» Likes:
Tamato berries - Pere enjoys spicy foods in general, as eating them makes her feel tough. She particularly enjoys the Tamato berry as a rare delicacy, and, given the choice, would readiliy devote several hours to going through a basket of the fiery suckers.

Sunshine - Because cats, and napping in sunny spots of warmth and comfort...and...yeah. As much as she tries to deny it, she still catches herself nodding off in a good ray.

Ribbons - Pere is especially adamant about denying this aspect of her tastes. She'll try and disguise one as a plain old stat boosting band by wrapping it around a wrist or leg, or even stop to try and sneak a wistful peek at one in a shop. Ribbons (especially shiny or glittering ones) are perhaps the only thing to evidence so much as a shred of desire for just a little bit of indulgent girliness admist all her brash and unfeminine demeanor--but hell if she'll let anyone else know, and start thinking less of her for it.

Competition/Winning - Because honestly, it just feels plain GOOD to know you're strong enough to beat others at something. Winning at anything (even something small or nonconsequential) is enough to greatly lift Pere's mood for a few hours, albeit at the cost of constant sulking being exchanged for smugness and boasting.

Solitude - More often than not, Pere just finds other people annoying. She grew up being left alone most of the time, and has come to feel most comfortable by herself; no pointless chatter or nerve-grinding, just freedom to think her own thoughts without interruption or contradiction for a while.

» Dislikes:
Bitter foods - because, seriously? There are a ton of better tasting foods out there, so why would she bother going for something that tastes plain awful?

Rain/Humidity - Not that she particularly cares about being sopping wet or bedraggled, but damp fur makes it easier to conduct electricity. And all that loose static quickly leads up to poofy, ridiculous looking fur.

Prolongued chatter - "Seriously? Are you STILL talking about this? Didn't you get your point across five minutes ago? Uggghhhh, your voice is SO annoying, PLEASE just shut up already and leave me alone, I've got places to be and YOU aren't a part of that."

Mud/Dusty conditions - Pere can't STAND the gritty, coarse feeling of mud or dust caking her coat and wedging itself into her paws. Maybe it's the type-weakness factor, maybe she just hates the stiff feel of dried mud in general.

Loud/Confrontational/Rude Pokemon - Pere's already quick enough to argue or fight as it is, and it doesn't help when she has to deal with one or several people who set off her temper.

Imposed Femininity - Seriously. Try telling Pere she ought to try acting a bit more like a girl sometime. See how well she takes it. Good luck.

Losing - Possibly the only other thing besides coming off as "girly" that humiliates Pere more than anything else in the world.

Slowness/Multiple Explanations - "I'm only going to tell you this once. Either keep up or get left behind."

Flirting/Romantic context - "Ugh. Nope. Nope nope nope."

Children - They're...well, they're not QUITE as annoying as older Pokemon, somehow. And she does find it harder to bring herself to be abrasive to a toddler. But...still, CHILDREN. Fragile, noisy, demanding, time-gobbling children. Nope.

» Personality: Rash, impulsive, argumentative, and quick-tempered, Pere is not exactly an expert diplomat--she often finds herself working alone, usually due to her remarkably unwelcoming nature. Perhaps because of this, she does not seem overly interested in making friends, claiming that it's far less hassle to not get involved with people who--let's face it--are probably bound to leave or do something stupid to hurt you later on. On occasion, though, all the snark and retorts will ebb away and leave her sullen but quiet and drained, suggesting that this attitude was ground into her over time rather than an innately born trait.

In all honesty, while it is easier for her simply to argue or complain rather than invest time into discussing things earnestly, Pere is rarely ever mean purely for the sake of being mean. Sure, sometimes she'll twist a fact or find a little loophole to ensure an end result, but overall she seems to know where the line lays between unpleasantness and outright felon, and she will ardently strive to stay well clear on this side of the line, and to give a hard time to those across it. In this interest, she places great value in her own strength, pushing to excel in close physical combat. On the flipside she has come to detest the very notion of being "feminine purely for gender norm's sake", and aside from the occasional wistful, sneaking glance at a quietly appealing garment or accessory she seems determined to maintain the demeanor of a tough tomboy.

Despite her stubborn insistence on being left alone, Pere does still have a more vulnerable, less caustic element to her nature; she's not ignorant to the negative aspects of forced isolation, and for all her loner can-do attitude she still goes through spells of low esteem and lessened eagerness to retort in connection to her inevitable, periodic loneliness. She can also be rather sensitive at times when her capability as a fighter is brought to question, and heck, depending on the circumstances it's even possible to make her feel dirty and loathsome simply for not being as charming or pretty as other, more graceful Pokemon.

Should some other Pokemon, by some unlikely circumstance, be able to somehow worm their way through her barbed shell and prove themselves as not only "not annoying", but someone whose presence is both enjoyed and useful, Pere will come around to be a staunch, fierce friend and defender, turning her searing wrath instead against whomever tries to give said partner a hard time. With time, she may even soften up enough around a partner to start turning out witty commentary or jokes on things happening nearby at the time.

Should said friendliness lead up to attempts at wooing or flirting, however, Pere will not hesitate to bluntly shoot the other person down. No use sugarcoating things.

» History: Pere was born to a Luxray dojo worker mother, and a treasure-hunting Arcanine father (the source of Pere's Double Kick attack, through his own Nidoking father) a short ways outside of Rainfront Town. While some might think she grew up living a life of excitement and adventure as a result, as it was all that really happened was that Pere was more often stuck at home with her mother while her father went off on jobs most of the time to bring home money for the family. Although Pere would try and get involved with things at the dojo where her mother worked (at least to pass the time and learn something useful, if nothing else), there really wasn't much else to break up the monotony of having a father constantly away and a mother who tended to spend more time at work than at home. Things didn't much improve when, a few years later, her then-distanced parents sought a divorce; Dad departed to return to his treasure hunting lifestyle full-time, and Mom eventually met another partner and went on to start a new family.

Needless to say, for whatever reason, Pere was not given very much attention from either of her parents. The frustrated and lonely Shinx cub did try for a while to rectify this, scheming up ways to force attention and, as time went on, even getting into trouble with the other local kids as a desperate gamble to be focused on just for a while. As it happened, this really succeeded only at irritating her mother more than anything else, and after a while Pere finally just gave up and resigned herself to being a set-aside "undesirable".

It'd be nice if things improved at all after that, but for the most part Pere spent her next several years just getting by, rarely ever really talking to her mother or her "new" family anymore and learning to toughen herself up as other Pokemon her age started finding reasons to take issue with her. Eventually she came of age to leave home and strike out on her own, and--by then sick of the humid little coastal town--set her sights on the nearby village of Grassveil town. She wasn't exactly sure what she had in mind to do once there--maybe she could become a Rescuer, maybe she would just be able to start over as a civilian with a less bothersome life--but one thing was for sure, whatever was over there had to be a heck of a lot better than things were at home.

» Other: Amperia is something of a reincarnation of an old fic OC of mine, and for that reason is one that I've come to love dearly. For that reason, should something happen to make me go inactive or delete my account for whatever reason, I would like to request that she be taken down entirely rather than put up for adoption. Thank you kindly ahead of time.
