<sup>Name: Raimu Haru

Nickname: Ducky, Yellow

Age: Twelve years.

Gender: Female.

Occupation: Trainer.

Appearance: Ducky has very straight, sunny hair, that extends down to her shoulder blades, seeming to stretch out with split ends in the front. She has very fluffy bangs that cover only her forehead; she believes if she lets them fall into her eyes like all the 'cool' kids do, she will destory her eyesight. It is somewhat curly in the back, even though her bangs are straight. When the sunlight hits her hair, it tends to give the extra frizz on her hair a light, golden glow. Her eyes are a chocolate brown color, and are passionate, alert, and overall full of life. They are always wide with happiness, but will dull slightly when Ducky becomes depressed or disappointed. Her ears are rather large for her age. They are the size of an adult's ear, thus earning her the nickname 'Dumbo' throughout elementary school. Ducky has pale skin, due to the fact that she does not go outside much. Her earlobes are quite small, and have never had earrings in them. Ducky usually wears a yellow-ish beige hat, that looks somewhat like a sunflower hat. She will occasionally wear glasses, but only to read, since she cannot see things clearly up close.

Her neck is long, and she has enough room on her shoulders to support three heads (if she had three heads, that is!). Her chest is broad, however, there is a downside to her body; she barely has any breasts. However, Ducky considers it a blessing, since this makes her an uncommon target for sexual harassment. Despite her small breasts, she does have a very broad chest, which gives her plenty of room for her large lungs to expand after a good run. She has a slim figure, with very sharp, and boney hips, that people sometimes mistake as love handles. On her upper body, she wears all sorts of simple tops, even though her most-worn is a yellow and black top, with a small green bow on the front.

Ducky is always seen wearing one thing; blue jeans. Usually they are dark blue, almost similar to the color of the sky, but she will sometimes decide to add a little variety to her life and wear sky colored jeans. Her shoes are a plain white with black checkers on the top of the foot and have no laces, button, or velcro. They simply slip on. A few days ago, Ducky decided to add small jingle bells to her shoes. A stupid idea while hiding, but she seems too inexperienced to realize this. so, the girl has a small chime following her wherever she walks. Literally.

Personality: Ducky has a rather bubbly personality, especially around others. She reacts happily around others, and is one of those people who can see the good in everyone. She enjoys company; hell, she thrives over it. Without people, or her Pokémon keeping her company back when she was in Sinnoh, she would be lost. She has friends, of course, but none of them are true friends she could trsut with secrets. She is extremely good at making friends though, due to her submissive and loving personality. She can easily trust others, if they show even a glimpse of caring. She judges people naturally based on what they wear, since it's only human nature. For example, she will automatically assume that someone who is out of style with messy hair and red eyes must be somewhat depressed, and insecure. it doesn't matter who the person is, though, for she works better with others when it comes to reaching any goal. She almost never stops talking, hell, sometimes she rambles. she is defineately not a quiet child, but she is shy while meeting new people.

She will at first attempt to make small conversations, until she can venture deeper into the person to see what they're like. She is very easy to approach, and even easier to talk to, since she has so many stories and emotions that she can talk about. She is patient, and normally only loses her temper if she sees someone, no matter if they're from Team Diamond or not, mistreating, abusing, or neglecting a pokemon, since she believes that they are friends, not tools. This is also why she is a vegetarian.

Ducky is very open-minded. She is willing to accept new places, changes, and ideas, but that doesn't mean she'll agree and follow up with what may happen. While in this kind of weird state of mind, she will often use her endless amounts of imagination. She creates characters, pokemon, and even designs for clothing and rubber ducks in her mind, or she will sketch whenever paper is available. Everyone is guilty of humming little tunes, and Ducky is no different. But most of the time, it's a song she has made up on her own. One flaw she has is that she cannot see a big picture; she can only focus on one thing at a time, and then wraps her mind around the subject for days. She is kind-hearted, though, and often feels extremely bad for saying 'no' to anyone's request, which often makes her overloaded with work. She is selfless, unless it is something she heavily wants. She is also caught up-to-date on fashion, but only wears simple clothes. Ducky has no real accessories, besides a fishing pole she carries around with her. She thinks that wearing good clothes make people happy, and she has proved this right with herself many times.

Ducky is not an extremely funny person; most of the time, she strays away from jokes, unless someone else is telling them. She will make funny little side comments to what a person says, but nothing extreme, such as the famous, "That's what she said!" simply because she doesn't understand what it means. She likes to play jokes on people though, and is often full of laughter and giggles. When it is time to be serious, though, she is respectful, and refers to everyone as Mr. or Mrs., but she asks before now, after figuring out that some people don't like it. Ducky is bad with authority, and usually respects and submits to those bigger than her, but if they do anything to harm a pokemon, she will challenge them, and then flee. Due to this, she has seen many new places. The girl simply adores exploring and finding new things and pokemon, but since she has hung around the farm with only a few Pokémon for most of her life, she is nearly useless in battle without knowing what attacks Pokémon know and what types are effective against other types. She doesn't let this bring her down, though, since she loves being surprised.

Ducky is a philosopher. She always thinks of people, the world, and how people say things and how these cause emotions. She thinks about how emotions effect others, and usually gets her brain all jumbled up and full of pain. She is extremely curious, and isn't afraid to let this get the best of her, due to a quote she one heard, "If curiosity killed the cat, I can only say that the cat did not die in vain." She is, however, extremely emotional. She loves attention, and is super clingy, and Ducky defineately isn't afraid to cry in public. She can become very excited as well, and will often sing and run around to get it out. She easily becomes emotionally involved with things, such as people and pokemon, and especially her rubber ducks. She uses the good old "follow your heart" saying to guide her in life.

History: Ducky was, as mentioned above, born in Hearthrome City. Despite this, she feels and belives that Solaceon Town is her true home, since this is where she grew up. Ducky had a simple life, and before she began travelling around the region to collect rubber ducks, she worked as a simple farmer. Her parents bought acres upon acres of land and let Ducky roam free with the Pokémon that they had in the pens. She often collected and hatched eggs, groomed the pokemon, and eventually learned what sort of food was best for them. A Pokémon breeder seems to match up with all of these, so for a while, she considered herself one.

Ducky's parents finally bought a television when she was ten, and after figuring out how to work it, she became hooked on watching all sorts of Pokémon battles and contests. She learned about Pokémon that she never even knew existed, and finally put her foot down. Without a pokemon, due to the fact that they had no electric types available, she decided to save up her allowance for two years to afford a boat ticket. She arrived in the Lanorae Region after five days on the boat, and now seeks her first official electric Pokémon.</sup>

Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your love
Out on the farm we'll be swimmin' with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your love
