Name: Caroline “Carrie” McBrillon
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Job: Breeder
Specialty: Fire-type breeding, with a touch of dark and/or fighting.
Description: Carrie stands at a relatively average height for a woman, around five foot five. She has long, curly dark hair that cascades down to her mid-back. She usually keeps it pinned back in a pair of french braided pig-tails. She usually wears a variety of dark colors. She dislikes the Rocket Uniform, so she doesn’t wear it, however she likes to wear dark colors to blend in with the others and their uniforms. She’s usually in a dark navy blue or purple. She very rarely wears any colors, but when she does, it has a tendency to bring out that rosy tone of her normally pale skin. Carrie almost always wears dark jeans, and over top of those she has the same pair of dark boots. They hold her knife, and make a trademark clacking noise when she walks.
Carrie usually has a few whispy bangs that hang down over her eyes. Her eyes are a vivid icy green, and they tend to stand out a little bit due to her thick, dark lashes. Along the bridge of her nose and her cheeks are a few very faint freckles remaining from her childhood. Overall her face is a natural sort of pale, not the pale induced by make-up. Carrie barely wears any make-up, occasionally indulging in a little bit of eyeliner or eye shadow when she wants to feel pretty. Her eyebrows are a little bit too bushy, and she has been known to get comments about how they look like caterpillars, but she simply doesn’t care.
Personality: Carrie is a sweet, overly compassionate girl. She enjoys what she does, and she enjoys helping out people by selling them Pokemon for a relatively low price. Carrie believes that you can find joy in whatever you do, and that you can always make it better. Her seering optimism and accepting nature often chase people away. No one wants to spend much time with the “Positive Polly”. Carrie pretends on the surface that she doesn’t mind, but she does crave friendship, especially since her former partner Andrew rejected her. She misses him greatly and shies away from anything that reminds her of him... especially the song Sweet Caroline. It was “their song”. Due to the heavy burden and loss she carries on her chest, Carrie has become a little bit obsessive compulsive. She performs several rituals every morning, such as putting on exactly five strokes of mascara on each eye, and chanting little inspirational quotes to herself.
Carrie has developed a bit of an inferiority complex since her stint with the government. She is very sensitive about her obessive compulsive traits, and especially the nervous ticks she has developed since Andrew. She bites her nails down to tiny nubs, and hides them behind her back so no one can see them. She is often seen grabbing at the edges of her shirt or twiddling her fingers, but she always hides these from people as soon as she notices that they’re watching. She has an extreme fear of people judging her because of her past, and often gets very upset whenever anyone mentions it.
Carrie hides her insecurities fairly well, in her opinion. She spends most of her time smiling and acting like everything in Carrie land is all wonderful and great. She often delves into her work whenever she’s upset (which is most of the time) so she has a wonderful work ethic and pace. She hides under her work, preferring to be known as cheerful Carrie the breeder than “that moody chick that used to work for the government”. One thing that she did bring with her from her position is her extremely good sense of observation. The investigative position she held absolutely drilled observation skills into her. Due to this she is a fairly good people reader and can often tell when she’s being lied to.
History: Carrie grew up in the Sinnoh region with her mother and father and younger sister. It was a generally peaceful, typical childhood. She had a pet Torchic, was forced to take piano lessons, do dance, the whole nine yards. Her mother was a flute professor at the local college, and so Carrie was forced into flute lessons, but she never fell in love with flute the way her mother had. Music was a little bit dull and boring to Carrie. She had a different passion: Pokemon. She was fascinated by things like moves and fur colors, and all sorts of things. Carrie took human biology and tried to apply it to Pokemon. After a series of AP Biology classes in high school, and a stint in college as a biology major, Carrie followed the advice of her government loving mother. She applied for an investigative position with the government.
As a young “investigative agent” she was paired with a great team and a great partner, who just so happened to be into her. They gave her a gun and a fancy badge. But then Carrie went out on her first investigation, where she was told to put down a Houndoom. She’d been unable to do it. She released the Houndoom to the wild and afterwards wrote a faked report saying that she’d killed it. But after she got over the initial horror of putting down a Pokemon, an idea started to blossom. What if she could save these Pokemon? Since she was the junior field agent, she was made to do all of the “dirty work” and no one was there to watch her. She started smuggling the doomed Pokemon out, at first releasing them to the wild, then keeping them, and eventually beginning to use them to breed new Pokemon. Carrie was absolutely fascinated by them.
In the end, she ended up falling hard for her strictly by-the-book partner Andrew. It wasn’t uncommon for members of the teams to fall for, and even marry their partners or colleagues, but for Carrie and Andrew it was unusual. She fell for him, despite her intense fear that he’d find out what she’d been doing with all the Pokemon. And he did. Instead of arresting her, knowing that she would be locked away in jail forever, with no money due to the very recent death of her mother, he let her go on one condition: that she leave the region and never come back. He never wanted to see her again.
With a broken heart and a shiny government badge, Carrie took off and escaped to Kanto, where she currently raises and breeds Pokemon for Team Rocket. They were a bit hesitant to accept her, but seeing that she had overall knowledge of how the government worked (and a government issued badge and gun) they allowed her to join.
Equipment: Carrie carries a knife in her boot. She can slide it out easily and stealthily. She also carries a generic government-issue handgun... she doesn’t know the type, however she’s a decent shot. She prefers to use her knife.
