Description:
Nettie stands at a height of 155 cm / 5'1 and has a weight of 45 kg. But of course, the Skylars were well known to be towards the short size. However, Nettie never allows her small size to bring her at a disadvantage. She will readily climb, run and do whatever her small body will allow her to do. At the same time, Nettie also knows how to conduct herself in a graceful and elegant posture from all the classes that she was to take because of the Skylar family.
Nettie bears a doll-like appearance, with a round face, small button nose and big sea green eyes, causing others to suspect her to be younger than her actual age. She has plump light pink lips and neatly arranged white teeth. Due to being forced to stay indoors for most of her life, Nettie has pale white skin which burns under too much sunlight.
Her hair is long and straight, cascading down to the length of her stomach. Nettie mostly keeps her hair down, although she would sometimes experiment with hair styles so it's not strange to see her with pigtails or french braids. The color of her hair is a lighter black, towards a shade of dark indigo purple. The coloring also depends on the light, with her hair looking more purple in the sunlight and more black in the dark.
As Nettie is a coordinator, she puts much pride in her appearance and changes outfits often. The most common outfit that she wears is the black cardigan with the pink bow, black skirt with frills, striped socks and pastel pink shoes. Common accessories also includes her crown shaped ear-rings and how her nails are always painted a shade of pastel pink.
Personality:(+) Cheerful, Creative, Energetic, Extroverted, Imaginative, Sweet.(-) Air-head, Annoying, Childish, Dumb, Naive, Unable to Make Priorities.
Nettie always has a cheerful deposition. She's always smiling, always laughing and always looking at things in a positive way. In short, she has an optimistic outlook in life. She gets along well with people easily because of her extroverted nature. She likes interacting with people and talking to them. on a daily basis--she gets her energy from the people who are around her. Nettie is always sweet to everyone she meets. She's easy going and gets on well with people easily. She's also kind and empathetic and will help anyone with anything, sometimes leading to problems for she's occasionally unable to get her priorities straight. Nettie is unable to make priorities. She wants to help everyone and everything and she wants to do it all at once.
Nettie's hobby is design. She is extremely good at designing things fashion and drawing. She designs her own dresses that she wants to wear in contests. This causes her to have a very vivid imagination. She can imagine scenarios and people which occasionally causes her to talk to herself out of habit however unrealistic those scenarios might be. However, Nettie's talkative, imaginative nature makes her seem like an air-head, and to other people dumb and shallow.
Nettie could also easily be branded as annoying. She has no concept of time and can talk on for hours, and she silly nature can make people think of her an annoying pest. As she was quite spoiled by her parents as a child, Nettie still has yet to outgrow her childish and trusty nature. She believes in strangers very easily for she doesn't believe an adult would want to trick her. This makes her very gullible. She just wants to see the good in everybody, and that is one of her biggest flaw. Nettie is just too wrapped up in her imaginative bubble.
History:
001
The Skylar Family are one of the most influential families in Hearthome City, Sinnoh. They're an ancient clan, so well unknown and so high up in the social scale that they might appear untouchable to all those who are below it. Many of the members of the Skylar family were a mixture of renowned businessman and woman who owned a large portion of the tourism industry in Sinnoh, including a famous cruise company. Some members were also doctors, researchers. They dominated the entire sector. The largest Skylar estate was in Hearthome City, a gigantic estate that was in the neighborhood of the upper-class, a large mansion that was almost akin to that of a small castle.
Catherine Skylar was married into this family clan to the only male heir at the age of seventeen. It was an arranged marriage that was agreed to by both parties, being beneficial to both the families. She agreed to because she wanted to preserve the honor of her own family, and also because she did not have any reason to refuse. Catherine herself was the sole heiress of a large business, and the two families joining forces would make them more powerful and known. Over the course of the next two decades of her life, she eventually gave birth to the two Skylar daughters who will be known as the two Skylar heriresses.
The first Skylar daughter was named Elizabeth Skylar. It was clear that she has inherited her father's lilac hair and her mother's slender figure, making her clearly a Skylar. She has also inherited the Skylar clan's strong business tact. As she grew up, her talent in business was very clear. Her future as a heiress was sealed. There was nobody that was going to take her place. Elizabeth was quick to figure out her education--she trained hard, and quickly moved the ranks.
Annette Skylar was born twelve years later. She arrived in the middle of a hot summer, an unexpected blessing to the family who didn't expect any more children. She brought a lot of joy, including to Elizabeth who had always wanted a younger sister to dote on.
Nobody knows why they eventually started calling her Nettie. It was Elizabeth who have given her that nickname, and it eventually stuck. Eventually, a lot of people forgot that her true name was actually Annette.

