[ « on my birth certificate » ]

Marika Svoboda
'bitter freedom'

[ « what i respond to » ]

My name is kind of one that's hard to shorten. My ex did call me " Riri " for the longest time. I think that's the only nickname I've ever really had, and don't you fucking dare call me that. I guess I'm always up for a good one, though.

[ « my gender » ]

I don't think it's that hard to tell that I'm a female. If you are, I think you need serious help.

[ « how many candles » ]

I'm eighteen, really. Most of the time, I don't act my own age. I'm either bein' really immature or bein' a major party pooper, which is never fun.

[ « my day of presents » ]

February 23

[ « my first location » ]

Fallarbor Town, Hoenn

[ « my background » ]

Polish, Romanian, Czech

[ « who rocks my world » ]

I'm not really interested in anyone at the moment, for, uh, certain reasons. If I had to choose a gender, though...I'm not picky. Just someone to lean on, you know?

[ « those related to me » ]

Kostek Svoboda … father, fifty-six
Leosia Svoboda … mother, fifty-two
Borys Svoboda … half brother, twenty-three
Cecylia Puravet … aunt, forty-nine (blind)

[ « my goal » ]

Hmm... I think I'd want to be a breeder with training on the side. Breeding would definitely be the least people-oriented, I think, which would definitely be a plus. I also would get to deal with Pokémon, which would be beyond amazing.

[ « windows to my soul » ]

The shape of Marika's eyes are evidently round, giving the young woman a doe-like appearance. Many believe that she is either worried or upset because of this, even if she is in a perfectly dandy mood.

The color itself is a light amber, which, in most light, appears to be a perfectly acceptable light brown. She is quite proud of her 'abnormal' eye color. However, she doesn't like people staring her in the eye, so she has blocked their visibility with her bangs. It does make it quite difficult to see, though.

[ « my locks » ]

Describe the length, colour, style, accessories.

[ « my stature » ]

With her father being very tall and her mother being very short, Marika got stuck in the middle. She stands at the average height of five foot four, but her lack of appropriate posture robs her of a few inches, making her appear a bit shorter.

[ « my presence » ]

Marika is a completely healthy one hundred fifteen, but, like many other females, thinks that this is horribly inadequate. However, she fails to take the proper steps to change that, seeing as she eats horribly and does little besides walking to keep herself in shape.

Simply put, don't mention her weight.

[ « my figure » ]

Most would describe Marika as slender. However, she definitely has a pear-shaped body: small shoulders and wide hips. She would be considered proportioned by many, but that doesn't stop Marika from despising a look in the mirror.

She is not the strongest of people, but she likes to believe if she tries hard enough, she can lift or do anything. Her fragile frame and her lack of balance leave something to be desired. She exercises when she can, which mostly consists of walking, just to clear her head.

[ « my apparel » ]

Clothes, blahblahblah.

and walking arm in arm
you hope it don't get harmed
but even if it does
you'll just do it all again

× the persona ×

[ « getting in depth » ]

devoted ▬ It is very difficult to gain her trust, but once you have Marika on your side, you've got a friend for life. Marika will follow those she loves to the ends of the earth. However, few have burrowed themselves that deeply into her heart, so this side of her is rarely shown.

confident ▬ Whether it be in a simply choice, like which type of beer she chooses, or a life-altering one, Marika is confident that she will make a good choice. Most of the time, anyway. She is confident in her abilities and her possibilities and is quite proud of herself whenever she completes something well, just boosting her pride even more.

spontaneous ▬ Marika could be compared to a prairie dog, with her random acts of immaturity. This occurrences become more common as she drinks more. Her spontaneity ranges from spitting out a random thought to bursting out into laughter. She likes to keep things fresh and hates moseying about with one topic for too long.

naïve ▬ Even though Marika might come off as a dunce, she is actually quite sharp. However, her lack of perception of others and their motives has robbed her blind, leaving her to simply follow others for the sake of hope. This does not mean that she trusts the people she follows.

relentless ▬

blunt ▬

unhinged ▬

solitary ▬ Marika had long ago lost her trust in people and attempts to separate from others in the long-term. If she ever feels herself getting close to someone, she will immediately feel the need to squash whatever kindness there once was to drive the person away. She doesn't want to get hurt and doesn't want to hurt others, so she solves this by simply cutting them out.

The only person she really trusts is her aunt. She was the only one that truly believed her when she needed someone to, and Marika will never forget that. Everyone else is just some hurdle to jump.

lively ▬

rash ▬ Sometimes Marika is too spontaneous in that she does something with absolutely no thought of consequences. This leads her to regret many of her actions. However, her impulsive actions are so overpowering that there is little reason to believe that she could change this. So, her life carries on, regret after regret.

mischievous ▬

paranoid ▬ Ever since she was fourteen, Marika has taught herself to have little trust in others. She also freaks out at the littlest of movements in alleyways and absolutely despises anything related to ghosts. She swears that a flock of ghosts is following her and every time she feels a chill, she starts losing her mind.

masochistic ▬ Marika's past has made her believe that she is not worth anybody's time. In order to cope with this, she is commonly getting drunk, starving herself, and smoking. She feels that she deserves every single pain she puts herself through, seeing as she swears she was the one who destroyed her family. This is not true, though, and she uses all of this to distract her from her 'mistakes'.

[ « diving into my past » ]

[ told in first person ]

This must be at least five paragraphs in length, well thought out, and well-written; stories that are overflown with angst, tragedy, or unnecessary drama will be rejected, and you will be asked to revise it. Legendaries should not be encountered, nor even mentioned unless it is about a story your character heard as a child.

[ « all the little things » ]

◊ Marika is a heavy drinker and has never admitted to being an alcoholic, even though it's quite obvious. Her dependence on nicotine, however, is not nearly as drastic as her desperation for alcohol.

◊ Marika has a new affinity for earthy Pok?mon, especially those of the Grass and Rock persuasion, since she has moved to Fallarbor Town.

◊ Like a bird, Marika has an odd compulsion to stare at shiny objects. Sometimes she will swipe them while their owner isn't looking.

◊ When Marika was seventeen, she snuck out of her aunt's house and traveled to Mauville to get a tattoo. She got a large rose on her right shoulder. click here

◊ She has an obsession with socks and wears them all the time. The only exceptions might be showering or swimming.

◊ She is absolutely terrified of all Ghost Pokémon and she shows an odd dislike of Dark Pokémon.
