Holly Dusk

Miss Holly

Hailing from beneath the dark and leafy boughs of Eterna Forest in Sinnoh, Holly Dusk- or just 'Holly' as she prefers, is a friend to all Ghost and Psychic Types. Be careful of those wide amber eyes however- bloodshot and staring, and her tendency to stalk in the name of attaining friendship. Or power. Either or!

## History

Holly's mother and father- Ghost and Psychic type enthusiasts like her, instilled a nomad-like lifestyle in her from a young age. She inherited their affinity for these types from her parents, and these aspects are what spurred her to begin traveling the land in the pursuit of knowledge and power. An Eterna Forest native, she is used to dwelling in nature, but that does not mean she knows much about it or the act of survival.

Not much is known about Holly or her family, but that isn't because of any long held secrets or mysteries. When a family keeps to themselves and never settles down in a particular place, they are bound to be shrouded in mystery. The truth of the matter is that her family of psychics and telekinetics simply have a long history of training Ghost and Psychic Pokemon, and Holly is no exception. A telekinetic herself, Holly grew up using her otherworldly abilities as a crutch during her journeys exploring Sinnoh with her parents. Through this, she grew into a particular affinity for Ghost types, so much so that she spent all her time around them. Over time, Holly learned that growing up around Ghosts was actually intentional on her parents part. Holly's family tends to give birth to ridiculously strong Psychics- so strong that they are a danger to others. The Ghosts that her family raises act as energy siphons, to purposefully weaken this Psychic power.

Eventually this took drastic measures against her physical health- her telekinetic crutch not assisting in this matter, resulting in her being incredibly physically weak. Ghost Pokemon- while not inherently evil, tend to feed of the life energies of others. And now, at 19 years old, she is a shambling and fragile husk as most of her energy has been sapped from her body. She gladly gives this energy away, knowing that she can compensate with her abilities or other methods.

Still, she trucks on in the pursuit of power. Finally trusted enough to go out on her own without causing too much trouble, she set out to Kairos.

(And maybe her parents just wanted her to get some exercise.)

## Appearance

Waifish, sickly, and haunting. If a Ghost Pokemon were a person, this trainer would be it. Short, light, and fluffy hair. It is mostly blue in colour, but is notably going gray despite her young age. A vampy goth-esque dress, reminiscent of Morticia Addams, but shorter. The dress also has some bits and baubles that are reminiscent of a Chandelure. She wears blue stockings to match, and a set of good hiking boots with blue laces.

## Personality

Shy, but not timid. Not scared easily, and adores the spooky aspects of life. Despite having a gloomy demeanor, she is often always in a good mood and is generally friendly as a baseline. This friendliness can come off a little spooky, as she has clearly been more socialized by Ghosts than people. Has a girly side. Does not get angry easily.

## Ace Pokémon and Team

Holly does not currently battle, and thus does not have an ace. This will change eventually... but at the moment, she is enjoying exploring. Still, she has a team she is currently working with.

Holly's current team are comprised of:

* Shiver, a Lampent.
* Boogie, a Haunter.
* Terror, a Drifblim.
* ShaZAM!, an Alolan Pikachu.
* Kitty Pride, a female Meowstic.
* Magneto, a Bronzor.

**Shiver:** A lovely little Lampent that siphons Holly's lifeforce nigh constantly!

**Oogie and Boogie:** A pair of Haunters! Oogie is a quirky gal who loves to be silly and play around more than scare- she has the personality of a fluffy Normal type. Meanwhile, Boogie is completely terrified of everything and the world around him. Holly is very gentle on him, and has recently been raising Oogie to bring Boogie out of his shell. They are also quite close to each other- Holly wagers that one day, she might see eggs from the two.

**Terror:** A Drifblim that was traded to her, who has evolved into a Drifblim! How wonderful! Holly adores the mischief this Pokemon gets up too.

**Shazam:** A FREAK of a Pikachu she met during a strange Halloween encounter where she and others did a strange and mysterious transfiguring ritual that turned Mimikyu's into Alolan Pikachus.

**Kitty:** A Meowstic she has begun bonding with. Holly likes Kitty because she looks shellshocked constantly, just like her!

**Wilykat and Wilykit:** A pair of rambunctious Eevees that Holly plans to evolve into Espeons. They terrify Holly too her very core! These two Eevees adore Holly however, and think she is playing with them every time she gets scared of them. Their favourite games are Chase and Monster.

**Magneto:** A small but might Bronzor. Holly always loved Bronzor's as they reminded her of home, but now she has a special appreciation for them as a her new friend Silver introduced her to the game of Bronzor Frisbee.

## Friends

**Longo:** An interesting fella! Completely strange and terrifying, both qualities Holly admires greatly. She thinks Longo is a bit of a freak, in the most complimentary way. She looks up to him somewhat, and is interested enough in his strangeness to follow him around from behind corners and trees. You know, just in case.

**Audelle:** They haven't spoken often, but Holly has a morbid curiosity regarding Audelle's attitude. She wants to experience and send her Shuppet to haunt Audelle. For scientific purposes, obviously.

**Camelia:** Holly regards Camelia much like a teacher. Not that she has learned much from Camelia due to not talking more than once, but it's the same vibe as seeing a teacher in highschool that you don't have a class with. Thinks she's cool enough! Likes her Espeon.

**Argent:** Spoke with him in passing, and was offered decent advice in regards to her Pikachu, Shazam! Holly respects Argent's work, and was thoroughly impressed by his riding skills in the fabled McRime's Incident.

## Goals

THE PURSUIT OF POWER! And to create the greatest Haunted House ever...
