Personality: +Generous, +Knowledge, +Gentle, =Modest, =Soft, -Messy, -Easily Discouraged, -Calculating

Generous- Robecca was taught to be a generous pokemon. She would take time out of her day to help people around her, no matter how big or small the problem was. She would help pokemon that are struggling with a task; putting up a sign, carry in groceries, etc.

Knowledge- Robecca's intelligent in some areas after graduating from college. Although she is not that good in certain areas, she does know some history, knows how to sew, is decent in math, and - thanks to her mom - knows some medical information. Even though she still has a lot to learn, Robecca wants to use that knowledge to her advantage and help other 'mon more and more.

Gentle- Robecca doesn't like to say anything rude to another 'mon. She never raises her voice when it comes to arguments and prefers to say her words in a calm, gentle manner so the other 'mon can calm down.

Modest- Robecca's very modest. She doesn't like to be above everyone and wants to be on the same level as everyone. But in doing so it makes her sound like she's not confident in herself.

Soft- Robecca's a pokemon who sometimes takes things to heart. She basically wears her heart on her sleeve, so when people say something rude or nice she takes it personally. Even though they might not mean it in a rude way she will take it that they were angry with her and get upset. She's still developing, so she hopes to get stronger and not take things too personally.

Messy- Robecca's a messy pokemon. She leaves things scattered in her room; on the floor, on the desk. It's gotten to the point where she sometimes forgets where she put important assignments and items.

Easily Discouraged- Robecca discourages herself easily. Whenever she forgets where she put important documents/papers, she starts kicking herself in the butt for it (metaphorically speaking). Because she easily discourages herself constantly, her confidence in herself decreased drastically emotionally.

Calculating- When making big choices she calculates to the point where it makes her slow at making big decisions. If asked a question that requires a quick answer she hesitates and tries to think of an answer. And if it's a choice that could affect her family she waits much longer, pondering many ideas, before finally making her choice.

Biography:
Mother and father: Selena and Hector Aldor (Delphox and Arcanine. both alive and living in Nimbasa City)
Grandparents: Lucius and Opal Smith (Lucario and Delphox. alive and living with Selena and Hector in Nimbasa City
Sibling: Kenny Aldor (Growlithe alive and being cared for by parents in Nimbasa City)

Robecca was born in Nimbasa City, Unova where her mother, Selena, who primarily worked as a nurse but was also a writer. While her father, Hector, was a car repairman. While growing up in the household it would get a little lonely during the afternoon hours. At times one parent would be home early in order to help take care of the family, or both parents were too busy with their jobs that they couldn’t take care of their daughter. That would leave Robecca’s grandparents to take care of her when the parents weren’t around. On the day of her parents’ wedding anniversary, Robecca’s grandparents were asked to keep an eye on the young fennekin while they were out for the next few hours. Opal taught her how to sew and also helped to establish learning skills. While Lucius would entertain his granddaughter with his magic tricks and tell her stories about his youth before he met his wife.

This got the little fennekin wanting to be a magician like her grandpa, so every now and then she would ask her grandpa to teach her one of his magic tricks. When she asked, he gladly took her to a magic shop to get her some starting equipment to start her training. Lucius got her some books about proper execution for the tricks, taught her to remain calm while performing, and even taught her a few of his own tricks that he taught himself over the years. As for Opal, she taught Robecca how to make simple repairs to any of her clothes if they had small rips, or if any of the toys her grandmother made for her accidentally ripped. This got Robecca into making dolls as well. At first, Robecca’s creations were rather simple, but her grandmother knew that, with time and practice, her granddaughter will grow and become more adept.

When Robecca was seven years old, her family and their friends went on a camping trip into the deep parts of Pinwheel Forest. It was kinda boring with all the adults talking about things that she didn't understand, so the little fennekin decided to walk away from the boring chatter and further into the trees unnoticed… or so she thought. Her grandfather had noticed that his grandchild was running off somewhere. He used psychic to drag his granddaughter back and placed her in front of him so he could lecture her for trying to run off. Robecca puffed out her cheeks. This is no less boring than the other adults’ conversations.

The young fennekin quickly thought of a way to trick her grandfather, even though it felt wrong. She asked him to show her how to do the ring linking trick again because she wanted to learn how to properly execute it. He paused for a moment and smiled, thinking his granddaughter was no longer trying to leave. He started going through his bag, looking for the small metal rings with his back turned to the girl. Seeing her chance open up, Robecca quickly, but silently, ran off. Once he found what he was looking for, he turned back to the fennekin, but suddenly realized his granddaughter was gone!

