{N}ame: Maylene
{A}ge: 15
{G}ender: Female
{W}hereabouts: Veilstone City
{B}irthdate: April 11, 1996
{T}rainer class: Gym Leader
{P}okemon: Hitmontop, Breloom, Medicham, Machamp, Lucario
{H}istory: Maylene was born and raised in Iron Island, where her father was a miner. Her starter was a Riolu, which she hatched from an egg given to her by Riley. When the mines closed, the family moved to Veilstone, where her father looked unsuccessfully for a job. Like many others under hard times, he became addicted to gambling and spends his time in the Game Corner. Maylene and her Riolu (which later evolved into a Lucario) took to battling and won a position as Gym Leader of Veilstone. She provides the income for her entire household. Maylene is also extremely respected for her strength, although people often underestimate her for her young age. Recently she's been visiting the Johto region.
{P}ersonality: She's a fairly innocent young girl, who is guided by her instincts and morals more than reason. She's easily confused and completely unsure of herself- she's still not convinced that she deserves the position of Gym Leader, and often wishes that she could travel and be free like other trainers her age. Maylene's also very blunt, can't keep a secret, and will not hesitate to Hi-Jump Kick your butt off herself. She is also a voracious eater, and will devour your entire refrigerator. Fair warning!
{C}reator: Annie!
{S}how me your skills: I play Jasmine on Poketumblr, and I've got a bit of experience. This is excerpted from another RP where I also played Maylene!

Maylene aimed a kick at a pebble on pavement, her hands curled into fists. Typically this action would cause a minor injury or a painful stubbed toe for a person without shoes, but Maylene continued unaffected.
“He’s such a dummy,” she said knowingly. “Just like all these guys…” She sighed and motioned to the herds of intoxicated men loitering in the street, boasting of their latest scores. Suddenly she faltered, noticing an out-of-place, sweet-looking girl in their vicinity. Fear and bewilderment was written all over her face. Veilstone was home to many crooks, thieves, and gamblers; this was especially apparent because of the thorned Team Galactic building, ominously looming over the city. The frail girl seemed to wilt in the shadows.
Without any premeditation, Maylene tore off towards her direction, her rib-cage thumping uncontrollably. She pushed off the ground wildly; mid-leap, she wondered if this was a smart idea. She barely heard a gambler say, “Hey, baby-” when the impact of her foot into his jaw knocked the words out of his mouth.
The gambler, holding his jaw tenderly, advanced towards Maylene furiously while releasing a string of swear words. “What the heck Maylene? I wasn’t doing anything! What’s wrong with you?” Then a unexpected blur of navy and black collided into him, this time into his leg. Injured twice, the gambler retreated bitterly.
Ah! She had forgotten about the girl! Feeling a pair of eyes watching her, Maylene felt extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable.
“I’m so sorry! I’m so- I- are you okay? Uhm, I’m Maylene…”
