Arella

Arella is a young shiny electrike that is currently a member of the Lucky Breaks Guild. She is weak in stature; ragged and often mangy. She bears a bad scar on her left leg that was inflicted by a bite from her brother, Ike. A strange white egg shape is imbedded on her back and seems to be the source of a mysterious power.

Arella is skittish, lonely, and an easily intimidated child. She is currently distrustful of most Pokémon, keeping her distance from those she meets. Arella has only truly opened up to Anana, who invited her into the guild. She can be prone to emotional outbursts with the onset of stressors and seems easily spooked and overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the world outside of Alipam.

### Family:

* Mother: Oltera
* Father: Unkown
* Grandfather: King Bultreus
* Brother: Ike
* Other Family: Akrias, Kallides, Myron, & Nikitas.

### Notable Powers:

Arella has a strange power that mostly activates as a form of self defense. If greatly threatened, a weird shimmering aura will surround her body and cause random effects to occur to those who touch it. The effects have varied from harmless aesthetic changes to Pokémon's bodies; to complete and total petrification of a Pokémon's body into a material similar to stone. All these effects are very similar to the effects that can be inflicted by shimmering spots.

At one point Arella was able to disguise her self in a supernatural way as a Aromatisse and was even able to temporarily block memories of her existence in the Pokémon that were near her when the illusion was put in place. She was able to use moves normally learned by Aromatisse and was able to walk upright. Though her leg appeared fine in the illusion, it still appeared she was suffering from the injury even while disguised. Only Bultreus was able to sense what her true identity was.

### History:

Arella is the Daughter of Oltera, and grandchild to the late King Bultreus. She grew up in the dying Alipam kingdom under the strict watch of her mother. Trained from birth, she has been forced to do many deplorable things in her young life in the name of the King.

According to a story she told Anana; one day she was asked to do something that she refused to comply with and was chased out into the wilds of Alipam by her brother, who she believed was trying to severely wound her or kill her. She managed to escape with Twigs, a young xurkitree slave and together they fled to a nearby location. Arella has not given much details about it, but she did share that while she was running she encountered a weird shimmering spot, one that is unlike the others the guilds have encountered. It was wide and sprawling and somehow was able to pull her inside. She felt like she was dying, as the shimmering spot changed her in ways she is not capable of describing well. It was thanks to Twigs that she was pulled out and both of them were changed by the experience, their colors now a bright striking blue and a weird egg like shape now deeply imbedded into her back. As days past, the two were unable to leave the bowl Alipam sits in and with the strange injuries inflicted by the shimmering spot, Arella and Twigs opted to try and beg her mother for forgiveness. Upon arrival, they were quickly cornered and harassed by Arella's family, even more so that it appeared she had been deformed in some way. Amongst the new onslaughts, something strange happened and it was inferred that Arella caused a catastrophic event that resulted in changes to the environment and the petrification of several of her family members. Ashamed and terrified by the event, Arella was finally able to escape from the one exit of Alipam with Twigs.

Not much else has been shared about her past.

### Appearances:

She first discovered lost in the Petrified Woods dungeon along side Twigs. She was aggressive and biased against the children of Prairieville but was easily defeated as it appeared Arella did not have a lot of strength to fight. Twigs carried her out and they escaped.

Arella appeared again later during a mission to find a lost spirit. She was being pursued by her brother who seemed to be trying to ask her something. The guild members distracted Ike which allowed Arella to escape, but not after showing a display of her strange powers when Ike took a nasty bite out of her leg. Twigs was no where to be seen at the time.

After rescuing Twig from a strange duplicate, Arella was eventually seen again during the Hollow's End dungeon, struggling in the depths of a shimmering spot. Touching the spot resulted in the guild members being teleported to the Alipam Kingdom with Arella. Apparently several months had passed during this teleportation and everyone had come too no longer in their Hollow's End costumes, but instead with their guild gear. Arella has been with the guild ever since. Arella eventually joined the guild officially after Anana befriended her and pulled some pranks on Tony with her.

During the Zygarde recruitment mission , Arella had been accused of being a champion after causing Zygarde to revert into a giant Ditto. She had been attempting to remove the spot when a shimmering wave was set off. Arella had no idea what to make of this information.

During the secret mission to retrieve help for Anana’s father, Arella was confused for someone else named Sedel by Hoopa. Hoopa bemoaned her use of a terrible disguise until the champion realized Arella was not who he thought she was. Finding this hilarious, Hoopa mocked this “Sedel” claiming that it was them who was the weak link and not himself. He ultimately let Arella know that even as a sniveling child- she would be too much for him to handle, but that like himself, unless she prepared, she had a storm coming and it would be the end of her along with everyone else.
