PMD-E: Team Riptide App 2.0

Team Riptide's app 2.0 for .

Old app: [link]

La'ana: The obvious leader of the two. La'ana is a master trickster and a cunning actress. She uses her cuteness to fool others into thinking she's just an innocent little girl, then once she gets in close enough, she sparks up her bulbs and beats the opponent with them. She's generally happy, being a naturally likable person with a wide circle of friends, but for reasons kept to her alone she chooses to spend most of her time with the nervous Li'l J.

Some fun facts:
- In human years, La'ana would be 15.
- La'ana is trained in ribbon dancing. She uses that in her battle style.
- La'ana's distunguishing physical feature is her large nose/upper lip.
- La'ana is very dominant. She always has to be in charge.

Li'l J: His real name is Harold Johnson. He didn't like Harold, so he told people to call him Li'l J. He is shy and rather unwilling to go into large groups of unfamiliar faces. He is even rather shy about talking to his guild leaders, though that could be expected with Chill (the sunglasses are kind of intimidating to young J). The only Pokemon Li'l J can be truly open to is La'ana, for she has been his best (and only) friend for most of his life. One could look at them, and by the way they kind of idly converse about nothing important, judge them as being closer to acquaintences, but this is just Li'l J's naturally quiet personality. Li'l J often finds himself daydreaming about who-knows-what, but being the shy Pokemon he is, even La'ana is stumped at his response of a heavy blush and a "Oh... I-it's nothing..."

Some fun facts:
- Li'l J would be 14 in human years.
- Li'l J's distinguishing physical features are his unusually sharp back fin, his taller head, and after the events of Mission 5, a burn scar on his right foot.
- Li'l J is much stronger than he looks and acts, but he holds himself back. The only way he will use his true strength is if the situation is a crisis or if Sheldon has angered him enough.

Sheldon: A hyper and quirky Squirlte. Li'l J first met him during Mission 5. While evacuating the day care, he had grabbed Sheldon's shell, mistaking it for an egg. He annoyed Li'l J for the remainder of the mission.
Sheldon is very bold, but not in a good way. He was never taught to keep certain things to himself, so he always ends up unintentionally insulting people. He also struggles to grasp the concepts of personal space and privacy.

Some fun facts:
- His full name is Sheldon Schale.
- He is not sure of his exact age, but he knows it is somewhere between 14 and 16.
- Sheldon is overweight and is sluggish as a result.
- His distinguishing physical feature is his underbite with the one tooth that sticks out.
- Despite his looks (and weight), Sheldon is actually a fairly adept battler. His signature technique is using Rapid Spin while sticking his arm out and also using Brick Break.

Woopa: An excitable and loving Wooper. When La'ana and Sheldon were given their evolution scroll, Sheldon wanted to use it but La'ana wouldn't let him. While fighting over it, it was stolen by Woopa, who ran off. They chased the surprisingly speedy little guy all around Tao Village, until he eventually ducked for cover in Callahan's office. Callahan took the scroll, assuming that since Woopa was there with the all-water type Team Riptide, he was joining the team. He added Woopa to the roster before La'ana or Sheldon could say no, and thus was the story of their newest member. Woopa is a happy, fun-loving, and extremely affectionate little scamp who is surprisingly strong and light on his feet for his species.

Some fun facts:
- Woopa's true name is unknown, the name comes from the fact that the only thing he seems to be able to say, aside from "huggies," is "woo-pah!"
- Woopa is extremely agile for his species, being able to easily outrun both Sheldon and La'ana, and possibly even Li'l J.
- Woopa has a very hard head, and his Earthquake attack is done by slamming his head on the ground really hard.
- Woopa loves hugs.
- Woopa's age is unknown, but he is suspected to be very young.
- Woopa is male, despite having the whiskers of a female Wooper.


V1.0: Here we go, new app! I think it looks really good, what do you think?
V1.1: Added the accessory voucher from M5.
V1.5: Sheldon has been added to the team! Also updated bios with "fun facts".
V2.5: Sheldon's app picture has been finished, albeit quickly. Woopa was also recruited. I'll finish Woopa's picture after I update all the other apps. I may still fix up Sheldon's picture too, It's a little bit oddly shaded.
