Name: Mikaela "Mia" LeBlanc
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Section 51: Yes
Container: Yes, just became Darkrai's container.
Appearance: Mikaela is tall for a woman, standing at about six feet tall, and looks like what one would call a "snow maiden", with long, straight, pale blonde hair reaching her hips, either worn down or fixed into a simple braid to keep it away from her face, steel-gray eyes framed with lashes often coated in dark mascara, and pale white skin. Her nose is pointed and rather prominent, her lips are pouty and her face is slightly gaunt-looking as opposed to round and full. Her body is lean and slim, with large breasts and long legs. Mikaela's ears have several piercings, and her navel is also pierced. After absorbing Darkrai's crystal, small changes have been occurring in her features. Her hair is slowly but surely changing color from blonde to white, and her gray eyes have turned into an icy aqua color.
While on duty for Section 51, Mikaela wears the standard-issue night camoflage in a lighter, less covered style: a cropped tank and sturdy shorts, as she is less accustomed to warm climate, being originally from Snowpoint City. She wears a black military-style beret, black knee-high motorcycle boots and black fingerless gloves. Around her waist is a black belt that holds her Pokeballs. Out of duty, she usually dresses in a dark, revealing style, her usual outfit being a black zip-up minidress with a skull buckle belt, pleated skirt and fishnet puff sleeves decorated with thin leather belts on each side, black leather boots decorated with studs over black socks that go over the knees and black fingerless gloves that go until just below the elbow. She wears several hoop earrings in her ear piercings, and a silver skull stud in her navel.
Personality: Mikaela is an outgoing and sociable, if rather blunt and crude young woman who enjoys the company of others, especially men. Fiery-tempered and aggressive, she can be rather easy to anger, though it's not as if her anger can actually kill people. She is also a known flirt, knowing exactly what boys like and having her own ways with them, most of them far from what a proper young woman should do, which sometimes gets her into trouble. Disliking ideals of modesty and prudishness, she enjoys being the bane of the more conservative people and enjoys it if others give her disapproving glances and head shakes because of the way she is. Despite her lack of educational accomplishments compared to most, she is street-smart, practical, and quick to understand most situations at hand, though she could sometimes be a bit reckless and does things before she thinks, being inexperienced. Also protective of her comrades, she cares deeply for them and even puts them before herself. Though she could be rather sarcastic and could be short-fused at times, with a tendency to use rough language a lot, she is overall a good person and friend once you get to know her.
As Mikaela is relatively new compared to most Section 51 soldiers, she is often seen as a bit less rigid and strict and a little more likely to be considerate towards co-workers' mistakes, though she does have her "moments" where her temper would surface and can be terrible towards those who personally annoy her. She is a person who cares more about many things than she often lets on, be it in training Pokemon, other people and learning. A determined individual, she is one who perseveres in whatever she does...or tries to do. However, Mikaela does not take criticism very well, especially when it's towards her own work. Truth be told, she has a slight inferiority complex towards others in terms of accomplishments, having dropped out twice in her Pokemon School career and thus, often seeing herself as stupid deep down, and feels as if her own criticism is enough criticism. Thus, don't be surprised if she lashes out, it's is her hidden lack of confidence that makes her do this.
History: Mikaela's childhood is one thing that she wished never happened. Born in Snowpoint City, her life was fine at first, until she turned nine, when her mother died in a car accident. Her father, who at first mourned for some time and took care of her, slowly slipped into alcoholism, which started his abusiveness. At first it was only occasionally and only when he was drunk, but as the years went on, it became worse and worse for her. She was often forced by her father to go out and buy his drinks for him, and whenever she bought the wrong drink, she was beaten up. Mikaela became both traumatized and resentful. Here was her father, the man who was supposed to be loving her and taking care of her, doing exactly the opposite. At the age of thirteen, she ran away from home, unable to bear it any longer. She was however, caught by the authorities and sent back home, where she was beaten black and blue. This however, did not break her. In fact, it was her first step to freedom.
