Shauntal

Shauntal is the first member of Unova's Elite Four who specializes in using -type Pokémon.
==Appearance==
Shauntal is a slim young girl. She has straight plum-purple hair that is short and flat to her head with a fringe, pale skin and dark brown eyes. Her outfit is a short plum-purple dress that has a low neck and a black ruffle decor on the skirt, and two black buttons, with black opaque tights and peachy-pink Mary Jane shoes that have a small heel. She wears an additional large black collar to her outfit that resembles the head of a cat, long black gloves, and large round glasses slightly covered by her hair. Her books and pens are pink.
==Personality==
Rather bookish, Shauntal loves to write stories. She is fascinated with her -type Pokémon, often using them as the muse of inspiration to write, as well as the trainers that she battles. Shauntal sometimes carries around with her a pen and a blank book so that way she could write the next chapter of her story. She gets her stories based on her Pokémon team.