Nettie spent many years of her life wandering through the long hallways and walls of the gigantic family mansion. Due to the large age-gap with her sister who had to study abroad to study and to intern in businesses, Nettie was often left alone. There were always several nannies who were waiting on hand and foot for her, attending to her every need. She had everything that she wanted right at her fingertips.
But as she grew older, it was soon clear to everybody that Nettie was not anything like her sister.
It was firstly her physical appearance. Nettie did not inherit Catherine's height and slender figure, her growth peaking at 5'1 and stopping completely by the time she was twelve. She also didn't inherit the Skylar's prized lilac hair from her father. Her hair shade was more of a darker indigo shade, switching to a bluer or purple shade depending on the lighting, like her mother.
The matriarch of the Skylar family was clearly not happy with this because she believes it's a bad omen, but Nettie's mother did her best to protect her from the comments from the extensive family members. It was hard though because it was as if all eyes were on them--they were the main family now, and without the support of the family members, Nettie might even be cut off from her fortune. While Nettie's father loved Nettie very much, his mother played a huge role in the decisions that he would have to make, and so if she was to want Nettie's will to be cut off, it could be it.
But it didn't stop there.
As a toddler, Nettie was bubbly and talkative, happy to interact with anyone who would hold her. As a child, she was imaginative and talkative, babbling away to the family's Pokemon, an old Glameow named Duchess. At school, Nettie had never fared well, having constantly to live up to the shadow of her sister. Her results were at best mediocre and no amount of extra tutoring were able to increase her average grades. Instead of studying, she became friends with the school's Pokemon and was quite adept at battling, much to the dismay of her parents.
In addition to that, the family was going through a lot of pressure from the matriarch who compared this to be similar to that of a scandal. They did not take out the blame on Catherine, because she has proven herself with Elizabeth's birth, but there were many who was not sure whether Nettie would have a place in the family or whether or not she was capable of taking a hold of the Skylar family's assets.
Without young Nettie knowing it, her position was already very unstable in the Skylar clan.

"I want to be a trainer! I want to travel the world."
At the age of 12, Nettie was finding it harder and harder to live in an environment which she found stifling. The girl was overall just bored and unhappy with her very routine-like life. She couldn't handle all the private lessons that she had to do, and was also showing no signs of improvement with her potential, which was what the old and dying matriarch would say. She wanted to break free, and discover new things without someone having to guide her.
Catherine and Elizabeth did their very best to make her happy, but Nettie couldn't take it.
She was an impulsive child. Boredom was beginning to get her into a lot of trouble and with how her life was revolving, there were many prying and hungry eyes who were eager to watch her fall.
To cheer her up and to get her out of the spotlight, Nettie's parents would often bring her to the Pokemon contests for they were the center of attraction in Hearthome city. They were Nettie's favorite events for she got to sit and watch each Pokemon display their beauty. After although, while math might not be a forte, art was something that Nettie enjoyed.
She never realized that she really wanted to become a coordinator until the day she met Mirabelle Ella, a famous retired coordinator who just happened to be visiting Sinnoh because she had been requested to perform. What happened that night was stunning. Nettie could never forget the way the Dragonair twisted and turned in the air before blowing a jet of fire and then water.
For the first time in her life, Nettie had realized that she wanted to become something. It wasn't easy, convincing her parents that she wanted to go somewhere in the world to become a coordinator. They were first very reluctant to let her do it, but finally, with the consultation of the entire Skylar clan, it was agreed.
Nettie was to become a coordinator and she could leave to Ascua region there. If she was unsuccessful, she was to come back home, back to where her family and the rest of ther clan was waiting for her.
And so she left home for the first time, eager to learn, eager to practice and eager to be the very best. She was happy. She was excited. And there was nothing right now that can stop her.
She wanted that clean slate.
004.
Shortly before Nettie left on her trip, on her 18th birthday, her father took her to a Pokemon pet-shop in Hearthome to look for a Pokemon of her choice there. There were a lot of Pokemon who were vying for Nettie's attention, although Nettie wasn't sure which Pokemon to bring home.
When she was turning to leave to perhaps try another shop, something else caught her eye. It was a flash of pink. It turns out there was just a single Skitty, sitting in the pen all alone. According to a person who work there, the Skitty had been picked and returned within three days by two trainers because of a 'behavioral problem'. She was the last of her litter left, and there was nobody else who wanted her. Nettie decided at once that she was going to get the Skitty. The Skitty was promptly named Cherry, because of her coloring.
A day later, Nettie was on a ferry leaving to the Ascua region. She's more than excited to start her new life of independence along with her Pokemon and a career as a coordinator.
And this is where her story would start. On the ferry, heading towards the Central PortVillage.
