| History | Born in Ilex Forest, Winter set off on her journe around the region at a young age, as is tradition for the Heracross of Ilex Forest; that said, most Heracross depart at eighteen. Winter, being the eager youth she was, ran off five years early, at the young age of thirteen. Visiting every last bit of Johto, the adolescent Heracross learned the way the world works as she took her region-round tour. Four years later, after she had finished seeing everything her home region had to offer, she crossed the border to the east, entering Kanto. It was not long before she reached Saffron City, in Kanto, where she met her Teacher. A former pro boxer, her Teacher was a Hitmonchan by the name of Brutus. Due to complications surrounding her physicality, Winter has never been a particularly good fighter with her horn. Thanks to her Teacher’s tutelage, she learned his Way of the Fist, succeeding him as the strongest boxer in Kanto! After a year in the ring, the Heracross fought in the Kanto Championship Match. Her joy upon winning the region's title, was, sadly, short-lived; her Teacher passed away from an incurable disease that had ailed him since the two Fighting-types first met. Winter has always had a small number of things on her mind at one time. First and foremost on her list has always been the pursuit of true strength! After the person who has influenced her most in life, her Teacher, died, two months before the epidemic began, Winter has been seeking a new teacher, another 'mon to help guide her along the path to true strength. A month after her Teacher's death, the Heracross found herself in Hoenn. Beginning her round trip - or so she expected - around the region in the port city of Slateport, the Heracross traveled north. It was only a month into her journey around the warm region that the epidemic broke out, changing the Heracross' life forever. For the four years the epidemic has lasted, Winter has spent them in a more unique way than most other 'mon. In a desperate struggle to retain her innocence in a world full of death and sadness, Winter has traveled the Hoenn region completely alone, avoiding fighting whenever possible. Were it not for her intense training sessions and the occasional dispatching of bandits that had the misfortune of trying to prey upon her, her power would have dulled. In her attempts to retain her cheery demeanor that even she realizes would disappear if she faced the state of the world around her, Winter has turned a blind eye to any death or sadness. While she's witnessed imminent death, she has never seen the moment when life left a fellow Pokemon's eyes. Only now, four years after the outbreak, would Winter's story truly begin. | |
| Appearance | Winter is an average Heracross | |
| Personality | She's a super energetic, happy Heracross! Don't be surprised when she goes from 'Let's-fight!' mode to 'Let's be friends!' mode in the span of a few minutes. That's right, friends! The only thing Winter likes more than making new friends and being her happy, cheery self... is fighting! Nothing gets her all worked up like a good fight! | |
