Name:
Olympia Zhao
Age:
22
Gender:
Transgirl (she/her)
Hometown:
Indry City
Personality:
Olympia has always hidden behind Victor’s cries for attention. She’s very reserved and private, keeping her business to herself and becoming very isolated from most aspects of pop culture as a result. She’s a little odd and can be a bit hard to follow- her thoughts are typically one step ahead of her mouth. Most of her time is spent in the quiet, enjoying the sounds of nature and getting lost in daydreams while her peace is left unbothered. On the rare occasion that she goes out, it’s usually not for very long. She’ll leave her home to visit Kyles and stop by the grocery store, then go back home and recover from the socialisation for a couple days.
If she’s not tending to her honey farm and garden, she’s likely out on nature walks or indulging in the arts. Watercolours are her favourite medium, but she carries coloured pencils with her sketchbook for the peaceful days on the mountains of Datu Town when watercolours would be impractical. She’s very soft spoken and whimsical, and very bad at holding conversation. More often than not, she’ll simply stare at the person talking until they’re done, like she always has when Victor goes on long rants about this or that. It’s not that she doesn’t care or isn’t interested, she’s just never had to talk in kind for a conversation to keep going. It’s foreign and uncomfortable for her when single word responses aren’t good enough to keep things alive.
Background:
Olympia was thirteen when she left home to start her Pokemon adventure. She left the house fully equipped- potions, berries, her Combee, and her (at the time) identical twin brother. She found the combee trapped in the branches of a tree in the Zhao family garden... As well as her brother, screaming and trying to swat it away. This wasn't the first time Olympia would come to Victor's rescue, and lord knows it wouldn't be the last. In fact, that's how most of her Pokemon journey went, being the sibling that caught on to battling quicker. Between helping Victor out of sticky situations and helping him train for the league, Olympia excelled in her own training. Her first few Gym Battles went smoothly, until she would have to backtrack and take a few days to help Victor. Her brother was far more concerned with teaching his Pokemon show tricks than battling, but he wanted to "beat the Champion and get on TV." His words, not hers.
The journey for her was a lot more than just discovering her knack for battles. She learned a lot about herself and, at sixteen, came out to her brother as trans. Victor supported her whole heartedly and helped her down the path of transitioning. Now, six years later, she’s very comfortable in herself but finds it difficult to talk about what she’s gone through. She keeps her transition a secret, and only her close family knows she’s trans.
Olympia kept battling and advancing through the league with her brother until the end of Victory Road. Not being one for the spotlight, Olympia let Victor challenge the league first and followed after. Where he failed, around the third member of the Elite 4, Olympia kept going. To her own amazement, and slight horror, she took down the Champion and claimed the title as her own. It felt surreal, being ushered into the Hall of Fame by a team of people. Even now she’s not entirely sure that it actually happened, and occasionally looks at the proof in the Hall just for verification. The attention was more than she was willing to handle. Despite the encouragement and enthusiastic congratulations from Victor, she refused a parade and a large ceremony- she didn’t want the public to know, she didn’t want to be stopped on the streets by strangers, and she definitely didn’t want the media prying into her personal life. Instead of all that, she keeps to herself. Her home now is small, with most of the property covered in a piqturesque garden and combee farm. She travels occasionally, mostly to visit the family she keeps contact with, and flies back to the league when she’s needed.