Pet: Ember the Chimchar
Other: She detests the song Sweet Caroline.
Pokémon:
Name: Ember
Gender: Female
Age: 5
Species: Chimchar
League: 0
Description: Ember is a tiny creature, standing at only one foot three inches tall. She was bred for agility and speed, hence her tiny size. She has silky orange fur that is a bit longer than a normal Chimchar’s. Her face is a light yellow that’s almost white, with red rings around her big green eyes. She has a small burning flame on her tail end that goes up to about her mid-back.
Personality: Ember is a happy little soul. She acts like a little kid, often hanging off of Carrie’s shoulder and chattering incessantly into Carrie’s ear, despite the fact that Carrie can’t understand a word she’s saying. She has a burning, intense curiosity, which is always causing her to wander off and find trouble. Whenever Ember does encounter trouble, she usually starts to tear up and cry. She’s a very sensitive little monkey.
History: Carrie traded a young Torchic for Ember around a month ago. Ember is Carrie’s newest Pokemon, so not much has happened since she joined Carrie and her team. Ember is currently in training for the races and for battles, where she’ll hopefully be able to evade anything thrown at her.
Other: Ember treats Sophia as her older sister, so she’s often seen following the Blaziken around and chattering about her “Mommy Carrie”.
Name: Galway
Gender: Male
Age: 50
Species: Chatot
League: 1
Description: Galway is a tiny parrot-like Pokemon. He has a dark black head shaped like an eighth note. On this head are his squinty little eyes and his beak, always set in a sort of frown of disapproval. HIs feathers are faded and old, the blues, greens, and yellows just not as bright as they used to be. The ring of white feathers around his neck are dirty and worn. They flop down farther than a usual Chatot’s do. His little metronome tail is always flopped and down. It never keeps the beat like it used to.
Personality: Galway is an angry, unhappy Pokemon. He still mourns the loss of his “mother”, who was Carrie’s mother too. He views Carrie as a pesty little sister and won’t follow her orders in battle, or really ever. He is both loud and proud, always singing and shrieking at inappropriate times just to spite Carrie. Underneath all of his vibrato though, he is just a lost, bitter little Pokemon who lost his mother and trainer.
History: Galway was Carrie’s mother, Lucy’s pet. He lived with her from when she was about twenty-five until the day she died. Lucy left Galway to Carrie, knowing that Carrie would always take care of her misguided pet.
Other: His favorite song to sing is, ironically, Sweet Caroline. He “speaks” English, but only in song form. He also doesn’t battle. He’s too disobedient for that.
Name: Sophia
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Species: Blaziken
League: 3
Description: Sophie stands at about 6’5”, which is a bit taller than your average Blaziken. She has a very muscular build, since she was bred for strength. She is covered in dark red, almost maroon feathers that cover most of her body. Her feet are covered in mustard yellow feathers. Beneath her fluffy feathers are sharp claws, which she also has on her scaly, scarred arms. Her big blue eyes are a bit cloudy from injuries occuring in battle.
Personality: Sophia is fiercly loyal to Carrie. She never disobeys an order in battle, since she believes that Carrie is always right. She follows Carrie around and believes that she can do no wrong. Sohphia would do absolutely anything for her trainer if she believed it was in Carrie’s best interest. She has a fiery temper, which she uses to her advantage in battle. If anyone bad-mouths Carrie (especially if its Galway), she’ll spit a good flamethrower at them.
History: Carrie obtained Sophia as a small girl. As a Torchic, Sophia was Carrie’s pet. She often brought Sophie along to crime scenes, to show her different things that she’d learned about biology and crimes. After fleeing to Kanto, Carrie started battling Sophia, allowing her to evolve first to a Combusken, and then to a Blaziken.
Other: Sophia is Carrie’s main battling and breeding Pokemon. She has produced many good Torchics, bred for both strength and speed.
Name: Yankee
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Species: Shiny Rapidash
League: 2
Description: Yankee is simply a very large horse. He stands at about five foot seven, roughly the same height as Carrie. He has a soft yellow body, so light that it’s almost white in coloration. He has two large ears a-top of his head, along with a long, ponty horn. His entire body is covered in streaming silver flames, most of them working to form his mane and his tail. There are also some flames down by his dark black hooves. He is often seen in a flame-retardant gray saddle, since Carrie enjoys riding Yankee around the race track when no one’s around to see her.
Personality: Yankee is a flighty sort of Pokemon. He loves to run, and can’t stay in one place for a very log time. He has been known to crack under pressure, more often than not because he is afraid and insecure. He has trouble battling and he got to League two simply by luck. Yankee has trouble doing a lot of things, due to his insecurity. He lives to please Carrie and often tries to beat out her other Pokemon for attention. This often fails though, since Yankee’s “plans” are always quickly laid and poorly planned. Yankee just doesn’t have the patience for simple planning. He prefers to just go. He is after all, a race horse.
History: Yankee was the first Pokemon that Carrie obtained in Kanto. She found him as a young Ponyta in the wild, and chose to catch him using a forbidden Pokeball. However, Carrie was a bit insecure about training, which led to several insecurities in Yankee’s technique. She put him in the ring, but soon after discovered that his true talent lay in racing. She trained him up so that he would evolve and be faster.
Other: Yankee is fast... like really fast. Rapidash run at over a hundred miles per hour.
