OOC: Siren the Articuno's Re-Ap
((OOC: THANK GOD I get to do hers over. I was hating the original the day after I wrote it. Still, I'll try to stick to as much of the old background as possible. Just--hopefully I'll write it better this time.))

In-Character Information
Name: Articuno, Siren
Game/Series: Pokemon (red/blue/yellow/green/firered/leafgreen/colusseum)
Age & Grade Level: ?? (kinda old but looks about 16)/junior
Personality: Siren is very reserved and naive. She never had any friends or acquaintances while growing up, and this may cause some awkward social interactions or slips in politeness. Many have tried to "capture" her as their own over the yeras, but none have been successful. It's those kinds of encounters that make her avoid others so strongly. Overall, she's a very lonely soul with no sense of purpose in the world. She's aware that she's the last of her kind, and it depresses her deeply to think she can never bear children. Though she may not know it, she suffers from Major Depression and Schizoid personality disorder, causing her to withdraw from others constantly, either to cry to herself in privacy or to simply avoid any situations with strangers.
As a pokemon, she has great empathy for nature, especially ice and cold weather. Having been guarding the depths of a lifeless cave her entire life, she is extremely happy flying freely in the air and enjoying her newfound freedom. In contrast, she's extremely nervous around fire, having only experienced it during her tiresome battles with amateur trainers. In addition, despite having a link to ice, she's also capable of receiving psychopathic messages, however, she's unable to respond to them other than verbally.
Backstory: Siren hatched from her egg on a small, rocky island inside the Seafoam Caverns. As she aged, she came to find out that other pokemon lived nearby, but they'd never approach her due to their fear of her (as of yet unrealized) power. Somehow, she instinctually knew she had to protect these other pokemon from predators, and so in the cave she stayed, lonely and morose. She never knew her family and has never known the true warmth of a friend.
One day, while she was going through the stages of puberty, she gathered up all her will and strength and explored the cavern further than she'd ever ventured before. She eventually found the entrance leading out to the fresh outside air. The sun burned her frail, chilly feathers, but she hardly noticed the pain. She was so struck by the beauty of the light from the sun and the difference in setting that she immediately set out to explore the world. During her travels, she learned about Sumabura Gakuen, a school open to anyone who wanted to learn, and open to all species. Feeling that this was the right path to take, she enrolled as a junior and looks forward to learning all the things she was deprived of as a chick.
Anything Else?: While (somehow) knowledgeable with the journal system, she never types in capital letters. Her punctuation and grammar are acceptable, otherwise. When possible, she prefers to have her outdoor activities indoors during the day and outdoors during the night for reasons previously stated.
In-Character Example Post::
i'm scared. so many pokemon here, and some don't even look like pokemon. no one has said hi to me yet. it appears i'll have to use a pen-sull to take notes in my classes, but i can't properly hold one with my wings. i hope there's a way to get around this problem so i don't fall behind in class.
the sun takes so long to set now. i prefer winter for a number of reasons. i just love spending time outside, but i can't do so when the sun is bearing down on me like a ton of bricks. i can only hope i can build up a resistence to the heat and light someday.
i am so lonely. i'm not sure why, but i feel especially bad today. i am going to lie down and cry--don't mind me. and if anyone is reading this, please--no visitors. i'd like to be by myself for a while.
