Glacia [Female Shiny Glaceon]"Colder than ice."
A more polite Pokémon one is likely to never find.  Raised with Lore from the time she was very small, the Pokémon is the closest thing that Lore could describe as a best friend.  She is also her only Pokémon, and thus her strongest battling companion.  Glacia's personality is as elegant as that of her mistress.  Similarly, since her evolution from Eevee, the Pokémon has learned to assist Lore in her duties as a maid, helping with everything from balancing trays, to tending the garden.  She is rarely inside a Poké Ball, as Lore does not see much of a need for it.

Though I glance into the mirror. wrote:Sakuya stands at roughly five feet and six inches tall, neither the tallest nor the shortest of the women in the Mansion (especially with Patchouli and Calanthia around).  Her build is modest, as far as bust size, and though she is teased about it, she does not pad her bra.  Her physical appearance is a bit deceptive, as she appears to lack the usual developed musculature of a trained fighter, instead her build is leaner, developed over years of fighting with knives, martial arts training, and being beaten on by Calanthia (usually only jokingly).  Her hair seems to range in color depending on the light it is viewed in, from silver to pale gold, but is naturally white, one of the two traits she inherited from her father's side of the family.  Her hair is kept in a short style, just above to barely below her shoulders, and is usually kept somewhat messy, with twin braids woven in the front that fall to either shoulder.  Her eyes range in color from gray to blue-gray, and a spectrum of shades in-between.  

In terms of clothing, Sakuya usually chooses basic black and white clothing in a variety of styles.  Her day to day outfit tends to vary, but she usually wears one of two outfits.  Her casual clothing is generally a black and gray dress with puffed sleeves, and a skirt that halts just above the knee.  Her other outfit, despite being more covering, is more suited for going out adventuring or fighting than maid work.  This outfit is comprised of black buckle flats, a skirt that stops mid-thigh and flares outward for ease of movement, and a black pinstripe top with white button sleeves that stretch all the way from below her elbows to the wrist.  She also wears black fingerless gloves, a white maid's headband, solid black stockings and garter belts.  Her underwear matches, and is practical, meaning even if she flashed someone, they wouldn't get a peek of anything but black.

I am not always satisfied with what I see. wrote:Despite being one of the youngest of the women living at the Scarlet Mansion, Sakuya is one of the most serious individuals there.  With a maturity that doesn't always match her 26 years, she tends to be the most goal oriented and most focused on keeping things running in an orderly fashion.  Part of this is her obsession with keeping things running smoothly for her own sake, and part of it comes from a desire to please her Ojou-sama.  When it comes to interpersonal relationships, Sakuya is your average mix and range of reactions.  She enjoys and most easily befriends those who display similar traits to herself: loyalty, concern for others, dedication to a cause or person, and anyone who doesn't make a mess inside the Mansion.  Needless to say, she and a certain blonde living in the mansion avoid one another as much as possible.  

The more playful side of Sakuya is the side that she never shows to those outside the circle of those who live within the Mansion, those she considers her family.  This side of Sakuya is what one would expect from an average 26 year old woman.  She enjoys fashion, shopping, cooking, humor, and is more than a bit of a pervert, though she keeps that last little bit a touch more private.  She is close to Calanthia, her Ojou-sama, who is a child physically, while also an adult mentally.  While this confuses her emotionally at times as she has developed feelings for the woman in recent years, she refuses to act on her feelings due to the disparity between their ages.

To those visiting the mansion for the purpose of battling, she shows a ferocity that fringes on cruelty, as she is the last person to stand between any challengers, and Calanthia herself.

But I know my past has shaped me. wrote:Lore Sakuya Merritt is the first and only child of Christopher Merritt and Alisandria Merritt.  Though she was named Lore, for the flowers that bloomed around her family home, she was called mostly fondly by most individuals growing up by her middle name, Sakuya – so named after her father's mother, Tanaka Sakuya.  The primary reason for this naming convention is her hair, which was a stark silvery white from her birth.  

The Merritt family has, for generations, served and stood by the Scarlet family as retainers and servants.  Sakuya was trained and raised in keeping with this tradition, and as such had a very unusual upbringing.  Rather than the traditional studies in school, Sakuya was trained to keep house, and more importantly, pushed through rigorous physical training to become a personal bodyguard for whoever the current heir of the Scarlet family happened to be, male or female.  

Years that should have been spent attending parties and having sleepovers were spent with hours upon hours of physical exertion and training with a variety of weapons, during which time Sakuya, at age 13, picked up a fondness for throwing knives.  The amount of time that Sakuya spent in training was balanced primarily by her thirst for knowledge.  When she finally was enrolled in formal schooling, she knew multiple ways to kill an individual, and her mind, sharp and honed, picked up the more traditional lessons of mathematics, science, and other similar subjects quickly.  

While Sakuya was no genius, she was a quick study, and excelled in science, specifically in the subject matter of biology and physiology.  She propelled herself through high school, and for a time it seemed as though she would advance into the fields as a scientist – but the return of the Scarlet heir crushed that underfoot.  Abandoning her schooling, Sakuya went into the immediate service of Calanthia Scarlet, and has served the woman ever since – she was present during the catastrophe that resulted in the loss of Calanthia's younger sister.  She holds a tight rein on the household as the head maid.

She is politely neutral towards the manor's blonde-haired sometimes guest.

And this is what will shape my future. wrote:Unique Abilities_______________________________________
└-Powers unique to the character.

Momentary Precognition: This gives Lore glances into the future by seconds.  Literally a moment's glimpse.  While this may not seem like much, because of the limited amount she is capable of seeing, it gives her indication of things that will occur.  It is what allows her to serve so adequately both as a maid, and as a protector to her mistress.  This ability also gives her a distinct edge in Pokémon battles, as she usually knows what moves an individual will use ahead of time.  It is for this reason that Lore is the last combatant in the manor before facing Calanthia.

└─Power Level: Expert

Time Dilation: While not a power that specifically manipulates time, it is referred to as time dilation because to individuals observing Lore, things appear to happen instantaneously, and without explanation, as though time stopped, and then started again.  What this ability actually is, is an intense increase in the senses and reaction time of Lore to the degree that others around her appear slow, while she herself moves lightning fast.  She uses this ability often to manipulate the throwing knives that are her primary weapon, allowing it to appear as though she freezes time, manipulates them where she wants them, and then throws them afterward.  This is actually done by way of a quick manipulation and a wave of telekinetic energy shoving the daggers forward after their positioning.
