Marisol Juliet Ashford So many things I'd say if only I were able general info
personality
Bashful-Often Lost in thought Marisol is quite anxious and prone to worrying often. She worries about her own and her people’s safety, as well as possible conflict that may occur.She wants people to think well of her, so she may worry about other people’s perceptions of her and may worry that others have hard feelings towards her. She’s prone to possessiveness and feelings of jealousy, especially considering her loyalty and her slow to trust nature – she really doesn’t appreciate others intruding upon her friend group. She’s immediately on the defensive when someone not in the group approaches. Within the group, however, she doesn’t mind breaches of personal space or property at all. She wants to be loved and needed and needs to told this constantly or else she’ll become moody.When outside her friend group Marisol has problems expressing herself, particularly verbally, due to shyness and fear of criticism. Social success may be slow and laborious, but she does not give up easily and is patient.Whatever she says and writes is self-censored to some degree. It's hard for her to pour out her emotions, no matter how emotional or needy she feels on the inside. This is because she always aware of what others might think of her with what she says. Marisol is careful with what she reveals to others. She makes plenty of disclaimers, and often comes across as negative or sarcastic without intending to. She often reviews conversations she had with others, and she often kicks herself for saying something she didn't intend to, or for not saying something witty. She’s constantly plagued by feelings of insecurity about how she speaks and communicates in general. Self-consciousness and hypersensitivity is also experienced in regards to her intelligence and/or ability to get ideas across to others. She needs plenty of positive feedback from others in order to feel more confident and less "blocked".She rarely accepts compliments whole-heartedly, yet she craves them and needs them. Mari might not be very flashy, and her presence is more of an understated, “Oh... that’s a little unusual,” than a, “Wow look at that!” brightness, but no-one can ignore her when she feels comfortable and really gets into the conversation. She’s playful; she’d rather bounce around with silly jokes and taking a running gag beyond the impossible than have a serious, ‘mature’ conversation. Above all, she wants to have fun, and she can light the place up with her unique humor and quirkiness (finding someone who can play along with her seemingly random joke-time tangents is rather hard). She can have a surprisingly cynical attitude, however, which can come through in her humor and what she finds amusing, and she’s certainly not above cruelly laughing at another’s expense . She has a very unique sense of sarcasm, and unless you know her well its hard to tell when she’s being serious so she’ll sometimes stop mid sentence and add in something like “oh that’s too mean” or “no I can’t say that” before continuing on the conversation like nothing happened. But when around certain people she can keep up volleys of sarcasm for hours. She’s also prone to playful bickering, but only with people who she knows won’t take it the wrong way. Humor and laughter are some of the most important things in her life. Marisol love the kind of insane humor that is odd and farfetched but somehow makes sense. Of course the second she feels she's being annoying she'll head right back to her shell so she's in a constant battle with herself. It takes a lot to get her to be truly comfortable enough to joke without worrying about being a nuisance. Messy, messy, messy. Intelligent she is, but Marisol is not one for a clean abode, really. Her floor is littered with food crumbs, or at least, it would be, where her mother not forcing her to keep it clean. She doesn’t need a tidy place to survive, she’s quite fine with letting everything lie and take to its natural order of accumulating over the weeks. Maybe not that great when she has guests, but oh well. It's her preferred style of living; clothes-ridden floor, empty drink containers lying on the tables, etc. She likes to hoard things and rarely throws anything out, and she likes to think ahead when it comes to using valuable items or eating hard-to-obtain food. It’s probably easiest to see with an example: if you got a shiny new sword that happened to have limited uses or a breaking point in a game, you wouldn’t use it straight away - or even at all. You’d keep it in safe storage, maybe going back to display it or use up whatever small proportion you think you could spare, before putting it back carefully for another few weeks. “I should save some for later,” is a thought that often passes through Mari’s head. She takes ideas (as well as other more material things – she absolutely cannot pass up free food, for example. No...seriously, to bribe this girl all you gotta do is offer up some sour candy and she's yours) from everywhere.She picks up turns of phrase from people she talks to and she’s quick to learn by imitation or seeing someone else display a skill.She’s not too good with