TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy.

When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me?

TO OLDER ME,
00.00
Dear Older Me, [break][break]
I think this is the second time I'm writing to you.. Yeah, it's the second time. Uhm.. Right now, I'm about.. Eight. Is it weird for me to record my age? But if I don't, then you might not know how old you were when you wrote this. So where do I start..? This morning, I didn't eat breakfast. I was getting some rice for myself but.. Mom kind of found me downstairs getting some food. She looked really mad at me, then she started yelling about how I always ate so much. She said that I was being selfish by taking all the food, then she.. Said that I was spoiling it. She said that I was spoiling the food. And well.. I was staying quiet. She kept on yelling and yelling, then I told her that I needed to eat. Only because.. I haven't eaten in two days. Mommy wouldn't let me eat, because she told me that the others are hungry and I can't go hogging the food. But.. Now I'm really hungry. When I told her that, she ended up.. Slapping me. Then she took my bowl and.. She.. Threw it into the trashcan. She threw it into the trash and told me to eat from there. Well.. I don't really.. Have anything else to eat. Mom got rid of the rest of the rice because she said I contaminated it so.. Erk..[break][break]
I know it's not clean and it's disgusting, but I was really, really hungry. So when mom wasn't looking, I tried to scrap together the things from the trash to eat them. It.. Didn't taste too bad, if you work your way through the smell. On the bright side, I didn't starve, right? Hehe.. Yeah. I should be happy that I have food to eat. Erk.. Even though I'm still a bit hungry. There wasn't much I could eat because most of it was lost in the trash but.. Yeah. It's enough to help me get through the day. So.. Yeah. Breakfast wasn't all too bad. It.. It was better than having to eat off the ground, at least. It's better than yesterday. I could actually use my hands~..[break][break]
...[break][break]
This is.. Normal, right? My family tells me that this is how gijinka are supposed to be treated, but the other gijinka at my school are.. Usually treated really well by their family. When I asked my mom, she told me that this was because their parents were gijinkas. Erm.. Is this.. How people treat other races? Mom told me that this was okay but.. I don't.. I don't think this is okay..? I feel sad and.. It really, really hurts me, but I don't know if this is bad or not. [break][break]
Erm.. What else? During school, some kids were picking on me again. It wasn't as bad today, though, so that's good. I only have a few bruises and.. My bag is all soggy because they threw it into a fountain, but that's alright. After all, they said that they're only playing. And.. They kept pulling at my ears and tail afterwords, but again. They said that they were just playing so.. I guess that's alright. It's harmless, even if it hurts a little bit. Hehe~..[break][break]
Anyways.. It's late now. I.. I should go downstairs and get dinner. Mom and everyone else is asleep, so maybe I'll be able to get something small to eat. I hope they don't wake up..

"No, I think it's--" Cute. A flower shop was quaint, quiet. It was a pleasant area where she could usually find the plants that she needed. Some flowers were known for their aroma, while some were more notable for their meaning in flower language. Once again, the young woman offers a petite and small smile. Her body begins to lean back into the chair, supporting her body to stay upwards while humming to herself in a rare, casual manner. "It's a pleasant name, I think." Bright, amber eyes lift from the surface of the table to make eye contact with the man. "... Would you mind if I stopped by on occasions?" Her voice is quiet and meek, but it's laced with curious intent. She's always been fond of flora. She's always been attracted to their silent beauty above all. However she lowers her gaze shortly afterwords, trying to ponder over her words. "That is.. If you wouldn't mind my company?" The woman tilts her head slightly. With that, she lowers her hands to her lap. [break][break]
And with that, Vivian once again goes quiet. However this time, it was less in awkwardness and more to listen to his own musings. Mmn.. The thought about having children in the future was, admittedly, something that had crossed her mind when she was a child. Meet someone, fall in love and all that wonderful stuff. Truthfully, as a child, she thought that she too would be lucky enough to find someone. But as the days pass, she thinks to herself and can't exactly think it to be the truth. Her mind wanders a tad bit, before the image of a young man pops into mind. With that, the usual, near blank expression flushes that tiniest bit. Tiniest bit, but she quickly tries to brush it off before resuming to listen to his words. "... Mmn. There's not need to rush. But.." Vivian trails off the slightest bit, her eyes moving upwards to lock her gaze. "Do you happen to have someone in mind? You.. Don't seem to be the type of person to regularly attend these blind dates." [break][break]
