» Personality:
Cana is pretty shy and doesn't trust others easily. When meeting new people she normally would not talk to them unless they talk to her first. When someone she doesn't know or trust enough yet starts to ask her personal questions, she gets really uncomfortable and either tries to change the subject or get away.

Cana can get pretty emotional and sensitive if she gets insulted or is unable to do something. When something is bothering her, she tends to be pretty quiet and lost in thoughts, making her unable to concentrate on what she is doing or what she has to do. She might be hesitant about telling others what is wrong at first but with enough patience her friends should be able to persuade her.

» Likes:
Cana loves music. She also loves to sing. Even if nobody would want to listen. It was one of the few ways to calm herself down when provoked or sad. It often makes her feel better.

Cana is fascinated with fire. She pretty much loves playing with fire. In the past she did burn down a few things so she learned to be more careful.

Rain. Even though she is a fire pokemon, Cana loves the rain. The sound always calms her down and it feels pretty nice on her body when it doesn’t rain too much. It still isn’t good for her fire attacks though.

Stories. She often read those to her siblings and she loved them. Especially stories about great adventures and tales of love are her favorites.

Children. Always having to take care of her younger siblings she really grew fond of children.

» Dislikes:
Being ordered around. Cana really hates it when others do that. It angers her pretty often and it is one of the ways to provoke her.

Talking about her past. She believes the past is irrelevant. People don’t need to know about her life before she started traveling. When people ask she will mostly try to change subject.

Using fire moves in forests or burnable buildings. Because she doesn’t want to burn a whole forest down and get pokemon killed.

Socializing. She really hates meeting new people. They often scare her or make her feel uncomfortable. She much rather spends her time alone or with good friends she is comfortable with.

Being stared at in her eyes. For some unexplainable reason it always makes her feel uncomfortable. It makes her feel like they are judging her or like they can see inside her heart that way or the like. She especially avoids people their gaze when lying.

» History:
Cana was born in a big family. Being the oldest, she often had to help take care of her siblings. But her parents took advantage of that and often left her to take care of her siblings alone. In the beginning she didn’t mind but she didn’t have time to go out anymore or play with friends. Because of that, her friends got angry at her and eventually stopped talking to her. Cana was really sad when they kept disappearing out of her life one by one. That was when she started arguing with her parents. She wanted to be able to go out and play again but her parents wanted her to just keep taking care of her siblings. Her parents almost never were home and when they were, they only looked at her younger siblings. They didn’t pay any attention to her. She felt so sad and alone. She didn’t want her siblings to worry so she often hid her feelings and never talked to them about her troubles. But she also didn’t let it show because she didn’t want others to know her pain. As time went on, the arguments kept getting worse and often ended up in fights. She often ended up running outside out of anger. Sometimes she ran outside in the rain. In the beginning she hated it but she eventually came to love it. That was one of the times nobody would be able to see her crying.

During that time she also developed a fascination for fire. She would often put things on fire and just watch the flames dancing around. She never knew why. Maybe because she thought the fire looked so pretty or maybe because of how it just is never still. She always did it in secret. It did end up bad a few times though. She pretty much almost burned down the house twice and part of the forest behind her home got completely burned down. It was a real disaster. Pokemon died in the forest fire. She has been feeling guilty ever since. Her family was really angry at her for that too. Since then she has been a bit scared to burn things down again. Her fascination for fire didn’t change though.

Eventually the fights got out of hand. She refused to do what her parents told her to anymore. Because of that, she got beaten down and her siblings were getting involved too. Cana decided it would be best to leave. When her parents where away again she packed her stuff and left, without saying goodbye to her siblings. Since then she has been traveling around aimlessly. She still has no idea what she wants to do but she will figure that out eventually.

» Other: Nothing I can think of. Except she likes to eat twigs.

As a side note, Coaster approved the natural feat, so that's good.

I completely redid my personality. I hope this will be better now.

Alright, I'm gonna break down your personality sentence by sentence to highlight the problems.

Cana is pretty shy and doesn't trust others easily. Good
When meeting new people she normally would not talk to them unless they talk to her first. Good
She is able to do some shopping but can still be a bit awkward. What?
It normally takes some time before she starts warming up to others. Good
When someone she doesn't know or trust enough yet starts to ask her personal questions, she gets really uncomfortable and either tries to change the subject or get away. Starting to repeat yourself on her shyness. I would suggest removing the previous "Good" sentence and keeping this one.
She is normally very hesitant about helping strangers but she loves helping friends. Good
She also can't stand by when a child is in trouble. Good, though kinda tacked on.
She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she did. Perhaps instead of having this and the previous sentence, simply add "and children" to the end of the sentence above these two.
Cana normally doesn't care for others. Why?
Not because she doesn't want to but because she isn't able to. Eh?
It doesn't mean she doesn't try. Eh?
If you would try to explain what it is like to care for someone, she wouldn't be able to understand. Ok you've lost me on the whole "not caring for other's" thing now.
It does make her a bit sad though. But doesn't she not care?
It makes her wonder if she actually has a heart. Pretty sure the helping friends and children thing says "yes" to having a heart.
She doesn't like showing her emotions but sadly for her, she is an open book. How is she an open book? She a cry baby? She speak before she thinks?
She always feels she is bothering others when she would tell them something is bothering her so she crops it up. Yet peeps know something's up cause she's an open book?
When friends ask her what is wrong she will not tell at first but eventually will after some persuading. Tacked on, if she's an open book/easily persuaded by friends, it should be explained right after the sentence you mention her being an open book, not towards the end.
Cana is also pretty over-emotional. Good
She can get really frustrated when she isn't able to do something. Like use a spoon? Or breathe underwater? Is there a boundary where she doesn't care and does or will anything she can't do frustrate her?
Then she can act out her frustrations on others. This a bit more elaboration on the "open book" thing? If so, it might be best to simply tack on the emotional (I wouldn't say over) with the sentence I told you to move. Such as "...easily persuaded as well as being somewhat emotional and sensitive if she is insulted or unable to do something (change something here to whatever specifics you want, though keep it condensed to a few words)."
She does feel guilty when she does though. So does she care about others or not?Cause guilt = caring.
Whenever someone insults her or criticizes her she mostly becomes sad and she might end up crying. Sentence unneeded as I gave an example of what you could do above with the frustration.
She is normally pretty easy to cheer up but she can be feeling bad for a while. This sentence contradicts itself, please just remove it or edit it to better clarify what you mean.

Ok, so the personality has improved, it's just a bit jumbled and stretched out when not needed. If you have any questions, don't hesistate to ask.

Ok, I changed things like you said. I hope I did it right.
