Name: Sapphira Sheng-Lin
Age: 15
Date of Birth: October 31st
Birthplace: Ecruteak City
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Face Claim: Yuuichi Komura - Hiiro no Kakera
Appearance:
Distinguishing Features: Except for his striking yellow eyes and white hair (Yes it's natural and no he will not tell you what product he uses) Sapphira can usually be seen sporting a little makeup, just some mascara or lip gloss usually, eyeshadow if he wants to make his "decadently beautiful eyes pop" as he puts it. His skin though is flawless, not a single pore out of place or unwanted hair. Which is due to his nigh obsession with keeping himself pretty.
Height: 5'8"
Character Type: Wave Dorm Student
Personality: Snarky, Sapphira is a very snarky boy. Of course born with a name like that who wouldn’t be? Bar his snark, he is a rather nice individual… not. No, Sapphira is the very picture of self-centered and narcissistic. Easily the boy is his own biggest fan.
Raised as the third oldest of all of his sibling though he does have some maternal instinct, as his mother and fathers were usually very busy with their jobs he was the one who would help his two older sisters raise his younger siblings. Which funnily enough, helps a lot when dealing with baby Pokémon, as sometimes nothing gets a bad child in line quicker than someone in an apron, screaming, with a large metal spoon in their hand. Or is that more comforting than that same person when you’ve had a bad day.
While he likes Pokémon he is very finicky about the one’s he gets, preferring “beautiful” over anything else. In fact the boy is ruled by the concept of beauty.
This is… in part, due to his sisters. From a young age the two would try to make him “pretty” as they put it. It was safe to say that he loved the feeling that a bit of makeup, a new hairdo, and a manicure could convey. So started the path to darkness… and an amazing complexion. Another thing that Sapphira is fond of is dancing. Being that one of his sisters is a member of the legendary Kimono Girls of Ecruteak, he had often been her dance partner during training, or even dressing up to fill in a spot for one of the girls lest they be sick or could not preform. To add into his narcissism the boy is a complete nut about his health, keeping to a strict diet as well a regimen of workouts.

History: The circumstances of Sapphira’s birth are… odd to say the least. Though to learn why they are odd would be to look at his family. Mizuki Maki is a fun loving woman dedicated to her career… As a rather famous erotic model. A source of embarrassment for her kids, a shock to their teachers, friends, and coworkers, and pride for her and her partners. Yep, partners, one Shichiro Lin, a historian, while not famous has a good amount of renown in certain circles, and Shi Sheng, a well-paid salary man. It all started when Mizuki met Shi at a dinner party. The two hit it off instantly and from there on started dating. Shi didn’t mind his girlfriend’s profession, strangely enough. Albeit it wasn’t like anyone believed him until they actually saw the two together in person. Both being rather career oriented people though they started to drift slightly. That’s when Shichiro came into the picture. Shichiro excited Mizuki and her thirst for fun and adventure. Which Shi, while loving and funny, just couldn’t fulfill. The two met during a tour of the Ruins of Alph, and she quickly fell for the rugged yet refined historian. It went on like that for a few months, Mizuki meeting up with both of them regularly without the other’s knowledge. But that arrangement was doomed at the start.
Soon Shi started to get suspicious, and one thing leading to another both of the men found out that they were being played. When confronting Mizuki about it though the woman seemed genuinely sorry about the whole affair. Though her love for both of the men was real, as they both held aspects that she enjoyed, she had gone about it the wrong way, afraid that they would both reject her if they knew. They did not though. After a heartfelt discussion between the three of them about the relationship and their feelings for one another they came to an agreement. Mizuki loved both Shi and Shichiro, they loved her back, neither had any problems with the other nor did they mind sharing. All three definitely had their cake and ate it that day.
Soon after the three of them became an item they decided to get married. The wedding was a loud and raucous affair, what with having three very different families converge for the event. While there were protests, arguments, and even a fist fight. The families learned to accept the bond all three of them shared, whether they liked it or not.
Now married and rather content, Mizuki retired from her job, her husbands both bringing in enough money to keep the rather wealthy family afloat. It was a good thing too, because a couple months after the honeymoon Mizuki announced that she was pregnant… with twins. The family was overjoyed, at the announcement and soon the day came upon them. Being that in their marriage neither of the three took each other’s last name the problem of how to name the twins came up. They couldn’t use all their last names, it would be ridiculous. So they compromised, each child they had would have Maki as a middle name while the father’s names were hyphenated as last names. This agreement gave birth to Saki Maki Sheng-Lin and Sylvia Maki Sheng-Lin twin sisters and the eldest of the family.
