[attr="class","rostercat2"]Caleb is like most teenagers, discontent with their current like and seeking adventure. He doesn't want to just fade away into a normal dead end job like the restaurant he works at, he wants to do something and get the best adventure he can before the real world comes crashing down on him, trying to make him stick with a job that is boring and drags on.With that in mind, he's a well mannered kid who usually keeps to himself as well as his opinions, as he doesn't think his views are really important to his family. Caleb is also easily annoyed by his older brothers and in a way, this short fuse can tie into others he meets if you hit the right nerve. In truth, he feels insignificant and this has yet to manifest in a low self confidence and esteem to a large degree, it does make him second guess many of his choices.

Caleb has the habit of talking to himself despite Mint's company and while he enjoys talking to her, he ends up conversing with himself on more important matters. It's only when he needs to vent do these important matters end up discussed with Mint. Despite ice types not being his favorite; in fact they're one of his least favorites as he doesn't like the cold, he treats Mint well and actually likes her a great deal more than his real siblings. Thus he often playfully teases her. The relationship he has with his father isn't a good one, as they wanted him to follow in their footsteps of being a breeder; something that Caleb wasn't fond of doing for the rest of his life. This has caused a lot of bitterness between the two.

In truth, he's just a teen who wants something more out of his life. Something he can carve for himself and doesn't have to go into just to please others. He's a decent kid who keeps to himself and will do his best to keep any issues he has with himself, while still lending a helping hand to some people who need it. Deep down he wants to impress his father still, he wants their approval but he just keep telling himself that it will never happen. As much as he treasures Mint, he isn't very good at reading her emotions and even he struggles to pry certain things from her.

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

[attr="class","rostercat2"]Born in Iki Town, Alola region, Caleb was the youngest out of five children. Three boys with himself included and two girls. The family was a family of breeders by his father's side of the family, while his mother had once been a trainer she had changed professions upon marrying her husband. Pokemon were always in his life and thus Caleb felt better bonded with them rather than his siblings. There was always the usual sibling fights and quarrels with five kids, all wanting the approval and acceptance of their parents on whatever they did. However, Caleb noticed something early on. How all his siblings were flocking around their father, seeking his approval and jumping head first into a occupation that was merely tradition without really knowing if they wanted it or not. For a few years, Caleb tried to gain his father's approval by other things. He tried to make things or build em; often failing and breaking apart, which earned him the critism of his siblings. Once these attempts amused his father and they would pat the child on the head, telling em to give it another go. In those days, the family life was much more tolerable.

It all changed at eleven years old and his father took them all to his store where he sold the eggs that he had breed with his pokemon. Here, he announced it was time for them to pick a path by picking a egg. He wouldn't tell them what the egg was, allowing only the small lessons and things they observed when hanging around him at home with the pokemon and in the shop to help them choose. As Caleb hadn't spent as much time in these places; unless he had to, Caleb hadn't a clue on what egg was what. His brothers had their eggs chosen in less than a minute, his first sister took five and the second took ten minutes; having debated between two eggs sitting on the shelf by each other. Caleb took the longest, well over a hour of walking back and forth in uncertain confusion. This both caused his siblings to laugh and tease him; and not in the playful kind teasing neither in Caleb's mind. Getting annoyed and fed up with the situation, he merely took a egg off the shelf at random and joined his family. Their father said that the type of pokemon that would hatch would be what they would work with for their own breeding, this...didn't set well with Caleb.

Still he took care of the egg he had chosen but the whole time he wondered, if he had just walked out the shop he wouldn't have been pulled into this? Funny thing, despite him being the last to pick and took the longest his egg was the first to hatch. The little ice fox immedeatly won him over; who could resist a baby fox anyway? Naming them Mint, he took to having Mint around rather well even as he got older. The alola vulpix never felt girly to him and they were often a source of inspiration and aid when dealing with issues. Then...the move happened.

They left the small town of Iki behind as their father wanted a change of scenary. They ended up in Cassiopiea Village in Inset Region. Caleb went to work at a restaurant as a waiter for some extra money as the move put a dent in the family savings. It was here that the pressure became too much. His siblings were all working for his father now, helping to build their new little shop to sell eggs. Caleb was the only one not involved in the task and his father was displeased. After a hard shift at the restaurant, Caleb was ready for sleep when his father approached him, demanding to know why they weren't helping set up the shop. The argument that followed was to be expected of a teen with a need for sleep whose fuse had been clipped short due to their day at work, Caleb admitted he disliked the idea of being a breeder and that it didn't feel meaningful at all. This caused his father to ground the young man until he was willing to help and take on the family tradition, that meant his job was no more at the restaurant as his father would then call in Caleb quit.

A year has passed since then and with the pokemon lab so close by, Caleb couldn't take it. He discussed the idea with Mint of being a trainer, as the two had never battled before they really didn't know what they were doing and he didn't want to force Mint into anything. The fox merely smiled and wanted to go with him. So the two planned on a day to sneak out of the house and head out into the world to be something more together. Without his father's disapproving gaze.