sharing her personal space- she doesn’t mind other people, but if she feels like someone shouldn't be there, it's probably going to take extra willpower to be some semblance of civil towards the invader. Generally she'll ignore the culprit, but she’s been known to nitpick and even fullout attack when she REALLY doesn't like someone. Hissy little individual when it comes to her territory- she will protect it! It is hers, after all. If Mari’s doing something that she doesn’t care much about, she simply won’t bother spending any effort. If there’s a shortcut to a solution, she takes it. If she’s handing in homework, for example, she doesn’t bother writing it up ‘in neat’ or doing those extra optional questions – she does the bare minimum that she can get away with (or if the punishment can be talked out of or isn’t too bad, she just won’t do it). If she’s writing up notes, she doesn’t do any fancy colors or pretty-looking indexes – she just does what needs to be done and nothing more. She wouldn’t bother trying her best at every single thing if she could get away with less.She procrastinates terribly but somehow she always manages to get it done in the end; she’s not willingly irresponsible and she wouldn’t waste her energy breaking rules for the heck of it, but she’s a messy person who gets easily sidetracked. There are some things that she does care about, however, and when it’s related to that she demands perfection. She gets attached to things. Interests don’t just come and go; they come, and take up permanent residence in her mind with no sign of ever moving out. If she get interested in something, it’s not just a passing thought; it’s a part of her for life. Her interests and hobbies come from all over the place seemingly without any pattern; she’s a jack-of-all-trades and there are a lot of things that she ‘doesn't mind’ and very few that she actively dislikes, but conversely there are also very few that she actively likes. When performing a task, she does so with a one-track mind. It takes quite a lot to distract Marisol from a project once she’s started. It also takes a few seconds for her to shift from one gear to the next, so don’t walk up to her and just start talking without expecting to repeat yourself. Mari is a person who thinks of all the details that others forget. Her mind is almost always turned "on" which can make her a little cautious. With her attention to the details and the mechanics, however, she might end up missing the bigger point! She might display some traits of a hypochondriac, as she notices all of the little aches and pains that others might overlook. She tries her best to be polite with others, but it’s rather easy to get on her nerves.She may be smiling on the outside, but she isn’t necessarily thinking nice things on the inside. She has forgotten that vulnerability is not necessarily a weakness and only opens up to a few select others.Marisol isn’t a fan of others sticking their noses where they don’t belong. If she wants you to know something, she’ll tell you. Trying to be sly and trick her into giving you information will just make her angry, ask honestly and you’ll get an honest answer. Even if that answer is “I don’t wanna talk about it”. Sometimes she has an internal struggle between her needs and her wants. Marisol lacks focus sometimes and can be indecisive as a result. Her ability to be objective is both an asset and a liability, simply because when she decides on one route, she is pulled in another direction at the same time. Something tugs at her, and she begins to question her stance. "But what if..." and "on the other hand..." are statements she can't help but make, and that might plague her. Marisol is always aware of the opposing point of view and the other side of the coin. Marisol doesn’t like to strut her stuff too much, but it does irk her when her talents are not recognized; so she’s rather competitive, but only if she perceives others to be challenging her through showing off their own skills or criticizing her work. Otherwise,she doesn’t mind being part of the background – as long as they know she could beat them if she wanted to. How well she accepts your criticism depends on where you stand in her mental hierarchy; more often than not she’ll ignore any criticisms coming from someone who she doesn’t value as higher or equal to her.Mari’s quick to judge other people, and to put them down for anything not up to her standard. She doesn't have much patience for anyone who isn’t up to her standards or believes they are better than her without due cause. Because she values harmony, Mari may find herself giving in to others too easily. Resentment is possible, as Marisol sometimes can feel like she is the one who is doing all the acquiescing. She has a distinct tendency to become friends (and lovers) with people too readily, simply because there is a strong need for approval and a hunger for receiving affection. As such, she may get involved with people who seem to really like her, and she fails to consider whether she actually likes them back! It's somewhat of a weakness, as she very charmed by the idea that someone seems to really like and appreciate her. She dislikes public displays of