Name: April Leman
Alias/Nickname: Ape, Appy, Apra
Age: Sixteen (March 10th)
Gender: Female
Sexual Background: Bisexual
Occupation: Trainer
*Appearance:
April has long, golden-colored hair, that she wears clipped back on both sides of her head. She prefers to wear it in any way to keep it out of her face, because she often becomes annoyed on having to move it out of her eyes. Her bright, yellow eyes are the most distinct item about her face, often standing out and attracting attention. She has a pale complexion that hardly ever changes color, no matter how long she spends out in the fields. Her regular outfit consists of a dull orange shirt that drapes off her shoulder and is low cut. Over her orange shirt, she wears a pink tank top with a rose pattern that ties in the front, with the straps extending over her shoulders. Her pants are a simple brown color with a white pattern. For her shoes, she wears a pair of golden-colored sandals. She is below average in height, only being 5'2". She is frequently seen with a vacant stare on her face.
*Personality:
Being a shy girl, April has difficulty talking to strangers, but after getting to know them, she can converse with them without any trouble at all. She is fairly creative and enjoys artistic conversations, always thinking of her best ideas when she is alone. Personality wise, she is a friendly, quiet, and reserved girl, only getting excited about anything Pokemon related. Her favorite type of Pokemon is the grass type, after being surrounded by them her whole life. She enjoys spending time around Pokemon and treats them with care.
*History:
Born out in the country, April grew up on a farm that raised and bred grass pokemon, as well as grew crops. Living with her father and two older sisters, her childhood was very quiet. The death of her mother, after giving birth to April, created a void throughout the family, forever changing it. Most of the time, she spent alone out in the fields, reading or playing out with the pokemon. The pokemon provided her with a much needed sense of comfort. Her family rarely spent time with her; her father avoided her as he blamed her for her mother's death.
Homeschooled until the age off eleven, she attended the local town school with her older sisters. The building had the middle school half on one side of the building, with the high school half on the other side. April made a few close friends, but was never considered socially popular, due to her quiet nature. However, people that bothered to get to know her, really liked her and stayed friends with her until she dropped out. Academically, April was very smart, but she never took her classes seriously, resulting in low grades.
After almost being held back a year, her father smacked her across her face for her school performance, and revenge for his sick, twisted idea that April had killed her mother. Hurt, she kept quiet about it, and her father continually abused her every time she received a low grade. Bruises appeared over her body, but she never admitted her secret to anyone. Her older sisters kept quiet because they were scared if they told, their father's next victim would be them. Teachers and friends were concerned, but she never told a soul.
One day, she heard about Minako Region by chance around the town. April imagined the region to be a sanctuary, where her father could never reach touch or hurt her again. A week later, at night, she ran away from home, after saying farewell to her older sisters and all of the pokemon on the farm. A new place represents a new opportunity, where you can forget your past and strive towards your goal. Minako Region is the beginning of a new life for April.