As Robecca fled, she saw a feral marine pattern vivillon. She chased after it without knowing where she was going. When she finally caught up to the vivillon, perched on a tree trunk, she realized that she had gotten lost in the forest. The little fennekin was scared, calling out to her parents, her parents’ friends and grandparents. She began to cry out when she didn’t get a response. It was twilight when she had chased the vivillon, but now it was pitch dark. She started to feel a fear crawling upon her back, so she found a spot to hide and she refused to come back out again. After a while of hearing the noises within the forest, such as bug pokemon chirping and other random noises, she heard crunching of twigs and leaves heading her way. Her first reaction was to hold her breath and remain still. That is until she saw lights flashing in her direction and heard someone calling out her name. Robecca knew those voices! Those voices belonged to the friends of her parents! The scared fennekin yelled to the voices, telling them where she was and that she wants her mother and father. One of her parents’ friends, a servine, found the scared fennekin. He called out to the others, saying that he found her. He made his way over to her side and tried his best to calm her down until her parents arrived. When her parents came over, Robecca quickly rushed over to her Dad, clung onto him when he hugged her. As they were returning back to camp, she refused to let go of her father for the remainder of the night.

Many years later, around the age of sixteen, she had evolved into a braixen while going through the tough years of middle school and high school. During middle school years, she made two friends, a nuzleaf boy named Robert and Yuki the bellossom. Robert would study with Robecca with their studies during the morning and lunchtime, while Yuki was in her homeroom class. After a year of hanging out at school, Robecca wanted to do something with Yuki and Robert. She asked if they wanted to come over to her place and watch a few movies and maybe make some crafts such as bracelets. Yuki was unsure and had to ask her parents if it was okay. Robert would have to ask permission from his mother before coming over, but he said he’ll try to be there. On the weekend, after getting permission from their parents, the three teenagers started having fun at Robecca’s place. They watched an action movie, some cartoons, made a few beaded necklaces and bracelets and had some snacks. They were laughing and having a blast. Robert suggested that they should do this again sometime, but next time they should come over to his place to play some video games. This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

As the middle school year was coming to a close, Robecca, Robert, and Yuki planned on spending time together during the summer; enjoying as much time as they could. As they were planning, Robecca got news that her parents were going to be away for three weeks on a small vacation to Kalos, to visit some relatives from her mom’s side of the family. In the meantime, she would be staying with her grandparents until they returned. That gives Robecca the opportunity to have her friends over, her grandfather would tell her friends stories of his youth and impress them with magic. Robecca showed both of her friends some magic tricks and even explained that she learned some of them from her grandfather. They’ve always wanted to know what kind of tricks Robecca’s grandpa knew, so this was the perfect opportunity!

Once middle school ended and summer began, her parents dropped her off at her grandparents’ place and left for Kalos. Robecca invited Robert and Yuki for sleepovers and asked Lucius to show them the tricks she learned from him. As summer was steadily going by, the three young teenagers went to the fairgrounds on the Fourth of July, making sure to stay close to each other so they won’t get lost. Upon reaching one of the game booths, they met a gijinka swinub named Kately, who was attempting to win some prizes at a Pellet Gun game booth. Kately’s a confident, outgoing ‘mon that appeared to be slightly older than the three friends and possibly in Sophomore to Junior year in High School. When Kately noticed them, she asked if they were planning on shooting some targets at this game booth. They confirmed her inquiry, saying that they were going to give it a try. Kately gave them some pointers on how to win some of the bigger prizes. Robert was the first to attempt to win some prizes as Kately started a conversation. Talking to her was enjoyable and as their conversation went on, they learned that she’s attending the high school that they will soon be joining. She told them that when they’re in, maybe they could hang out again sometime.

Summer flew by quickly with all the time spent with Robert and Yuki, Robecca realized that high school was steadily drawing closer. So for the last day of summer, before going to their first day of high school, they created friendship bracelets as a reminder that they’ll remain friends no matter what happens and no matter how tough high school will be, they’ll always be there to support each other.  When high school began, it was tough getting used to the new homerooms and classes, but Robecca kept her head in the game because her mother told her that she needed to get good grades if she wanted to get into college. Kately would tutor Robecca,  Robert, and Yuki before school hours and during lunch period to help them succeed in their schooling.

