History:
Sugar was born in the city of Filia of the other continent. Her mother was a caring woman but she was always burdened with heavy diseases. The girl does not remember a lot about her hometown or her father, who he left the family and disappeared without a word when she was little. About that time, Sugar's mother decided to start a new life in Uladh, in Tir Chonaill. However, her condition was gradually getting worse, forcing Sugar to look after her.
The people of Tir Chonaill understood the family's problems and they gave the girl a job as a shepherd at the pasture. Sugar enjoyed looking after all the Mareep and the pokemon grew fond of her as well. For a few years, she lived happily in a town full of welcoming and kind people and her mother whom she loved dearly. This lasted until Sugar's mother died in her sleep. It hurt the girl deeply, even though she had been preparing for this day for a long time.
The next period in the girl life was the most lonely one. Though the neighbors often came over to cheer her up with some simple warm words, Sugar missed her only relative. She ended up spending even more time with Mareep, away from the people and their faked kindness.
Everything changed for Sugar once again, when the Dark-types attacked. It was a warm afternoon, when all the Mareep suddenly grew tense and continued looking up at the hills. Sugar knew something was coming up and called for help immediately. Just as the Pokemon trainers of the town arriver, a bunch of Mightyena appeared and rushed towards the sheep pokemon. They were stopped by multiple pokemon commanded by the trainers, while Sugar led the Mareep away from the battlefield and awaited the end of the attack. The wolf pokemon stood no chance against local people and their partners and they soon began the retreat. The shepherd girl watched as the trainers chased them off and ordered their pokemon to land their last attacks on the intruders. The Mightyena were already gone but something else got the attention of the guards. They gathered in a circle around something that Sugar could not see until she ran up to the group to watch. Then she saw a small, gray, curled up pokemon. It was trembling fear and looking up at the trainers, while they were debatting on the future of the little creature. Oblivious to the child's presence, they continued coming up with ideas such as finding the hideout of the wolf pokemon and giving them a massacred body of the Poochyena to prevent future attacks. Sugar could not watch in silence any further; she ran up to the Pokemon and picked it up, holding it close to her chest. "I will take care of it!", she exclaimed. "It was after my Mareep so I will... punish it!" Though the guards did not like her idea at first, Sugar was stubborn and took no consideration of any arguments. They decided to leave the Poochyena's fate up to her and left the girl and the Dark pokemon alone.
Years later, at the age of 13, Sugar still runs the pasture. Mareep are not her pokemon officially, though she still has a close bond with the pokemon. Innova, though, is a different story. The girl never planned to harm the Poochyena and it became apparent to the local people, as well as the pokemon itself, who happily accepted the girl as his new friend, who saved him, when his own family betrayed him and left him behind. Sugar was more than happy to keep the Poochyena and gave him the name Innova. However, people of Tir Chonaill did not accept Sugar's friend; suddenly the kindness and warmth she was getting after her mother's death all disappeared, only to be replaced with cold and distrust. The girl ended up avoiding people and only spending her free time at the pasture, surrounded by pokemon.
Personality: Sugar does not know a lot about the world, as she doesn't remember any other place than Tir Chonaill. She is very curious about what awaits her outside of the town's borders and her adventurous side makes her look forward to seeing new places. Spending most of the time with pokemon, she grew distrustful towards people, although she still naively believes in their good sides.
In general, she is gentle, calm and even a bit shy upon first contact. Around closer friends (and nearly all pokemon), she opens up and turns out to be very talkactive and cheerful. Sugar is also naive and often immature.
