» Personality: Snubbulls are known for being rather docile despite their appearance, but Dion is just as ferocious as her image suggests. Thick-skinned and sharp-tongued, Dion isn’t afraid to use brute force to get her way. In fact, that’s pretty much the only method she uses to reach her goals. She’s a bit of a barbarian to that end, being violent, crass, and antagonistic as a whole. Her abrasive behavior is only spurred on by her temper, which tends to explode whenever she takes umbrage. This is regardless of whether the slight is intentional or not. Frankly, she’s probably just trying to find an excuse to pick a fight.

Dion lives for the thrill of the fight and has a wide sadistic streak, almost to the point of villainy. There isn’t an ounce of self-restraint in her; she’s a no-holds-barred, shift-into-overdrive kind of girl. She acts purely on impulse and gives no thought to, well, anything. Though she wants to become someone famous, you might wonder if she’s more suited to be a criminal instead. She certainly seems to be veering off the right path.

Surprisingly, Dion isn’t completely unsociable. She won’t pick on those who can’t defend themselves, preferring brawls with people her own size. She grudgingly extends her friendship to those who don’t look down on her and are able to handle her rough personality. Though intense and overbearing, she always comes through in a pinch. Her way of getting things done isn’t pretty, but at least she’s willing to help out in the first place.

» Likes:
- Fighting: This much is obvious. Dion lives and breathes battles, to the point where she practically goes into withdrawal if she hasn't beaten someone up for a while. Her style is aggressive and physical, geared exclusively towards offense. She's a heavy hitter, but she doesn't put much thought into her moves.
- Power: In the same vein as her love for fighting, Dion is downright obsessed with power—the barbarian, I'm-stronger-than-everyone kind, that is. She's a pretty simple person, after all. This doesn't mean that she pushes down people who can't fight back; in fact, it's the opposite. Her definition of power is being able to take down the strongest, not the weakest. She wants to be respected and feared, such that no one would dare to sneer at her ever again.
- Risk: Dion loves anything that can give her an adrenaline rush. Since fighting apparently isn't enough, she likes to engage in cheap thrills to pass the time. When she's not brawling, she's often risking her life and valuables in some other way. It's a bad habit that no one has tried to deter her from yet.

» Dislikes:
- Scorn: The reason why Dion took on the quest to become stronger in the first place was to wipe the smug expression from the faces of those who look down upon her. She takes everything personally and can't stand to be looked down upon. It's kind of ridiculous how sensitive she is.
- Quiet: Dion is uncomfortable with tranquility, taking it upon herself to disturb the public peace whenever possible. She wants things to be loud and flashy and dynamic, not... still. Bland. It infuriates her.
- Books: Dion has never been much of a scholar. She struggles with understanding complex concepts and plots books present to her, and avoids reading like the plague. In fact, she has a hatred of academic pursuits as a whole, since she is often scorned for lacking knowledge and understanding.

» History: All her life, Dion has only ever been looked down upon. Her father is a successful merchant, her mother is an acclaimed retired explorer. Her brother is the smart one, her sister is the pretty one. And what about her? Who is she? No one, that’s who.

Dion was often pushed around as a child. She was simple-minded even for her young age, with more complex concepts flying straight over her head. She was clumsy, helpless, and overly sensitive. The kids her age in Grassveil Town took advantage of these traits in their innocent cruelty, playing pranks and games and laughing, always laughing.

She was a disappointment even in her family, among her exceptional siblings. Kip was virtually a genius, one who could solve every problem he found and understand everything he saw. Foxglove was unnaturally beautiful, as charming as a siren. Dion? Dion had nothing going for her. Her parents devoted their energy towards cultivating her siblings’ talents, wordlessly deeming her a lost cause. She was tired of being unimportant, but she didn’t know what she could do about it.

That’s when Minnie, her grandmother, made her debut into her life. Shortly after divorcing her second husband, she came to live with her daughter’s family and almost immediately fixated on Dion. Maybe she saw potential, maybe she saw a sad sack who needed an extra helping of her help love. Whatever it was, no one knew what Minnie was thinking when she dragged Dion to the backyard one day to teach her how to fight. No one questioned it, either. Questioning Minnie often earned you a thorough thrashing.

Minnie was a force of nature, someone who went completely against the timid nature of her species. Whatever amount of docility and weakness Dion had inside of her, Minnie beat it out. Her grandmother taught her how to lunge and how to feint, how to hook and how to jab. She taught her how good the adrenaline rush felt. She taught her no mercy.

In her impressionable youth, Minnie’s teachings impacted Dion greatly. She went around picking fights with the kids who used to make fun of her, losing some and winning more. The thrill she got from standing over someone who used to ridicule her was addicting, sparking and feeding an obsession with power in her. She turned scrappy. She turned tough. She turned strong.
So why was she still being looked down upon?

Some people were afraid of her, sure. But they didn’t respect her. They talked to her like some kind of animal, took turns riling her up. They called her mindless and stupid. They said she was a delinquent with no future. Worst of all, her family seemed to turn even more of a cold shoulder to her, which only frustrated her more. No matter what she did, they wouldn’t acknowledge her, much less approve of her. But why?

The answer, to her, was simple. She didn’t have enough power yet. She didn’t have enough strength.

So in her teenage years, with approval from her grandmother and little resistance from her family, Dion left Grassveil Town with the vow that she would come back better and tougher than ever. Then, maybe then, she wouldn’t be looked down upon anymore.

Sorry, your Character Bio cannot be approved due to the following reason:

1.) NATURAL FEATS

While snubbull do fight primarily by biting things, there is not a single mention of its jaws in any Pokédex entries that would suggest it's anything feat-worthy. As a side note, you aren't required to have a minimum of two feats.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message any of the Secretaries. May it be through the Chatbox or through Private Messaging, we will tend to your concerns as soon as we can. Please fix your bio accordingly so that we may be able to approve it. Once you have completed your edits, either bump this thread or message us.
