DON'T JUDGE ME
let.me.tell.you.what.i.look.like
Punk rock persona and all that mixed into a petite package. Ebeny is 5’4, 120 lbs. Her pale white skin has several tattoos she’s gotten over the course of time through travelling from one region to the next. Her hair is naturally black but ever changes depending on her mood. Ebeny’s eyes are blue; she wears bright red lipstick most of the time and has several piercings including her lip and ears. There’s a rough around the edges appeal to Ebeny, she likes to appear grungy with how she presents herself, her makeup may be a little rushed or on a bit too heavily, her hair might be ruffled to look messy, and the clothing she wears might be from a number of years ago with tears and scuffs in them.
Her dress and apparel is simple at best, she enjoys tank tops that don’t constrict her or make her feel hot, she likes old jeans that are comfortable and have tears in them and enjoys loose fitting shorts that comment her uncaring nature. Ebeny has a number of types of shoes ranging from boots, to sneakers her boots are worked into and really old having the funk of adventure and many steps to them. Despite her tom boy appearance she has a soft side with a set of lovely black high heels and a tight fitting strapless dress that allows her to enjoy the sunny weather more frequently on her relaxation days.

if.i.had.to.sum.it.all.up;
Thick headed and tough to get along with, she’s not the most enjoyable person to bunt heads with but she is possibly one of the most logical ones to bounce thoughts off of. A sense of logical thinking comes to mind when she’s met with impossible odds, how can she overcome such things? The thought process that crosses her mind is simple and yet intellectual. She’s prone to fits of rage toward stupid things and things that don’t go the way she thought it would go. Genuinely she’s a good person if you were to take out the rebellious nature that she never grew out of as a teen and ignored her yelling at you from afar when you decided your best option of avoiding her was to break out in a full sprint for Pallet Town. She enjoys long walks on the beach, pampering, a cold brew of something spicy, and classical music, so long as all of those are done to the symphony of destruction.
Ebeny often thinks of why she is here in the first place, she doesn’t question her standing as a Pokemon trainer or as a person but just wonders what other purpose she has other than standing in the way of others mean mugging them until they are forced to fight her to get past to the next challenge. Ebeny likes to believe she’s doing good by forcing battle for shiny trinkets but she can only imagine strengthening these peoples partners for the challenge ahead is her only goal in life. Did I mention she was rather philosophical?
WHERE I COME FROM
if.i.had.to.write.an.essay;
‘I would like to tell you a story of a beautiful girl who had nothing wrong in her life or grew up perfect in a world where the majority of all people seem happy. I’d like to tell you this story but I can’t find it in my cold heart to lie to you all. Let’s start off with my name, I am Ebeny Zwart, I’m not like you people, I’m not happy, I don’t smile all the time, I keep to myself… Yet these people have grown to me after some choice events that lead me to be the Mossdeep gym leader. I’ll tell that story after you learn about me.
‘It was ten years ago when the last of my family passed on…’
There sat Ebeny at her grandmother’s bedside. She had been sick for the last couple months but her symptoms only just begun to show. The best and brightest from Castelia City had given her no more than a week left, which was a week ago. Ebeny shed tears that streaked black down her cheeks running her eyeliner; she held her grandmothers hand tightly at her side was Houndour resting its head in her lap. The bedside was empty aside from the two sitting on the floor. The old woman was motionless she had passed some time ago giving into her sickness. Ebeny moved her hand away and stood up shrugging Houndour from her lap. She exited the room the doctor lowered his head to her, “I’m sorry.”
Ebeny took this time to gather herself and set out to challenge the league. She wasn’t but twelve years old at the time, her journey would take a long while as she moped along through forests and down roads challenged by trainers which she instinctually beat with Houndour. She took the first two Unova gyms with only Houndour at her side, Ebeny returned to her home city in Castelia where she used her earnings to buy two Eevee’s with her line up she went forward thrashing the next couple gyms. On her travels Houndour trained her Eevees to fight ruthlessly and to be strong. During a training session Houndour evolved into Houndoom and she continued on defeating the gym leader of Mistralton City.
