disclaimer 1: i can't pick cool song lyrics for the life of me
disclaimer 2: i'm feeling too lazy atm to go out and pick a nice pretty plot page, so you guys are stuck with plain.
the low-down: clara is a young woman who is more concerned about herself than anything else. in her life, far more things have been stolen than bought and don't be surprised if you, or someone nearby, has discovered their wallet (or super-sized milkshake) has gone missing. clara is a user, and this is more true for her pokemon than any other living thing. she still respects them, of course, but not enough to consider them above (or even equal to) her.
(the wanted sectino thing are just some ideas i'm throwing out. really, i'm open to whatever plots you guys can come up with)
the likeships: it's best be on someone's good side, no matter who that someone is, and clara knows that. she's naturally outgoing and can be as friendly and nice as is required - but for the most part it is an act. clara can have acquaintances who she's friendly with, but she's not good at making any actual friends. if friendship was a relationship which she could only take from and didn't have to give, then maybe she would have some real friends, but that's not the way the world works and she's not going to change herself for it.
wanted: friendly acquaintances; old "almost friends" she's fallen out with; people who can show her what friendship is, how it works and why she should be bothered with it (that will take quite some time); if someone wants to try and convert her from the knights of arceus, that'd be cute and interesting, but success isn't guaranteed; aaand everyone else
the dislikeships: clara is a user. she only cares about herself and has no problem ursing people and throwing them away when she doesn't need them anymore. she treats her pokemon the same way. usually when people figure this out, they don't like her, particularly the people who preach about friendship and how pokemon are your friends or whatever they're saying these days. however, that's not how clara gets most of her haters - most of them are people who have caught her (or her pokemon) stealing, either off themselves or others. stealing is what she's known for, and that's what people hate her for. if clara's around, watch your food and watch your wallets, and please for the love of arceus don't let the newbie trainers believe her when she says that she has a super cool awesome rare pokemon she wants to trade away.
oh. and she's a coordinator sometimes. when she remembers. hmm. so there may also be a couple of rivals whom she isn't really serious about.
wanted: people she can steal off; people she has stolen off before; aforementioned old "almost friends" who realised she was actually a horrible friend (something bad may have happened between them); half-assed/fake coordinator rivalry; newbies she worked her trading scam on (she promised a super cool pokemon, they got a bidoof)*; aaand everyone else
*this is how she got her pamcham and abra. she got the mr mime jr by trickin the daycare couple. if anyone wants to make a plot out of that, let me know.
the romanceships: again, clara only thinks about herself, so forming a relationship with her isn't exactly the best idea. she would take advantage of the poor sucker, always saying "buy me this!" or "get me that!" and never give anything back in return. no one with a brain would stick with her for long. one-off things like flings and one night stands are more likely, but clara will be far more interested in the contents of your refrigerator/pantry/wallet than the actual person. thankfully, she has a singing skitty who can keep them asleep while she grabs whatever she wants.
wanted: a sucker or two who she can mooch off; ex-suckers who are quite unhappy about the mooching; toys to flirt with; people whose fridge/pantry she can raid and money she can steal after they've slept together or whatever; aaand everyone else
the family: i've been vague about her family so far. her family is on the larger side, and pretty much everyone does their fair share of petty crime. maybe there's even the odd relative who aimed above petty crime and succeeded, or maybe they failed. a small number of her family are also members of the knights of arceus; they're the ones who pressured her into joining.
wanted: i'm not really after anything specific (i like relatives to mostly be npcs), but if someone wants to play a relative who pressured her into joining the knights, i'd be more than up for that; people who also know her relatives for whatever reason could be fun if we work something out;

CLARA + Pearl;
What better person to mooch off than a Dex Holder! *cough* Possibly the two could form a one-sided friendship? Clara could probably steal some amount of stuff off him or something of the sort. After all we're friends! Friends give each other things and never return them, right? Being a goodie goodie, he could try to teach her about friendship if you're interested in that sort of thing as well. |

aw yiss. i am digging this idea. both ideas. be prepared for teachings to get misinterpreted. you're supposed to look after and support friends unconditionally? okay, then give me stuff and don't ever ask why.
still not sure whether she initially decides to mooch or steal though... how about she first sends her pokemon to steal from him, deems said stolen thing (one of those notebooks maybe?) as worthless, decides to play nice and return it, and then the mooching begins..? because hey she returned your silly notebook and wants a reward. does that sound okay?

Sounds A-Ok to me dude. One of the notebooks would sound good since he probably has a few or possibly the Pokedex which could give her more of a reason to give it back and have more of a 'guilt trip' maybe? Idk I like the notebook idea though hehe. They're not worthless weh Nonetheless sounds good to me! |

well, if clara's pokemon stole the pokedex for her she wouldn't give it back. she'd sell it at an electronics store without a second thought. no guilt trip. no easy way of getting it back.
used notebooks on the other hand are pretty worthless don't lie can't really be sold. so back to pearl it goes. (unless pearl has a super hardcore, possibly stalker-ish fan clara can take advantage of...)
you want me to start up a thread for this?

True, true, that makes sense. Sounds reasonable to me lol. (As for stakerish fans not that I'm aware of currently) That'd be awesome if you could start up a thread though. |
