, and keen hearing.

The main reason why she keeps so much of her skin covered is that she has inky stripes painting it at her wrists, ankles, at her hips, and around her neck. Whenever she goes into public, she wears a hat that is the same orange with black stripes as her dress to cover her ears. She likes to have her ears rubbed as it relaxes her.

A news clip from Date 1248:
“This is Sharon Osbourne, with Channel Seven news. I’m currently at the site of a building believed to belong to the organization Team Rocket. As you can see, the building is still smoking as firefighters hurry to put out the flames and assess the damage. As last count, there are fifty people injured, with another fifteen laying dead. It’s unclear as to what happened, but rumors state of a small blonde girl in orange running into the woods, some say as fast as an Arcanine runs.

The police are trying to locate this girl, to no avail. Back to you, Todd.”
