Biography

+ show Giselle's Home

Giselle was born and raised in the Principality of Merécu, a tiny coastal region just south of Kalos. It is commonly referred to as Seacrown City as it consists solely of that city. However, it is one of the most prosperous regions in the world. This is due to a number of factors. One of which being the population consisting of almost exclusively the wealthy; A factor kept constant due to the elimination of taxes. A second factor being the bustling tourism industry. A great number of people come to Seacrown city for it's pristine beaches, extravagant shops, or the third factor: gambling. Ever since gambling was legalized in Merécu, it has drawn in a lot of tourists and high rollers seeking a piece of the action. And of course, the government has been making bank on all of this. After All: The house always wins.

One of the biggest events for tourists in Seacrown is finding the eight Hidden Gyms. Like any other region, Merécu has a pokemon league, with gyms, an elite 4, and a champion. However, instead of trekking around to different cities, a trainer has to find them all in one. Naturally, the prizes for each gym are extravagant and become far greater, the more badges you obtain. Collect all 8, and you may enter the palace. Each of the elite four has an arena prepared within the palace, as well as a noble title of some sort. Naturally, the acting champion is the owner of the palace and sovereign of the region: Prince Philbert Régis Lionel II. Naturally, whoever completes this challenge will have a number of extraordinary prizes and a good deal of money. However: any loss along the way will cost you half your winnings.

Each of the Hidden Gyms is located in a seemingly normal location that gets a lot of visitors. A good example of this is the Marinette Fishery, which at one time was owned and run by Giselle's father. It contains a maze of conveyor-belts, which if properly traversed will lead to a water type gym, just out of view. Currently though, it has no permanent leader. The fishery itself is one of the older buildings in the region, but has a had a number of more modern upgrades over the years; As under Arthur's care, the company has become a great deal more successful, as well as geared more towards innovation, as well as maintaining clean water and stable fish populations. However, their current direction is unknown.

Giselle herself, lives across the bay from the fishery, in a sizable waterfront villa. It has a small staff that handles cooking cleaning, and day to day maintenance in rotating shifts. Despite it's lavish exterior, however, Giselle's father prefered a more relaxed and casual atmosphere. So, the interior has somewhat of a middle class contemporary decor, and the staff tend to have more of a laid back attitude towards their jobs. Each of them could be considered to know Giselle on a personal level. Not simply because of the more relaxed roles, but because she often had no one else around to talk to.

There are two rooms within the villa that don't adhere to the modest aesthetic standards. The first and most obvious is Giselle's room. It is uniquely posh and laden with frills, drawings, pokedolls, among other things. It is very much an 11 year old girl's fantasy room come to life. She has recently set up a corner with a small library and array of computers and machine parts. She also keeps a large aquarium tank for Fraise. The other such room is a guest room along the western side. It is unofficially set up for exclusive use by Giselle's mother. As such, it is more decadent, with finer furnishings and a number of conveniences, such as a fully stocked minibar.

Giselle was born into outstanding fortune. Her father, Arthur Marinette, ran the most successful fishing company in in not just Merécu, but Kalos and a number of other regions. So, she has never wanted for anything. Especially since her father tended to be the doting sort. Her mother, however, was a bit less involved. Jean Renée, wasn't mean or cruel, just had no interest in being a mother. She would visit occasionally, spend time with Giselle, even teach her how to get people to do what she wants. But she always treated Giselle more like a niece or younger sister than a daughter. To Giselle, it didn't matter much, though. Her father cared about her, and that was enough.

Of course, her upbringing spoiled her, a bit. She was used to getting what she wanted, either through having enough money or just turning on the charm. She wasn't the sort to shout or have tantrums, she knew better. But if the situation called for it, she had the nuclear option: crying. Her outlook made it so that cuteness was one of the most important things in life. So, she would often buy or even make adorable clothes or stuffed animals, and show them off. The Villa staff more or less accepted her little showcases as a part of their job.

Her various creations helped make her popular at school. Not that she needed the boost. Most of the students at Roseraie Academy are the kids of major players around seacrown or movers and shakers from other regions. So even there, Giselle's lineage holds weight. Sure, some kids thought she was snobby or didn't live in the real world, etc. But most were easily swayed by her bright smile and attitude. Anyone worth their salt tends to gravitate towards her. However, she doesn't get along with absolutely everyone. The fastest way to get on her bad side is to criticize her father or his company. Especially after what happened a year ago.

