| » APPEARANCE Mina is, what many people would call, an average girl. She stands at a measley five-foot-six, though due to her limp, it seems more like five-foot-five or even five-foot-four. Due to her being bed ridden for so long she is skinny and just now gaining back her toned physique she had before. Her skin is a gorgeous olive tan from genetics and staying out in the sun. Mina inherited her lovely violet locks from her father's side, the Blackwoods. She usually wears it up in a high ponytail, clipped with a blue and white pokeball pin. Her eyes, which are a dark blue, she inherited from her mothers family, the Eastengales. Being nineteen she usually isn't into the fad of heavy makeup and foundation. She simply wears winged eyeliner. Mina is nearly blemish free, except for faded scars around her left kneecap and her left arm, which she sustained from the attack so many years ago. » PERSONALITY » HISTORY Mina was born into the prestigious Blackwood family, mostly known for the wonderful donations and their equally wonderful pokemon flocks. She was born in the small town of Petalburg and was happy there. She grew up around all sorts of pokemon that she quickly formed friendships with. Due to her comfortable home though she grew restless around the age of ten. That was when she begged her father, Sirius Blackwood, to let her be a pokemon trainer. He agreed of course, being a senior pokemon trainer himself. Mina was filled with joy. On the night before her journey would begin however, she decided to take a trip through Petalburg woods to bid her friends goodbye. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. As she was trying to find a Shroomish she called Nancy, she heard a growl behind her. When she turned she saw a flock of Poochyena. Although she had run into the Pokemon before, she was told to stay away. One Poochyena was fine, but a pack were wild and unpredictable. Unfortunately for Mina, that night they would also be ferocious. Apparently thinking she was a trainer, they attacked her. The largest one went first. As he jumped she yelled out for help. It's fangs bit into her arm, near her elbow. She screamed again and tried to push the pokemon off, but instead it let go of her arm and went for her leg. It's jaws locked around her knee. Although she yelled and kicked, Mina could not get free. At least, not until her father came to the rescue, sicking his pachirisu on it. Mina survived, but with great damage to her arm and leg. The doctors didn't think she'd ever be able to walk on that leg again, thus her pokemon trainer career was finished before it even started. At first she was very depressed as now she would never get out of this town. But one of her cousins told her positive attitudes could do miracles. Mina listened to him for once and decided to try her best to get better. It wasn't easy, but after her wounds healed, and countless hours of physical therapy, Mina was able to nearly walk on her two feet again. When she turned nineteen she brought her parents into her bedroom and proved she could walk. Although she still had a slight limp, which got worse throughout the day, she knew she could take her pokemon journey. Her parents could see how much she wanted this and agreed. There was only one catch, she had to go to a different region. Mina didn't want to stay in her homeland anymore as she knew it would be less likely for her to run into poochyena somewhere else. She admitted that she still had a fear of the small puppy pokemon. Her parents reluctantly agreed after days of begging after she promised to call everyday. She took a flight from hoenn to Rakuen and didn't waste a second. As soon as she landed, she grabbed her backpack and headed for the pokemon lab. | ||
