PERSONALITY A true heroine is Platinum, though one perhaps a little unusual in comparison to most of the other Pokedex Holders. Although she is an accomplished trainer, researcher and business woman, she does have rather the habit of being somewhat self-serving. Brought up in high society, she has an aspect of vanity and materialism in which her appearance and her belongings tend to mean more to her than they would regularly. She doesn't mean to be quite quite so proud but it was ingrained in her brain to continue onwards in such a way. In a room with other business people or researchers, it's not hard to see how confident and articulate Platinum can be. The young heiress knows her way around the written and spoken word, and despite her quiet voice, she is very blunt and honest about the things she needs to have set on the table. Having studied for many years before she was allowed to travel (and following her travels also) has made Platina very educated on current events and news. She spends large portions of her time reading and so tends to be rather opinionated on topics. Though current events tend to be at the forefront of her mind, when it comes to matters of the heart and emotions, she is rather naiive. Raised to marry for the right reasons for the family, her heart never came into her consideration. She tends to observe situations rather than getting involved if she doesn't have a particularly important opinion to share. Once she has decided on a point, she will respond in a matter as dignified as the rest of her personality. Despite the headlines often wanting to slander her name, Platinum maintains a well groomed appearance and record and anything outside of these guidelines is kept incredibly private. Tabloids can make her feel somewhat uncomfortable, portraying the parts of her personality she'd rather not acknowledge - such as the value she puts into her money and her position. Platinum doesn't know a whole lot about love, but she is a very loyal person at heart. Once she has formed an opinion it is hard for her to change it, and she only lets very few people into her heart. Unfortunately she is not as loving physically as she is in her own mind due to the fact that it demands less of her consideration. Everything the heiress does is done under evaluation of the topic beforehand. She doesn't do anything without thinking.

OTHER ☩ Platinum is a recovering gambler. Every time she comes across a gaming machine or a game of chance she thinks of Diamond and Pearl, who she promised to stop gambling, and that is her only method of fighting her addiction - the fear of losing her closest friends. ☩ She does not use contractions in her speech, meaning words like "doesn't" and "can't" don't come naturally to her. She often speaks more formally because of this, and some people believe she is being pompous, when really she is just speaking the way she was raised. ☩ Platinum's father is Professor Rowan's first aide, which is how she (and eventually Pearl and Diamond) ended up with pokedexes and their starter pokemon. In the end, it was a good selection. ☩ When staying away from home, Platinum generally refuses to stay in lower class hotels, and absolutely refuses to sleep outside. Her family own a large number of hotels, and she would rather stay in one of those than anywhere else. ☩ Platinum's mother is a famous researcher with a great deal of knowledge about ruins and caves. She has written papers that she has had published in many languages, which adds to their already expansive fortune. ☩ At the start of her journey, Platinum put on two rings - a pearl, and a diamond. She has not taken them off since and refuses to ever do so, considering she holds them as closely as she holds her friends Diamond and Pearl. ☩ Her original journey is an age-old tradition of the Berlitz family where it's members must travel to the peak of Mt. Coronet to obtain materials and create a personal piece of jewelry of their family crest. Later she deviated from this journey in order to continue her gym challenge and to assist in the defeat of Team Galactic. ☩ Platinum defeated the previous record (Held by Sapphire) of most gyms defeated in the shortest amount of time. Where it took Sapphire eighty days to complete all eight, Platinum had defeated six gyms in only twenty-five and then the other two shortly following. She maintains the record to this day. ☩ Platinum's specialty as a pokedex holder is in knowledge and understanding. During her childhood she read at least ten books a day. She is most notably associated with the legendary pokemon Uxie for this base of knowledge. Over time she has learned to acknowledge other things than written fact such as matters of the heart. ☩ The main reason Platinum fears Giratina is that she knows it's full power and how easily it defeated some of the strongest trainers she knows. She does not fear it greatly, but when the occasional nightmare strikes, it is often focused on the legendary pokemon's escape from the distortion world. Darkrai is more of a sinister fear, ebbing away at the corners of her mind. ☩ Platinum is currently in a very uncomfortable and slightly awkward situation regarding her marriage. Her father has arranged for her to remarry into the Stone family while her husband Fernando lives unbeknownst to them. His recent announcement of his survival has thrown a spanner in the works. If she was to choose she'd rather remain betrothed to her lifelong friend in Steven, but she doubts her existing husband will be entirely too pleased with that arrangement considering his actions in the past. ☩ Despite being married, Plat really has no feelings for her husband. As is customary in a family of money, she has married according to status. She knows that it is not unusual for marriages in her society to be loveless, though she would have rathered marry someone she liked at the very least. | ||||||||
