Background

Jade is a Pokémon Trainer hailing from Viridian City who was dragged into a conspiracy involving rival factions of Team Rocket vying for control of the Legendary Pokemon. She spent several months training as part of a secret, anti-Team Rocket rebellion. While she did become much stronger, her time spent there left her with considerable trauma.

Jade has a shy, awkward personality and doesn't do well with conflict. She tries to do her best to support others, but it can be hard when she's surrounded by so many strong, stubborn personalities, both human and Pokémon.

RP guidelines

Not much in particular--a lot of things make her uncomfortable but she's also pretty bad at expressing this, so she usually will just change the subject or something. It'd be pretty hard for her to get *so* uncomfortable that she'd bail on a scene entirely, and I can easily give heads up well before she gets to that point.

Exceptional move

Assist - It's legal for Meowth, and fits the Pokemon trainer vibe of "drawing upon the party's strength."

Umbral move: Umbral Determinism

May raise the user's Acc by 2 and inflicts Fated, which allows the user and target to mutually target one another with ranged moves from 2 zones away. The user retreats after dealing damage.

Jade's Shadow is constantly reminding her that she never had a real choice. Despite agreeing to join the fight against Team Rocket and ally with the legendaries, the decision was already made for her by circumstance. She's involved, no mater how badly she wishes otherwise.

Her Shadow manifests through retreat moves because her desire to be free from these forced choices is her biggest repression. Fated status is the ultimate representation of being linked to someone who can hurt you, a concept that weighs on her back home.
