Name: Michelle Ashley Derikson.
Age: 11.
Hometown: Fidona.

Appearance: Michelle has shoulder length black hair that is naturally straight. She also has beautiful ocean blue eyes. Her skin is lightly tanned. Michelle is normally seen wearing dresses or nice blouses with skirts. She'll also be seen wearing a light sweater, jacket, or sweatshirt to stay warm. Despite the climate of the location she'll be in, she gets cold rather easily. She also wears leggings regardless of whether she's wearing a dress or skirt.

Personality: Michelle is a kind hearted young girl. She doesn't care about the flaws in other people, but instead, she looks past them. When she meets people for the first time, Michelle tends to be shy and not talk much. Once you get to know her, she can be pretty talkative. Michelle is friendly as well, being friends with most of the people that she meets. She also cares deeply about her friends, family, and Pokemon. She also can't stand abuse, whether it be to Pokemon or humans.

Biography: Michelle was born to Ciara and Mason Derikson, neither of whom are part of the Amazonians, on January 17th, just minutes before her twin sister, Mikaela. Michelle and Mikaela did pretty much everything together, including supporting their mother through her divorce with Mason, who had been continually abusing them, and her marriage to a man named Rich Parker, who had been supporting them.

During the early years of her life, her father, Mason, had consistently abused Michelle, Mikaela, and their mother, Ciara. Michelle and Mikaela spent most of their early childhood with Rich, a good friend of Ciara's, though during the time that the girls were at home, they did still suffer from abuse. After Michelle and her sister turned five, Michelle had timidly walked into the middle of one of her parents' fights. She had tried to stop it, but she ended up getting hurt in the process. Had Rich not arrived when he did, Michelle may have been fatally injured. Ciara broke the marriage to Mason days later, and that was when Rich entered their lives permanently, as he had been a part of their lives since the day the girls were born. All of this had resulted in Michelle's shyness.

When the girls turned six years old, their mother gave birth to twin boys, Alexander and Devon Parker. Their family was complete, and things continued as they normally did. Michelle would watch her father while he was spending time with his Pokemon on occasion. It was during this time that Michelle would come to like Pokemon, although she was torn on becoming a Pokemon trainer or coordinator; she eventually decided on doing both..

On the day of Michelle's eleventh birthday, her parents decided that it would be okay for her to go on a Pokemon journey of her own since she had taken an interest in Pokemon. Mikaela, on the other hand, was staying at home. She hopes that one day she'll become a famous Pokemon master and coordinator.

Her relationship with her family, excluding her biological father, was pretty decent. She's protective over her younger siblings. She also maintains a good relationship with her mother, who currently has no job, and her father, who works at a local shop. Michelle could be described as a bit of a daddy's girl, as she tends to gravitate towards her father more than her mother.

Starting Pokemon: Piplup - Recieved from her father. At level 10. Knows Pound, Growl, & Bubble. Calm & collected. Male.
Cyndaquil - Recieved from her father. At level 7. Knows Tackle, Leer, & Smokescreen. Overly excited & slightly stubborn. Male.

Items: 1 Pokedex, 4 Poke Balls, 1 Potion, 1 Poketch, & a camera.

What is the biscuit's name? The biscuit's name is Biscuit! ...Wait, that's not right! The biscuit's name is Waldorf! Yeah, that's right.
Other Notes: Nothing at all.

I'd like to see more in the Bio. Is her family part of the Amazons (see wiki for details)? For the most part, it just needs more elaboration in her life events. Did her relationship with Mason affect her in any way (perhaps her shyness developed here)? What was the tipping point that led to the divorce? How did Rich enter the picture? Go into detail.

When did Michelle decide she loved pokemon? Was there a major life event that decided her destiny? More detail her, perhaps elaborating on her relationship with Rich and what he did for a living.

Finally, are her pokemon male or female?

This has potential to be a really great character. If you can pump more detail in the bio, I'd be really happy.
