Nicknames: Minnah, Indie, bishie (Only to 1rkhachatryan).

Trainer Info:
Became an official Pokemon trainer on 12/25/2001. Originally chose Cyndaquil, but because I initially didn't know how to save (total noob), I chose Totodile as my partner on my next file, and he's been my #1 partner ever since. I've continued my trainer career since that "mistake" Christmas present (originally asked for a Tamagotchi Pikachu edition toy, or whatever they're called).

I recently got into competitive battling, and have since been building teams for that purpose. A couple are thematic, while the others are randomly built teams to test and enjoy. They're all based on Mons I really like (except my Least Favorites team, of course).
I also play Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Smash Bros. and other fighting games, Kirby, and a couple games off the 3DS eShop. I'll be glad to play first-person shooters, though I admit I'm a noob at them.

I'm that one trainer on X and Y who tries to keep things fair to everyone. I make trades fair and despise people with complicated trades (damn you, capitalism...). I give shout outs to those from my home state, foreign states with my childhood marked all over it, or who have birthdays when they're playing. I send a "Nice!" to those who have finally caught their first shinies or shout out their most noteworthy accomplishments. Even when it's an outdated shout out, I'll be there to send you that elusive Hatching Power and don't care one bit about wasting its energy if I'm hatching eggs simultaneously. While I wish I could get what I'm looking for in return for my good deeds, I'd prefer seeing you guys have an easy time getting what you want, no hassles guaranteed.

Appearance/Demeanor:
Brown hair with matching brown eyes. White-caramel Latina >.> Quite tall for your average chick, 5'7"-5'8". I'm normally a gentle giant, but I despise being confronted for my height. As always, "It's not that I'm really tall, you're just really short." My hair is the root of every woman's jealousies, all the ones I know. Not my fault my hair happens to be a thicker reincarnation of Farrah Fawcett's hair...

As a lady, I take fashion seriously. "I don't dress to impress, I simply wake up with fashion-forward fabulousness." I'm usually very friendly and approachable, though I suggest you stay on my good side unless you wanna be sassed or butted out. I treat others with utmost care, I defend them the way I would defend myself. Once/If you manage to get past my honey-badger-don't-care attitude, you'll find someone to come to when needed. Though as a heads up, I'll let you know that I'm not shy or narrow-minded whatsoever, so come talk to me about anything you'd like; I'm a great listener.

Random fact about me:
-Lately, I've had this strange obsession with all kinds of soups. Maybe it's just the College Syndrome working its magic on me, but it doesn't mean I buy countless instant noodles with which to indulge myself. By soups, I mean all the lovely cheap soups at my campus, Pho noodle soups, and Panera soups. If it includes chicken, it really does work wonders for the soul.
-Studying Linguistics in college has made me a fan of foreign music all over. I'll even try to do what I can to dissect bits and pieces of a song for the fun of it. My favorites are:

-Stromae - Tous Les Memes
-Andrea Bocelli - Con Te Partiro
-Gianni Morandi - In Ginocchio da te
-Amr Diab - El Leila
-Stromae - Alors On Danse
-Nassif Zeytoun - Ya Tayr El Ghouroub
-Sara'h - Hello (French Adele cover)


Fine...you asked for it. My top friends list (with a very descriptive title for each...):

1. 1rkhachatryan - My Bishie (And One Friend Who Manages To Both Love And Annoy Me Simultaneously) (Only I get to call him Bishie...)

For everyone else, you know you're getting there if:
1. I start calling you by my most used terms of endearment very often (m'dear, love, or kiddo <---(reserved to those 1 year younger than me or more])
2. I freely start speaking nonsense words to you.
3. I start giving you advice like a mom...or something.

3. Crits in a Nuzlocke
4. EV Training...
5. Oshawott m8? (Not even Joe knew where Nintendo of America pulled that name from, and to this day he still probably doesn't know...way to go, Nintendo of America.)

Did you actually read all the way down to this point? Did my list really not bore you? Then maybe you have something to say...

Drawing, video games, writing, derping on the Internet, listening to all the music in the world
