Introduction to Lilac Schwanhild is the introduction to a zany world of color and wonder and rainbows. Her endless reserve of energy and endless stream of chatter will leave you breathless for sure. Nobody knows where she came from but certainly she is here to stay.
Lilac Diane Kornelia Alexandrine Schwanhild - Pronunciation(s): LYE-LAHK dee-AH-nuh kar-NEE-lee-ah ah-lek-sahn-DREE-nuh SHVAHN-hilld - Lilac: Arabic (from Persian): refers to the shrub of the same name with purple or white blooms Behind the Name - Diane: French, from the Roman goddess associated with the moon, hunting, forests, etc. Behind the Name - Kornelia: German/Polish, feminine form of Cornelius, Latin: "horn." Behind the Name - Alexandrine: German/French, from Greek Alexandros: "defending men." Behind the Name - Schwanhild: German, actually not a surname (but don't tell her): "swan battle." Behind the Name - Hidden Meaning(s): When she introduces herself, she often runs her entire name together without taking a breath. "I'm lilacdianekorneliaalexandrineschwanhild... but you can call me ORANGES." This name often changes, depending on a current obsession. Over time, others will introduce her, to avoid confusion. Nickname(s) - At Home: Lilac - In Town: Depends on how she was introduced - Friends: Lilac, otherwise however she was introduced
Physical Stats - Gender: Female - Stature: Currently she is short and round with no visible neck. - Skin/feathers: Bright blue. - Optical Orifices: Black - Other Features: See swablu description
Clothing - Style: She will like loud, frilly outfits. A combination of sweet lolita, costume, and gothic styles would be her favorite, most likely.
Personality: - Nature: Quirky - Summary: Lilac loves to collect things. Be they people, objects, or ideas, she can get caught in quite the rut trying to capture them all. But when she can focus on one rallying cause, she can be the most powerful person in the group, planning, motivating, and most importantly, making everyone recognize their contribution. With respect to that, she can be the driving force to get a project done, just as she can help a depressed friend begin to see the silver lining in the raincloud.
- Myers-Briggs Profile: - - ENFP - - Extravert iNtuition Feeling Perceiving - - As The Advocate, friends, family, and those around her are the center of her world. She draws them in with her charisma and passion for her goals and the issues that matter to her. She makes them care about these things because of her ability to communicate all the possibilities she sees in them. She may also take up the charge for another person's goals and advocate just as passionately because she can see the endless potential for this new idea. She also applies these passions for less important things, such as collections, colors, and just the people she surrounds herself with. At such times perhaps she lacks the focus that make her great, but sometimes seeing the value in everything can be quite the detriment.
- Likes: Bright colors, collecting things (and people) -- she will claim you as hers - Strengths: outgoing, confident, surprisingly intelligent and quick to catch on to things (trivia, memorization of dates, numbers, and exercises) - Abilities: empathy (see dislikes); good luck and/or timing; beautiful singing voice, not that you'd know it from her constant yacking
- Dislikes: frustration and sadness -- she will give you a big hug and cry with you, even if she does not understand the situation. She also dislikes being alone, though she can entertain herself easily enough. - Weaknesses: lack of focus, long-term memory loss (or perhaps she is feigning memory loss?). - Fears: anger and violence.

Swablu is an adorable round little bird with an obsession for personal hygiene. Rarely can one be seen alone, for they live in flocks with other swablu and altaria in the wooded mountains and low-lying forests below.

Behavior: Swablu is a neat freak and is shockingly familiar with humans, going to far as to randomly perch on their heads. Breeding - Egg Group: Flying and Dragon groups - Gender Ratio: 50% male, 50% female - Gender Differences: Probably none; possibly size? - Courtship: Unknown

Lore: - Japanese Name: チルット, Tyltto, possibly referring to Tyl, a star from constellation Draco, or a reference to The Blue Bird by Maurice Maeterlinck. - English Name: Probably swab (as in cotton swab) and the color blue; or it may be referring to swallows, which have a similar tail. - Pokémon Origin: According to Bulbapedia, its design is based on a bluebird and cotton or clouds, but its behavior is common to that of a grey jay, which also sits on people's heads. - Trivia: - - Swablu and its evolution are the only pokemon with the same dual egg group.

At first glance, Altaria appears to be a long-necked bird caught up in a thick, fluffy cloud. In actuality, Altaria's wings cover its body as it folds them like a swan. It's back is actually blue like the rest of its body!

Behavior: Unknown.
Abilities - Pixilate All Normal-type moves become Fairy-type moves and receive a 30% boost in addition to other modifiers, in battle. Out of battle effects unknown. - Other: Flying and soaring, singing that can lull its listeners. Its voice sounds even more beautiful than in its regular form. Base Stats: - Hit Points: 75 - Attack: 70 - Defense: 90 - Special Attack: 70 - Special Defense: 105 - Speed: 80 - Total: 490 - Note: I have no idea if there is a change between normal and Mega Altaria, so I have listed Altaria's stats.

Lilac is not one to fight, but a lady needs to know how to protect herself! Most of her learnset will be defensive and/or in relation to her already beautiful singing ability.
Ability: - Natural Cure: Heals all status ailments when leaving battle (she always feels swell!)
Current Learnset: - see Starting Learnset
Level Breakdown: - Name: ???-type, category (physical attack or status move) (if STAB bonus), describes how SHE does it
Starting Learnset: - Peck: Flying-type, physical attack with STAB bonus, you will feel her heavy beak ramming repeatedly into the top of your skull, that is unless you're hard-headed thanks to Protect. - Growl: Normal-type, status, her growl is high-pitched and shouldn't seem scary but it has the power to run shivers down your spine, reducing you and your buddy's Attack ability by one stage, unless you have Protect or Abilities that nullify its effects.

Home! Home! on the RANGE. With the pots, pans and food that is strange!
Lilac was first spotted on the Moldavite Plains heading from the mountains. It is uncertain from where she originates. Once she landed on Nigel, whom was working over the summer with her aunt and uncle on their ranch, that was it. She followed him everywhere oblivious to any danger it may hold, from bull gentling and doduo healing, to training. And finally when he across the land into the city that he really called home, she almost-faithfully followed him there, too.
She now likes to play hide-and-seek around town, though he doesn't seem to see it that way. She also likes to tease the boys, seeing it as her solemn (is she capable of solemnity?) job to do.

Scrapbook Photos! Don't ever give her a camera.
Photo Album - Official art, by Mewmouse: Lilac has a scrapbook that she does not know about. She has forgotten it somewhere. In actuality, Nigel is keeping it for her and updates it when he can. He thinks it may help her to remember what she has lost, before she loses it.

Even the silliest birdbrain has room for growth, so it should not be too much of a surprise to see Lilac grow in size and maturity as well. Maybe one day she will even become a mega altaria! Only time will tell.