And to be fair, she wasn't, either. But hey, here she was. [break][break]
She quietly hums as the image of Hoenn pops up into her mind. From what she's learned in school, Hoenn was a region where the vast majority was on water. you'd need Surf to get to a lot of places, but she could only imagine how cool the weather was in that region. She could only imagine just how much more nature there was in the port Region, which was the complete opposite in regards to the bustling Kalos she was so accustomed to. With that, the woman lowers her hands and has them rest in her lap. Fingers begin to fidget between the other, as though fumbling with words to formulate an answer. "... Kalos. I was born and raised in the Kalos Region." Her eyes turn up to the petite Swablu on her date, giving it a small smile. [break][break]
However as she was in that blissful peace, she hears the sudden click of her pokeball while a petite pokemon pulls themselves out. A Cinccino smiles brightly while waving her arms, upwards to the trainer "Ah.. Dianthus. It's rude to--" And then the Cincinno waddles on over to Sasha, gently pulling up at his pants with that cheerful smile on her face. "... Suddenly pop out in the middle of the conversation.." [break][break]
And in that moment, Vivian had a subtly disappointed frown pulling at her lips. "I'm.. Sorry about that. Dianthus is.. Significantly more keen on meeting new people."

vi's profile
She an awkward bun, doesn't really look for relationships. Hell, she'd sooner hide herself in her room and do her own thing. Work and more work, although she does have a little sister who she absolutely adores. Adores, but she's not good at communicating that. Anyways, she's not looking for a relationship but.. That doesn't mean that she wouldn't like one. In truth, Vivian really does want a meaningful relationship if anything; a long term one. One where she can turn to someone and just have someone to hug and that fun stuff. Honestly speaking; Vi doesn't care what they do or anything. She doesn't think that a person's circumstance should judge their character, which would explain why she's often oblivious to that stuff. [break][break]
That being said, she's currently.. In a relationship, but at the same time not? The long story short is she has a crush on a coworker, and she's liked him for like, years on end. Unfortunately she doesn't know he's using her as a side. Maybe she has an idea at this point with how he occasionally sleeps around with her without anything to follow up, but he's ultimately using her dangerously low self-esteem to lead her on. Yeah, not a good guy. But hey, she doesn't know that.

TO OLDER ME,
00.00
Uhm.. I don't exactly know how to write something like this. Admittedly, I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right. I.. I just don't know. I'm.. Hoping that I'm doing this right, though. Okay.. Urk.. My teacher asked me to write something to my older self, and that she would be reading them to mark for English. Although, I don't really.. Want her to read mine. It's probably because there are a lot of things I want to say to my older self, something that the teacher shouldn't know. Or.. Even if she did know, she'd probably give me that look before turning the other way. So.. I thought that maybe it would be best if I wrote this for myself. I'll write something else for class later, but for now, I just need something to confide to. Now.. With that being said, I guess I should start with this letter, right? Ahem.. [break][break]
Dear Older Me, [break][break]
You might not remember this bit, but I'm currently hiding out under the school's playground structure. School's over and I thankfully have this notebook.. Even if the papers are a little wrinkly because some of the other kids threw it into the fountain the other day.. But that's.. Alright, I guess. I can still write on it, I just had to leave it in the sun for a bit. Although my teachers get a little mad at me for handing in really crumpled and weird paper. Mmn.. I can't really do much about those.. Uhm.. But that's alright. I can still write. So.. I'm sorry, future me. You have to read my letter on such weird and old paper. I actually don't know if you'll keep and read this to begin with but.. I'll do my best. Yeah.. I'll do my best. [break][break]
I've already finished my homework.. Somehow. And some other kids' homework, too. Uhm.. I finished all that stuff, and then I.. Also finished up the chores my mom wanted me to do. I finished them this morning, so I luckily have a little bit of time before my mom gets mad about not being home on time. They're always telling me to to try running to the police, otherwise I'll be taken away to another family. I.. Wouldn't mind that, but they keep telling me that I'll be taken to another family in jail, and the people there would hurt me even more. It was a mercy that they're taking care of me and.. Everything. I don't.. Really understand. That's probably because I'm too young to understand right now, so I'm hoping that someday, when I'm older, I'll understand what I was talking about. Hah.. It's.. Too bad that I can't get letters from the future, right? Because.. That'd really, really help me. [break][break]