Giselle's father was a very busy man, and despite doting on Giselle when he was around. He often had to work late or leave the region on business trips. One day he left for such a trip to the orange archipelago …and didn't come back. His ship sank in the middle of the ocean. He of course, was an expert swimmer and had brought several well trained water pokemon with him, but the waters were volatile and he used his pokemon to save as many people as he could. When help finally arrived on the scene, nobody could find him. Not even a body, despite coast guard searching for weeks afterwards. So, while not legally yet legally declared dead, everyone is fairly certain.

Giselle was utterly devastated, withdrawing from her friends, skipping school, and avoiding other social environments. Her father's business partners saw fit to arrange a caretaker for her. Not without ulterior motives, mind you. The company has been in her family for generations and her father was as savvy a business shark as they come. Everyone anticipates her to take take over the company when she comes of age and be just as sharp. That was never really what she wanted, but only her father knew that.

The man hired to look after Giselle was Whitley Westfield, from the company's legal division. He had no family or other matters to deal with, and he served as her legal counsel. Giselle of course, hated him. He tried his best to get closer to her and groom her into a proper successor, but she just felt he was trying to replace her father and make her into something she wasn't. He forced her back into school, gave her extra tutoring on water pokemon and running a business. He even tried to teach her how to swim, but that didn't end well. She nearly drowned, but took home a frillish. Eventually, Giselle just started trying to avoid Whitley. She knew the town fairly well and all of the best places to hide. And occasionally she would just go out and fish along the coast.

Finally, one day, she just didn't come home at all. Whitley tried all of her usual spots, contacted several friends and the like, even had the villa staff search for her, but she was nowhere to be found until the next day. She had made her way into her father's hidden gym, where she beat a challenger with her fathers' pokemon. She had at the same time, amassed a number of her own. People asked what happened to her and where she went, but she has been fairly tight lipped about the issue. However, she looked like she had gone through a great ordeal, with sharp yet haggard eyes, as well as a tattered lab coat and scarf. After that day, she has hit the books a bit harder, studying technology as well as unique pokemon and dabbling into parapsychology and the occult.

Relationships

Name: Arthur Marinette Info: While he was alive, Arthur was a doting father to Giselle, the cunning CEO one of the most successful fishing companies in the world. In addition, he ran a pokemon gym on the side. He was very passionate about the sea and water pokemon, which lead him to pushing for innovation in cleaner running fishing vessels and tracking fish populations. Sadly, nearly a year ago, his ship sank while he was out at sea on business and his body was never recovered.He was extremely close with Giselle, always spending time with her, whenever he could. (which wasn't as often as either liked, but still.) He usually showered Giselle with presents and did whatever she wanted, but occasionally he would take her out on fishing trips to "bond". Giselle found them boring, but still liked spending time with her dad. She still occasionally goes fishing to remember him. Main Pokemon: Nes (Lapras), Mr. Kippers (Swampert), Mimi (Starmie) Theme Song: Memories of You

Name: Jean Renée Prescott Info: A small time actress/con artist that met Arthur at a party and had a one night stand. She was utterly surprised to learn she was pregnant but used it to her advantage. While she never had a substantial relationship with Arthur, she got close enough to get favors out of him when she needed it. When Giselle was actually born, Jean stayed around for a bit, but eventually went off, leaving her in Arthur's care. Jean of course came back when she needed something, and even the occasional holiday, but even Giselle always knew Jean didn't want a family life. She much preferred traveling and working her way to stardom. The two aren't exactly close, either, but Jean still throws Giselle a few tidbits of what she considers "motherly wisdom". Mostly things like how to get her way and how to read people. She spent a bit more time with Giselle after Arthur's death, actually acting as her parent for the first time that Giselle has known, but eventually passing the buck to Whitley. What she will never tell anyone is that she went through Whitley's background top to bottom and worked him over to make sure he was on the level and wouldn’t just take advantage of Giselle. Main Pokemon: Venus (Mawile) Theme Song: Perfect Day

Name: Whitley Westfield Info: An up and coming member of Marinette Fishery's legal department. Shortly after Arthur's death, he was chosen by the board of directors to take on the duties of Giselle's legal guardian and counsel. …at a significant pay raise and promises of future promotion, of course. He doesn't have a family of his own, but is supposedly "good with kids", so he's moved into Giselle's home to take care of her and groom her to be the "perfect successor" for the company. However, Giselle has been very apprehensive around him, and trying to avoid him since he became her guardian. He's managed to give her extra lessons on pokemon, technology, and running a business, but never really got past her animosity towards him. Particularly because she fears he wants to replace her dad. Main Pokemon: n/a Theme Song: Theme of D4

