[HALE CALLAHAN]

{ HAYLENE 'HALE' SIOBAHN CALLAHAN,

20 | FEMALE | HETEROSEXUAL | FIGHTING

HOMETOWN: Alto Mare
HEIGHT: 5'02"
WEIGHT: 130lbs
FACE CLAIM: Self-Made

POSITIVE:

• Disciplined. Comes with once being part of her brother's platoon.
  
• Determined. If she's going to do it, expect no less than 110%
  
• Intelligent. She suffers no fools and is rather well-read.
  
• Fiercely Independent. If she can do it herself, she bloody hell will.
  
• Unfailingly loyal to anyone she considers a friend.
  
• Sincere with how she feels. What you see is what you get and she won't sugarcoat it if she likes or hates you.
  
• Tenacious. If you hit her, expect her to hit back for as long as she isn't down and out.
  
• Empathetic. She treats Pokemon like real comrades, never storing them in Pokeballs unless truly required.
  
• Reasonably well-trained in self-defense, as per training from her brother. She can stand her own ground.
  
• Cool-headed under stressful conditions. She can think on her feet to create battle strategies on the fly.
  

NEGATIVE:

• Aloof. She doesn't actively seek out friends, believing she does absolutely fine without them.
  
• Anger issues. Not easy to rile up, but once she does it gets very ugly very fast and she may lose inhibition.
  
• Next to no sense of self-preservation. There are times she doesn't think about her own mortality or the feelings of those close to her when getting into dangerous situations.
  
• Superman Compex. Even if it doesn't concern her or may get her into bigger trouble.
  
• Socially awkward.
  
• Gender issues. Finds herself dismissive of 'girly' girls though this actually hides her sense of inferiority when it comes to her own gender.
  
• Stubborn. There's no talking her out of anything unless a sharp slap comes with it.
  
• Trust issues. It takes her a long time to truly open up to anyone.
  
• Crass. She has no care for her manner of speaking to anyone at all.
  
• Arrogant. If she's good at it, she'll shove it in your face.

SECRETS:

• Elektra Complex, though this has mellowed out somewhat.
  
• Her father being an ex-Mob Boss.
  
• Her killing her own uncle when she was ten after:
  
• Watching her father die at his hands.
  
• The scars that mar her from the above legs which hampers her running significantly, that is to say the feeling of hot pokers shoved up her shins after a few minutes of doing so. This is why she's trained to fight back and not run.
  
• That her pride and stuborness hides feelings of powerlessness borne from that incident.
  
• Where she got the white stripe in her hair.
  

HABITS:

• Drinking
  
• Sparring with her own Pokemon.
  
• Fiddling with her hunting knife.
  
• Walking city streets at night.
  
• As per above, sleeping in often.
  
• Never sleeps at a Pokemon Center. Ever. Understandable after spending two years hospitalized.
  
• Adamant on teaching her Pokemon to recognize human symbols and alphabets as she wants them to be independent even when she isn't around.
  
• Depending on who carries more weight in fights, once they understand the above, she tends to share battle wins with them.
  
• Tends to want to teach her Pokemon to be self-reliant on their instincts rather than her orders.
  
• Allows them to sleep on her bed, everytime. Even when it will kill her back.
  
• Always gives them an article of clothing or something to wear as an 'initiation' gift.
  
• Tends to get so caught up with whatever she might be doing be it sparring or reading that it might take her a good five seconds to reply to anything verbal.
  
• Highly formal and respectful of members of the force be they soldiers, paramedics or cops.
  
  

OTHERS:

• She has a strong liking for feline Pokemon of any sort and prefers mammalian-based Pokemon over the rest.
  
• Type-wise, she loves Fire, Water, Normal and Psychic, while being somewhat apathetic to Steel and Grass.
  
• Tends to do extremely well in Double Battles where she works both her Pokemon tandem and may choose to handicap one opponent so only a single move can be slotted in the next turn.
  
• Proficient with small firearms.
  
• Hates being seen as a 'load' or useless.
  
• Soft spot for fathers, having lost hers violently when she was younger as well as young children who have gone through the same experience.
  
• Can and will get violent defending her own Pokemon.
  
• Missing her right pinky from the same incident in her childhood.
