History (TW: Emotional child abuse, Though not outright shown, there are a few deaths mentioned in this app. as well as implied dark intentions from one of the characters mentioned in the app. Beware.)
Pashmina's life... is filled with much confusion, and inconsistencies. At least, it used to be. Maybe it would be best to start at the beginning.
Well, Pashmina was born to a Cinccino named Elizabeth, or at least that's what she names her, and her father named Vincent. She wrote an entire fairy tale about it when she was about seven years old, and almost has it ingrained in her brain. Once there was a lonely Minccino, small, sad, and afraid. She knew almost no one, and the few people she did know had unimaginably high expectations of her. She would become a Cinccino one day, but until then she would keep her precious fur well kept and perfect in almost every way. Only the softest fur would suffice, otherwise she would never be found worthy of a Shiny Stone.
Every day was the same. She would wake up, greet her mother in a way that was imperfect, and explain to her all the sacrifices that she made for her and how she was such an ungrateful child. Except, of course, she would always forget how to tell her how to greet her perfectly. Oops. Seemed to always slip her mind. The Minccino would soon escape her prison, and there she would meet her soulmate. Elizabeth and Vincent eventually got married and had many children, and Elizabeth's mother died alone and bitter, wishing that she could only have had as perfect a life as Elizabeth did.
Of course, this was only what she hoped for her own life. In reality, part of the fairy tale was true. There was a young Minccino who was constantly pestered as a child about perfection, and would sometimes have to be shut off from the outside world. She did have a mother who never approved of the very way she greeted her in the morning. However, her name wasn't Elizabeth... it was Pashmina. At least, that's what her "real" mother, Liona, called her. The Linoone always wanted to insert herself into a high society life, so it honestly wouldn't surprise her if her name was even a lie.
Early in life, Pashmina was like any other child. She loved her mother as any child would, and she was content being with her mother at all times. She actually became quite attached to her, in fact. Almost too attached. The Minccino was a little late in gaining her independence, and a little unsure of herself when interacting with other kids. However, this was not how she was by nature. In reality, Pashmina's parental dependency wasn't meant to last, as she, purely by accident, did end up making friends with another Pokemon her age. She was five at the time, and secretly had always wanted a friend, even if she was scared to. From that moment on, making friends would be a good motivator for the Minccino, but this was also the start to Liona's problems with her.
You see, the Linoone didn't exactly do anything to try to help her with her social problems. She was actually quite content with having her stuck to her hip. She could keep Pashmina's fur as well kept as she wanted that way. The Minccino's tail was an especially contentious thing the Linoone would have to contend to all the time. It would get caught. In. Everything! She hated that tail so much sometimes it almost seemed like she wanted to... But that couldn't be, could it?
...Anyway, Liona would insist time and time again that Pashmina was a name given to her by her birth mother. Problem with that was that she once claimed to be Pashmina's birth mother. When Pashmina asked why the name Elizabeth was written on her precious scarf that she had as a baby, Liona had to recant her statement, and in one fell swoop her life took a complete turn. Before this point in her life, she used to have great respect for Liona as a mother, but after realizing that she wasn't her real mother and that her life was a complete lie, her opinion of her slowly changed.
Pashmina started question other things in her life that didn't make sense. Why did she have to greet her mother just so? Why did Liona care about her fur so much? Why could her interaction with other children only be kept to a minimum? Why would kids look at her so weird when she talked about her mother's expectations, and why was she no longer allowed to see those kid if they ever learned about her life? All these things and more just didn't seem to add up to being healthy, so she decided she needed to leave.
Of course, that was easier said than done. The moment Liona would have an inkling that she planned to leave, Pashmina would have even stricter rules placed on her. When she was about twelve, Liona decided that she was "too old" to be with any Pokemon her age and needed to work on "doing something with your life. Something important". The Minccino had a feeling she wanted her to do something involving her fur somehow, but the little chinchilla didn't have a clue as to what.
Things were a bit unstable at that point, but everything shattered when she finally realized the truth. Liona had always been a bit obsessed with the finest of clothing, made only by the finest material. Wool from Wooloo or Mareep, material made from various plants, and even accessories made from gem stones. Only the finest for Liona, of course. Unfortunately, this obsession with owning the finest attire turned into something... darker. She soon became obsessed with fine fur from other Pokemon. You know where this is going.
Yamper, Vulpix and Ninetails (Either variation), Any rabbit Pokemon, any electric rodent, and it didn't stop there. Scales from Milotic, Gyarados fangs, and even the pelt of the legendary bests. These and more were materials that Liona had been seeking, but at the very top of that list... Cinccino. The fine, exotic feel of a Cinccino's fur was one that was lost on Pashmina as she never felt the fur of one before, but she finally understood. She wasn't with Liona to be raised as her child... she was being raised to eventually become a Cinccino, and then...
The Minccino made up her mind. With only her blue scarf and only her essentials, the Minccino sneaked out of the house in the dead of the night and never looked back. At fourteen she was on her own and desperately searched for a place to stay. For days, weeks, months, she had to survive in the wilderness. Any Pokemon she'd come across would viciously attack her, so much so that she almost found herself going insane. But she had to keep moving. She needed to know that she'd never have to see that Linoone again, the one she once considered a mother.
Finally, just as she thought she couldn't take it anymore, a glimmer of light appeared. The light, of course, was a town. A town called Gentle Falls, and goodness did it live up to that name. Here it was, the place where she would start a new life, get an actual education, and live the life she wanted. Explorers? What were those? That involved going into the wilderness again? Uh... no thanks. She wanted a normal life. A simple life even. Just your everyday delivery Pokemon would be good. Getting the opportunity to meet all kinds of Pokemon, and staying within Town limits? Only going with an escort the few times she would leave the town? She was sold!
This is where Pashmina's life would finally begin.
APPEARANCE & ATTIRE
Overall appearance
Pashmina looks like a normal Minccino. She's a little shorter than average, but only by an inch. She's a normal colored Minccino with absolutely no other differences from your average Minccino aside from the aforementioned shortness.
extras
Pashmina wears a satin, navy blue scarf that she wears around her neck in most cases, sticking to only taking it off in extremely warm occasions. When it's especially cold, she wears one made of wool that's the same shade of blue, but more of a plaid pattern, colored Navy blue and baby blue. (Scarf isn't shown in the picture cause I couldn't find one wearing the right shade of blue.)
