Biography
Parents: Helena Fretcher (Mother) Saito Haruka (Father)
Siblings: None!
Children: She’s 13
Extended Family: Her uncle Armado Fretcher is taking care of her in Toro, and she has extended family from both her mother and her father. She was even gifted two pokemon eggs, one from each side!
History: Born to a short-lived marriage, Gretchen is the daughter of a Unovan Socialite and an entrepreneur from Kanto. Her parents fell out of love when she was around six years old, and her father insisted that separating and finding stability apart would be better for their daughter’s wellbeing: His utmost priority in the relationship at that stage. She would spend summers in Kanto with her father, and attempted to visit him for most holidays.

Her mother would try to put her in different classes and activities that she felt were suitable for a young lady of her age, causing Gretchen a great deal of discomfort and stress. Additionally, her mother was instructed to do a form of behavioral therapy with Gretchen, something to ‘encourage normalcy.’ This has caused some strain for the girl, and has built up resentment between the mother and daughter.

Following her father’s advice, she’s attempting a league challenge in a Region away from both her mother and her father. He described it as something children ought to do in order to find out who they want to be and begin their path towards independence, an idea that thrilled Gretchen. Her mother gave her a sunkern, and relatives from both sides of her family sent her two pokemon eggs, and sent her on her way. She decided to tag along with her Uncle to Toro, since she always did like him! Her mother hates him, so he must be great, right?

Nature
Personality: She’s at an age where she’s still figuring herself out: Who she wants to be, the direction she wants to go in life, what brings joy to her life. Additionally, in some ways she has been severely stifled by her mother, who seems to have a roadmap planned out for her Daughter. This has resulted in a girl who’s anxious about securing her future, and trying very hard to be someone who can’t be pushed around. She has a sort of bravado, a front she puts on that’s wit and snark and pessimism wearing the mask of realism. She copes with a biting sense of humor, and a streak of defiance. She isn’t sure who she wants to be yet. But she knows it’s not whoever her mom wants her to be.

At her core, she’s a kind person, someone who is gentle and curious with a keen desire to learn new things. Any new things. She knows she’s young, and inexperienced, and for all her projected confidence there’s so much she doesn’t know. She’s got some walls up.
Strengths: She’s very good at foraging and camping, since her interest in agriculture does have some spill-over into things like identifying wild berries and edible mushrooms, and even some natural remedies. She enjoys problem-solving, and knows how to live frugally without living like a pauper. Every little pix counts!
Weaknesses: She’s almost miserly with how she latches onto her funds with both hands, obsessively keeping track of her savings and feeling quite adverse to drawing from them. She is obsessive with money and with independence, to the point that it could easily become detrimental to her wellbeing. She also has difficulty sometimes adapting to something that doesn’t “click” for her, unable to make certain leaps in logic naturally.
Alignment: Neutral good
Ambitions: She’s always had a deep fascination with agriculture and pokemon husbandry. Currently, she’s using her attempt at the Toroan League as a means to try to fund and explore her interest in that! Her greatest ambition overall is not going home.

Pixelmon
Species: Sunkern
Nickname: Grenade
Gender: Male
Nature: Calm
History: The Sunkern was gifted to Gretchen when she was preparing to go to Toro for the league challenge, a pokemon known best for being among the weakest. Gretchen knows it’s not Grenade’s fault that her mother opted for something underhanded to try to trip her daughter up: No, this was still her first pokemon. It doesn’t matter if she’d have been better off going into the grass herself and wrangling a rat, this was HER pokemon, HER friend, HER partner. Her precious first step. She was gonna take this little sprout as far as she could, and she wholy respects its desire to not evolve- not yet, at least.

She also has two eggs that have not hatched yet, gifts from other members of her extended family.
