Brielle Baker

Cute Enthusiast

Brielle Baker is one of the graduate students of the Aquacorde City Pokémon Academy and a main character of Z: A Kalos Journey. She is written by Kitty.

## Physical Appearance

Brielle stands at
5'6" with waist-length, hazel brown wavy hair and bright blue eyes that
match her peachy skin tone. Interesting things to note about Brielle, apart
from not having the best bust size out there, is her slightly red patches on
her arms and legs and some parts of her neck and back that makes her look like
she has some weird allergic reaction to everything when in fact, it's just a
birthmark. It’s not exactly visible from far away, only when up close and
already far in her personal space.

Brielle's main
attire consists of loose fitting, comfortable clothes paired with skirts and
shoes. Her current favourite are faded v-neck dresses with a loose brown jacket
cardigan hybrid with matching boat shoes. During the contest at Parfum Palace,
Brie wore a velvety fuchsia coloured long gown with a small, blue gem at the
center that matched her eyes, courtesy of Pierre.

## Background

Born in Hearthome
city, Brielle was raised to be kind and accepting of everyone and everything.
(As everyone can see, the parenting didn’t turn out as well as they had hoped.)
Brielle’s mother was a senior helper at the Poffin house while her father was a
travelling businessman, always having to go out of town for work purposes. Back
at Hearthome, Brie was fond of staying either at the Amity Square or the
Contest Hall, as her parents were almost often busy, and at least there she
could interact with the Pokemon and passing trainers.

It was there
where she started developing her love for cute Pokemon, and contests.
Eventually, she started to volunteer in helping out the trainers, although she
spend a bit more time at the Contest Hall due to the extra perks of helping the
contestants style their Pokemon to their liking. Of course, this meant more
time spent with the gym leader and ex-contest star Fantina, who taught her that
every Pokemon has their own appeal, and everyone can be a star, no matter who
they are, or what their Pokemon may be.

Whenever Brie is
not at the Amity Square, she is at the Contest Hall. When she is not at those
two places, she would most likely be at home, as it would be a sign that her
brother has come to visit. There she learned to battle wisely, a skill she
often used in controlling her temper. This was the norm for Brielle until one day,
her father got a call from his higher ups that he was required to move to
Kalos, for his promotion. Seeing that the travels were getting farther away, the
family decided to move, to Brie’s disappointment.

There, she was
enrolled in the academy at Aquacorde town, and graduated with above average
marks, a hyperactive Goomy, and a dream to follow her idols in the contest
scene as Kalos’ first contest star.

## Personality

Brielle Baker is
what people would call, a cute bitch. While being kind enough to tolerate
people and their eccentricities, she’s very judgmental, and would likely snub
anyone if she doesn’t deem them cute. Because of that, people who don’t pass
her expectations find it hard to get along with her and her bitchy attitude. To
people that are cute, however, she is much nicer and her bitchy attitude turns
to a nearly complete 360, compliments and all. This also applies to Pokemon,
but lately she’s been more accepting of their quirks. Slowly but surely, she’s
seeing that people can be cute in their own way.

Brielle can
either be a great ally, or a really awful one. She is extremely observant, able
to notice even miniscule changes in anything. However, this only happens when
she is focused. The problem is, Brie is also easily distracted. Anything that
one can think would distract her, it would. It applies greatly to cute stuff,
like Pokemon plushies and all. She often combines her attitudes with her
rational sense of risk taking to know whether an action would be worth the
effort or not, as seen in Ambrette town where she willingly played with Nicky
to avoid risk of getting hit by even more volleyballs on the way back.

In battle, Brie’s
skill can be compared to that of an experienced trainer. While not being the
best, she can handle her own, even in situations. Her only limitation is her
lack of creative skill, as she was too entranced by other people’s creative talents
to develop her own. She tries to remedy that by asking for feedback, especially
if things went wrong on something that she worked hard on.

She still has a lot to
learn.

## Pokemon

### On Hand

> **Toffee** // Goomy F *with* Sap Sipper
>
>

> **Moveset:** Poison Tail, Bubble, Absorb, Protect, Dragon Breath ; **Held Item:** None
>
>

Toffee is Brie's starter Pokemon, received from Professor Sycamore upon graduating the academy. Being the youngest of the entire list of chosen starters, Toffee is very hyperactive, always bouncing around and finding the positives in every situation, treating everyone as her friend--or potential friend-to-be's. Because of this, Toffee has slight problems with distinguishing friend from foe, and would "attack" aimlessly without adult supervision. As she is a Goomy, Toffee needs to be moistened every now and then, prompting Brie to buy her a spray bottle for Toffee's moisturizing sessions.

