Name: Shannon Willows
Faction: Neutral
Hometown: Ecruteak City
Age: 21 (birthday: April 12)
Appearance: Shannon has wavy, dirty-blonde hair that falls about a quarter of the way between her shoulder and elbow. Her hair will occasionally drape over her shoulder and is sometimes adorned with a Butterfree-shaped hairclip in the front and a green bow in the back. She has a smooth face and hazel eyes that reflect her desire for peace. She usually wears a yellow shirt with a black, knee-length skirt, although she will sometimes switch out the skirt for blue jeans, which she pairs with an olive-colored shirt. Shannon also has a dark blue hooded jacket that she wears in cold weather. She wears white and gold tennis shoes with black trim.
Personality: Shannon is a pacifist, and tries to avoid confrontation whenever possible. She is generally happy, and she is a kind, loving person at heart. However, she can appear distant and withdrawn because of her tendency to be left alone. Recent events in Celadon have stirred up memories of her past, which has caused her to spend a lot of time in quiet reflection. As a child she was conceited and snobbish, always comparing herself to her friends. As she matured, she outgrew those traits, but the recent knowledge of how her arrogant attitude affected her friends looms over her like a heavy cloud. She can be stubborn when she makes up her mind, but will relent if she realizes that something is really for the best.
Background: Shannon grew up in the historic city of Ecruteak. Her parents were Liberty agents, and although they were able to afford a relatively large home with their Liberty paychecks, they were often busy with Liberty-related work, so Shannon spent almost all of her time playing with her small group of friends. Shannon took pride in her parents’ wealth and status, bragging about them to her friends. Her best friend in the group was a girl named Hannah, who also happened to be her neighbor. As they grew older, their friendship turned into a rivalry. Shannon, with her competitive nature, ended up beating Hannah at almost everything.
Then one day, her parents were relocated to a Liberty outpost in Celadon City, Kanto. With very little warning, Shannon was uprooted from her home and, after a tearful goodbye with her friends, left Ecruteak for good. In Celadon, she quickly found that her peers did not appreciate her conceited attitude and instead shunned her for it. Shannon was shocked and surprised by this, and worked to change her ways, becoming a lot more aware of how her actions affected others.
When Shannon was about 14, her parents were part of a Liberty raid on Ecruteak to try and take out a Rocket outpost. The damage extended beyond the outpost, causing major damage to the historic city. Shannon was devastated to learn her parents had been part of an attack that had practically destroyed the town she had been raised in. She grew distant from her parents, resenting them and anything to do with the Rocket-Liberty War. Whenever her parents weren’t gone on missions for Team Liberty she would shut herself in her room, becoming absorbed in her sketches and reading. Even when her parents were gone and she had the whole house to herself, she would spend hours on end sifting through her favorite novels and making new drawings. As a result, she not only grew distant from her parents, but from everyone else as well. The only beings she did not shy away from were her Pokémon, Selena and Sousa, who comforted her as she coped with the knowledge of what her parents had done.