affection, even if she isn’t the one receiving it. Everything from hand holding to kissing makes her cringe .But when away from the public eye she turns into a huge cuddlebug. If she likes you, don’t expect her to be sitting across the room. She’ll be sitting to shoulder with you at the least and if she really likes you she’ll even, if you permit her, crawl into your lap and curl up there like a happy little Purrloin. If Marisol sees you as a friend you’ll be able to tell right away. When she’s comfortable with someone she tends to get very touchy feely with them. She’ll randomly rest her head on their shoulder, give them surprise hugs, she loves to play with hair . Her brand of affection might be annoying at times; perhaps even a little rough. Some people don’t see her constantly poking and touching as affectionate. When her affection is rejected she can become quite moody, she takes any form of rejection as a rejection of her friendship. But let her pout for a bit and she'll return to normal.Despite her quiet nature, Marisol is very much an extrovert. She loves her me time, but if she doesn't get enough "us" time then she can become very cranky. biography Marisol believes that, until recently,she has had a rather uneventful life. She comes from divorced parents, but that doesn’t really affect her. Her parents divorced when she wasn’t even two, so she doesn’t really have any memories from when they were all together. Even divorced, both her parents played a role in raising her so Marisol never felt like she was missing one of them. Infact she felt like she received double the affection she deserved. She’d spend one week with her father then the next with her mother, she never felt like she needed anything else. Marisol had loving parents and loving friends, she was as happy as could be. Then her mother decided to move. At the age of seven, Marisol’s life was turned upside down. Although Marisol had come to terms with the divorce, her mother couldn’t stand living so close to her ex-husband and had decided to move away from Asperita to the Sinnoh region. Marisol was understandably upset, but soon learned to adapt to their new life in Canalave. She quickly made friends, but found that she was missing her father. Due to the distance, she could no longer go visit him for a week. They still kept in contact with calls and summer visits, but it wasn’t the same. Still Marisol persisted. It wasn’t until she turned ten that Marisol had any problems. By that time all her friends had left on their own journeys and her mother was trying to convince Marisol to go on one herself. Marisol had no desire to leave home or to own a pokemon and refused. Her mother decide that Marisol was just a late bloomer and assumed that she would come around,but then she was 12,then 13, then 15...By the time Marisol was 16 her mother was practically throwing Marisol out of the house demanding that she leave. She didn’t want her only daughter to waste away her life at home. During those years, while her mother begged and pleaded for Marisol to leave the house, Marisol had spent her time exploring Canalave’s extensive library. Since she had decided against a journey, Marisol had continued her schooling. In doing so she found of love of language and wanted to go to college for Linguistics. She debated going to college for another year before speaking to her mother about her plans. She was met with rejection, and her mother urged her to pursue a more stable career, preferably something with pokemon. Marisol didn’t take the rejection to heart, at least not enough that she would quit on her dreams, and decided to wait a few months before bringing it up again. During those few months, Marisol’s mother got engaged and the two of them moved to Kalos to live with their new step family. The change was quite jarring for Marisol, an only child suddenly gifted with two sisters and a brother. At first she tried to connect with her new siblings, but it was awkward and Marisol felt like she was intruding on the close bond the three already had. She felt like an outsider in her own house, especially in comparison to her mother who slipped easily into their new life. She hid in her room and spent most of her time in there. Eventually the too-small house in Camphrier Town became suffocating and Marisol decided to start up a Pokemon journey if only to escape the feeling of not belonging. Her mother was over joyed and instantly wanted to know which profession Marisol decided to pursue. Marisol instantly answered coordinator, it was the first class that popped into her head, and her mother took her to the shelter to procure a starter. Marisol decided on a quiet Eevee, the fluffiest 'mon in the shelter. Once everything was said and done Marisol left with her brand new Eevee and an optimistic outlook. Sadly she soon found that traveling wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, but refuses to return home out of pride and embarrassment.Despite being a coordinator she has never been in a contest, she hasn't even battled another trainer before. She likes to practice for appeal stages, and is actually quite good at coming up with combinations, but she dislikes the violence of battling. pokemon
