## History

Baranya Rosman is the middle child of a semi-professional Pokémon trainer and an antiques dealer. While her older sister became an artist and her younger brother became a Pokémon Ranger, Baranya's adventuring streak led Baranya into the world of stunt choreography and acting. While in college, and for a sort time after, she found work in several action films, all of them as unnamed lackey characters.

While she had, naturally, helped take care of the family's Pokémon when she was younger, she was uninterested in training herself until she was an adult, when she was gifted an Egg that her mother had mysteriously found near her Gardevoir (because how else does finding Pokémon eggs work, right?). The Ralts that hatched from the egg was an exceptionally headstrong and determined type, much like Baranya herself. She named the newborn Eiji, and her (admittedly belated) Pokémon journey began.

Seeing potential in her new companion, Baranya became inspired to train Pokémon for stunt work. Seeking opportunity in the new frontiers of the Kairos Islands, Baranya and Eiji set sail for adventure abroad.

After a few weeks on the Islands, Baranya began to experience and cultivate a connection with the mystical power of Aura. She is essentially self-trained, and is still coming to grips with the ramifications of her powers.

## Appearance

Auburn hair, blue eyes. Athletic. When not in the field or on the stage, she tends to favor bell-bottom pants. There's no accounting for taste, one supposes.

When she expects a fight, Baranya wears a set of armor, shield, and sword whose designs evoke Gardevoir, Gallade, and Iron Valiant. She sometimes wears a variant of this armor during Cool contests, styling herself as **Aura Guardian Sernyte** (波導戦士サナイト; *Namishirube Senshi Sanaito;* lit. Wave-guiding Soldier Sernyte)

## Personality

Baranya is tomboyish and hot-blooded, and is prone to trying to solve problems with her fists. She possesses a strong sense of justice, and abhors senseless acts of cruelty, especially against Pokémon. She typically favors savory foods, but her favorite food is rhubarb.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

Baranya's starter and ace Pokémon is **Eiji**, her **Gallade**. Eiji is almost a mirror image of Baranya - a resolute and steadfast ally who is more than willing to rush headlong into battle to prove his worth. Eiji shares many of Baranya's interests, including a love of action movies. When Pulsing, his thoughts are respectful and carefully collected, and only run hot when he is angry or embarassed. He and Baranya often refer to each other simply as "partner", and of Baranya's Aura Pulsers, he is the only one who calls her by her name.

Baranya's **Wooper, Masato**, has taken Eiji's place as the 'cute mascot' of Baranya's traveling party. While he is usually calm during battle, he is a fun-loving rapscallion at heart, and enjoys being trouble, as do most Wooper. He is firmly against evolving; Baranya respects this choice, and has developed an alternate training regimen for Masato, which includes (among other things) the development of two 'forbidden techniques'.

Her **Lucario, Kruger,** is Baranya's mentor in aura manipulation. Though capable of Aura pulsing, Kruger does not enjoy talking to humans unless it is completely unavoidable - he does not fully trust those who cannot read Auras. Kruger never refers to Baranya by name, only ever calling her "my student".

Her **Ribombee, Hana**, on the other hand, is exceptionally gregarious, but rarely has anything of note to say. She sees Baranya as the leader of her hive, and refers to her as "the Queen". She is very fond of Baranya's collection of *jidai geki* shows, and exhibits the mannerisms of a retainer to a feudal *daimyo*.

Her **Gardevoir, Hina**, is as stereotypical a Gardevoir as they come - she is not as introverted as Kruger, nor as grating as Hana. Her preferred term for Baranya is "the Lady", and addresses her in the manner a knight would to their liege.

Her **Palafin, Hayato**, loves to swim and enjoys playing with Baranya's other Water-type Pokémon, especially Masato and Koji. Of Baranya's Aura Pulsers, he is the least serious and the most willing to initiate conversations with humans that aren't Baranya. Hayato exclusively refers to Baranya as "Sernyte", the name of her alter-ego.

Her **Armarouge, Carter**, has a casual and aloof demeanor. His preferred name for Baranya is "Spotter"; as in, for a sniper.

Her **Dragonite, Haruto,** is an energetic and boiserous bruiser who never backs away from a fight - or from helping someone in need. He refers to Baranya simply as "Boss".

The remainder of her team is a rotating selection of Pokémon that help complement whatever situation Baranya might be up against, or that best complement whatever strategy she may wish to employ. Baranya is known to have an ace team that includes Eiji, Masato, Carter, Haruto, **Takeshi (Lokix)**, and **Makoto (Gengar)**.

Since settling into life on the Islands, Baranya has taken it upon herself to help as many Pokémon as possible become their strongest self. To this end, while she naturally gravitates towards Fighting-types thanks to her connection with Aura, Baranya trains a wide variety of Pokémon, and is actively interested in completing the Pokédex.

## Friends

Baranya has a smattering of friends in the Islands, which include Apple, Idiseer, Nathan, and The Great Lediman. She considers Nathan to be her rival.

## Foes

While she despises the actions of Team Hoop, Baranya has no specific unfriendly rivals or other named enemies.

## Goals

Baranya's original aspiration was to found her own stunt actor's guild, and to develop a group of Pokèmon that can elevate the art form, no matter the medium. However, after some time on the Kairos Islands, Baranya's goal became to understand and master her power over Aura. To this end, she is seeking out Pokémon with (or that evolve into Pokémon with) the Aura Reader capability, hoping that they might act as her mentors.

In a more general sense, Baranya's current task is to catalog all known Pokémon species in her Pokédex. She likes competing in Pokemon Contests, especially Cool Contests. After months of consideration, Baranya is eager to begin the Kairos League Challenge, and is on the lookout for a sponsor.

## Kairos Action Enterprise

The culmination of Baranya's dreams to train Pokémon as stunt actors, **Kairos Action Enterprise** is, currently, little more that Baranya's house on Hima Island, but she hopes to expand her activities on the surrounding land to include training facilities for humans and Pokémon, including gym facilities, battle and Contest halls, and Pokémon Daycare services. ~~And maybe some secret research on the side~~
