Noelle Gully

Name: Noelle Gully
Age: 23
Birthday: August 15th
Residence: Lossulli, Lualdi Region

Appearance: Noelle has both freckles and scars across her whole body. Despite having lived in tropical Lualdi all her life, she wears long-sleeved shirts or light jackets and long pants almost all the time solely to cover the scars. Her scars are tinged purple and secrete a harmless, violet pus that looks similar to poison if too much pressure is applied to them, making her look rather ill if she doesn't cover her face's scars with make-up. She also normally wears a hunting hat with ear flaps or headphones to hide how she's missing her right ear, and her tendency to cover most of her body means that although her face is tanned, the rest of her body is pale. Gloves are also often a component in her outfits, but when it gets hot, they're the first thing to go. Sweatbands are sometimes employed when she feels she has to wear short-sleeved shirts due to the weather. Given her wardrobe of various sports jerseys and jackets emblazoned with team logos, this doesn't look too out of place.

Due to an accident in her past, Noelle's entire lower body is robotic, and much of her wardrobe decisions are to hide this. Someone who is particularly observant might notice her legs look a little too long in proportion with the rest of her body, or they might notice places where her pants catch in her legs' joints. A robotic spine implant carries information from her brain to her legs, allowing her to control them mostly without issue, but it's extremely difficult to hide the metal spine except by never wearing anything open-back. Her hair covers where the spine goes along her neck and enters into her skull. Although her hair is naturally strawberry-blonde, she dyes it different colors at least once every few months. Currently, black is her favored color, as it looks good with her blue eyes.

Personality: Noelle's extraversion and hesitation to trust people are at odds with one another. She fears trusting people with too much information or them learning too much about her. The idea of other people judging her to be weird paralyzes her with anxiety. On the other hand, she's extremely sociable and loves talking to people. She can't stand being on her own for too long, even talking to inanimate objects in her home just to fill the silence. Thankfully, she also has a Shinx, named Lowin, that reduces any potentially lonely feelings. Lowin is typical of the kinds of Pokémon Noelle likes -- things that are small, cute, fluffy, or all three. She doesn't care much for intimidating-looking Pokémon, and she downright despises overly-insect Pokémon, particularly Scolipede.

Although she's good at memorizing things very quickly, Noelle isn't very book-smart and mostly slept through high school. Difficult or overly-theoretical concepts tend to elude her, and she often errs towards a simplistic view of the world. She's rather intuitive socially, however, and she does her best to ensure everyone she's talking to is comfortable and having fun. Noelle can get defensive, particularly about herself or her privacy, and being a bad liar on top of that has gotten her into some tense social situations. Her temper can get the better of her when her buttons are pushed, though she tries to apologize and make up for her initial anger once she calms down.
