| » APPEARANCE Caira has always been in decent shape, slightly above average height and fairly lean she has an athletic build but she tends not to show it off. She is usually wearing a jacket of some sort and although she wears short shorts she usually has sports leggings on under them. She travels quite often and is frequently seen with a messenger bag bearing the crest of her Gym. Her attire tends to have a lot of pinks and blues in it as those are her two favorite colors. Caira tends to stand out in a crowd because of her brightly colored outfits. Even her hair is pink or light purple depending on the lighting. A color which clashes with her natural blue eyes. Her facial features are sharp with a pointed nose and chin. Her lips are usually twisted upwards as her face tends to default to a slight smirk. To some it looks arrogant, to others a bit skeptical. Caira carries herself confidently most of the time, unless she has recently suffered a defeat but in these times she usually likes to be left alone. Her movements are swift and decisive. When speaking Caira is very expressive and often gestures with her with her hands to help convey her points. She is hardly ever seen idle. She's always fidgeting, looking about or biting her nails and clearly has trouble sitting still. Especially when she is supposed to be listening. In battle she comes off as aggressive and cocky, often times shadow boxing along with her pokemon as they do the actual fighting. She seems a lot more confident in battle than she does in everyday life and also gets much more emotional. If you watch her face and body language during a battle you can tell exactly how well or poor she is doing based on her reactions. Emotion wise she really wears her heart on her sleeve. A stark contrast to some of her more stoic counterparts. » PERSONALITY » HISTORY Caira Faye got a late start as a trainer. She grew up a city girl and lead a comfortable life, her days were spent going to school and expanding her knowledge. Anyone can be a trainer, that's what her parents believed. They didn't want their daughter to squander her life away on such petty pursuits when there was so much more opportunity to be had right here in their home city. Unfortunately Caira was not equipped for that kind of life. She tried her hardest but couldn't manage to muster any real interest. After graduating she had no real desire to continue her education and began working instead. Her parents supported her choice but they always viewed it as temporary until she discovered a direction for her life. She worked as a courier, first inside the city and then gradually traveling further and further away. She always had a severe case of wanderlust, Caira was never content to stay in one place for long. In time though she grew tired of her job as well. When this happened she decided to make another change. The exotic land of Rakuen called to her, she could be a trainer like she had dreamt of. Even if that dream was one that she had kept to herself. Caira had always wanted to be one, but never really entertained the notion until now due to her parents expectations. They were always supportive and loving though, when the time came for her to finally leave she felt more disappointed in herself than her parents had been in her. While many struggle to get approval from others she has trouble approving of herself. Leaving home was the hardest thing she's ever done, to say goodbye to her friends and family and throw herself headlong into something she had no experience at. It was a scary thing but she excelled on her own. She was so excited when she was given her first pokemon upon arrival, a bold shroomish with big dreams of greatness. It was rough at first, but she figured that if she had to hit a wall she may as well hit it hard. After she stopped blaming her Pokemon for her failures and accepted the faults as her own she began making great strides and although her attempts to gather gym badges were met with little success they set her on the right path. With hard work she learned from her mistakes and in time she improved. It was a rocky road, with many hardships. She would never tell anyone but she nearly gave up and went home countless times but she couldn't bear to disappoint yet again. Perhaps that's why she was so drawn to fighting types. They were intense and fierce, they fought on where she would give up and she learned a lot from their stalwart natures. Caira tried her best to improve herself and found her place under the guiding hand of Rakuen's fighting type gym leader. An elderly man who dedicated his life to the art of combat. He had many similarities to Caira including a shared sense of restless wanderlust. He wanted to see the world and as much as he hated to leave everything he had built in Pantano, he had very little time left in which he could travel and see all the wonders of the world so he left his gym in the hands of his best and only student Caira. Some protested this, allowing an outsider to take such a position of power, especially one so young. Others saw this as a chance to grab an easy badge and at first they were right. Her record began 0-9. The gym was the laughing stock of the region and the locals of Pantano scoffed at Caira's every move. Caira reached out to her mentor, asked him to come back. She said that she wasn't ready and that she couldn't live up to his expectations. He refused to come back and told her that the gym was her responsibility now. Once she realized she couldn't run away from her duty as Gym Leader, Caira doubled down, continued to practice and before long her record had improved to 5 and 10. Since then she has proved herself as a worthy protégé though many still believe she is one of the weaker links in the chain of gym leaders. Today the gym doors are mostly locked the shuttered, Caira does a lot of traveling and is rarely at the gym. If you want the badge you have to schedule an appointment, or find her whilst she is out of her travels. She will respect you a lot more if you achieve the latter though the battle itself must take place in the gym as is tradition.