... I'm.. Not really okay. None of the teachers believe me when I say that I'm being bullied, and my family keeps telling me to suck it up. One time, my mom found some other kids picking on me and she got mad at me for getting in their way. One kid actually pushed me over and scolded me for hurting them, then my mom told me to apologize. I.. Didn't really know what to say or do, and I just.. Didn't want mom to get mad, so I apologized. My family looks back at me and.. I think--... No, I know they hate me. I know they hate me with a passion, but I just don't know why they do. They're always yelling at me for not doing something, or sometimes they're yelling at me for doing the thing they told me to do. It really, really confuses me. They.. Treat me really, really badly. Then when it comes to my cousins, they're always telling me that other gijinka kids are treated this way. Is that true? Should I trust their words? I'm.. assuming I should, because they're a bit older than I am.. The only one that doesn't say those things or anything is Claire, who tries to be nice to me. But I know auntie and uncle yell at her for doing that. [break][break]
... When Claire was becoming blind, the family started blaming it on me and the treatment got worse. They said I was cursed.. And that stuff. [break][break]
As if that wasn't enough, there have been people looking at me on the bus. Like.. Older guys looking at me on the bus. It.. Kind of scares me, so I usually stay by the front of the bus in case I wanted to leave really quickly. That or I usually stayed seated in on the bus and.. When there were a lot of people leaving at once, I'd usually leave with them ad walk the rest of the way. Either that or.. I would stay there until the final stop and walk all the way back. It's been.. Really scary. Erm.. I hope things will be okay. Lets see.. What else is there..? Erk.. Well.. I haven't exactly been feeling well right now. [break][break]
I know my family hates me and all but.. I'm starting to think that I maybe deserve it. After all, I soiled their bloodline, right..? So I.. Probably do deserve it. It's because I'm a gijinka that they hate me, right? I've been used by guys, I've been hurt by girls. I've been hit by my mom and.. I've been cursed by the world. I don't know what I'm doing wrong-- Do you happen to know? The guys around me tug at my ears, laugh and prick my tail. There have been times they've dangled toys before my face, and before I know it I've.. Pounced into a ditch. There was this one time girls shoved bugs into my locker, and then there was this other time the boys grabbed a hose and sprayed me with it, saying that the kitty needed a bath. You.. Remember that, right, Future Me? Of course you do.. Because you probably do remember, and that means you're the only person who believes me. You're the only person who would know that it actually happened so.. This should be okay. After all, I.. Probably do deserve it. [break][break]
...[break][break]
I'm scared. [break][break]
Please.. Anyone.. Please help me. I'm--.. I'm scared.. I don't want to go to school anymore..! I don't want to go home, I don't want to go to school but I don't want to live on the streets either..! But.. Anywhere would be better than here. Anywhere would be better.. I want to leave. I don't care where else I go, I don't care what I have to do to get there. I just want to be anywhere.. Anywhere but here. It hurts. It.. It hurts so much! My arms and my legs keep throbbing.. They keep hurting.. And then they hurt more. When I go to school, the boys laugh at me, looking at the pictures they took and take each and every time! Then the girls.. The girls are always throwing things at me, snickering and laughing at me..! Then when someone actually.. Tries to become my friend.. They start bullying them and.. And I.. I-I lose the friend and.. Th-They hate me.. And.. I-I don't want them to hate me.. I don't want anyone to hate me.. I don't know what I did..! [break][break]

he, unfortunately, doesn't seem to know to speak to him.. Properly. Though he expresses his occupation as a florist, she can only offer a petite nod in understanding and acknowledgement. However.. Flowers. Mmn.. She might drop by there at some point, especially because she had a small interest towards them. Vivian can only listen quietly before humming to herself, though this time, this was more in interest. "... Erm." She starts. Her eyes dart a tad in attempts to formulate her thoughts, amber eyes avert their gaze before returning to lock eye contact with the male. "... Could you tell me the name of the store? I've been trying to find flower shops as of late." Mainly because she had her own interest in floral life - especially with how the majority of her pokemon retained the scientific names of flowers for nicknames. Admittedly however, her pokemon.. Probably didn't exactly appreciate it?
