Akiko has my Black 2 team and it kind of broke my heart to go back so far and leave out the rest of her team, but I think it will be much more interesting for other people (and for myself, yeah) to role-play with her at this point in her life. Back when she had an actual goal, whoops. 

Her birthday is coincidentally today because that's when I started my Black 2 game apparently. 

My notes are not as extensive as they should have been at this point in the game so I had to guess for Gus's ability and Crowley's level and moveset. 

Behind the Name randomly generated last name. Creativity at its best.

| Personality |
-Athletic: Akiko’s been in dance classes since she was three and spent high school on the varsity cheer squad. She had offers of cheerleading scholarships from multiple universities that she ended up not taking.

-Night Noctowl: You’ll rarely see Akiko up in the morning. And if you do, you’ll probably wish you hadn’t.

-Snarky: Akiko’s go-to humor is sarcasm. Especially when she’s feeling grumpy. Which is pretty often lately.

-Competitive: She’s often apathetic about things but once she gets into an activity, whether it’s ballet or Mario games, she’s in it to win it.

-Loyal: Once someone has her affection, it’s really hard to lose it. Akiko will stick it out with her friends no matter what happens and can't seem to let go.

-Resistant: Akiko has a really hard time dealing with change. Sometimes she responds just by shutting down or not engaging.

| History |
Akiko was born and raised in Aspertia City by her mother (and later her stepmother too). Her dad lives in Opelucid City and although she rarely sees him throughout the year, she typically spends a month with him in the summer. Until this summer.

Even though she had scholarship offers, Akiko didn’t attend any of the colleges that accepted her. With all her friends headed off for college, work, or Pokémon training, Akiko spent the last six months doing nothing constructive, even refusing to take a job at her stepmom’s bakery.

Unwilling to see Akiko waste more of her time, her mom registered Akiko to be a Pokémon trainer to at least get her active again. Even though her stepmother promises her that travelling and working with Pokémon is a great way to find yourself, Akiko is just determined to walk straight to her dad’s and resume doing nothing.

| Extra |
-She gets pretty nervous around canid Pokémon.
 -Total caffeine addict.
-Lactose intolerant.
-Has a stepbrother who is two years older and in college.
-Her mom and her stepmom have been together since Akiko was three. When Akiko refers to her parents, she means them. Her dad is just her dad.
-Akiko is familiar enough with Pokémon to identify them and know basics like types and effectiveness, but she is a poor tactician and isn’t very skilled at choosing attacks. 

Belt Pokémon

| Move Set |
1. : Grass: Mega Drain - A nutrient-draining attack. The user's HP is restored by half the damage taken by the target.
2. : Grass: Leaf Tornado - The user attacks its target by encircling it in sharp leaves. This attack may also lower the target's accuracy.

4. : Normal: Growth - The user's body grows all at once, raising the Attack and Sp. Atk stats.
| Personality |
Crowley is calm and quiet. Akiko picked him over Tepig or Oshawott because she felt that his mellowness would keep her from becoming attached to her and vice-versa, making it easy to rehome him when she gets to her dad’s and stops needing any Pokémon to travel with. He’s so quiet she can’t tell if it’s working or not, though.

4. : Normal: Fury Swipes – The target is raked with sharp claws or scythes for two to five times in quick succession. 
| Personality |
Penelope is typically reluctant to battle. Even though Akiko actually likes her, she’s difficult to motivate. She seems pretty uninterested in training or Akiko. She likes being outdoors and lying around in the sun but will enjoy getting some exercise if it doesn’t involve fighting.

| Personality |
This little dude is cheerful as plop. Even though Akiko isn’t particularly interested in him except to use him to keep herself safe, he’s determined to be her friend. And everyone’s friend.

I’ve traditionally role-played over email, but I can work with whatever. Leave a comment to let me know if you’re interested. (Or send me a note if you’re not comfortable with doing that in public.)


EDITS:
3/20/16: Edited the picture. Drew a new, cleaner headshot and body reference (that now shows how long her hair is when down) and made the text easier (hopefully) to read.