Enrolling in Trainer's school a few months later only because it was compulsory, she met some people who eventually became instrumental in helping her escape. They were part of a youth gang, and they helped Mikaela successfully escape from home two years later, though they were forced to leave Snowpoint and settle in Hearthome. For more than a year, they went on different escapades, though they often targeted affluent Hearthome citizens. This eventually led them to suspicion and trouble with the local authorities, who knew that youth gangs frequented the big city, and they were almost sent to Juvie, if not for the cunning of their leader. Splitting their assets, he gave each of the five their share, including Mikaela, and instructed them to go their separate ways so they will never be identified. Mikaela took his instructions to heart and moved away from Hearthome, using her share of money to rent a small living space for herself in Veilstone City, as well as apply for a Trainer's license. Now sixteen years old, she thought herself to be a good enough age to be a trainer and before receiving her license, managed to catch her first Pokemon, a Houndour, with the help of a few friends in Veilstone.
Completing her set of Sinnoh badges in about one and a half years, she opted not to tackle the League first, deciding that she would give it a go after earning three complete badge sets. She then set out for Unova soon after, earning her second set of badges in another one and a half years, as she tried to complete and fill up her team alongside her goal. Ever since she first had Houndour, Dark-types became her favorite and her team consisted of such, which proved to give her several difficulties at first. Mikaela was patient in training however, and her team grew stronger, possibly even able to handle a Fighting-type team, though she still loses on occassion. After earning her last Unova badge, Mikaela started thinking about where to go next. Before she could make any further moves though, she was unwittingly caught up and involved in an attack in Castelia City, where she was later on suspected to be part of Team Eclipse, though in reality, she hadn't done anything except be there.
Mikaela was no longer safe. Now mistaken for a criminal and possibly a fugutive, she felt that she had no choice but to turn to the other side, joining Section 51. As one of the newest recruits, Mikaela at first was intimidated by those who trained her. Schedules, all sorts of training, all of them were new to her and she at first, did not like it and questioned her decision. After a few months passed however, she persevered and thus, grew more accustomed to life in the military. Her already-good aim became deadly, she gained more endurance and learned to do many more things. In the span of eight months, she was trusted by many and was given her first promotion, allowing her to go on field missions to find the crystals.
Though she had rotten luck going on what seemed to be a wild-goose chase in Sinnoh, she somehow stumbled upon Darkrai's crystal. When she touched it, it somehow vanished. Mikaela did not know it at first, but the crystal definitely changed her in more ways than one, and she only realized it when she looked at the mirror and saw her eyes change color.
Powers: Mikaela is capable of hypnotizing others to sleep just by staring at them intently, while looking into her eyes for a short period of time would make one drowsy. While she still remains mostly human, this hypnosis tires her out, but as she becomes Darkrai, she would be able to use it more frequently. She is also capable of levitating and cloaking herself with shadows, rendering her invisible so long as it is dark. Mikaela is also capable of manipulating shadows and darkness to harm and attack her foes.
Pokémon:
Name: Noctis
Species: Houndoom
Appearance: Noctis is a slightly smaller than average Houndoom, being about four inches shorter than most Houndoom. While most Houndoom have red irises, Noctis' are a deep midnight blue, which is where she got her name from.
Personality/History: Noctis is Mikaela's first Pokemon, who was caught near Valor Lakefront before she began her journey. She is a tomboy who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty, and could even be violent. She doesn't mind battling and does so with a combination of Special moves and Physical moves, never supporting. She is extremely sadistic, enjoying it when her opponents suffer, whether it be from her attacks or from burns, especially her burns, which is why her signature move is Inferno.
Name: Nyx
Species: Zoroark
Appearance: Compared to most Zoroark, Nyx has a slightly tamer-looking mane, with the end of her ponytail having a slight curl to it.
Personality/History: Nyx was one of the Pokemon Mikaela caught in Unova and remained on her team ever since. While she is a good battler, she is also rather vain, caring about her looks as much as she cares about battling. One can often see her grooming herself whenever she is out of her Pokeball and not fighting. Don't underestimate her though, as she is a powerful fighter in her own right.
Name: Amon
Species: Hydreigon
Appearance: Amon is a Hydreigon whose body is a slightly deeper shade of blue compared to most.
Personality/History: Inarguably Mikaela's strongest Pokemon, she first caught Amon as a Deino training in Victory Road in preparation for earning her next set of Badges. He is also the most recent evolution, having only evolved a mere six days before Mikaela stumbled upon Darkrai's crystal. Amon, as expected from a Hydreigon, is the most aggressive member of her team in battle, though out of battle, he seems less likely to blow up, being a bit of a loner compared to her other two Pokemon.
