"The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved."
-Mother Teresa

- Iron Head (Egg move)
- Tackle (Starter move

- Mud-Slap (Learned at level 4)

» Likes:
-Being alone(?): Lanaya is used to being alone, since her travels to go to the Guild were taken just with herself as company.  
-The idea of getting stronger:  It's almost like this is what keeps Lanaya sane.  The idea of becoming stronger and more powerful is almost like a drug to the Aron.
-Quiet: When everything is peaceful and relaxed, Lanaya actually seems to lose some weight on her shoulder.  She actually seems to be more at ease when this happens.  Though these times are rather impossible to find and take.

» Dislikes:
-Being alone(?): There's always a flip side of things, even when they seem so black and white.  Lanaya has the phobia of being alone, so there's the whole conflict of that.
-Loud noises: Just no.  Any loud noises freak the little Aron out.  No more to it than that, she just hates them.
-Too scared to do something: There's almost a battle inside of Lanaya; she's timid, though she'll beat herself up if she doesn't buck up to the challenge.  She's tried training before, and she's gotten herself up to a level when she can learn a new move.  She believes with every level, she'll get stronger.

» Personality: If there was one thing you could say about Lanaya, it would be timid.  She's easily frightened with most things, and usually ends up hiding behind her teammate, if there's ever one who can get over her nervousness.  Lanaya has monophobia, or the fear of being alone, which amplifies the feeling of uselessness when she's too afraid to talk to someone.  The Aron hates herself for being so quiet and "weak", in a sense, that it causes her to be disappointed with herself.  Lanaya believes that if she evolves, she'll become stronger.  Though she doesn't know is that becoming more powerful on the outside, doesn't mean you're more powerful on the inside.  The Aron will become determined, sometimes, though it's only if she tries to see something to the end.  She really does try to do her best, though most of the time, it doesn't seem to be enough to others.

» History: Being born into a family of seven, her being number eight, would have scared some Pokémon.  She was the youngest of the family, so she was picked on a number of times.  Now it wasn't like it was "cruel" way of teasing the little tyke, it was her siblings' way to prepare her for the outside world; no one was going to help you, if you appeared to have no real use to the helper.  It might come to you as a surprise, but the parents didn't baby, well, the baby.  Heck, they weren't around most of the time; a lot of the times, the two married Aggrons were off defending their land from intruders.  It was put on Lanaya's siblings to look after her.  

The five siblings tried to introduce the little Aron to fighting, by partnering her up with an older sibling. Unfortunately, it usually ended with her cowering in fear, as the older sibling faked an attack.  So that failed.  They didn't give up on that; they kept trying to push the Aron to attack, though it never worked.  The siblings finally gave up, growing bored of the task.  Please don't think it was cruel of Lanaya's siblings to give up, it was that very event that led her to go into the Guild, surprisingly enough.  She set her mind to go join the Guild, wishing to become stronger and live up to her siblings expectations, and left her family, promising to return when she became tougher.  She was so close to entering the Guild...but as soon as she entered Grassveil Town, her determination evaporated in the matter of seconds.

Lanaya returned a second time, a little stronger this time, mentally and physically, wanting to appease the Guild Master.  And this is where her story actually begins.  Maybe she'll actually get stronger and live up to the dream of going back home.  Or she might end up failing.  Let's see, shall we...?
