Apperance: The first thing one usually notices about Lavi is her hair. It's often a wild mess, though through no fault of her own. It's just that she has a lot of hair, and it's got a mind of its own. It's hard to tame it, although it is possible. It just usually takes more time than Lavi cares to spend, even if she does like to look nice. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Lavi is also quite tall. She has long legs, perfect for a runner like her. She's thin and fit, as she actually loves to exercise. If she can, she'll run. Walking takes too long, and isn't as much fun. Lavi still has a bit of a baby face, though. It's pretty much the only part of her still clinging to her baby fat. Somehow this doesn't make her look young, as she looks older than she actually is.
Lavi likes to dress nicely, usually in red or gold. She thinks those colors compliment her skintone and hair color, and she also finds red a 'sexy' color. She might be young but she's a bit boy-crazy, so that does factor in to how she dresses. She is competitive even about her clothes. If she sees another girl looking nicer than her she will immediately fix her own appearance. She just can't be shown up by anyone.
History:
Hometown - New York City, New York.
Lavi was born in New York City, and though she didn't live there all that long, she still considers it her home. She has a younger brother that is only two years younger than her. She lived there until she was six, and then her mother, who was a biologist doing studies on African lions, got a job offer in Africa. The family packed up and moved to Kenya. Her father was a doctor, who worked with people with AIDS while they were there. Lavi was largely left to her own devices in the house since both of her parents were busy. One day, her mother was robbed at gunpoint, and was so traumatized by the experience that even leaving the house would cause her to have a panic attack.
Lavi's father didn't make much money, and without the added bonus of her mother's salary, they certainly weren't well off. Although the plan was initially to move back to New York City, they found that they didn't have the funds. By this time, Lavi was ten, and could barely even remember New York, except for the shopping. She had a few friends, but no one really close to her. With all the talk of moving back to the US someday, she didn't see the point in getting close to anyone. She had a couple "boyfriends", but like most girls that age it was just a statement, not anything real.
Finally her father got a break. Someone in Colorado wanted him to work in their hospital. They had heard about his work with people with AIDS, and needed someone with his expertise. Scraping the money together, the family packed up and moved to Denver. Lavi was eleven.
Lavi started going to school in Denver, and joined the track team since running was always something she enjoyed. She only really made one friend, a sweet girl around her age. That girl and her little brother were the only two people that Lavi got close to. She was very selective in her close friends, and she couldn't really stand any other girls.
When it came time for high school, Lavi and her friend decided they wanted to go to Pallet High School, as it was near home but they could also get out of their houses a little early and board there.
Personality: Leader: Lavi is independent, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like people, because she does. She just feels that she can operate by herself quite well, and if she is in a group, she should be the leader. She likes to be in charge, but she's not pushy about it. She just tends to know what she's talking about.
Proud: Lavi takes great pride in her achievements, her looks, and everything else. She hates to have to ask for help, much preferring to do things herself. She likes to look good, often seen in relatively nice clothing. She likes the colors red and gold a lot and wears them often.
Playful: Even though Lavi is often serious and competitive, she is also playful. She likes to have a good time, and has a good sense of humor until it turns mean. She's still young and likes to live life to it's fullest.
Competitive: If there's a competition, Lavi is probably there trying to win it. She's constantly wanting to prove herself as the best, and she hates to lose. She's in great shape because she constantly pushes herself to win and do better than the other kids. If there's something she wants to do, she will do it, and she'll do it great because she can't settle for less.
Strong-Willed: Lavi doesn't give up. If she fails, it only pushes her to try harder. She has a strong will, and does whatever it takes to accomplish her goals. People telling her she can't do something will only make her try harder.
Jealous: Lavi isn't the biggest fan of other females. She views them as direct competition. In a relationship, this is her greatest downfall. She doesn't mean to get jealous at every little glance, but it happens. She also gets jealous when someone bests her at something, and will hold a grudge if that happens.
Sarcastic: Lavi doesn't like to be hurt, and so she keeps people at a distance and it takes quite a bit to get into her inner circle or "pride". One of her defense tactics is to be sarcastic. She doesn't even mean to sometimes, it just slips out. At least she has a sense of humor, even if it is a bit mean-spirited at times.
Unforgiving: Lavi can hold a grudge like no one's business. Once someone has hurt her, she will shut down and shut them out. It's another defense mechanism. It's very hard to get her to accept you again after you have lost her trust.
Connect the dots:
Lavi means lion, Ariel means lion of God, and Xanthe means fair-haired/light haired and Shinx sparkle and create light.
Lavi likes sparkly, pretty things. Shinx create bright lights to escape from their enemies.
Lions are pride animals, so Lavi is very loyal to her friends, those she includes in her "pride".
Lavi dislikes/is afraid of horses. Lions eat zebras so I'm guessing the two don't get along. (This isn't stated elsewhere because I wasn't sure where to put it. There's no real reason, she just gets uneasy around horses.)
Shinx has the Rivalry ability, so Lavi sometimes doesn't get along the best with other females and views them as competition.
Shinx have the hidden ability Guts, so Lavi pushes herself even if she's not feeling in top-shape.
Lionesses do the hunting, so Lavi is a hard-worker, strong-willed, and persistent.
Sasha has some wild hair that reminds me of a lion's mane in certain pictures, so that's why I decided on her for a face claim.
Shinx has high stamina and jumping and good speed in the Pokeathlon, so I decided to put her in track.
Lavi lived in Africa for some of her life to correlate with African lions.