That being said, she hoped that she could get some sort of plants that'll let her show her students. Even if she was a history and philosophy teacher, that doesn't stop her from her knack towards biology and plant studies. A rare smile creeps up on her face as she's mulling it over. "As long as you're happy with your job." So she says with a slightly more.. Lively chime, if anything. He seemed polite enough, so.. It wouldn't kill to open up, yes? The woman maintains her light gaze along with the faint smile - up until it fades just as quickly as it made itself apparent. "... Mmn. My students are often chatty little ones but.. I do enjoy my time with them." The violet haired woman quietly muses. Though she does retain that near stoic demeanour and the almost indifferent expression, there's the gentle lightening in her own tension and.. Less than approachable vibe.
Shortly after their brief conversation and small talk, a waiter made hi way over with a small note pad and a beaming smile. Initially, she glances upwards to take a look to Sasha; perhaps he wanted to order first? Ah.. Scratch that. He was looking towards her, and she was observant enough to take that as a hint. Amber hues trail down to the surface of the menu, skimming the contents momentarily before turning her head to look to the man. "Ah.. Bubble tea and.. Croissants, please." Her voice lowered at the later request, perhaps out of subtle embarrassment. You see, the girl was from Kalos. The typical 'french' region that was all.. Fancy and bright and nice. Although she usually didn't like to be placed under the stereotype in general, especially since she hasn't had a croissant in.. Years, actually. If it were up to her, she'd probably ask if she could package some for her sister later.
After taking her order and waiting for Sasha to finish, she takes a deep breath in attempts to start a conversation. Hopefully.. He wouldn't mind? "May I ask what region you're from?" And though she's asking without hesitation, the silence and lowering of her voice is more than enough to show she's not.. Very confident her ability to start small talk.

oes she.. Know what she should be doing?
Perhaps not. Vivian quietly looked downwards to him, mulling over her own thoughts as she takes a deep sigh. "It's a pleasure." She responds. Her hand glides over to push against the chair across from him, pulling it outwards. After confirming his identity, the woman slowly nods her head with the ever-changing expression on her face. And with that, the woman reaches her hand across the table, more to gently grasp his hand in hers. With that, she tightens her grip to give a stronger, firmer shake. She just.. Hoped that she was doing this right. As she was thinking while approaching him and the cafe itself, the last thing she wanted was to be a bore. Granted.. That's what the majority of her previous, short-lived significant others seemed to complain about. That she was too.. Emotionless. Unexpressive, and then she was internally panicking because she didn't know how else she should react.
But this was just a blind date; even if it didn't end with sparks flying and chemistry boiling, it was never bad to meet more people. Hell, it actually got her out of her room if anything. Work-o-holic as she was, she couldn't deny that it was good to interact with people. That is.. Assuming they would.. Be willing to interact with her to begin with. Hence why Naomi thought that it would be a good idea to approach her and drag her out. While not her ideal circumstance, she did admit that it was pleasant to see another face; and by extension, it was even nicer to meet another gijinka. Especially with the discriminatory attitudes towards them. Erk.. It made her.. Feel less alone, so to say. Cruel as it was, it taught her that she wasn't the only one suffering from the dirty glare from humans, along with the unfair treatment - and to that, she was grateful.