Nothing of note happened for the next couple of years until the twins were about six. Then a new face came on to the scene, due to a faulty scan reading the trio was convinced that their third child would be a girl. They even went to three different doctors to prove it, each result came out the same, girl. Of course this led to them jumping the gun a bit and filling out the child’s name before it was even born. That unfortunate action let the child known as Sapphira enter the world with a rather terrible name for a boy.
From an early age Sapphira was the playthings of his sisters. If they needed something or wanted something, He was the one to get it. If they were bored or needed something to do, they had him to take out their frustration on. Though it wasn’t all bad between the three, Maki and Sylvia cared for their younger brother deeply, he was family after all. The three were thick as thieves when they weren’t at each other’s throats. When the other boys made fun of Sapphira for his name, and oh did they ever make fun of him for it. Only to find themselves on the receiving end of two very angry sisters.
The two sisters of course did their own to torture the kid. They would frequently dress him up and make him look “pretty” for them so he could serve them and their friends when they came over. Along with that, being the only boy in a house full of girls all day he was dragged along them near everywhere, and grew up liking a lot of what his sisters liked. Chatting away with the two often, they were the only ones he could really talk to about stuff, being as most of the other boys found the things he liked, manicures, cute things, as well as looking nice stupid and girly. That led to the boy finding refuge in his rather, feminine interests even more, as he obsessed about looking downright gorgeous.
Soon after Sapphira was born though even more faces would grace their family. One of their aunts died, and with that left four kids, two girls and two boys orphaned. Seeing that some of their family was in trouble the trio soon adopted the four kids into their own little family, the more the merrier right? But with those new faces meant even more mouths to feed. So reluctantly Mizuki returned to work. With their mother and father’s at work for most of the day it fell to Sapphira and his elder sisters to take care of the new young additions. Sapphira proved to be an excellent surrogate mother, lending an ear when needed and handing out punishment when due.
Of course the boy changed drastically when he entered middle school. Sylvia had left that year for her Pokémon journey while Saki had become a student at the Kimono Dance Theater. Which meant that for the first time on his life Sapphira was on his own. The teasing and bullying was relentless and at some points severe. The boy refused to fight back with fists though, finding that most of his bullies not a good enough reason to ruin a perfectly good manicure by fighting. The boy was like a Skarmory in its nest. Each barb, jab, and beating would leave him colder and sharper. His talent for eviscerating people with words alone would grow to monumental heights as he returned from school each day with a cut lip or a black eye.
The bullying reached its crescendo when his parents actually got called in by the principle of his school. They were shocked to see the state their son was in, he had been forced into a female’s uniform and was covered in makeup, various cruel and rude things written on him with sharpie as well as bruises forming. It was in that meeting that the boy’s future would change forever. The Principal suggested a transfer for him. To one of the most prestigious academies in the world, Falling Star Academy. The transfer of course would be covered by the school fully, as an apology to the family for their son’s treatment.
It seemed like a dream come true for the boy, if he knew a single thing about Pokémon. While Sylvia wrote home about her adventures and Saki was proud of her Glaceon. Sapphira knew the bare basics of Pokémon, his only real exposure being those around Ecruteak and of the course the families Purrloin. Other than that he knew goose egg. In fact he had never wanted to be a trainer or work with Pokémon in the first place, he wanted to open up a beauty salon.
But he wasn’t gonna refuse a free education at one of the best schools in the world that was on an island filled with cute guys and hot teachers no siree. So before it was time for him to leave he studied all he could about Pokémon, and the stuff you could do with them. During his studies something called out to him though. Pokémon coordination. It was perfect, magnificent, amazing even. That you could train Pokémon to preform such beautiful displays of skill was unknown to the boy completely. Not only that, but appearance of oneself and one’s Pokémon factored into it heavily. It was like it was made for him. Spurned by his new passion the snarky boy was bubbling with anticipation to go… not that he would show it of course, it was just a top of the line school in the middle of the ocean where he’d learn everything he wanted to about Pokémon contests and training. No big.
Soon the day was upon Mizuki, Shi, and Shichiro to say goodbye to their only boy. The event was full of tears from all parties and before long the boy was on a ship heading towards not only Falling Star Academy, but a new future as well. No longer would people bully him for his name or looks. In fact, with his reinvented image the boy didn’t see himself getting bullied when he left those trollops with their jaws on the floor by not only being much, much more attractive than them, but by the verbal evisceration he would deal to anyone who actually tried to give him shit for having the name Sapphira or taking the effort to look fabulous and beautiful. A new chapter in his life was starting, and he’d be the one at its helm.
