Katarina “Kate” Cavalier

From Dexnet

Contents

Appearance

Kate is a very pretty woman, who is an average height but especially hippy and busty. She has pale skin and black hair that hangs a bit lower than her shoulders that she usually wears down. She has a number of tattoos all over her body, but the most visible is the pink flower that she has on her cheek. She also has a pair of Ekans that twist up her right arm, a Pidgey on her back and a ring of stars around one ankle.

She wears clothes that show off her body, and she isn't shy about flaunting her "assets". Tank-tops or halter tops, paired with shorts or tight pants is her usual fare. She adds clothing should the weather dictate the need to, but Kate will hold out as long as she can. While she may give off the vibe of being laid back, she does care a lot about her appearance.

Personality

Kate is an interesting individual, who despite possessing some intelligence prefers to simply sit back and relax every day. Some might call her lazy, and on several counts this wouldn't be an inaccurate description of her, but she is simply content with her life and is in no hurry to change what she finds to be near-perfection. She doesn't like to do things that she doesn't want to, and prefers to act in accordance with her wants and desires.

This isn't to say that she disregards others - she is highly affectionate to her boyfriend, and in general is a flirtatious and lively individual when she socializes. When alone at work she prefers to read magazines and chill, and when out on the town or at the beach she likes to live it up. She has a very live-in-the-moment philosophy about how to live her life and usually adheres to it pretty closely. While she doesn't go out of her way for most of her friends, she does do what she can for those few that she holds close to her heart.

When crossed, Kate has two reactions: the normal one is usually incited when she doesn't get her way, and she throws a fit and is generally huffy until the situation is remedied, either by getting her way or by some other form of appeasement. If it's a small inconvenience, it's likely that she'll forget about it before too long and she'll go back to normal. If she receives a deep and personal insult, she usually steam about it for a while or become depressed, depending on who said it or the content of what was said. Despite her flippant personality, she does have a deeper level that she doesn't want people to see.

History

Kate was born to a rich family, made richer as her father had made some smart investments in Silph Co and in return has reaped the benefits. Though her father spent a lot of time in Saffron, Kate was born and spent most of her early childhood in a summer home just outside of Pallet Town. Growing up she was something of a tomboy and enjoyed weeks of swimming and exploring and playing outside while being casually taught by a private tutor. However, as she grew older her parents put more pressure on her to grow up and become part of the greater Cavalier family, most of which lived in the capitol.

Thus, at the age of 11, Kate moved to Saffron to finish up her schooling in a fancy private school and then start her Pokémon journey. She picked a Charmander as her starter and then set out, happy to get away from her family (which she found to be suffocating after spending so much time away from most of them). However, she found that she didn't really like traipsing around in the outdoors when there was no fancy house to go home to when it got cold or when it rained and she was quick to return to Saffron after only a year on the road. It was a bittersweet return - the creature comforts of home were a nice change from constant camping, but her family hadn't changed a bit since she left. Her aunts and uncles and cousins and extended lines all lived in the same urban estate, and most of them were greedy or ignorant, or just plain annoying.

Kate released most of the Pokémon that she caught on her journey (which honestly wasn't much) keeping only her starter (who hadn't even evolved) who became her pet more than anything. She once again resumed school and graduated when she was 18. During that time her grandfather died, and since her father was now the patriarch of the family he assumed his father's money on top of the tons that he had made with his investments in Silph. Intent on grooming his daughter to follow in his footsteps if she wasn't going to be a trainer, he instead instructed her to go to college and further her education.

Happy to oblige (if only to find an excuse to live comfortably but far away from Saffron), Kate applied to and was accepted by Celadon University. She entered for an accounting degree, but quickly found that it was a wholly uninteresting subject to her and switched to business management, and then to economics, and so on and so forth. She began her "wild phase" in this time, and it is when she got most of her tattoos. During her sophomore year, at a party, she met a nice guy named Ambrose and after some pursuit the two began dating. She did not, however, tell him about her family or its connections.

The following year, however, he abruptly said that he had to drop out of school and return home to take care of his father's shop (located in Fuchsia City). Kate took the opportunity to also drop out of school and run off with her boyfriend to a place where she could enjoy Pokémon and nature (due to the Safari Zone and the Zoo), while still being comfortable and away from her family and their pressures of doing well in school and the like. She is currently enjoying the life of mooching off of Ambrose's shop (while arguably helping him by being... some kind of clerk) and not having to talk to anyone she doesn't want to.

Her family, however, sees it a bit differently. While she informed them of her plan to leave to an undisclosed location where she would be safe but alone, her father is still determined to drag her back to Saffron. Most of her extended relations, however, prefer her to be as far away as possible...

Pokémon

Chaz

  • Type: Charmander
  • How long owned: 10 years
  • Other: Chaz was Kate's starter, who throughout their entire Pokémon journey never really felt like evolving or doing much of anything. Still, he was her most loyal Pokémon and due to his attitude Kate was convinced he wouldn't make it in the wild. He enjoys the lavishness of "civilized living" and doesn't do much except sleep and eat. He's kinda fat for a Charmander and doesn't like Ambrose at all. He doesn't normally stay in a Pokéball, though he has one.

Brié

  • Type: Loppuny
  • How long owned: 3 years
  • Other: Using some left over money from the allowances that her family would give her, combined with money that she was able to get from Ambrose, Kate imported a Buneary from Sinnoh after she saw a picture of one. The two got along very well, and eventually Brié became happy enough to evolve. Brié shares a lot of Kate's personality and the two are currently training to one day compete in beauty contests. She doesn't normally stay in a Pokéball, though she has one.
