Name: Hinako Ashin

Age: 9

Rank: New Trainer

Looks: Hinako stands at about four foot three, and will carry a small keychain that holds all of her pokemon in their balls. She keeps a seperate bag for unused pokeballs and recovery items on her back. She will often have stains on her fingers from picking berries and eating them.



Personality: Hinako is a tomboy to the core. She loves being out in the open air, and running around everywhere she goes. Energetic and always seeming to be smiling, Hinako is a very cheerful person, though not an extrovert. She does keep mainly to a group of people she knows, but will gladly have a battle with anyone who's willing. She exercises restraint however, if her pokemon are hurt. She will usually spend a lot of time with them, never letting them out of her sight. She is very intelligent for someone her age, and
has a very high IQ of 148.

History: Hinako is a very different child. She was always rather strange, having an unusual interest in the outside world ever since she could walk at age one. She always wandered outside of her house, walking around and admiring any pokemon she would come across. Her favorite of any pokemon she had ever seen was a small blue pokemon with a yellowish stomach and a back that could spout fire: Cyndaquil. She had always wondered what it would be like to be a trainer since the day she was ten, and she spotted a pokemon trainer fighting. All she could say about the specatcle, and all that she could think was, "Wow." The sparks on the flames jetting through the air were like a set of fireworks to a little child such as herself.

Ever since she was five years old she started to become very interested in pokemon. And the fact that her family moved on a regular basis was only one thing that fueled her desire to become a pokemon trainer. Jumping from Sinnoh, to Kanto, to Johto, Hinako was a kid who loved to travel. She couldn't get enough of moving from place to place, and when she was eight and had moved for the ninth time in her life, she decided, "I wanna be a pokemon trainer." Her parents, although not too in love with the idea of allowing their little girl to wander off on her own, knew just how headstrong and stubborn Hinako was. With that, they did all they could to get her a pokemon, on the condition that she would stay at home until she was a little more experienced with this world. They didn't want her to leave home, or to become a full on trainer. They wanted the little Cyndaquil she was given to be like a pet, although Hinako didn't see it as one.

Hinako didn't listen to her parent's requests, and at the age of nine, she set off. She swore that she would keep in contact, but she also swore that she would become a great trainer. That left her parents with the thought, "We just HAD to have a kid."
