[yaima banner]
Yaima always enjoyed the life of many designer pets, that of her master's pampered little girl. But her master was a down-and-dirty mechanic and she loved that just fine. Not only did she love helping him with his projects, but over time she learned all about his trade. And now she's going to continue it with gusto!

Yaima Ondine Kardunn
- Pronunciation(s): yah ee mah ohn deen khahr doon
- Meaning, Given Name: From Baby Names World: Mapuche (Chilean/Argentinian), "sluice" or "water conduit."
- Meaning, Middle Name: From Behind the Name: variant of Undine, from Latin unda, meaning "wave" and denoting a female water sprite.
- Meaning, Surname: Kardunn is another name for the karkadann, or Persian unicorn, known for its bloodthirsty demeanor and rhinoceros-like or kirin-like horns.
- Hidden/OOC Meaning(s): None, really. The surname comes from Carlos in another place and time that made a lot more sense than it does in this setting.

Physical Stats
- Sex, Gender, Pronouns: Female, Female, She/her/hers
- Stature: She is long-limbed, and while quite muscular from her work, underweight because she refuses to stop her work to eat.
- Skin/Hair/Scales: Purply-red crest on top of her head and violet-pink overall, with butter-yellow and white fins.
- Optical Orifices: Weird pink-and-black.
- Human Features: One head, two arms, two legs
- Pokémon Features: One thick, dolphin-finned tail. Fin ears in the yellow and a finned ruff in white around her neck. The crest beginning on top of her head continues in a short purple-red ridge down the length of her spine. She has TEENY feet.

Clothing
- Style: She likes to steal Carlos' loose clothing and handkerchiefs, then put them on with her steampunk-style clothing. She likes ruffles and refined lines, but with a skirt will always come leggings, or outright pants without the skirt

Personality:
- Nature: Sassy
- Summary: Carefree, confident, and easy-going, Yaima is at home building some gadget as much as chatting with a friend. She could chat for hours. She gets her nose into everything and anyone's business seeking to understand or to offer her opinion, whether it's asked for or not! She looks at criticism as an opportunity to re-evaluate a problem or even her own behavior, though the latter is not something she really thinks too deeply about. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it's wrong!

- Myers-Briggs Profile:
- - ENTP
- - Extroversion iNtuition Thinking Perceiving
- - The Originator: could also be described as "inventor" or "mastermind." They love tinkering, but they also love to share their ideas with others, and this enthusiasm can be quite contagious. They like to argue for the sake of argument but do not take things personally. Their biggest downfalls, perhaps, are their need to find a niche to focus in on, and their lack of follow-through.

- Likes: Bitter things such as dark chocolate (and later on, black coffee). Playing harmless pranks on close friends and family (especially Carlos). Open skies: she wants to be up there!
- Strengths: Unconventional and innovative, very intelligent. Personable and genuinely dislikes very few people. Resilient in the face of failure.
- Abilities: Water Absorb. Tinkering, designing machines from blueprint to finished work.

- Dislikes: Sweet things like candy. Stopping what she is doing in order to eat.
- Weaknesses: Tactless and messy. Comes off as arrogant and pushy.
- Fears: She hasn't displayed any yet, which may very well be a huge weakness.

Solo 01: Hello Journal
Date: 20 July 2014
Word count: 448
Notes: Yaima tells a little bit about herself in the first entry of a journal given to her by her trainer.

Hello Journal,

Carlos gave this to me because I like to talk. He said it would be a good way to remember my day because I would be writing it down instead of just talking about it. I think I know what he’s getting at.

What can I say about me? Now that it’s sitting open in front of me my mind draws a blank, just like this page! I guess I’ll start small and write more as the ideas come to me. It's hard to write much without thumbs anyway.

I’ll start with Carlos. He’s a normal-sized human with blue hair. I once heard him say that the drapes match the carpet but I don’t really know what that means. We have mini-blinds. Actually, I can’t really describe our house in general. We don’t do much in there, so I rarely give it much thought.

All the interesting stuff happens in the outbuilding, our “garage.” In there you can hear sawing, hammering, soldering, engines, creaking and bending metal and wood, blow torches, hammering, ticking, and all sorts of interesting noises. It’s like music. The ceiling is over two stories high so the beams overhead don’t catch our projects. Carlos mainly works on cars and other vehicles, but sometimes we get special projects that only he seems to know how to fix. We also sometimes start new machines from scratch when work is slow. You can sometimes find him in there late at night working on a blueprint. They’re always intricate and fascinating, I could get lost in them for hours but I’m usually too tired to keep my eyes open. But when I sleep, I dream of the machines they will become.

Carlos and I met when I was very small. He says I was an eevee back then but I don’t remember much at all about my life as an eevee. He also says that I came from a breeder that he knows personally and that when I did come to live with them, I was already a vaporeon.

I vaguely remember a woman that he loved very much. Carlos says that she gave me to him as a Valentine’s Day gift. She was obsessed with pink. Then she was gone and he was very sad. I did my best back then to be his rock and grow quickly. That’s probably why I don’t remember much about life before I was a vaporeon; my focus in life was set and I don’t like to look behind me.

It’s getting late. Carlos says it’ll be a busy day tomorrow, so I guess this is a good place to stop. How does one properly end a journal entry?