In response to his observation, she could only offer a slight and simple nod of the head. "... Mmn. Naomi kept.. Pestering me that she found someone that I should meet, then she insisted that I wear.. This of all things." A quiet hum escapes her lips as she glances downwards to the skirt, gently beginning to fiddle with it between her fingers. "I agree, she isn't a bad person but.. I think bizarre would be a more appropriate word." And with that, she narrows her amber eyes to the side momentarily. It was in that moment where she nearly spaced off, but only because she.. Was trying to think of things to say. No, she wasn't good at talking to people. No, she wasn't good at communicating with others and no, she didn't know what she was supposed to do in a situation such as this. The woman could only quietly ponder before taking a deep breath.
Although she doesn't show or express it, she's relieved that she didn't leave him waiting for too long. It's always good to bond over a meal, even more so when they had something in between to just.. Take away from the awkward. That she would, inevitably, probably impose against the poor man. With that, the violet-hair woman reaches over to pluck the menu from his hand, giving a small nod of appreciation before turning it open. She briefly scans the images of their foods, first, before turning over to whatever lunch or meal they had to offer and-- ... Ah. They offered bubble tea. Call it a guilty pleasure of hers. Well.. There was that, and there wasn't anything that a bit of pastries couldn't fix; yet another guilty pleasure of hers. Taking her time to skim through the foods for a second time, the woman smiles softly from behind the menu before placing it back down gently.
Her feline ears perk up at his question, tail instinctively swaying behind as she registers his question. Mmn.. Her career? She.. Didn't think that she would be bringing her job into a discussion on a blind date of all things.. But to be fair, she's just about new to meeting people while on a date on the get go. Her lips part for a moment, trying to formulate her thoughts properly before adjusting her voice. "I work as a high school teacher." And it was a short answer, to the boot. Part of her felt bad though.. Because the odds are that she was.. Probably not going to be speaking even more. That being said, the woman slowly raises her gaze up to him, ears twitching for a brief moment as she takes a deep breath.
Compose yourself, Vivian.
"... And what do you do, if you don't mind me asking?"
... Was that a good way to respond? She.. Wasn't entirely sure. But hey, it was better than nothing.

he doesn't know what to think of this, nor does she know how exactly she should respond. A few days prior, Vivian had been marking and grading a couple of papers of her own for her class' recent test, along with a few projects and the like. Seeing them reminded her of how tiring high school was, however also seeing them talk and enjoy themselves admittedly made the young teacher envious of the younger students. There was very little time for her to talk to anyone - assuming she wanted to talk to someone back then to begin with. But it's okay. She was fine with this lifestyle; she was fine with being alone for the most part - especially with how she was already pretty attached to someone else in the end. She'd be fine, she told herself. She'd be fine, and she often tells her younger sister the same words.
Unfortunately, said sister thinks otherwise.
Which is why she was posed against such a conundrum. Her younger sister apparently made a new friend the other day; one of which was.. Certainly an interesting character. Frankly she.. Didn't quite know what to think of her. Rambunctious attitude, nearly obnoxious screaming and an overall too-lively-for-her-own-good attitude. The exact opposite of herself, which is why it nearly put her off first time around. The woman burst into her apartment with her sister, and the two of them dragged her out to do some sort of shopping. And though Vivian was wholeheartedly against it, it'd be a lie of her to say there were a few things she didn't want here and there. Unfortunately, frugal as she was, she chose not to buy anything and Naomi ended up buying her the clothing. So the guilt was there. The underlying, subtle guilt was making her stomach fill with butterflies. That being said, Naomi used that guilt tripping to convince her to wear a dress of all things to a blind date. A blind date; and she could barely believe it when she heard it.