> **Mascarpone (Mascar)** // Cottonee M *with* Prankster
>
>

> **Moveset:** Fairy Wind, Encore, Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Cotton Spore, Razor Leaf ; **Held Item:** Miracle Seed
>
>

Mascar was obtained not long after Brie left on her journey. The Cottonee was once the target of a really rambunctious Fletchling, who was using the cloud of Cottonee as target practice. Mascar is a sneaky Pokemon, preferring to abuse his ability and hit opponents with status inducing moves and annoy them to death. Mascar is also a neat freak, preferring to stay by Brie's side most of the time rather than hang out with the other Pokemon (namely Toffee) in fear of getting his fluff dirty.

> **Macaroon (Roon)** // Ambipom M *with* Pick Up
>
>

> **Moveset:** Brick Break, Sand Attack, Dual Chop, Astonish, Double Hit, Swift ; **Held Item:** None
>
>

Caught in Santalune forest, Roon is seen as the current hitter of Brie's party. He loves to fight and fight well, as shown in Santalune Forest where he made a silent truce with Brie to defeat the fire types that were causing ruckus in the alcove. Roon is also responsible, babysitting and protecting Toffee (not that she needs protecting, really...) while Brie does important tasks. Roon also doesn't give up easily even in helpless situations, as seen in the battle in the Lumiose canals where he faced off with a Rotom, and evolved just to protect his trainer. The Ambipom is also shown to have Kleptomaniac tendencies, where he just picks something up that catches his fancy and stores it away, as seen in Santalune Forest where he showed Brie his stash of shiny objects.

> **Parfait** // Vanillite M *with* Ice Body
>
>

> **Moveset:** Autotomize, Icicle Spear, Icy Wind, Mist, Avalanche ; **Held Item:** NeverMeltIce
>
>

The fourth caught Pokemon of Brie's team, Parfait is... special. He is a heartbroken soul, dumped by his crush (not that his crush knew) in Lumiose for a female Vanillite. However, even when he is heartbroken, he is still a gentlemon, protecting those in need, shown in their first meeting where he mistook Brie licking a Strawberry Casteliacone for a trapped shiny female Vanillite that was too shocked to ask for help. Being sass incarnate, Parfait won't hesitate in sharing his thoughts, especially to a certain Psychic Pokemon if he wants Brie to know something.

> **Mochitsuki (Mochi)** // Munna F *with* Telepathy
>
>

> **Moveset:** Barrier, Psywave, Defense Curl, Lucky Chant, Yawn ; **Held Item:** None
>
>

Mochi was met by Brie at Hotel Camphrier in Camphrier town, given to her by a retired Contest Star that shared the same thoughts as her Musharna: for the young ones to know and enjoy Contests on their own. Mochi is a curious soul, always wandering around and eating people's dreams. She often eats Brielle's dreams whenever she feels them getting "tainted", blacking her out slightly. Mochi is also ironically the voice of reason, using her Telepathy ability to hint to Brie whenever she feels something is a bad idea, or to let her know what her other Pokemon are feeling. She's currently being taught by Brie proper dream eating manners.

## Relationships

### **Main Cast**

#### Kade Andrews

Brielle met Kade at the academy and had formed a rather interesting friendship with him. While she is always annoyed of him due to many things-- one being flying fetishes ("Birds aren't cute!"), she does quietly appreciate his company and reluctantly admit that he has potential in some creative skill. For some reason, Kade never realizes that it's Brie even when he's staring her in the face, with the trainer card showing and facing up towards him. She's slowly accepting the fact that Kade is just Kade and can never change. He is currently named "Dumbfuck" in her Holocaster.

#### Jackson Crane

While they did graduate together at the academy, Brielle never paid any attention to Jackson Crane, despite his growing reputation for being tough and scary, only really meeting him due to Professor Sycamore's request for her to pretty him up and prepare him for contests. Despite Jackson's attempts on being rough and mean, Brie didn't give a shit, he did not look cute. However, she eventually accepted his kind of cute after hearing his story and seeing the results of his transformation. Due to her lying about the hair dye, she is currently hiding from him and waiting for him to calm down before meeting again.

### **NPCs**

#### Pierre Couronne

A relatively
famous fashionista that designs a lot of gorgeous outfits for contest stars and
models alike. Pierre visited the Sinnoh region when Brielle was still a kid and
stayed at her parent's house for a while, as they accepted them in their home
while all the other inns were all full. One of the family friends, Pierre has
really high hopes for Brie winning the Kalos Grand Festival and would often
scold her for not living up for his expectation, while all the same providing
the necessary props and costumes that Brie needs in her contests.

## Trivia
