<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Name:</span>Althea Hawthorn<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/jMlCWlF.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Appearance:</span>The first thing most note about Althea's appearance is that she quite clearly doesn't care too much about it. Her hair might start the day off nicely brushed and neatly tied back, but it also seems to only need five minutes to go completely wild on her and everyone in the general vicinity. Her clothing tends towards various colours of jeans and simple, usually white tops, with the only recurring element being the large - clearly a couple of sizes too large for her - white coat that she never really seems to be without, regardless of the weather or time of day. Standing at only 5'4 she is definitely on the smaller side of things, but doesn't seem to let this get her down.<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Age:</span>24<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Sexuality:</span>Bisexual (Lesbian leaning)<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Region of origin:</span>Kanto<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Occupation:</span>Pokémon Researcher<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Pokémon:</span>Kangaskhan (Brigid), Ekans (Lamia)<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Personality:</span>Althea doesn't really seem to care too much about most things, but when it comes to discovering something new (or seeing it/hearing it/poking it until it does something interesting) then she turns almost obsessive. Studying pokemon is far more than just a job for her and she'd continue to make her observations even if it meant sleeping in a bush for a week. Which, in the past, it has. Usually, she tends to be quite easygoing and relaxed, although she does get<em> very</em>protective of the two young pokemon with her.<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 16pt;">Bio:</span>Althea was going to be a pokemon trainer, originally, but then someone had to show the girl material on the pokemon that new trainers would commonly encounter. And she got interested. So interested that she actually forgot to go get her pokemon, in favour of finding everything that was already written about pokemon, pestering the local scientists with questions and theories, and then she abruptly realised she'd spent the last four years doing that.<br/>So, she shrugged and settled down to do some serious observation and research.<br/>A week-long trip into the Kanto Safari Zone when she turned twenty turned into four years basically living in there, only emerging when she heard about Arcaia.<br/>A young Kangaskhan had imprinted on her and an even younger Ekans had likewise bonded with her during her stay in the Safari Zone and, not willing to leave her<del>childr- </del>her pokemon behind, she made sure that she would be able to bring them with her.<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/qhaKUWB.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/4e/115Kangaskhan.png/250px-115Kangaskhan.png)</div><div class="floatright">(https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/fa/023Ekans.png/250px-023Ekans.png)</div>
