Biography:
Even today, the cosmopolitan Unova region is not without its flaws and struggles, what more three thousand years ago. The civil war that led to the land of Unova coalescing into a somewhat coherent entity is still in living memory among the oldest inhabitants of the land, and while the child of the Hero of Truth rules from the Pyre Castle surrounded by a vibrant city and verdant farmland, there are still many smaller settlements and cities spread out across Unova that engage in small-scale skirmishes, some bending the knee to the philosophy of Truth and others maintaining their own independence or forming coalitions. It continues to be a time of struggle.
And into this time of struggle came a young orphan girl who never knew her parents. Growing up in the city of Virbank, one of the more developed cities of the period due to its advantageous position as a seaport, she could not remember a day when life was not a struggle. She found herself stealing and swindling for her own survival, not looking further than the next silver coin or piece of food. It was on an occasion where she was fleeing from the guards of a foreign merchant whose purse she snatched that she found herself hiding under a pile of refuse, atop which sat a Vullaby. When the guards approached, trying to search for the girl, the scavenging beast screeched, flapped, and clawed, fending them off until they gave up, under the reasoning that no one would choose to hide in such a place for long, anyway.
When the girl emerged, she was overcome with gratitude, even if her face didn't show it. Since then, the girl and the Vullaby bonded together, becoming partners in crime.
Some time later, the girl was approached by a masked figure, cloaked in black, who asked her to come with them. Used to this type of danger, the girl and her bird fled, leading the stranger on a chase through the city. Just when she thought she'd escaped, the stranger stepped out in front of her, easily subduing her and Vullaby, again extending their offer to take her to a place where she would not have to struggle for her meals, but also be given a new duty and purpose.
Quietly, she agreed.
With that, the stranger took her to one of the bases of the Order of Tenebrae, one of many organizations formed in secret by those who were still loyal to the Hero of Ideals and worshiped the Dragon of Thunder. Many of the recruits of the Order of Tenebrae were similarly disenfranchised and discontent people, or those devoted enough to the ideal of Justice to seek out the Order by their own volition.
And so it was that this young girl accepted the name "Pholiota Tenebrae", and began her training as a Justicar, a member of the Order tasked to travel across the land in a role not unlike a circuit judge, spending most of their time in the wilderness and smaller settlements to serve as an arbiter of disputes between individuals who would be unable to settle (or resort to frontier justice otherwise), and to quell human criminals and violent Pokemon in emergencies.
The training was physically rigorous, on top of including detailed study of the history of the region, the laws of the land, and the Order's own scriptures. Over the course of Pholiota's training, she and Vullaby became closer and stronger together, and the day came when she was ready to assume her duties, and Vullaby grew into Mandibuzz. As the elders of the Order said, the beginning of her duties was only the beginning of a lifetime of learning. To that end, she was provided an unruly Mienfoo, in the hope that she could grow into a teacher that could discipline it, as well as a Chimecho that served as standard equipment for the Justicars, its chime to be rung during judicial proceedings under the belief that its sound could calm violent spirits and help them to comply with the Ideal of Justice, whether or not they needed to be physically confronted, first.
Eventually, the Order of Tenebrae heard tell of the crisis that was formenting within the Galar region. To her great surprise, Pholiota was chosen by the oracles of the order to travel to the region, to do what she could in order to bring an end to the threat of Eternatus. After all, if it could engulf all of Galar, who knew if any other region would be safe? Quietly accepting her duty, Pholiota set out on a new journey, heading further than she had ever been before.
Even from her childhood, Pholiota was stoic and taciturn, certainly rarely in a position to make conversation with someone. With the focus and direction given to her by the Order, she is highly dutiful and dedicated to her job. While not outwardly so much of a fanatic as to impose her interpretation of the Order's ideal on every situation, she tends to be inflexible and have trouble working with outsiders. And more than ever before, she is surrounded by outsiders. What will be her contribution to solving the crisis of Eternatus? Only time will tell.

- overview of backstory, personality, and thoughts/feelings regarding recent events -see below
Andy has high morals and won't allow anything to happen to his friends, going out of his way to try and settle disputes between other locals, even though it's clearly none of his business, telling the truth whenever he does something wrong, or just being around for people that have had bad days. This does lead to him getting into some sticky situations, however, such as people ignoring Andy during a dispute, at which point he will leave them alone.
Andy will start out shy to any person or pokèmon but will gradually warm up to them as time goes on and strive above most things to keep his friends happy, beware he will run away from anyone that lashes out at him. Battle-wise Andy favors being more on the defensive side, envisioning pokémon battles to be more like chess matches rather than matches of power preferring to pick his opponents apart with strategy instead.
History: Born into a quaint, moderately sized house in Turffield, Andy was an introvert at the start of his childhood, clinging mainly to his parents, Bob and Martha Richter for protection due to extreme shyness. This led to him being homeschooled and learning basic reading, writing, and math from them. The parents wanted him to make some friends with any other kids at their favorite spot, which also happens to be where the parents met, in Hulbury. However, if they tried to help him he would run away without saying a word with a very scared expression on his face, thus leading the local kids in Turffield to label him an oddball.
This continued until age 6 during one routine day at Andy's now favorite area. He was busy playing around the docks with his parents supervising him until a Water Ball pokémon popped its head out of the water. The Azurill, as identified by Mr. and Mrs. Richter who had a sort of innate bond thanks to being breeders themselves, merrily bounced up to the trio with a squeak. This was Andy's first encounter with a pokémon so initially, he recoiled away from it. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon just waved its bouncy tail at him, smiled and squeaked once more which made Andy more cautious now more than afraid as he reached out to pet the Marill of which it took full comfort in. Bob and Martha saw this occur and became overjoyed that their bundle of nerves seemed to have taken a shine to a pokémon and potential new friend. After a whole day of play by Andy and his new found poké-friend, Azurill, the Richters got ready to return to Turffield. Before they left, she squeaked again, waved using that tail of hers and walked back into the harbor
From then on, Andy slowly became more outgoing. By age 10 thanks to repeated visits to see Azurill, he was at least being more vocal with the Turffield locals, unless it was the first time meeting a person, in that case, he would start out timid but warm up to him or her after a few minutes of conversation. Andy's homeschooling was going well too, he was learning some reading, writing, and math This was also the time that the Richters would bestow an egg for Andy to incubate thanks to how his first encounter went. This turns into a near constant checking of the egg as it slowly hatches over the next 10 days. Once it does, Andy dotes on the little mouse as well as learns the ins and outs of breeding.
Andy and Aqua, an affectionate name for the Azurill, quickly bond over the next few years. During the year before his 18th birthday, Andy’s adventurous side started showing up. He would sneak out during the night to explore the areas around Turffield; not going too much farther than that because he didn't want to worry his mom and dad, he was very respectful of them after all. He yearned to head to not just the rest of the Galar region, but any other regions out there learning about the many cultures and pokémon present throughout with his own pokémon, though the Black Storm rendered this impossible thanks to the more aggressive and super-sized pokémon. Instead , he was spending his time with Aqua, in fact, the two were pretty much inseparable during this time.
While Aqua didn't appear to be affected by the black storm , at least not yet , he hoped his study on breeding would help shed some kind of light as to why this storm even happened and just what was that black object having only learned about these in books.
Aqua wasn't the only pokémon he raised, a bit after Azurill became a Marill, his parents gave him a Ledyba and Mareep egg which he lovingly raised as well. However, due to their recency, they are still newborns .
