Personality:

For the most part, Ziv is quiet and reclusive. They're hospitable to other Pokemon when they arrive, sometimes going as far as inviting them into their home for as long as needed, but years of being mostly alone has caused them to be to act like a loner. They're often a bit awkward while speaking, but it never takes too long for them to regain their social footing. Ziv is always polite to other Pokemon, even if that kindness is not returned.

Backstory:

Ziv had a rather pleasant childhood for the most part. Their parents learned pretty early on that the crowded streets of Brightkeep only gave the young tribid bad migraines. They all moved to the meadow and slowly dug out a large burrow, big enough for all of them to live in. It was free from the constant noise and vibrant colors, and Ziv was healthier because of it.

This new home still caused a few problems, though. Ziv's parents still had jobs in Brightkeep, and the constant going back and forth left Ziv alone in the burrow for longer than a child should. Even after Ziv's parents hired childsitters to keep an eye on them, they still grew up somewhat a loner.

Once Ziv was old enough to take care of theirself, their parents moved back to Brightkeep. Ziv remained in the burrow, eventually taking further interest in painting the world around them. They began working on making their own paints and brushes, eventually taking on a few students of their own. Things have been going well for them! All Ziv can do now is hope things stay as good as they are now.
