## Biography

### Appearance

Charm is an anthropomorphic yellow and tan-colored *Meowth*. He resembles a cat, and the Maneki-neko, a mythical Japanese creature. Each side of his face is a different color, the left side is a yellow color and the right side is a tan color. There's spots on each of his cheeks in a pattern-like manner, the spot on the yellow side of his face is a tan color whilst the spot on the tan side is a yellow color. Atop his head are two dark blue triangular-shaped ears. As similar to his cheeks the inner ear colors are swapped colors when in comparison to his double-colored face. The left inner ear is a tan color and the right inner ear is of course, yellow. In between the two ears is a golden koban coin with two thin whiskers atop his head, the left being tan and the right being yellow. There's also four whiskers on his face, two on each side, the whiskers having stripes on them.

His eye pupils are thin pie-shaped eyes with the upper being blue and the lower being black. Charm, like most Pokémon characters lacks a visible nose, two fangs extend from inside his mouth. The rest of his body however is a tan color, his belly is yellow, and his shoulders, hands, legs and feet are all yellow. The length of his feet is longer compared to others'. He has a long tail which ends in a tightly curled shape similar to Chatters the Rattata's tail. He wears a yellow crown with the koban coins in the center of the crown and on the top of it. Wrapped around his neck is a red collar, hanging from which are golden koban coins similar to the one of his forehead and on the crown, he also wears red bracelets too. Sometimes, he's seen walking on all fours, this is more common when he's running or climbing up a tree.

### Pokédex Entry (Character Bio)

Charm's power/type is **Normal**. He loves shiny objects such as coins as he goes around searching for shiny objects to collect and return it to his treasure chest of shiny objects. Sometimes Charm actually steals from others, however, he tricks them first, taking their attention of their shiny object so he can quickly snatch it and take off. With this information, it's presumed that the crown he wears is obviously stolen. Charm seems to be more interested in coins than any other object, despite his occasional greed he doesn't at all like cash and dollars, but hard shiny coins instead. His interest and obsession with shiny objects could actually lead to trouble (as always) as he may steal a certain shiny object which has importance to for an example, a building. If he takes an object of a building just because it's shiny it could possibly lead to the chance of the entire building collapsing, killing the ones inside and near it.

Sometimes he shares his coins with other characters. And his coins can actually bring good luck to others, meaning everything good goes for them and they even have a higher chance of surviving an episode and not dying in a terrible and brutal manner. However they must do a task for Charm in order to collect his coins, these mainly just involve collecting objects or cleaning his shiny objects. During a battle, he often uses his signature move *Payday* where he seems to create a bunch of coins similar to the ones all over his body out of thin air, then he tosses them at his opponent. This usually results in the coins going straight through their body and destroying their bones. He's depicted to have a very sassy personality and often jokes around and doesn't take things very seriously. Leading to of course more trouble. Sometimes he chases Chatters the Rattata around due to him being a rat-like Pokémon and Charm being a cat-like Pokémon. If the charm on his head even has a single stain on it he'd go insane and would attempt to clean it, often killing or injuring others during his rampage. It's unknown how insane he'd become if he lost his charm.
