{N}ame: Gardenia
{A}ge: 21
{G}ender: Female
{W}hereabouts: Eterna City, Sinnoh
{B}irthdate: April 13th, 1990
{T}rainer class: Gym Leader
{P}okemon: Breloom, Roserade, Cherrim, Turtwig, Foongus
{H}istory: Gardenia was born into a pretty standard, middleclass home, her father was a garbage man, and her mother wrote a gardening column in the Eterna Gazette. Many of the townsfolk knew the trio as "hippies" due to their deep care for the earth and hefty recycling bins. In fact, Gardenia's father would often root through people's trash during his shift to sort out the recyclables.
Gardenia was homeschooled by her mother, and was given extreme freedom to be whoever she wanted. Gardenia would play in the Eterna forest much of the time, where she befriended pokemon and learned how beautiful and valuable mother nature was. However, in that forest she also gained a phobia of ghost type pokemon due to the ghastly that would come from the Manor to frighten her. One day, a Budew followed her home from the woods and she kept it ever since.
Gardenia decided to attend a standard public high school in lieu of a pokemon journey. She became very active in the school community: She was class representative, on the yearbook and newspaper staffs, she was a thespian, and officer of the gardening and pokemon rights clubs. She could be found protesting lab testing on pokemon and picketing the cutting down of trees in the Eterna forest. Through all of this, she also caught and trained grass type pokemon.
When Gardenia finished high school, she had the option of going to several prestigious universities, but turned every scholarship offer down to become the apprentice of the Eterna gym leader. With him, she refined her skills and became a true master of Grass type pokemon. When the old man passed, she took over the gym as her own.
{P}ersonality: Gardenia is a busy body. She always has several things going on and several different things to do, she hates having too much free time, as she really doesn't know what to do with it. In wake of this, she is very organized. Gardenia is also extremely creative and good with problem solving. She enjoys acting, dancing, arts and crafts, sculpting, writing, and gymnastics in addition to her pokemon training. She is very conscious of the earth and tries to leave as small of a carbon footprint as possible. She's also very good at communicating with pokemon, she can understand them thoroughly, but not telepathically. She is a vegetarian.
Gardenia is bold and daring, never afraid to try new things. Aside from ghosts, she doesn't have many fears. She is optimistic and persevering, never willing to give up a fight until she knows she's lost. Because of this, she's very stubborn and really doesn't like it when things don't go her way. She loves to give out gym badges, as she wants to help challengers along on their journeys. However, she's a very sore loser when it comes to battling against other gym leaders. Sometimes, her desire to help gets her in sticky situations, as she will recklessly rush head-first into the predicament without thinking. This isn't to say she isn't intelligent, however, she graduated at the top of her class.
She is a little bit of a tomboy, and dating is at the bottom of her list of priorities.