But no matter her protests, the Fennekin Gijinka seemed more intent on bringing the Delcatty out in the day, even if she'd rather sleep throughout the majority. But seeing how she was already feeling bad.. She couldn't exactly turn down the date. Imagine her surprise when she finds out that the girl already set it all up without her consent or prior knowledge, and now she finds herself trying to scramble over to the cafe that was supposedly where her date was awaiting for her. "... I swear in the name of all things holy.." She starts with her tongue clicking the roof of her mouth, gradually quickening her pace of to the entrace of the cafe. She.. MIght as well get it over with. Hopefully they wouldn't be a bad person--.. N-Not that she doubted Naomi, or anything. Erk.. It was just.. She didn't want them to feel bad. Because.. Maybe they would get mad, and think that she was a waste of time and.. Well.. She knew how awkward she could be. That much was a fact; and frankly, it always made her feel guilt Now she's over here, praying that the guy wouldn't.. Hate her, or anything of the sort.
Only because she didn't want to be a waste of time.
So for the first time in.. Years, Vivian was actually wearing a skirt along with a blouse herself. She was wearing something less than formal, more casual without a care in the world. But even then, the two-toned woman could feel the breeze blow against her bare legs, which prompted her to slowly fiddle with her wavy hair. Though she was maintaining a fairly stoic expression, she, again, could feel the butterfree in her stomach. She slowly enters the cafe herself, glancing around and about within the actual establishment. Erk.. It didn't look like there was anyone in here that fit the description. According to Naomi, he was.. Fluffy. Fluffy wasn't exactly the best description she can go off, and she didn't think that she could find someone who was fluff--
.. A man with a swablu. She could practically see the fluff on him, and it's now where Naomi's words were actually making sense.
And for a moment, the woman's feline ears pin downwards, twitching the slightest bit was her tail smoothly sways behind her. There is the faint clicking of her heels, slowly approaching the table until she taps her nails against the surface in front of him. "... Excuse me?" She chirps up the slightest bit. Hopefully, she wasn't disturbing him. She.. Erk.. Again, she wouldn't want him to feel like he was wasting his time. But then.. Again, she didn't know how she should act. The composed woman's mind was drawing a blank; because she didn't know how to.. Even start. "Ahem.." She clears her throat, golden eyes turning to look upwards to the relaxed man. "My name is Vivian; Vivian Nguyen. I'm.. Assuming you're the man Naomi talked about?" And now she doesn't know what to say, nor does she know how to start. Out of pure instinct, the woman slowly begins to twirl around a lock of blonde hair between her fingers. ".. Did I keep you waiting for too long?"
❀ 000 words ❀ @sasha ❀ sorry for the late response :'D
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero; Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss
I want something just like this
Turn the other way, because Vivian is a dull woman. [break][break]
Thien Vy Nguyen is just your normal, everyday teacher who spends the majority of her day reading, working, or marking. She's that one teacher who really has no life, and that one teacher who literally lives under a rock. Her students view her as someone who's boring as all hell, and honestly, she does have to scold some people for falling asleep in the middle of her class. She's someone who will probably smack you on the back of the head with a rolled up paper if you're not paying attention to class, or she would call you out in the middle of her lesson if you fall asleep. She's just your average teacher; with no life outside of her career. That much is a fact; and it's that fact that.. Has probably stopped her from expecting much from her life. Vivian is certainly not approachable; she's far too quiet. Vivian is a quiet and gentle soul, who doesn't dare stand in the way of others when she can help it or when she knows she doesn't have the power to/in the position to. In the end, she's a reserved person. [break][break]
Vivian, in a nutshell, is someone who would rather keep to herself. It doesn't matter how much you try to talk to her; the odds of you getting more than a few words out of her are slim to none outside of her workplace. Even if you can somehow get something out of her, it's most likely not going to be much. As a result, she isn't exactly the most.. Social person to hang around. If anything, the people around her would get bored before she even opens her mouth. However, that's not to say that she's terrible at speaking to people when she does. Out of work or in work, the woman is very professional and polite, knowing when to mind her manners and when to speak up. She's self-regulated and generally organized, having the internal, personal qualities to make up for her lack of skill when interacting. That being said, she's quite self-sufficient. [break][break]
