Elliott "Eli" Ashwood

Personality

In their youth, Elliott was a reserved and introverted child who preferred solitude and spoke only when necessary. As they grew older, they became more approachable and easier to talk to, although traces of their earlier self remained. Despite appearing aloof at first, Elliott is kind-hearted, intelligent, and fiercely loyal. Their passion for plants and education initially contributed to their distant demeanor, but their deep care for friends shines through, as they're always ready to defend them. Even as they grapple with inner conflicts and uncertainties, Elliott maintains a composed exterior, masking their nervousness with a calm smile. They avoid physical confrontations, preferring to handle such situations through their Pokémon. Feeling powerless makes them uneasy, especially when they believe they should be capable. Over time, Elliott has transformed from a timid youth into a more resilient individual, less prone to being pushed around and more comfortable in their gender. They often play the role of peacemaker among friends, striving to diffuse tense moments. While some people might see them as somewhat "mild" or "boring," Elliott is deeply passionate about their work and caring for others, traits nurtured by their love for tending to plants. They aspire to set a positive example for their younger adoptive brother, working diligently to maintain a reputation as a reliable and compassionate individual.

Bio

Elias Dubois, born a male on Spring,5, 1121, was the child of two Kalosian parents who moved to Toro due to financial difficulties. Though they had envisioned a future together, they were unprepared for the challenges of raising a child. Their resentment toward Elias grew as they felt he limited their freedom. Living in a modest Viridis apartment, they struggled financially, with only one parent working while the other stayed home with Elias. As their financial woes worsened, they turned to illegal activities, discreetly poaching and selling Pokémon for quick cash. Realizing the risk of investigation and arrest, they eventually disappeared. During the final order attack on the Toro Region, the parents left Elias alone at home with limited food and water.Elias’s absence from school and the lack of contact with his parents raised concerns among school staff and family friends. Eventually, he was found and taken in by Rhys, a close family friend who decided to adopt him after the region returned to peace. With his parents vanished, Rhys became Elias’s most familiar guardian. Elias changed his surname from Dubois to Ashwood and later adopted the name Elliott Ashwood upon realizing they were nonbinary. Elliott now lives in a cozy Canvas farm with one of their partners, Isaac Rosette, and their friend, Anne Clay.
