OOC NAME:: Natsu is fine.
APPEARANCE:
Natsumi strikes a confident figure despite her relatively short stature (165cm), due to the way she carries herself with elegance and dignity. Though she does not lay much time aside for beauty rituals, she does take care of her creamy skin and long, crimson hair that hangs in shimmering sheets to her hips. Her body is slender and taught, kept toned by her constant mountain treks to train and relax, and there is little that her sky blue eyes do not see. Her voice is soft and lilting, pleasing to the ears like a well loved song, and she rarely raises it even in battle. The tone is commanding enough that people tend to listen well, and even the most unruly Pokemon heed her words.
Whilst battling seriously, she wears a long top which is black across the chest and sleeves and dark blue on the torso down to mid-thigh. Black leggings cover her long, fine-muscled legs and on her feet she wears heeled black leather boots. Her style is mostly functional with a very slight military flair.
The rest of the time she tends to wear pretty summer dresses of varying colours, preferring the freedom they lend her body, though the sensible hiking boots she loves go better with khaki shorts and plain tank tops.
Perhaps her most notable feature is the burn across her upper back that is clearly visible when she is not in her battle uniform. It used to cause her great shame but as she grew older she learned to bear it with suitable humility.

PERSONALITY
While appearing outwardly quite serious, anyone who has known Natsumi for longer than a few minutes will quickly discover her love of humour and pranks. She is fiery by nature, unwilling to be talked down to by anyone and has a burning desire to win but not at all costs. Honour is an important trait and she upholds it in all aspects of her life. Though she is rambunctious, she refrains from pushing things too far and will quickly check herself if people appear to be irked or upset.
She is proud of her power but not narcissistic, believing that every battle lost is an important lesson and opportunity to reflect and adapt. Thought strict with her Pokemon and opponents, she remains open and approachable to all who she meets, willing to make friends with mostly everyone.
Though she tries to be mellow, she is easily riled up and quickly becomes unwilling to back down. As such, she can be prone to accepting foolish challenges or over-exerting herself. She falls into romances easily too, tending to overlook obvious flaws in character if there is charm and humour to conceal them. This has given her a reputation of being unlucky in love, but really she is just eager to shower her chosen target with affection.

HISTORY
Natsumi was born and raised in Ecruteak city in the Johto region, by her mother, Rei, and father, Kenji, both of whom were traders, dealing in the fine whiskey produced by Rei’s brother from Hoenn. Although both used Pokemon to assist them, they weren’t by nature trainers, so it was Natsumi’s elder sister, Taki, who inspired her to obtain a Pokemon of her own and start her own adventure. Together they made the trip to Professor Elms lab and with their new partners headed out to conquer the Johto league. Natsumi chose Cyndaquil, a tenacious and clever female whom she nicknamed Sly, and Taki picked Chikorita. With her older sister in the lead, Natsumi watched and learned as they fought their way to each city and conquered each gym, Taki always taking the first victory then cheering her on until both had achieved success. When both had received their 8th badge, they got a call from their parents asking them to give up on training and come home to help with the family business. Selflessly, Taki told Natsumi to continue on without her after persuading their parents that only one extra pair of hands was needed. Though bitterly disappointed, Natsumi agreed on the condition that Taki promised that she would catch up one day and they would both become victors of the league. With a well trained team and after many hard-fought battles, she defeated the Elite 4 and the champion, then returned home victorious.
After working with her parents for a few years, she grew restless and decided to undertake a new challenge. Using her uncle as cover, she travelled to Hoenn to work in his whiskey distillery in Verdanturf Town and undertake some travelling to size up the league. With her already formidable team it did not take her long to collect the gym badges of the region, and though she came close to being decimated by the champion, she managed to scrape through with Sly’s help. Content but exhausted, she decided that she would stay in Hoenn to help her uncle and continue to acquire and train Pokemon in the hopes that Taki would be able to join her there soon.
Three years later she received an official letter from the league offering her the opportunity to join the Elite 4 as the first opponent. Such a prestigious offer could never be declined, and with her uncles blessing she left to start her new job immediately, utilizing the fire Pokemon that she had collected and trained over the years as her partners to test the mettle of new league hopefuls.