That being said, she's also very practical and logical, often times being capable of handling complex or otherwise vexing situations with relative ease. Her composure and ability to stay level-headed isn't something to doubt, especially when under pressure. That is.. This only really applies to work. She's a diligent young woman, who uses her time efficiently and ensures productivity above all else. She's probably one of the best working partners you could get, mainly because she does her fair share of the work and you can trust that she'll try her best to comply with whatever you're saying. She's a fairly patient person; enough to stay quiet and listen to you ramble on, and on, and on. You can mess up time and time again, and she'll forgive you for every single time. You can annoy her to the world's end, and she'll try her best not to snap back. Hell, even if or when she does, it'll be fairly subtle. [break][break]
But that's enough of her professional, quiet side. If there's something that few people know, is that she's actually very awkward and.. Pretty much of a dork when it comes to social interaction; especially when she's the one who's trying to start a conversation. Vivian doesn't know how to hold a conversation, and sometimes she ends up sputtering over her words and going quiet just so she doesn't humiliate herself even more. That being said, she's extremely apologetic to the point it can actually get annoying; hell, she'll apologize for apologizing so much. Assuming you can get her to start talking, however, people would find that under the seemingly cold and often misunderstood, cruel exterior, she's a gullible individual; alarmingly so. Though she's acutely aware of it and occasionally recognizes it, she's far too forgiving, and as a result, it makes her an easy target to manipulate. It doesn't matter how many times you lie to her; because in the end, she'll forgive you. Even if you don't ask for her forgiveness; she's foolish in that way. That being said, she's also a terrible liar herself; she's transparent. Vivian, though does try to lie on the few occasions, can't lie for the life of her. She'll start stuttering, avoiding eye contact, and nearly tremble when trying to fib her way out of anything; which never bodes well for her. [break][break]
Last thing to mention; that's how she is around strangers, then that's how she is around.. The closest thing she can get to friends. In terms of close relationships (family and very close friends), she's much more calm. She comes off as more assertive if anything; but unfortunately, that doesn't show when she's being pushed around. Most people would be able to pick up that she can be and will be sentimental, with hints of cynical here and there. Unfortunately, she's fully aware that people take advantage of her, and she's very unwilling to do anything against it; purely because she lacks a sense of self worth altogether. Regardless, she's faithful and as loyal as they come; humble and modest little one. [break][break]
... Purely because in her opinion, everyone's worth more than she is.
So I suppose we really were in love[break] Even if times were hard we were clinging from the start

Abilities
Normal typing; So she's weak to fighting attacks and aren't affected by ghost types. And Vice versa.
Delcatty ears on top of her head, inheriting an acute sense of hearing. However, it's also fairly sensitive so she's more prone to loud sounds.
Pretty much nocturnal; she's more active at night than she is in the day, and therefore really not a morning person.
Capable of using Attract and Sing, along with Protect and Hyper Voice.
Ability is cute charm; such that the opposite gender will usually feel some sort of pull or some sort of affection towards her on the emotional level if they come into contact with her.
[break][break]
Certain words were pierced through you
TW: Child Abuse[break][break]
Born to a racist family of humans as a result of a one-night-stand.
Never knew her father; he was a mystery to her. Mother refused an abortion, thinking that she was the daughter of her mother's current, human boyfriend.
Mother was devastated when she was born; being exposed for having an affair.
Both Vivian and her mother was shunned by her family, eventually being disowned and lived with an abusive mother.
Mother abused her from a young age, even when Vivian was only trying to be a good child.
Her mother could no longer take the shunning from her family, and eventually lashed her anger into hatred towards Vivian.
To the point where she went to her family, claiming that she was assaulted by a gijinka. She claimed that she was only taking care of Vivian out of pity, and outright told her own child that she hated her.
Vivian's mother was accepted into the family; along with Vivian. However, Vivian was forever shunned from her family and treated like an animal. Hell, the pokemon were treated better than she was.
She grew up thinking that she was at fault; for soiling the family blood.
[break][break]
It kept me waiting here to hear what's true
TW: Severe Bullying[break][break]
Eventually began attending a school; mainly comprised of humans
Bullied for being ai gijinka; her community was very much racist towards her
Often came home with bruises and injuries, only to have them attacked at home due to child abuse.