Name: Luna Lionel Info: A 13 year old girl attending the middle school branch of Roseraie Academy, the same school as Giselle. She befriended Giselle primarily due to their similar interests in cute things and reading. Luna absolutely adores everything frilly or sweet or fairy-like, and reads fairytales religiously. Naturally, she herself comes from a prestigious family as well. She is the daughter of Prince Philbert Régis Lionel II, making her a princess and first in line for the throne. She has a great degree of skill at training pokemon, which has earned her a spot among the region’s elite four. However, aside from that one skill, she is fairly aloof and scatterbrained. She has more or less modeled herself after fairytale princesses and firmly believes that fairies have "chosen" her and speak to her through stories. Because of this, many have placed doubts in her ability to rule. Main Pokemon: Pepper (Wigglytuff) Theme Song: 0 Week Old

Name: Alban Alanzo Info: An older gentleman with a dark brown complexion trendy white hair, and a finely tailored gray suit. He owns and manages Hotel de Alanzo, the most famous and extravagant hotel in the Merécu region. Like Giselle’s father, he leads one of the 8 Hidden Gyms of Seacrown City. He was close friends with Giselle’s late father, and tends to be fairly welcoming to her, as well. He somewhat feels he owes it to Arthur to check in on her from time to time and make sure she turns out alright. She unwittingly makes this task a bit easier by frequenting the hotel as one of her hiding places from Whitley. His persian, Kitty, also seems quite fond of Giselle. Main Pokemon: Kitty (Persian) Theme Song: Philosophy in a Tea Cup

Name: Theodore "Ted" Edmund Klein Info: A nerdy college graduate from the Unova region, trying to stumble his way up the corporate ladder. At present, he just barely makes enough money to stay in a tiny overcrowded apartment in Seacrown City, with 6 other guys. However, he dreams of having his own permanent residence. He originally got the job to get closer to Gilles, a marine biologist he liked, but eventually realized they had nothing in common. He has a tendency to act before he thinks and get in over his head. The only reason he still has his job is his superiors mistake this trait for "initiative" and "guts", of which he really has neither. Currently, he has a rather obvious crush on Glacia, a member of Merécu's elite 4. His coworkers all tell him she is out of his league. Especially Gilles, but he just might be a bit jealous. Ted has very little connection to Giselle, aside from the fact that she has been frequenting his department for machine parts and books. He is the weakest willed in the staff, so she occassionally forces him to follow her orders. Main Pokemon: Eyez (Wingull), Zip Drive (Porygon) Theme Song: All Star (Nightcore)

Biography
Giselle’s first pokémon, a cheerfully poker faced jellyish ghost. While it is nearly impossible to tell what Fraise is thinking due to her perma-smile she seems fairly attached to Giselle and has grown accustomed to being carried and pampered. She tends to loosely follow orders, but will occasionally forget things, unless food is involved. She can be fairly affectionate, often hugging or fondling others. While she tends to get along well with most people and pokemon, she can be a bit protective of Giselle. They initially met when Giselle was being swept away in a riptide and Fraise clung onto her. Giselle is absolutely certain that Fraise was sent by her father to save her life and be her friend. Whitley insists that the frillish just thought Giselle was easy prey, but got caught up in the riptide as well. Only Fraise knows the truth, and isn’t telling.

Biography
A fairly easy going porygon with sensitive ears. He enjoys leisurely slipping around digital devices, curling up with a good txt file, or taking a nap. He typically stays near his trainer, but occasionally wanders onto the net. Because of this, he often brings back stray data packets or bits of code that seem pretty. While willing to help Giselle in combat, Sonique prefers helping her with code or other technological matters over getting into fights. Giselle found him as a porygon bursting out of a computer after getting enraged by a screeching spewpa. She managed to calm him down after the screeching stopped with a bit of petting and a kiss on the forehead. After she made him a pair of earmuffs to keep out loud noises, he grew attached and decided to join her on his own. In place of a pokeball, Giselle opts to keep him in a Pokédex she had custom made for this purpose, among others. Very recently she finished coding the upgrade disc needed for him to evolve.

Biography
A relatively new capture for Giselle. This dragonair was found poisoned and fearful by a stream out in the wilderness. Vellevête is somewhat prideful and difficult to command; although this is mainly due to the conflict between his masculine nature and Giselle's feminine impulses. Despite this, he still follows Giselle around and responds to her. However, due to his circumstances, he jumps at the chance to assert his masculinity.
