Name: Sybil Law
Age: 20 years old
Gender: Female
Profession: Breeder (former Trainer)
Alignment: Civilian (Neutral Good with Lawful Neutral tendencies)
Appearance: Sybil stands at a graceful five feet seven inches tall with a slim figure that has well toned muscles from years of working with Pokemon and many weeks spent on the road camping, hunting and fishing. Her obsidian black hair is thick and wavy, falling below the middle of her back and layered in the front to frame her pale sea green eyes and compliment her usually somber expression.
She currently wears a long, fitted and formal looking black leather coat that falls just below her knees, brass buttoned in the front over the rest of her outfit. Beneath the coat lies a pair of well worn charcoal colored jeans slung snug against her hips, tucked into a pair of well worn and trusted steel toed black weather proof work boots. A fitted white tank top completes her ensemble with a soft gray sweater tied loosely around her waist for warmer climates.
While not one for flashy accessories, the eighteen year old carries around the old, battered pokeball her first partner, a Dratini named "Mystica", used to reside within on a silver chain around her neck. A picture of her younger, ten year old self with the Pokemon is held within the ball as well as a picture of her mother... and a picture of a tall man with short, spiky red hair standing beside her with a cocky, arrogant grin on his face.
Her needed accessories, tools and items are currently carried in a black pouch that clips easily on to her belt, anything else is stored in a black weather-proof backpack that professional Rangers back in the Sinnoh and Hoenn regions swear by.
Personality: To those who knew her well, and even those who do not, an adequate description of the young woman would be "Cautious". Everything she tends to do is carefully thought out, weighed against other choices and then acted upon as soon as she is sure that it's the right thing to do. Naturally introverted and secretive, Sybil doesn't tend to give out much information about herself, mostly for fear it'll get back to the individual she is currently on the run from.
As a former trainer, she is quietly passionate about Pokemon and the fair treatment of them, preferring to exhaust all other options before going to the extent of breaking a law in order to free one that may be mistreated by its owner. Sybil finds more joy in raising Pokemon to their greatest potential and caring for them than she does in the middle of a heated, tense battle. As the daughter of a deceased ranger from the Sevii islands, she does tend to be a bit of an environmentalist and is careful not to leave any permanent mark in any camp she makes or stays in. Few people who've grown close enough to the young woman have remarked that she would make a rather good Gym Leader- if she managed to put her mind to it and the right place could be found.
Biography: Sybil was born in Viridian City to an active, passionate Ranger named Pythia Rivers and a local police officer by the name of Angelo Law. The two, though quite different in terms of personality, chose to marry one another out of a sense of duty to the unborn child and, while not completely happy, were content to keep one another company during the pregnancy and Sybil's early childhood years.
At five years old, the couple separated and Pythia took full custody of her daughter, returning to her original post in the Sevii Islands as the head of the Ranger squad. Though the community they lived in was quite small, the entire town took on the "everyone's child is our child" mentality and raised each other's children as if they were their own. This came in handy when, in a tragic typhoon, Sybil's mother drowned and her body later recovered by her beloved rangers to be buried.
Vowing to make her mother proud, the seven year old girl began training her mind and body in preparation to become a great Trainer and earned the right to take her playmate, an abandoned runt of a Dratini she named Mystica, as her very first Pokemon and set out into the wide world to pursue her dream. Gyms rose and fell before her eyes and her strong, iron will earned her the right to challenge the Elite Four at the age of fourteen.
However, during the final round, Sybil's world came crashing down in a matter of seconds during the battle. Her reason for coming so far, her purpose for getting to the very top of the Trainer rankings was no longer something she could remember. Devastated and unable to continue something she found utterly empty and pointless, Sybil recalled her pokemon and forfeit the match entirely, bowing out in quite the sudden defeat and disappearing from Kanto entirely.
She traveled into Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh- each time pursued by the one whose match she'd left unfinished, and each time barely able to escape from the confrontation with her former Pokemon League opponent with her embarrassing, painful secret left just that; a secret.
When news of a war-torn land in recovery reached her ears a week past her twentieth birthday, Sybil decided it would be the perfect place for someone who needed to disappear, someone who needed a fresh beginning in a land where no rumors from Kanto or any other region could possibly follow and haunt her. Her mind made up, she set upon her new journey, leaving her beloved partners behind in her hometown for those who still loved her like family to care for and love in her place.
