Zonoya Wry

[Lark]

Name:
Zonoya Wry
(Zoe)

Gender:
Female

Age:
26

Rank:
Silver

Appearance:
Zoe, being related to Aspen, also has that crazy fire-engine scarlet hair. It falls like a waterfall of bright blood down her back all the way to her hips, and somehow maintains a glossy shine... God knows how she brushes all of that in the morning. Her scalp and bangs are covered by a bandanna, striped periwinkle and white. It has quite a few patches in it from wear and tear, but is otherwise in pretty good shape.

Ms. Wry is quite thin and/or wiry, though for a woman she is musclebound. Not on-steroids-musclebound, but she has a very strong air about her- you'll hear more about said air later, in her history, which proves to be quite interesting. To me, anyway- I don't know about you people out there in the world.

She is a flat-chested woman who likes to wear sailor's clothing- tight-fitting garments, usually. Sometimes striped, like her bandanna, and other times plain- it depends on what kind of day it is. Sometimes one of those fancy button-up vests; but she tries to keep her wardrobe small for the sake of having enough money to feed herself and possibly other people.

Zoe wears open-fingered gloves like her brother, with an opening on the back of the hand. That's there for decoration- no fingers is more for better hand freedom. Her wrists are smallish, bird-like with that giant raptor-claw bone on it that seems to run in the family. Great for jabbing, I know.. Her elbows and chin are also "sharp", but that's beside the point. Zoe's hands are kind of like satin, if you see her without the gloves. They are certainly a bit paler than the rest of her skin, which is a nice shade of tan.

The eyes on this lass are a gorgeous leaf-green, set above a slightly freckled nose and cheekbones. Her face is not gaunt, nor is it fat- it is one of this inbetween ones, although leans toward gaunt rather than fat. The shape of her face is heart-shaped, and her smile is something that seems to brighten up the world.

Her pants are normally long and loose, colors ranging from pale periwinkle to blackish navy. Again, they're sailor wear, therefore are made so they won't snag on anything on a ship. Zoe also tends to go barefoot, although will slip on slippers or tennis shoes should the need be.

Oh, I forgot to mention. She's about six foot two. (Tall, yes.)

Personality:
Zonoya Wry, where did your brother go wrong and you go right. Oh yes, he had no real way of maintaining a decent amount of sanity.. Anyway.

Zoe is a person who believes your soul is reincarnated when you die and that you should live your life and not listen to any direction you don't want to that may change your way of living. She enjoys reading ancient proverbs and doing good deeds in general, hoping for some money to buy food for her brother or herself. She's a determined person, a person willing to knock down any obstacles in order to achieve what is needed or desired.

Would you believe it if I said she was bloody kind? Well, she's bloody kind. If she could, she'd donate to charities and save a forest and whatnot. She'd achieve world peace and make sure everyone had their fair share. But things aren't that easy, so she tries to make it all better by being the kind, reassuring, gentle person she is. Want a hug? You got it. Need some advice? Right here.

Oh, Zoe is the one to see for advice. In my opinion, anyway.

She'll give you a proverb, speel out some intelligence for you, find ways to make you feel better. Zonoya can be a funny lass, she can. Unfortuanetly, people seem to be too busy for a person like herself- no one would hire a comedian, or would fire her when they found out. But she didn't let this get her down- no, she's an optimist.

Did I mention Zoe loves to sing? Well, she loves to sing. Lullabies, carols, you name it. She's just a talented little girl, isn't she? However, like all mortal and immortal beings, she has her flaws.

Zoe tends to worry. Worry about family, friends, anyone or thing she's close to. She tends to care about their wellfare more than her own sometimes, which is her fatal flaw. She experiances angst, self-pity; but she only gives her a few minutes each day, up to an hour if she really needs it, to feel this way. To vent, to let it all out. Then, she tells herself that she should spread joy- not depression- and moves on with the day.

I think that covers her weaknesses and other things. Trust me, there's a lot in there, you have to look hard for them though.

History:
Zonoya Wry lived a life of care and nurturing and education, and when she was eight, played the role of an older sibling. As soon as her younger brother Aspen was off milk and baby food, however, something spiralled out of wack in their parents heads. They appeared and cared for them less and less, and eventually they dissappeared altogether. Zoe had been working odd jobs by then, to sustain her brother's life as well as her own.

When her brother was old enough to work odd jobs as well, she got a job as a sailor in Hoenn. She worked there every other six months- shifts, I suppose. SHe got to know a lot of people, made a lot of friends, swapped tall tales, the like. She gained her strength and rough-handedness from the hard labor of it all, although the pay was good.

She constantly sent letters to her little brother, although soon she had to work every other year due to longer voyages. This unsettled her, for she was concerned about the wellfare of her sibling, however after just of these she quit her job in Hoenn and came straight back to Raigona.

After one last visit to her little brother, who was not so little anymore (even at ten he was quite tall), she mysteriously vanished. The truth was that she'd gone to the Trainer League, however Aspen never found that out. She never put an address on her letters after that, not even for returns- strange, really, but it worked. Aspen never really did find out where she was, although Zoe finally decided to give him a hunch and invite him to join the Trainer League.

Partner:

Bryce is a loyal bird. He loves the feel of human contact on his surprisingly soft steel feathers, although does enjoy the fact that he can slit skin at the slightest touch with the correct edge of a wing feather. He's a gigantic bird as well, about a fourth bigger than other skarmory- growth hormone malfunction? Maybe. Bryce is a crafty fellow, but often relies on brute force to get a job done.. Maybe its because he's a bit sadistic.
