Name: Constance Plinth
Age: 11 2/3 Hometown: Butterfree Farm, Barley. Appearance: Constance, known as Connie, is tall for her age and plump. She has blue, wavy hair that is usually scraped back from her face in a messy pony tail. She has blue eyes and a slightly wonky smile. Her skin is usually tanned and freckled from being outside on the farm so much. Her favourite outfit consists of her old blue denim dungarees with the worn hems where she never bothers to roll them up enough and walks on the backs. They used to belong to her older sister, Ruth. She has a pair of sturdy boots that are generally muddy, thick flaffy wool socks that were knitted by her grandmother, and a brightly coloured tie-dyed t-shirt. Her coat is too big for her. It is long, leather, and was probably dark purple at some point. It is now faded and browned and has been decorated with a picture of a Gyrados painted on the back. Connie loves it, even if a good third of the length of the sleeves have to be rolled up to keep her hands clear. Personality: Connie desperately wants to be like the women she has grown up with: calm, capable, strong, loving and kind. She... manages loving and kind. She is both clumsy and messy (and this is not helped by the hand-me down clothes and sensible boots). She is indecisive and is very likely to second-guess any decision she does manage to make. She is helpful and studious, enjoying her lessons as much as she enjoys being out working on the farm. She is not strong but is determined not to be reliant on anyone else. When she was five, she insisted on carrying a pail of moo moo milk for her grandmother. She could just about lift it with both hands. After three steps, she was wobbling alarmingly but refused to put it down. After she had accidentally kicked it for the fifth time as she shuffled and huffed her way across the yard, she tripped over her own feet and sat down in a puddle with milk splashing all over her lap. She still insisted on making it all the way into the dairy, however; she was helping. She likes to look after people and pokemon. She loves getting up in the middle of the night to help with the baby mareeps during the lambing season, even if it does leave her tired and yawning all day afterwards. As she is the older of the two, Connie sees it as her job to look after Verity. She tends to finish her chores quickly, so that she can go and find Verity and help her with whatever she's doing. Connie makes sure she and Verity always have everything ready for lessons, knowing that Verity would most likely sit down to maths without a pencil or paper if Connie didn't make sure they were ready for her. Biography: Connie lives on Butterfree Farm, just inland from Barley. The farm is home to a large group of women, including Connie's mother and grandmother, Connie's best friend, Verity, and Verity's mother. They are as close to self-sufficient as they can manage, growing crops and raising pokemon. Many of the girls raised on the farm come back there when they are grown up and live there, like Connie's mother did. Connie's grandmother, Temperance, was among the first arrivals in the region, fifty years ago. Temperance came with the artist, bringing with her her Miltank, Blaziken and Amphoros. She originally founded the farm, and gathered a group of like-minded women, not just from the artist's retinue but also from the Amazon tribes. Verity and Connie have never been to school. In the mornings, Connie feeds the Torchics before breakfast and then, after the early morning jobs have been done, all of the children have lessons around the big kitchen table. They are taught by Emerance, an elderly artist who is too frail to do much around the farm anymore. After lunch, they help around the farm. The first pokemon that Connie obtained was a torchic. On her tenth birthday, her mother came with her to the morning feed and helped her to choose an egg. She kept it snuggled up warm inside her jumper, carrying it carefully around until it hatched. No small feat for a girl as clumsy as Connie! When it hatched, Torchie (Connie does not have much imagination) followed Connie everywhere, as if Connie was its mother. Connie's next pokemon was a baby Mareep whose mother had died when it was born. She fed it moo moo milk every two hours, waking up in the middle of the night to make sure it was fed. Mary the Mareep can often be seen trailing around the farm yard after Connie with Torchie on her back. Just last week, when Verity was collecting honey from the hives, Connie noticed a little female Combee buzzing around. They took the honey in to breakfast and Connie decided if the new Combee hadn't flown off to start her own colony by the time they finished their lesson, she would try to catch it. It took a while, as Torchie and Mareep were at a lower level than the Combee, but eventually Connie was able to throw the net ball that har grandmother had given her and she caught a wild pokemon for the first time. Connie has been spending time coaxing Mary and Torchie into pokeballs, ready for her pokemon journey. She has finally managed it, after her mother laughingly gave in and dug out a couple of luxury balls she had bought and never used during her own pokemon journey.
