Personality: Rajika's passionate to a fault– she'd sooner not do something than do it by half. She's defined by extremes, her mood varying between enthusiastic happiness to scorching anger with very little grey area. Although her mood is easily variable, she bounces back from anger or upset just as fast as she was effected by it; She's never upset for long. Most of the time she's cheerful, with optimism that spreads like a particularly fast-catching wildfire. She's impulsive and does things on a whim, often changing her opinions or goals based on minimal input. However, she has a few deep set ideals that remain constant and these are what define her – a strong sense of justice and a desire to unite people.
She's terrible at reading people and misunderstands people often, having difficulty especially in regards to sarcasm and humour. Not to say that she doesn't have a sense of humour, it's just that Rajika's doesn't match up very well with others. She's described by others as naïve and overly trusting a lot, which bothers her to some degree. She's not classically very smart and is unable to read or write very well. She is however a very talented Pokémon trainer, and despite her troubles interacting with people, she tends to reach some kind of mutual understanding with those around her due to her infectious enthusiasm and earnest kindness, towards Pokémon and people alike.
Appearance:
Rajika is a short girl with a slightly bulky build. Her skin is of a light brown shade, and her hair is jet black. It's most often tucked into her jacket, but when completely loose, it reaches to the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her bangs fall into her face a lot, and she's always brushing them out of her eyes. Her face is very rounded and soft, yet is often contorted into exaggerated expressions, making them feel more bizarre .
She dresses almost exclusively in the colour red, feeling great pride in wearing her nation's signature colour. Her favourite piece of clothing is a hooded cloak with stars on it and she wears whenever she can. Apart from that, her dress sense is more average and she wears traditional red silken shirts and skirts.
History: Rajika's grandmother and grandfather had moved from a faraway region a long, long time ago. Although they were not widely accepted in Ignis, they stayed and had a son together. That son married a woman from Ignis and they made Rajika. By this time, despite being obviously foreign, the Thakur family was mostly integrated in the local community, due to them proving themselves trustworthy and skilled tailors and due to improving race relations in Ignis.
Her early life was pretty average, with Rajika helping her family run their tailoring shop. She didn't have much in way of an education, her mother being the only teacher she had. She often got into friendly rough-housing with children from neighbouring families. After she met Idri, she began battling with Pokémon instead, eventually getting a reputation for being the strongest Pokémon trainer in her village. She left home at 15 and travelled the region with Idri, eventually culminating with her joining a Pokémon battle contest, (of which there are many in Ignis) which she and Idri won. They became well known because for their passion, sense of justice, and battling prowess, so when a new representative of Ignis was needed, Rajika was chosen.
Pokémon:
Species: Growlithe
Nickname: Idri
Gender: Female
History: Idri's mother hadn't been able to look after her in wild, and left her in Rajika's village so that she would be able to be cared for by humans. Idri tried to stay hidden from humans and other pokemon for as long as she could, stealing scraps when no one was around. When she saw Rajika, she instantly was drawn to the girl, and they became best friends and then companions.
Special Appearance: A bronze collar with her name on is tied around her neck.
Personality: Very loyal, Idri would do anything for her trainer. She is much more calm than her trainer and sometimes needs to be the voice of reason. She is almost motherly in the affection she shows towards Rajika, doing her best to take care of her. In battle, she's very straight-forward and favors an all or nothing method of attacking.
Moves:
