Appearance:
Anima's build is somewhere between that of a fox and of a cat, though leaning closer to feline than anything. Her muscles are suited best for running, jumping, and climbing rather than attacking. Her bones themselves are fragile and easy to break, putting a large hole in her defenses, but perhaps an advantage to their light weight is an enhanced speed stat. With a smaller-than-normal amount of weight for her body to carry, she can manuever with astonishing agility and sometimes use this to gain an upper hand.
Anima's fur is short, though surprisingly soft, aside from the tufts of fur just below her ears. Some small battle-scars lie beneath the pelt--something Anima is quite self-conscious about--but to a Pokemon who isn't more worried about her appearance being more neat rather than intimidating, they say something about her experiences.
One noticeable thing about Anima are the Espeon ears. They're no different than those of most Espeon, but seeing it up close, it's more evident how large they are compared to the size of her head. Proportionately, they're enormous, and though somewhat silly, they allow her to hear many noises that avoid detection by others.
Centered on her forehead is a glowing crimson gem that emanates a slight purple aura whenever Anima is charging a Ghost-type attack. In her more affectionate moods, it gives off a red light, though this is something many don't see, and can slightly illuminate dark places, even if it's not as half as effective as Flash.
Anima's eyes are deep lavender, tinged with touches of grey around the edges. Instead of the usual black, her pupils are a pure, glowing white, and due partially to her Ghost-type, she can see very well in the dark--almost as well as in the day. However, they're as vulerable as any other Espeon's to being blinded by smoke and haze.
Measuring to be a little longer than the length of Anima's body is her tail, which spilts to have two seperate tips instead of one. When the tail-tips are held straight in the air, they can be used to detect both the weather and her opponent's next move by the movement of air currents. Even the slightest move can be picked up, but as a drawback, it can only work when Anima is still and it can be tricked.
Personality:
Anima is vain, always concerned about her appearance and status. She believes herself to be stronger than any opponent that she faces and rarely takes the time to study their weaknesses until she's been taken by surprise at their strength. She underestimates the intelligence and power of anyone in comparison to her own with only a few exceptions--those being her team, the Pokemon who have defeated her, and their Trainers. Even an adversary that may catch her off guard and make her think quickly in order for her to win the match, if they don't win, is regarded as being on a completely different level below her.
To anyone that is not part of the team, even if they've earned her respect, Anima is distant. She never says much or responds in anyway, giving the impression that she's not listening--which may be true, or it could be possible that she is but wants the speaker to stop speaking. Either way, she's just not very social.
As for her actions around the team, she's a completely different Pokemon. She's loyal no matter what and, despite being Alice's first Pokemon, constantly feels like she needs to prove herself to them. If she loses in battle, she won't look them in the eye from pure shame--strange, because they've never mocked her for losing, nor have they done anything to make her feel the need to show her strength, aside from maybe exist.
Her relationship with Alice is a strong one. There's nothing that could keep Anima from loving her Trainer with all her heart, just as she always has and always will. Anima can't bear to be parted from her side. There is no other trainer she would ever have such respect for.
History:
Anima was born to a Jolteon father and Umbreon mother, both owner by an experienced Trainer by the name of Daniel Morse. Unfortunately for young Anima, Daniel was extremely superstitious, thus resulting in a fear of Ghost-types and a fear of the little newborn Eevee. Luckily, he happened to be in Solaceon and knew the nearby Hearthome Gym was home to Ghost Pokemon, putting the Eevee in the basket of his bicycle and setting off the moment he realized it.
The Gym Leader, much to Daniel's relief, took the Eevee. Fortunately for Anima, he had no use for something so young and gave her to his daughter Alice.
Anima lived, for the most part, like a pet. She would wrestle and play with Alice, gnaw on her shoes, get scolded for gnawing on shoes, and run with her on the family's lawn. She grew to be very much able to sense Alice's emotions, just like many Pokemon who get the chance to grow so close to their Trainers, and was thus able to sense when the determination and ambition began to stir within her. It never concerned Anima. She just concluded that, though every step of Alice's quest, she would be there.
