General Information

Appearance
Personality: For the most part, Rainbow has a... colorful personality. She is a very happy-go-lucky person who loves life and has as much fun every day as possible. Rainbow loves her Pokémon more than anything and wants nothing more than to share with them all the joy in her life. Do not mess with this chick's rainbow. You will be sorry. Yet as friendly and protective as she is with them, the Trainer does not have many human friends. This is probably because she finds most of them to be dull, unlike Pokémon who are as beautiful and varied as the rainbow. But subconsciously it most likely also has to do with the riddicule she received as a child and sometimes still does today.

Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 120lbs.

Miscellaneous Information
History: From as far back as she can remember, Rainbow has been able to perceive extraordinary things through seeing colors. Every color brought on a taste in her mouth, a scent in her nose, and/or a tone in her ear. When she was old enough to explain what was happening to her, her parents thought she was playing a game and thought nothing of it. It wasn't until she was in school and talking about it to her peers that her gift became a curse. She was constantly teased and told she was a liar. Her parents took her to psychologists and doctors who could come up with only one answer, that Iliana Iris Avari was a synesthete.
Synesthesia is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. Meaning, her sense of sight was connected to her senses of taste, smell, and hearing. Rainbow is unlike any prerecorded case of synesthesia, however, as she is the only one to have multiple kinds of the condition as well as never-before-seen combinations.
Although dealing with such sensory overload was often distracting and at times overwhelming as a child, Rainbow, as she came to call herself, loved her ability. She went out of her way to search for ideal color combinations to give her a sort of high from the resulting sight, smell, taste, and sound. To her, a rainbow was a symphony. As a young girl, she would spend most of her time in the vast flower gardens in her hometown of Floaroma. It was bliss, and she was happy because she could be alone with her senses instead of being teased about them.
It was in one of these meadows that Iliana met a Pokémon known as Eevee. It belonged to a Trainer passing through the town. The Eevee itself did not do much for her senses, at it was a dull brown color. But the stories the Trainer told her about the Eevee's possibilities made her eyes go wide in wonder as she imagined them herself. This small, brown, furry creature had the ability to evolve into any one of seven different colors and types. From that moment on, Rainbow knew what she wanted to do with her life. She would create her very own rainbow to travel along with her everywhere. It would be beautiful and intoxicating.
She stayed home through middle school and then began her journey to find her beloved Pokémon rainbow. Her first Pokémon was an Eevee she received from one of her teachers, and the closest person to a friend the girl had. Because Rainbow had spent the last several years extensively researching Eeveelutions, she knew how to make them all. And she was even going to do it in the order of ROY G BIV. That first Eevee became her Flareon, Fiyero.
In Veilstone City she came across a Game Corner where she tried her hand at the dazzlingly colorful slot machines and other such gambling devices. It turns out she was pretty good at them. During her stay in the city, she earned enough coins to buy an Eevee at the prize counter. It turned out to be a female which she nicknamed Indira and evolved into a Jolteon. ROY was complete.
While traveling, she heard of a mansion with a so-called "Trophy Garden" in which Eevee would sometimes appear. Rainbow sought out this mansion and waited with extreme patience until she caught an Eevee, and a Shiny one at that. She named him Haru and plans to evolve him into a Leafeon in Eterna Forest.

Roleplay Sample:
Bells as pure as snow rang in Rainbow's ears as the sparkles flew through the air, settling on the Pokémon's coat. It smelled and tasted like fresh blueberries. "What do you think this is, a Pokémon Contest?" she inquired indignantly. Though she had to admit it was a pleasure, it was nothing compared to the glory of the rainbow awaiting after she won this. "Indira, time to do your thing! Thunder!"
"Joooolll!!!"
As the Electric-type let out its powerful howl of a battle cry, the gray clouds overhead started coming together in one ominous dark whirl. White and yellow flashes of light could be seen flashing within as something incredible charged inside the water vapor. It was enough to freeze you in place with both fear and awe.
On top of the natural crackle of thunder that could be heard within the cloud, Rainbow heard a melody of low tones, similar to a subtly frightening tune one would hear around Halloween. It tasted like black licorice and smelled of leather. "Go!"
"Teeeeoooon!"
In an instant, a massive thunderbolt burst from the depths of that mass of dark, looming mist, headed straight for Skunkly. It was a sight to behold, incredible through both pure force and sheer natural beauty. The power of lightning, controlled and yet completely unleashed. Rainbow was assaulted with the sound of many keys being pounded on an organ at once while she was surrounded by the scent of metal and the taste of lemon.
Perhaps on purpose, or perhaps not, the angle at which the bolt struck was just so, that the hovering form of a menacing and growling Indira was cast in a combination of bright light on one side and sinister shadow on the other. Certainly an appearance to send a chill down one's spine.
