LYCIAE 'THERIAN' BERTRAM

History

Lyciae Bertram is a girl of the Kalos region originally, her parents rife and rich in the industry of arts. In fact, they often traveled to other countries, and in such an excursion, they left their daughter with an old family friend. In fact, this was in a country few would expect, since it's so out of the way it's difficult to reach in a timely manner. This country was Ransei, perhaps the only one in the entire world not afflicted with any nefarious gangs, simply due to how pokemon were different in that land. But the girl didn't seem to mind, as she was taken in at the tender age of six years with the nobleman. That's when the warlord began to train her in the way of a noble, sophisticated woman.

Despite it's near medieval state of being, Ransei was peaceful. The girl felt content living there her whole life, easily falling in line with the beliefs of the region. But one day would set everything into perspective, as a shipwrecked boy ended up on shore. She was a mere twelve when she found him, and brought him to the castle to be healed and aided. Of course, once the male was revived, he seemed to be full of questions. It was fascinating to Lyciae that someone from the outside had come here. That they were so full of things. What she did know, is that the man was from a pokemon team, named plasma. Although when she learned he was only about three years older then her, she was surprised. But she always peaked at him, and then shyly aided him. In fact, he was the first one to offer her a pokemon.

She was hesitant, but the male shook his head and told her that he only put them in the pokeball because the ship was wrecking. Letting them out, she was amazed at his pokemon. He had gotten as many of the pokeballs from people as possible to save the pokemon, with no regards to himself. So some of them belonged to him, and some didn't. When the Skitty seemed to positively bounce into her arms, she cradled it and held it close. The kitten was scared of men in general, and found comfort within the girl, despite it's owner being gone. The girl accepted the pokemon.

And then the stranger had to leave, when a boat finally came to them, about a year later. A strong willed girl of thirteen, she argued with her guardian. But he did not allow her to go, and thus, cut her hair, picked up the pieces to make a wig later, and packed most of her clothes she could find that would be practical. Breaking the bank for her allowance, she took that as well, and snuck out, barely managing to get on the boat in time. She.. she wanted to catch up with the boy that had motivated her, but didn't dare too, often keeping to herself.

It was all fine until she had leaned too far and fell out of the boat. Luckily for her, a Wailord had been passing by, and decided to ferry the girl, as the boat had not noticed her falling off. Luckily, she had her pack with her money and some clothes inside. The travel was interesting, as sometimes the Wailord would pass her off to her children. She was a gentle girl and they felt in her that they could trust her. When they finally reached land, one of the children, the son, seemed to be very upset and didn't want to leave her. The mother seemed to approve, as the girl explained the pokeball was so that only she could take care of the Wailmer.

Agreeing, she almost never had her pokemons hidden. Strangely, she found herself in the land of Unova, a new land she had never seen before. She wandered around the city, curious and wondering, when she stumbled across uniformed men. They accosted her, and the girl was frightened, but calling upon a deep well of resources, she ran circles around them with her words. Remembering how her caretaker had warned her of a sharp tongue, she freely applied it. Of course, the situation devolved into a battle when one of them tried to take her Skitty, and the pokemon howled in fear the second the man tried to touch it. Of course, the Wailmer was protective, and rammed the guy, as the girl backed into a corner, looking for a way to escape.

That's when the boy saved her again. With a grateful smile, she followed him, and joined up with the Team, and go those... less then savoury characters punished. Luckily, for some reason, her identity was not given, as he just said that she reminded him of a girl he once knew. Of course, the girl hid her gender as a boy, and continued life like that for a while. But it's becoming more and more difficult as of late, as her body wasn't doing the changes a male's body would do. But she had faith in herself to keep going, and continued her charade, having finally made officer after proving herself towards the team for several years.

She did regret leaving her caretaker like she did, but the boy, now a man, was her senpai. She didn't mind it too much, and she thought that maybe, just maybe, she could find her parents some day, and learn why they abandoned her as they did. So with a bright heart, mind, and a new goal, the girl found herself being sent off to Kanto and Johto, to aid the team in their goals. She was quite happy to be of service, and was giving new grunts to go for. She just hoped that her senpai, whom was already there, would be happy that she came along. Perhaps, just perhaps however, she would be able to confess her secret and her feelings very soon...

But that was a difficult idea to process, and so, she remained hidden for now.