As the school year went by, the time Robecca spent with Robert became more frequent and she started to develop feelings for him. However, she didn't want to outright admit her feelings to him, not yet at least. She was afraid that if she told Robert how she felt, it would ruin their friendship. By the time sophomore year came, Robecca thought this was the perfect time to admit her feelings to Robert and ask her if she could be his girlfriend. However, before she could admit her affections, she saw Robert and Yuki were closer than she thought. She overheard Robert confess his feelings to Yuki; that he loved her for a while now and wanted things to be taken to the next step.

This broke Robecca’s heart, but she won’t let this ruin Yuki’s happiness, so Robecca thought that the best choice at that moment was to remain silent. Robecca remained quiet for a week when she was with Robert and Yuki, just looking over at them while finishing her homework. This made her three friends worry since Robecca was usually talkative around them. So during lunch, Kately and Yuki sat with Robecca and asked her what was wrong, as well as wondering why Robecca was so quiet all of a sudden. Robecca tried to tell them that it was nothing to worry about, but Yuki insisted that she should tell them since they are best friends. The braixen couldn’t contain her sadness, looking down and broke down crying as she told Yuki that she too loved Robert. However, when she saw that Robert was spending more time with Yuki and overheard Robert telling his friends that they were together, she didn’t want to ruin it and just silently supported Yuki. Robecca went on, saying that she’s sorry for being jealous and for being so quiet, making her and Kately worry. Kately wrapped her arm around Robecca and told her that she didn’t need to feel bad and that it’s good that she spoke up instead of keeping her feelings bottled up. Not only that, but it also showed that Robecca, despite feeling upset about her situation, is willing to support Yuki. Hearing Kately’s words made Robecca feel better, and Kately was right. She should’ve told Yuki how she felt instead of being quiet. It could’ve ruined not only her friendship with Yuki but also with Robert. Robecca requested a hug from both of them, to which they both complied and gave the braixen a big group hug.

After that experience, she continued to support Yuki and Robert and she wasn’t as quiet as before. They continued to hang out while also studying hard to get into college. During their free time, Robecca would continue to practice her magic tricks that her grandfather continued to teach her. Her skills continued to improve greatly. Two years passed by, Kately already graduated High School but still kept in contact with them while going through college, and Robecca graduated High School with A’s and B’s. After graduation, Robecca felt that it would do them all some good to meet up and do something one last time together before they part ways since they’re all going to different colleges. They met up at the fairgrounds in Nimbassa City, playing the games and going on the ferris wheel looking over the city. They reminisce all the memories they had together; watching movies together, playing video games, coming to the fairgrounds on the Fourth of July, and just being goofs while going through the struggles of middle and high school. Yuki told them that even though they’ll be far apart, they still have the friendship bracelets to remind them that they are always close. She jokingly inputs that they can always talk via skype anyway. They laughed as they exited the Ferris wheel, hugging one last time before parting ways.

Robecca’s mother was helping her find a college that would suit Robecca best. They found a community college that was in Castelia City that accepted anyone. Robecca decided to attend that college and take the train to the campus. There, she wanted to work on getting an Associates of Arts for performing, but she’s still unsure for now. While heading to one of her classes she overheard some noises coming from within one of rooms, the noises sounded like something from a video game. Along with video game noises were voices of two students arguing. By the sound of their tones, they were yelling at each other over what would work, what needs to be fixed, and different opinions about where the game would lead in the end. Robecca flattened her ears as she opened on the door, asking if everything’s alright and the arguing ceased. She heard the voice say something to the other, though it was kind of hard to hear with the game still going. “Pause the game, will you?” said one of the duo. She was greeted by a vulpix, but it wasn’t any sort of vulpix she ever saw. This vulpix had white fur and her hair and tails looked similar to clouds. The vulpix introduced herself as Vinnie and apologized for the noise. She and her friend, Maxwell, were developing a beat’em up game before Robecca arrived. Robecca peeked in and saw that Maxwell, a stufful, was looking over his notes, to which Robecca thought what she believes was about the game that Vinnie and Maxwell were making. Vinnie apologized once more to Robecca, and asked her if she wanted to see what they were developing. The braixen nodded and slowly they became mutuals.

One day during the middle of the first year, while talking to her mom on the phone to the library to study, her mother mentioned that she has been feeling a little bit sick lately. When Robecca asked what was wrong, out of concern, her mother simply replied that she went to the doctors and got a wonderful result. Upon hearing that Robecca was going to become a big sister soon and it made her nervous. She’s never had a sibling before, so she didn’t know how to be a good sister. Robecca almost dropped her cellphone over hearing the news, and after having a better grip on the phone she started telling her mother her concerns. How is she suppose to deal with this? Robecca’s voice was in a panic over the fact that she might not be a good big sister, and she was over thinking things to the point where her mother told her to calm down! Selena told Robecca that she needs to calm down and when she’s back home they’ll have a long talk.

