[attr="class","rostercatsub2"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","rostercat2"]Born in Sinnoh in Snowpoint City, Case never knew his birth parents as he was put up for adoption as an infant. He was adopted by a well-off family at the age of six, and they preserved his first name but changed his surname to match their own- Casey Grey.

The Greys were a strict and cold family; his adoptive parents and two much older siblings emphasized formality, status, and material gain. In particular, they were pokemon collectors, a practice that Casey quietly despised (though any attempts by him to bring up the subject were shunned, shouted down, or ignored entirely). When a family member grew tired or bored of a pokemon, it was often Casey who continued to care for them, with some help from the Grey’s butler. Any he found he couldn’t care for, he snuck out with their pokeballs and whisked them away to the nearest adoption center in hopes of finding them a better home. The family rarely questioned where their former precious pokemon went.

His constant companion in these endeavors was a female Snorunt who toddled around behind him wherever he went; a pokemon that his father acquired and promptly ignored. She rarely spoke, and when she did it was in hushed whispers, but Case never felt more relaxed and at peace than when he was with her.

At seventeen Casey volunteered at the local clinic, a practice which his family begrudgingly accepted if only because he might later become a doctor. He quickly picked up a few basic first aid skills, eager for the chance to flex his mind and work alongside more pokemon. But his real interest sparked when he met a researcher who had been recently hired. He hadn’t fully registered the idea that being a researcher was even an option- his family only ever spoke of what breeders they could get their next special pokemon from, or what trainers had the strongest teams.

Case decided shortly thereafter that he wanted to be a researcher- and perhaps a ranger further in the future, to make up for his family's misdeeds. It was a choice he was sure they would disapprove of, and so he kept his plans a secret. But he had to be thorough. He saved up some money from working, secured necessary travel documents without their noticing, and stole away in the middle of the night just days after his twenty-third birthday.

There was one last thing he had to do before leaving Sinnoh. He left Snorunt with one of his very few childhood friends, a man who lived on the far edge of town. They shared a tearful goodbye, and Casey promised to include treats for the ice pokemon every time he wrote back.

And he left Sinnoh. Save for Snorunt, he thought he would miss Sinnoh more. But when he introduced himself as Casey Fletcher for the first time- his real birth name- it was like the burden of his adoptive family was lifted from his shoulders. A quiet renouncement and the start of a new life.
