|Profile=Dame Athela Valemore, Knight Errant of the obscure Legendary Keldeo, the Sword of the Tides. Despite the elaborate title this brave lady started out as no more than a commoner growing up on the small coastal region of Bayern. But after discovering her ability to manipulate water and using it, alongside her skills with pokemon, to help the beleaguered people of her homeland, she proved to have a chivalrous yet humble spirit. This earned her the honor of being chosen by Keldeo to help usher his return to the mortal world, in a crusade against both the Hollow curse and the mislead society that once spurned him. As such she is the wielder of the Resolute Blade, an ancient sword that embodies both bold courage and the caring spirit to use it wisely. Athela continues her quest of protecting the innocent from corruption and injustice, even as the nobles of her home constantly try to quell her efforts for not being of the regal bloodlines they control their lands through.
|Powers=Spirit of Justice: Being the chosen champion of Keldeo confers its share of benefits, although they are more subtle than other Legendaries. Athela has been blessed with a divine insight for martial combat, driven as much by her strong spirit as it is physical strength and skill. It allows her to use the trademark move of the Swords of Justice, Sacred Sword, as a smiting blow to her foes.

Tide Caller: Athela has a natural connection to the element of water, that she has learned to manipulate to her advantage. She can move swiftly through watery terrain and stay submerged for extended periods with little hindrance. With the ability she can utilize various water-type attacks at both melee and long range, from small bursts of water and elementally charged melee attacks to focusing enough to produce a powerful pressurized stream and rushing through foes like a raging current. She can also channel water energy through her weapon.
|Skills=Lady Of Battle: Through both practice and experience Athela has become a formidable adventurer, both with her own martial skills and with the coordination of pokemon. She is a competent swordfighter that fights alongside her pokemon rather than simply give them orders, and can take blows with her armor to lessen the harm done. With steadfast determination she weathers though attacks to capitalize on any openings the enemy may leave in their assault, especially when they are unaware of her other abilities.

Mounted Combat: Water Jousting is a traditional competition on the coasts of Bayern, honing the synchronization between a combat trainer and pokemon to move and act as one unified force. The main difference from standard jousting is there is as much focus on using ranged elemental attacks against a foe as there is physical and weapon strikes. The combat style can be used on most any rideable pokemon, but isn't always as effective with non-Water types.

Survival Of The Wettest: Athela has lived much of her life near the coast. Even without her elemental abilities she is an adept swimmer, and is unbothered by the jarring motion of waves and currents. She's familiar with the basic operations and navigation aboard sailing ships. She can use the knowledge of fishing and related skills learned from her family to help sustain herself and allies during long travels.
|Assets=Resolute Blade: An artifact sword resembling the horn of Keldeo's Resolute Form, which also symbolizes that Athela is the chosen champion of his cause. At least to those that even acknowledge Keldeo still exists. It is strong enough to cut into stone and damage forged metal. The pronged backside of the blade is designed for parrying and disarming other attackers. With the sword in her possession, Athela can travel across the surface of water the same as Keldeo does without submerging, unless she chooses to do so.
|NPCs=Pokemon: Athela can catch and train various elemental creatures called Pokemon. They have various abilities, attacks and weaknesses based on their related elements. She has a natural affinity for Water types, but can train most any that are willing to cooperate with her. Her primary Pokemon consist of SAMUROTT, TIMBURR, EEVEE and GOOMY. They also have many non-attack related abilities. Samurott serves as her mount via using aquaplaning to move over land. Timburr is strong and sturdy for its small size. Eevee was bred and trained as a tracker, even if not a powerful fighter. Goomy's slug-like body is slimy, squishy and able to squeeze through tight places. Unlike other worlds Pokemon, her Samurott bears metallic armor and is a Water and Steel type, and the Timburr lineage are all Fighting and Grass types wielding heavy wood and thick vines as weapons.
|Disadvantages=Pokemon: As a Pokemon Trainer, Athela has a strong personal connection with her companions. While they are all trained for battle she is highly protective of them, regarding their safety well before her own. Likewise because of their devotion putting her in a compromising situation may be enough to stall them from acting effectively as they attempt to protect her and other allies first.

Headstrong: Athela is a very forward-thinking, action-first type of person. Prefers to leave the extra talking and negotiating to those more suited. While she takes time to consider her actions, once set upon a choice it is as difficult to sway her from it as it is to change the course of a river. While modest she does take considerable pride in the role she has been given and will pursue it as far and as thoroughly as she possibly can. As a result her persistence and determination to see actions through can lead to her being stalled or distracted because of her own stubbornness.

Self-Sacrificing: Athela will always worry about the well-being of others, be it her allies or innocents caught in the middle of trouble, long before she is concerned with her own safety. She is aware that putting civilians in danger can be used to complicate matters for her, but it is a core aspect of her role of a knight and even knowing that danger will not turn her away from doing so.

Regionless: While by birth a native of the Bugen region, politically Athela is regarded as one with no homeland because Keldeo does not have a region or religious order devoted to him. She has no noble family lineage to give her presence in the medieval politics of Bayern, which is why she is considered a Knight Errant. Some members of higher society are eager to use such things to discredit her worth to their advantage. There's reasons Keldeo doesn't trust the nobility that have more interest in their own gains than the betterment of their nation.

Product Of Her Time: Athela has difficulty with the technologies of the Multiverse that are much more advanced than Bayern. Radios and other common conveniences, things that can be experienced repeatedly without complexity, aren't so bad. Even then, just because she uses it doesn't mean she understands it. But things like advanced machinery, vehicles or firearms are entirely out of her league. It may also cause difficulty in fighting such advanced foes until she can start adapting her tactics to the new threats.
