This is what I was given at birth: Alice Hadder
But I don't mind this as well: ... Actually, just call me Alice, thank you.
What? You seriously can't tell? I'm wearing enough frills, you'd think you'd be able to tell I'm a girl.
I have been alive for 25 years and the counter isn't stopping anytime soon!
Been here a while: This will be my third year.
Hey, this is who I am! I'm rather quiet, and generally keep to myself. People tend to think I'm... creepy. Not that I mind; aside from Pokemon Battles and the occasional date, I'm not one for spending time with other people. My persona as a disturbed individual works rather well on the battlefield, tends to trip people up. I like to play that up, speak in creepy tones and make comments that give people goose-bumps. It generally trips them up, makes them make dumb decisions. Suits me. I don't want my badge to be easy to earn, after all.
Where my adventure began: Lavender Town, in the Kanto Region.
A little of my story:I grew up in Lavender Town, which was renowned for ghost sightings. I found Ghost Pokemon fascinating from a very young age, and used to sneak away from my home at night to go to the Pokemon Tower and try to see them. When I was a pre-teen, my friends and I, before embarking on our own journey, agreed to all spend the night in the tower with our first Pokemon and try to catch one of the elusive Ghosts. I was the only one of four to be successful, and started my journey with a Charmander and a Ghastly, who I affectionately named Cheshire in preparation for his evolving into a Gengar. I was, of course, a bit disappointed that there were no more ghosts to be found in my own region, but I loved my other Pokemon very much. I took good care of them all and loved them very much, but I was always waiting on the day I could journey to another region and find more ghosts.
I did, of course, and was incredibly happy on the day that I had a party comprised entirely of my spooky friends. I continued to battle and grow in skill and became an apprentice to the Gym Leader in Gloomy Glen at age 15. From that day on, I worked hard, training with my master and learning all I could. When she decided to retire, I was proud to be named her successor. Since then, I worked hard on training my team to be the best it could be and learning how to use the fear inherent in training ghosts to my advantage. These days, I'm a pretty strong competitor. It's a lot of hard work, but it's also about image. Image can make or break a match if your opponent is on equal or higher ground than you. I've defeated several trainers who were more skilled than I through sheer intimidation. It's why I was asked on at the school; I teach The Psychology of Battle. My class is all about showing students the power of image and mind games. If you can convince your opponent that you're a tough match, you can win, provided you're packing at least one decent Pokemon. It might make it harder for me to beat some of my own students down the road, but I think that's fair. I wouldn't want winning to be too easy, after all.
Oh my goodness! That is pure love!:
- ❤ Scary stories and movies
❤ Chocolate covered anything
❤ Finding anyone I battle to be a challenge, both to scare and to defeat
❤ Reading by the candlelight on a dark, stormy night
Really? You're lucky you aren't dead...
- ♡ Sore Losers
♡ Trainers with more ego than sense.
♡ Sunlight. I'm very fair and burn very easily.
♡ People who insult my ghosts! Just because they're creepy doesn't mean they don't have feelings!
W-why are you doing this!?
- ✖ Drowning. It's a recurring nightmare I have.
✖ Psychics. Yes, okay? I'm afraid of my mind being read and my future being told.
Someday from a shooting star... Being known as the best Ghost Pokemon Trainer there ever was. Cliche, I know, but hey, what else should I aspire to? I'm already pretty awesome.
I have great importance, you know!: I'm the Gloomy Glen Gym Leader.
