Username: Parugi

Age: 35 (b. July 3rd, 1980)

Appearance: Bluefalcon stood at 5'9", weighing about 132 lbs. She had a slightly tanned complexion, and had brown hair and brown eyes. Bluefalcon was, at a glance, stern yet kind, welcoming and eager to lead and advise. She tended to dress well, with a standard outfit consisting of a white sweater, blue vest, dark pants, and blue and white shoes.

Personality: Bluefalcon took the best parts of Goldhawk and Blackskull and combined them into one truly unique individual. She was driven, loyal, open and kind. Her methods were effective, efficient, and came with a focus on preservation and protection of those under her charge. She could switch on a dime between a motherly kindness and a fierce force of direction for Team Liberty. Few outside of Team Liberty, and even fewer within, held a negative view of Bluefalcon--even in disagreements with her ideals, she was never anything but accepting and understanding of where those disagreements lied, and aimed to bridge the gap wherever she could. In helping to form and lead Team Liberty, her aim was not to harm her enemies, but to create a better world for everyone; she was an avid advocate for diplomacy first and combat last.

Despite all of her positives, however, there was a notable shift in the latter part of her life wherein something darker seemed to take hold--a deep-seated sadness or depression, the beginnings of cracks in her confident approach to seeking out peace. It is largely believed that this played a role in her death, affecting her judgment and ultimately causing her to try for a desperate--and doomed to fail--attempt at negotiating with an enemy she could not sway.

Background: Bluefalcon (real name Shannon Ramirez) was born in Cerulean City, Kanto. As a child, she had always been fascinated with Pokémon, and Dparticularly was influenced by the Water-Type Gym in her city. It was here that, at the age of 10, she was gifted with her first Pokémon, a Tentacool, and set out on a journey to a Pokémon Champion. During her adventures, she became well-acquainted with Kane Umbra (later known as Blackskull) and Markus Aleivy (Goldhawk), two trainers who would quickly become both her best friends and her rivals. The three individually traveled on their journeys, building their teams and reputations in the pursuit of the title of League Champion. Naturally, Bluefalcon specialized in Water-Type Pokémon. Out of the three of them, Bluefalcon was the only one to successfully earn the title of Kanto Pokémon Champion, at the age of 12; she would go on to hold the title for the next three years, successfully protecting it from her friends and others.

At the age of 15, Team Rocket enacted a forceful takeover of the Kanto Regions. Aware of their reputation as criminals, Bluefalcon worked with other like-minded trainers to combat the newly-established Rocket Regime. At the age of 23, Bluefalcon worked with Goldhawk and Blackskull to create Team Liberty, which served as a combination of dozens of other, smaller resistance groups--and which would ultimately become the longest-lasting and most-effective force against Team Rocket. Bluefalcon served as an auxiliary leader between herself, Blackskull, and Goldhawk, a decision primarily influenced by Team Rocket's staunch policies on negotiation that rendered her particular methods less effective at getting results. Over the next eight years, she participated in, led, and advised dozens of operations.

Sometime in that period, Bluefalcon went out of the public eye for roughly ten months. The details of her whereabouts during this period have remained under lock and key; the only individuals even rumored to have any knowledge about where she went and why were Goldhawk and Blackskull, though neither has ever so much as acknowledged the rumors. What is known is that, upon her reappearance, something seemed to have changed within her--she seemed to suffer from what could only be described as depression, and this was noted to have affected her battle capabilities.

Bluefalcon was later involved in the Battle of Four Island when Team Rocket launched a full-scale assault against Team Liberty. Unfortunately, she did not survive the battle. A Team Rocket Agent managed to infiltrate the Alamo Server Rooms, a critical component for much of Team Liberty's operations. Knowing this would be a high-priority target, Bluefalcon took it upon herself to guard the Server Room single-handed, backed only by the force of her Pokémon Team. Her efforts proved futile when the servers were detonated, critically injuring her in the resulting blast. She survived only long enough to officially induct James Arthur into Team Liberty. Silvermind succeeded her as Team Liberty's leader--marking Bluefalcon as the first of the original generation to fall.