She learned of strong trainers in Kanto and despite not defeating all the gym leaders in Unova she took a flight out of the region and ended up in Saffron city. The first place that caught her eye when she arrived to Saffron city was the Celadon Department Store. Several of the merchants were selling rare goods from around the world, including stones that would evolve pokemon. She had little money left but bartered down the prices of two stones a sun and moon stone. She was hesitant of using them at first but after the first couple gym battles in the Kanto region she had distinguished the personalities of her two Eevees and used the stones on them, one evolving into Umbreon the other Espeon.
As time went on she grew older and more distant from people and closer to pokemon. She stopped challenging gyms since there was no reason for her to branch out collecting badges for the pokemon league she never planned to fight. Ebeny travelled far south toward the ocean where she took a cruise straight to Johto. She was sixteen when she arrived in Johto, four years had passed since her journey started. Her idea of Johto was more of a passing through sort of situation. When she ran into a town with a gym she challenged herself and her pokemon and fought the leader if she failed she would stay in the town for a while and try again until she succeeded.
Johto was a spiritual journey for her, she visited land marks that legendary pokemon had once resided and studied the ruins of Alph. With time she grew tired of the region and returned home for a visit in Unova. She captured a Gothorita during her stay that had become slightly attached to her during a ‘meditation’ routine with her guitar. She headed back to Castelia City and took a ship for Hoenn where she resides now. When she arrived three years ago in Slateport things were very different. She decided to challenge the Gyms again and learned the region. The first six gym battles were smooth until her seventh where she was faced with crushing odds and was easily beaten by a master of psychic pokemon, he was known as the mentor.
Rather than moving on she stuck around the gym training and challenging people before they made it to the mentor. Eventually he took her under his wing and trained her by himself. For a year they became one in the same with their style of battle and she challenged him and won. The mentor turned over his gym to her after the battle and left to train and work his way to the Hoenn Pokemon league. She hasn’t seen him since.
‘That’s my story… Now I guess… I can fill you in on why the people here like having me around. The story starts a year after I took hold of the gym, I wasn’t received well by the folks here because I am not exactly the nicest person…’
TAKE A BOW

‘There was a time when a trainer and his pokemon arrived to the city and caused a lot of trouble around the town. He was a water type user using a Wailord as one of his staple pokemon. Instead of challenging me at the Gym he figured he could try and flood it off the island… It was the first time I came in contact with team Aqua…’
Ebeny rushed from the side of the hillside near the launch pad. She slid down toward the coastline with Houndoom close to her side, “You’ve gotta be kidding me.” Without a second thought she identified the problem and pulled two of her pokeballs from her bag and casually tossed them out releasing Espeon and Umbreon, “Alright girls, we have a huge target to contend with I guess it’s time to get to work.” Both pokemon ran to the coastline, “Espeon let’s hit it with a Psyshock, get the attention off the town and onto us.” Of course her pokemon followed her order yet the attack did little damage in the way of the Wailords thick skin, it did get its attention and sent a full blast of water directly for them.
Houndoom acted quickly grabbing the back of Ebeny’s hoodie and pulled her up hill, Espeon and Umbreon bounced off the ground and into the air where Ebeny took notice, “Espeon it’s time to shine! Use Shadow Ball! Umbreon follow up with Payback!” They worked like clockwork both falling in line and timing out each shot. Espeon had a clear shot at the massive target and planted the shadow ball straight into the face of the Wailord, Umbreon bounced directly off Espeon hurtling itself at extremely high speeds smashing into the same spot causing a splash as it bounced back off for the beach. She smiled, “Houndoom time to finish him off. Thunder fang buddy.”
The Houndoom roared and bolted for the shoreline Espeon and Umbreon jumped with Espeon bouncing off Umbreon and Houndoom jumping between the two to get the distance he needed to land on Wailord and bite down sending volts of electricity through the giant water type causing it to faint. Ebeny figured the pokemon was wild until someone recalled the pokemon from a boat. She took out a miniature telescope to get a look at the target who was dressed only in blue.
‘The citizens embraced me after, I wasn’t sure if the person was a genuine member of team aqua but his colors were undoubtfully repping them. I blossomed a bit that day, the people began visiting me and I opened up to them with my music. It is the start of my story, I suppose what follows is the climax…’