After finishing college, getting her associates degree, she wondered what she wanted to do now. Robecca decided to go to the park to think about her future. While she was sitting on a bench, she spoke out loud, “What am I going to do? I want to follow my dreams to be a magician like my grandfather, but that’ll hardly bring in enough money nowadays! Should I just give it up and just get a regular job to support my family? Oh Arceus what am I going to do?” Grabbing some of her hair, Robecca groaned in frustration. Sighing in defeat, a strange creature popped out of the trashcan next to her.  “I know a place where your dream can come true!” This creature seemed to be a mimikyu, but something to her felt off.

Robecca screamed, not expecting to see someone pop out of a trashcan before! “Where in the distortion world did you come from?! W-What do you mean? I-Is that even true?”

“Indeed, what I say to you is true,” The mimikyu said as he was trying to get out of the trashcan. “You wish to be a magician, like your old man, correct? Well, there’s a place known as Apricot Valley where you can do whatever you wish and live life however you like!”

The braixen gave him a skeptical look. “A-Apricot Valley? I’ve never heard of-”

“That place? Yes, yes, it’s hard to get to, but...” The strange mimikyu said, pulling a ticket out of his sleeves. “You can get there with this. A one-way train ticket, and it has no expiration date. The train comes at midnight, so I hope you’re able to stay up that late~” He said, handing the braixen the ticket before jumping back into the trashcan.

“H-Hey wait!” The braixen yelled as she tried to go after him. Robecca looked in the trash can, but saw he was gone. ‘W-Where did he go?! He couldn’t have vanished… could he?’ Robecca thought, trying to wrap her head around what just happened. Sure, her grandfather has shown and taught her a plethora of tricks, but nothing like a vanishing act. She looked back at the ticket, remembering the words that the strange mimikyu said. “Apricot Valley? Is… what he said really true? I can follow my dream and pursue magic?”

Robecca held onto the ticket for several days, debating multiple times if she should or shouldn’t go to Apricot Valley. Robecca wasn’t sure if leaving her family, just to chase after her dream, felt right. She was worried; what would her parents think? What would happen if her little brother didn’t have anyone to play with while her parents worked? This kept on rushing through her head. Sometime later, while everyone was asleep, Robecca was just lying in bed, wondering what to do as she kept looking at the ticket. She looked at her clock, it was half an hour to midnight.

After about ten minutes thinking one last time she decided to try and take the train. After making up her mind she packed as much clothes and items she can into a backpack and a duffle bag. Robecca made a letter for her family to inform them where she was going, that she was sorry for suddenly leaving this late at night, and that she’ll try and call them as much as she could. She placed the letter on the fridge and hurried to the train station.

It wasn’t until 11:53 PM when she reached Gear Station. The braixen was out of breath from running towards the station, which was a couple of blocks from her house. She quickly walked over to one of ticket stations, seeing one of the graveyard shift employees, who looked bored out of their mind,. She bought her entrance ticket, using her own money, and sat down on one of the benches, waiting for the Apricot Train to arrive. After waiting for a few minutes, Robecca started to feel like she missed the train. Also, because of how late it was getting and with her running to the station, her eyes were starting to feel heavy with exhaustion.

Robecca slowly nodded off to sleep when she noticed the hanging clocks were at the stroke of midnight and heard the clacking of a train coming up to the station. When it stopped, the doors slid open and a luxray stepped out; he appeared to be the train conductor. He stood tall and called for anyone boarding for Apricot Valley. The braixen stood up, walked on over, and gave him the one-way ticket to Apricot Valley. He took it, gestured for her to step in, and she sat down on one of the many seats. After five minutes, the train started rolling to her new life in Apricot Valley

Other Information:
-Robecca has a little friendship bracelet around her tail from her friends in Middle School, High School and College. She wears it every day, and it has a little bell at the end.
-She has a guilty pleasure of listening to kawaii metal music. She finds it very catchy and she mostly listens to it when she's alone in her room.
-Robecca hardly curses. Living with your grandparents and parents in the same household really prevents one from cursing in front of family members.
-Her little brother was born during her time in college, and right now he's about three months old. After college, she tries to help take care of him and play with him the best she can. She's still nervous about being a big sister, but she is trying her best and is getting some help from her parents.