Developed severe depression and an even worse view of herself.
Temporarily turned into a selective mute, shutting off the majority of emotions for the sake of coping
[break][break]
And from your wound I saw a fluid flow
Three year time skip; over to her middle school years
Her family is still abusing her, and she still being harassed at school
One day however, she had rocks being thrown at her.
One rock happened to be a moonstone, prompting her for an early evolution
Unfortunately, she was still less than willing to fight back, and therefore rode it out.
[break][break]
To describe it right, I'd call it: "Our broken love"
Bullying and harassment continued until her high school years; but by then she was heavily, mentally scarred.
Was unable to receive any sort of counselling or the like.
At the age of 17, she was by then, studying to become a teacher. Was generally alone for the majority of her high school years.
There are few relationships she got herself into, however the majority were all broken up with time; or for one reason or another.
At 18, she gave up on relationships and chose to focus solely on her studies.
[break][break]
The lack of sympathy and tears I shed
At the age of 18, she met a student teacher who was working in her school for that last year. In his teacher College years.
She and the student teacher became increasingly close; even if he was just about three years older than her; he was one of the first people she's opened up to.
He was also the first and only person whom she has cried to. He is the first person she began to depend on.
And as a result? She fell in love with him.
[break][break]
And all the love we make; feels so dead
Upon graduating, she became a fellow student in teaching with him. She attended the same teacher's college as he did and they became even more close.
For the first time in forever, Vivian was actually beginning to open up and come off as normal.
However by the age of twenty, she was unaware that he was actually engaged.
That being said, she was used as a "side piece" for an affair.
But of course, she didn't know that. So she only complied to what he was saying and doing.
To the point where she became so dependant that she began to believe he was the only person she could trust.
[break][break]
And it describes us well, but do you care?
The abuse at her home became even more intense - and at the age of 22, she finally started going to work to make money and a living for herself.
She spent the first year as a teacher to make a living for herself in Kalos, working with her senior in the field.
Vivian by that point, could only talk to him. Her entire world revolved around him.
That being said, her family began to leech off her for money, even after she moved out; they started financially abusing her.
It was also around this time where she adopted a little girl on the streets; who took after her surname.
At 24 (from what she can remember), a girl from one of her classes committed suicide and attacked her senior when he was just trying to help.
In reality however, he assaulted the girl and killed her by pushing her out of the window - making it look like a suicide by picking a child that would have a reason for doing so.
Vivian is still clueless to this day.
[break][break]
"I'm still in love with you," really?
Moved over to Lyeant with her adoptive daughter/sister, Stephanie.
Mainly moved over as a result of her job as a teacher; and partially to follow the man she loves
Still unaware of the man's crimes and the fact that she's being used.
there is nothing left to take, but i still try to reach. try to swallow it all down, yet i can't seem to breathe. just a single pill of mine, nothing else would suffice - i take it in, now i'm alive. my phone is set on lock, and i don't really care. there's a tangle and a knot that i cannot repair. i'm a tragedy, i'm ugly, i'm trying to hide. i say "hello", then wave "goodbye". see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honestly. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see it run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i still refuse to believe.

see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honesty. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see is run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i can't remember - that very day, that very day changed me. happiness died like a light i carried. i'll sleep tonight and hope to finally leave a world which i don't believe, a life which i don't need, and then i'll finally be free.
PLOT IDEA #1 every day would be the same. nothing more, little change. if i cared, it would mean nothing: it's all such a pain. friendly bonds are so unneeded, i don't give a dang. a busy life is what i am. could it be that family was a way of escape? didn't know if it was right, so i threw them away. couldn't take it anymore, i had taken enough, so then i hide my need for love.[break][break]
PLOT IDEA #2 lay me right down, let me sleep, i'm restless. cover my eyes. when i'm up, i'll finally fade away, here, today. give me a reason: then i'll stay. if i could fly, if for only a moment, there wouldn't be such a need for casualty. i'm alone, and that is how it'll be.
