[attr="class","rostercat2"]Ai is very socially awkward. She was tutored at home/on set for her schooling prior to setting out, and doesn’t quite know how to properly interact with people her age. She is used to being respectful and polite to adult figures, but this doesn’t always translate to her peers. She’s quiet and has a hard time holding eye contact while she’s talking (unless it’s about a subject she cares about or the person is someone she admires), and tends to keep her hands busy when she talks (fiddling with her camera, wringing the strap of her bag, picking at her clothes, ect.). She is more used to being distanced from people and admiring them from afar, and has an easier time talking to people in a way that’s not face to face (through e-mail, letters or texting for example).


She is generally very opinionated about people and things, and first impressions leave a large and lasting impact on how she perceives someone. Though she is rarely rude or hateful if she doesn’t like a person to their face, she won’t hesitate to give someone else a piece of her mind about said person (ie she’s very into gossip). Though she acts meek and shy in public, she can be quite nasty when she thinks no one else is listening. She runs a variety of blogs related to her profession (her major three are a photography blog, her work blog, and a celebrity gossip blog) and lets loose online where the veil of anonymity can protect her.


Being judgmental with others doesn’t exclude herself, and Ai has a deep-seated negative view of herself as a whole. Growing up in the star-studded world surrounded by attractive and talented actors, trainers, coordinators and models and incredibly high standards of beauty, she firmly believes she’s ugly and an embarrassment and will continue to be so for the rest of her life regardless of how she tries to improve herself. She dislikes her personality and wants to be more honest with people, but being honest has gotten her hurt in the past and she prefers to keep things to herself rather than risk putting her heart out on display. She lets small issues fester in her mind and it can cause great distress, but she will still keep it bottled inside until the issue becomes too much and she snaps. She doesn’t like talking about herself and hates having pictures of herself taken (she’ll go so far as to cut herself out of group shots or scribble herself out with permanent markers), and has no hesitation in calling herself trash.


Ai’s biggest hobby is her pursuit of beauty: which, to her, is capturing famous and dazzling people and Pokemon in photographs. Not that she would ever admit it out loud, she likes the paparazzi aspect of taking candid shots because it makes her feel slightly better about herself in the way that stars aren’t always attractive and she can prove it with some of her shots. She both worships and resents a celebrity’s perceived perfections. She has a shrine in her room back home filled with pictures and assorted discarded trinkets from her favorite celebrities, trainers, and coordinators.


Ai has a bit of a sweating problem; not even because she’s necessarily nervous at any given time; Her father is the same way, and it’s more of a genetic problem. She is very self-conscious about this and is worried about possibly being smelly, so she always douses herself in deodorant and body spray so when standing near her she tends to have an overpowering fruity aroma.

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

[attr="class","rostercat2"]
-Ai is the only child born to a director from Sinnoh and an actress from Johto who fell for each other after she worked on one of his films.
-Initially given a camera to keep her distracted while on set as her parents worked, it turned out she had a real knack and passion for photography
-Family tried to get her interested in acting, singing, and other activities but she didn't take to any like she did photography much to their disappointment 
-Because of her family's lifestyle, however, it didn't take long until Ai began to worship the famous company she often found herself keeping and began focusing her photography on those same stars
-the habit began to get more extreme as she grew older, learning more about the cutthroat world of the paparazzi that tailed stardom in the shadows, which was where she felt most comfortable being
-started up a blog for her paparazzi shots which gained a surprising amount of traction over time as she grew more skilled in her craft
-newspapers and gossip magazines began reaching out to her for some of her more controversial shots and that's how she started saving funds for her own trips
-she's traveled far and wide with her parents, through every region but Inset and that's her next destination; she wants to see what it's like there, and what kind of stars and their Pokemon live there
-Using the funds she'd built up from her paparazzi work she set off with her family's blessing
