Tori Mangu

[Tori Mangu]

Name: Tori Mangu
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Job: Trainer
Overall Appearance:

Tori is one of the thin people that stuffs themselves but never feels full. She is usually seen in dark blue, torn to shreds blue jeans. The jeans are torn on her left knee and very torn at the bottom The right knee is getting a tear as well as other tears along the sides of the jeans. She usually wears pure black, black laced army boots that rise well above her ankles, but her jeans cover most of the boots themselves. Her upper clothes consist of a black T-shirt with dark red designs all over them, the designs could be seen as either waves, or as fire going from the bottom and sides to her heart and neck. Over her shirt she wears a black jacket with no decorations, except the collar has a type of buckle. It is always unzipped unless it is freezing cold. Her jacket looks like leather, but closer inspection shows that it is nothing of the sort, it is made out of very durable, water proof cloth. The inside is padded with soft, warm wool. It amazes people how she never burns up in the jacket, but with the jacket open, most body heat escapes quickly. The jacket goes down just past the rim on her pants.

Overall her definition of nice or formal clothes is whatever she is wearing. You tell her to wear a dress you'll get old off. She wears the same clothes and washes them herself when they need washing, of course no one ever sees her do so. At first glance she seems like the person that would lead a gang, but people quickly found out that's not true. Her skin is pale, but not deathly pale to the point of looking like snow or a blank sheet of paper. Her hair is pure black and long, reaching to about her waist when it's down, but it is constantly up and seems to puff out in spikes on the side, indicating that her hair is naturally spiky. Her hair is tied up with a dark red tie. Tori's eyes are a very dark, smoldering amber that are usually shining with mischievousness, playful glint.

Personality:

Tori is a very different type of person that comes off as dangerous at first appearance, but she turns out to be a huge teddy bear on the inside. Her soft side won't stop her from hurting someone though if they push the right buttons. She really can't be considered as a mean person, just one with an anger that tends to get out of hand. But she tends to be very friendly towards everyone and everything, no matter what wrong they did to her or anyone else in the past. She firmly believes in seeing past the person's past and looking at them as a whole, accepting all.

She is incredibly loyal to those that she believes deserve her loyalty. Once someone obtain her loyalty, she will follow and protect that person with her very life. Her whole self with companions resolves around in being willing to give up oneself in order to protect another person's life or being. She literally lives by the saying: A true friend will take a bullet for you in a war. Basically Tori will throw her safety to the side in order to protect anyone or anything she cares about. Of course, she has the odd quirk that if you betray her badly enough, you no longer have her loyalty or trust, and you're next on her "who to beat up today" list.

Tori is confident, but not over confident. If you asked her if she could walk on water she would respond, "Bet you I can with enough practice." She refuses to give up, especially if it's called 'impossible to do'. Tori is not a person you want to get in a battle of wits with, most people don't win. She won't do something stupid that can kill her, but she views everything as a way to improve herself and to get better at everything. Tori tends to face everything this way, but she can go from bright and friendly to dark and serious in a matter of seconds if you manage to either threaten her, or come off as someone that wishes harm to either her or anyone she knows.

To wrap Tori in a nutshell, she is a loyal, trust-worthy person if you can get her to trust you. Her being mad at you is something you don't want to happen. She takes any challenge as long as there is no risk of dying on either side. And last but not least, she is a very honorable person that has very strong morals that she lives by constantly. Her will is very strong, and no matter how much beatings you put her through, she will never break. She would rather die than to forfeit her beliefs.

History:

To start off...

Tori's past was one of the ages (or so she says). She was born in the freezing cold mountains, her mother dying during child birth. So her father was left to raise her up in their mountain lodge home. They had a lot of money stored away for an emergency, like if Tori burned down the house or if a blizzard destroyed their food supplies. Her father would take her out in the wild and show her the local Pokemon, trying to get her to love Ice types, but Tori's love was with Fire and Dragon types. So in response her father got her small fire type stuff animals and a Salamence toy for her amusement. So her love of Fire and Dragon types deepened. Her dream was to have a Typhlosion and a Salamence on the same team, but her father said that she would never become a trainer. Tori, of course, viewed this as a challenge, and began to train hard to become a good fighter, her father saying that if she really wanted to tame Fire and Dragon types, she would have to be strong and respectable to do so.

Thus came her training schedule. She ran up a mountain 5 miles from her home, then climbed up the rest, toughening up her hands on the cold, hard rock. She ran along freezing cold rocks in order to make the soles of her feet hard. And one to many times her father had to warm up her feet and hands from near frostbite. She practiced boxing, kick-boxing and martial arts with her father, him saying that the day she could beat him was the day she was ready to leave home, but this was easier said than done. Tori's father made her hit ice blocks with her legs, toughening up the bones and punch the same blocks. His motto was, "Either you break the ice, or the ice breaks you." This couldn't be true enough. After a day of hitting the ice she broke her shin bone, having to be in bed 24/7 until she could walk without a crutch or without flinching.

These exercises finally got her to the point where she was able to dent the ice, but she could never break it. Tori was crushed at the fact, but her father said that he couldn't break the ice, and that if she kept trying to break it, she would get herself hurt to much. Then finally after seeing her father cry for over an hour, he gave her most of the emergency money to start traveling, telling her to grow stronger and for her to return home one day to show him her Pokemon. With that, Tori started her cold trek through the mountains to civilization that could take her someplace.

Going somewhere...

As soon as Tori reached the first big city she had ever seen, the world was her official playground. She refused to do as citizens said by not running on the roofs of climbing over fences, this was her ultimate test to see if she could defeat the giant Metropolis she had landed herself in. Tori ran everywhere, eating on the go like always as she desperately tried to find a place to raise Pokemon at. Finding no place that could suite her she left the city and kept traveling.

Her resistance to the cold was amazing given her constant life up in the cold North, but as she traveled South she found that life was a lot different. She had to unzip her jacket, but after that she felt much better. Tori kept walking and traveling until she found herself in the Serune region, ready to start off her adventure and show her father she could do anything. This challenge was tempting, and she was going to rush into it head first.
