» Personality: Cecíl is surprisingly emotional for how left-brained she can be. She’s very good at business, but she believes in some things so strongly that she might concede to let them get in the way of her business. She can be cold and even outwardly mean on the outside, but she tends to store those qualities of herself when it counts. Cecíl has always been the more sensible one between herself and Penny, but after the incident with the rescue team Cecíl has lost some of her redeeming childlike sparkle and hope. She doesn’t believe in things like she used to, her whole world now cloaked in a blanket of harsh reality.

» Likes:

Penny: Penny the Mincinno is Cecíl’s best friend, someone she’s grown up with and cherishes. Though their ideals differ greatly, Cecíl would concede her beliefs to support Penny in her endeavors. Hence, why Cecíl has come to Grassveil town to realize Penny’s dream for her while Penny works up the money to also move.

Dancing in the Rain: Cecíl has pretty neutral feelings towards dancing and rain on their own, but put them together and they become one of Cecíl’s favorite things. She loves to feel like she’s denying the rain the sad, gloomy atmosphere it wants by performing a lively dance right in the middle of it. The cool rain also helps to soothe Cecíl’s body, making her able to be much more fluid and loose while she dances.

Organized Buisness and Chaos: Cecíl feels that you can’t have organized business and sustained growth without a little bit of something unorganized thrown in. She believes that chaos and bad situations leads to opportunities. This is the principle that led her to start a service for people she doesn’t really like (well, the reason other than the fact that Penny was involved in creating it). She may not like rescue teams, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like the opportunities their existence presents.

» Dislikes:

Rescue Teams and their Members: After being played by rescue teams in the past, Cecíl no longer holds them in any sort of high regard. All she can see is the flaws of having them, and feels that those flaws outweigh any redeeming qualities.

Small Minds: Cecíl isn’t a fan of pokemon who don’t think big. She knows they have to exist, but she doesn’t understand why some pokemon might be content with just staying in a comfortable area and never striving for something more. She understands enjoying stability, but she’ll never quite agree with it.

Being Away from Penny: Cecíl didn’t really want to leave Penny behind, but Penny was so vehemently insisting that she go and enjoy the new experience that Cecíl just couldn’t say no. Cecíl is determined to see the new service through because of this. She wants to use the money she earns from working to bring Penny down to Grassveil, as well.

» History: Cecíl started out in a small village with her father, a business man Cacturne who sold various tools and hardware to the surrounding towns, and her mother, a Lilligant florist. They never really mentioned to Cecíl that she was a shiny pokemon since neither of them ever really noticed. Her colors were very similar to the colors of the other Petilil children and they were typically too busy to pay attention to such a minor detail as color. Since both her parents owned their own businesses, Cecíl was exposed to a lot of business and developing an interest at a very young age. She picked up on a lot of entrepreneurship skills from them, and began practicing it with berry juice stands and baked goods sales. That was when she met Penny, a shiny Mincinno that lived on her street.

It was Penny who helped Cecíl when Cecíl first learned she was shiny, when the kids in their school first started to make a big deal out of it. Cecíl wasn't used to feeling any different from normal pokemon; she had never had a reason to feel that way. She had never really considered herself any different, and neither had her parents. Penny helped her to understand that she didn't have to be any different than she already was despite the different color of her leaves. With Penny's constant reinforcement and kindness, Cecíl easily overcame and rose above the unwanted attention and the mockery of her peers. Penny became Cecil's most cherished and trusted friend. Penny even became interested in Cecil's fascination with business, and this led to Penny becoming involved with Cecil's practices herself. Cecíl couldn't imagine a life without Penny anymore.

Despite her great respect for businesses, there was one that Cecíl could never fully appreciate. Rescue teams. She just couldn't understand how they worked or why they worked the way they did. Did they want to be a paid service? Did they want to be good Samaritans? It was like they were trying and failing to have it both ways. If they needed money, why not just set modest prices instead of expecting rewards and pretending it was out of the kindness of other pokemon's hearts? The popularity of rescue teams and their guilds boggled Cecil's mind. Her biggest quarrel came when she and Penny got lost in a leafy labyrinth one day following the instructions of a couple of pokemon they had asked for directions. Penny, who absolutely adored rescue teams, suggested they put out a request for help. The team who answered their call was made up of the very pokemon who had given them the incorrect directions in the first place. Cecíl was infuriated by their negligence but even MORE furious when they still accepted the reward once he mission was over. Penny thought nothing of it, but Cecíl would never think well of rescue teams again.

Soon after, Penny approached Cecíl with an idea for their very own independent service based on the exploits of the rescue teams. Cecíl was unimpressed and hesitant at first, but soon she saw that it was actually a great opportunity and the service was actually something that could be in high demand. However, between the two pokemon, they only had enough funds to get one pokemon to their target guild: the guild of Grassveil town. Cecíl tried to convince Penny to go and realize her ambition, promising that she would make enough money to join her soon. Penny really believed that it needed to be the other way around however, and soon Cecíl begrudgingly agreed. She then left for Grassveil to set up shop, swearing up and down that she would bring in the money to bring Penny back to her.
