Personality
Together, Alex and Nika can't help but meld their personalities somewhat. They both thoroughly enjoy messing with people by having half-conversations with each other, never finishing sentences because the other knows just what they're going to say. Often they will purposely make it obvious what they're talking about, but leave just enough to the imagination to make it fun. This...is not a good thing.
Alex is certainly the bad influence when it comes to messing with people; Nika's mischievousness is quite curbed when her sister isn't around. Not to say Alex spends all her time doing these things, but rather that her default mode of conversation is through teasing mixed with babble. Most people put up with it though because she's quite adorable when she gets excited about things, and she always means well.
Of the two, Nika is surprisingly the more level-headed. Given the ease with which she associates herself with violence, it's often surprising for people to find that she actually enjoys a lot of the quieter kinds of entertainment. That being said we can't forget that Nika is adventurous and enjoys others' company despite her inclinations to spend time alone.
Biography
It's not often that twins are born, and even less so twins that looks exactly alike. It may have been all well and good for twins Alexandra and Veronica if it hadn't been for the ******** The Shining vibe they were giving off. The two seemed to live in their own little world, hands clasped together almost constantly. The way they always spoke in tandem was just plain unnerving. Their parents meant well but they couldn't even hope to understand the connection between the sisters, less so could they fully put behind them how uncomfortable they felt around the twins.
When Alex and Nika reached four years old everything got worse. They began to throw hissy fits and temper tantrums together, so perfectly coordinated in their assault that it often took so long to catch them both that local authorities had to get involved. At that point their mother had had enough and began looking into outlets for the girl's anger and energy. She found a Taekwondo dojang that offered a program for children 3-5 and immediately signed them both up. And so, the psychic twins Alex and Nika became "Little Eagles" at the dojang of Master Kim.
The change was almost instantaneous. Suddenly, the two girls would listen to their parents, and show other people respect as well. They still spoke in unison often, but they began to speak as individuals after they were forced to have different partners than each other after the first couple weeks. They started begging to be taken out to one of their bio-friendly city's parks where they would run around, laughing and playing like actual normal kids, and even sometimes managed to get other kids in on attempting to teach Taekwondo. Needless to say, Alex and Nika's parents were thrilled.
Around the time they were ten, Alex stopped liking Taekwondo so much. She kept going for Nika, but her sister could easily tell Alex wasn't feeling it. Their first fight happened when Alex told Nika she was quitting Taekwondo. The two yelled and screamed at each other, their parents so bewildered at the two fighting that by the time they intervened Alex just stormed off to their room, frustrated that Nika couldn't understand that she just didn't like it that much. Their parents experienced for the first time the odd sensation of splitting up and talking to their girls one on one. Nika's mother spoke to her, explained that of course she didn't have to quit because Alex wanted to, and of course Alex didn't hate her, and when Nika clung to her legs crying she said that of course Nika could sleep with her tonight. Alex's father came to her, sitting beside her bed as she finished screaming into her pillow. He asked her why she wanted to quit, then about what she wanted to do instead. He talked with her a bit more, about other things, until she fell asleep clinging to his shirt sleeve.
That was the day that Nika and Alex began to grow and develop into individuals, the day they finally let go of each other's hand. Shortly after, Nika asked her mom to cut her hair, wanted to not get confused with Alex anymore. Nika became a whirlwind of activity, trying all sorts of things, trying to find what she liked doing. She liked music a lot, and so tried out all sorts of instruments. Eventually she found she liked the piano and guitar the most, though they were a bit cliche. Through all this time, almost a year, the two sisters barely spoke to one another. Nika's bed in their shared room had hardly been slept in since they fought. Their parents were beginning to get truly worried when one day at an outing to a park beyond the city limits two Pokemon sensed how lonely the sisters were, and how dearly they wanted to make up with the other. Twin Ralts came forward from the forest, presenting themselves to the girls, and almost at once it was as if a barrier had been lifted. From then on, they always trained their Pokemon together. Alex came back to practicing Taekwondo, albeit not very intensely, and Nika took enough of an interest in Alex's musical pursuits to learn enough to do simple duets. Though in the end, it turned out shorter hair was better for Taekwondo, so Alex kept it despite her renewed closeness to her sister.
As time went on, the twins gained fame as the best tag team battlers around. Their uncanny ability to know just what the other was going to do lent itself heavily to their strategy. But their fame didn't just come from Pokemon battles. As their newly evolved Kirlias danced across the battlefield, Alex and Nika became a force to be reckoned with in Taekwondo, able to perform in perfect tandem, and and excellent musical combo as well. Curiously, one sister's skills in one subject seemed to bleed into the other sister, making it easier to Alex to be good at Taekwondo and Nika music when they were together.
By the time Alex and Nika were sixteen, they had been told many times of the distant gym leaders, Liz and Tate, that they reminded everyone of. So they sent out a letter, explaining who they were, and waited eagerly for a reply. The reply they got back astonished them- Liz and Tate already knew about them. Would they like to someday come and practice with them? Needless to say, the two and their Kirlias were thrilled, and set off as soon as their parents agreed to it.
When they arrived at Mossdeep City, Alex and Nika were surprised to find that Tate and Liz were only a bit older than them. They'd known that the two were young, but to be so close to them was amazing! At once, Tate and Liz recognized the bond Alex and Nika shared, so similar to their own. It was an added bonus the two had psychic type Pokemon. Though people around the city began talking about Tate and Liz's new visitors, speculating what they were there for, Alex and Nika weren't sure themselves. Tate and Liz were obviously young enough that they wouldn't be retiring for a long time. Either way, both pairs of twins found fighting with each other to be incredible practice- neither set had ever face opponents so well coordinated as each other before. Tate and Liz were bound to bring up memories of one trainer who had worked with his Pokemon almost as in sync, years ago. One day while they were training at the space station Alex picked up a strange rock that Tate and Liz recognized as a dawn stone. So, Nika gave the stone to her Kirlia, and Alex's Kirlia seemed to find it prudent to evolve as well. With this new-found power, Alex and Nika started to give Tate and Liz a run for their money. Eventually, the two decided to explain about the Mark of Leadership, telling Alex and Nika that, though they may not be ready to give up the gym just yet, they wouldn't mind sharing it so they could go explore the world, having become the gym leaders at such a young age. Nika and Alex accepted, of course. And for this grand occasion, Nika decided to start bleaching her hair. She'd been planning on it for a while, and whenever Alex asked she'd respond that she didn't intend to scare off all the guys by being the freaky look-alike twins. Alex had a feeling Nika'd wanted to do it for a while and was just using that as an excuse.
