Abilene is a player character of Asterisk395 who also happens to masquerade as the supervillain Rosemaster.

Appearance

Regular

Abilene Macraul has back-length, bushy green hair. Her preferred aesthetic is stark and intimidatingly stylish--near monochrome with hints or shades of green, suits and dark glasses even in more casual settings.

Left to her own devices she defaults to comfortable gardening wear, sleeve tattoos of leafy vines visible on her arms. It's a rare individual who sees her like this, however.

She carries with her as a matter of course her white cane and her service Natu, Lanatus, who resembles an oversized Watmel more than any avian.

Rosemaster 🌹

As Rosemaster, her garb is dramatic and flowery. It is themed loosely off of her Roserade, Rosa, and features frills in black and purple aplenty. Accents in green and gold highlight the stark white of most of her costume--vine-embroidered opera gloves, thigh-high boots, the classic bodice--and her elegant masquerade mask with glowing LEDs set where pupils would be. Much as in actual Roserade, her hair is done up in such a way that it's unclear if it's hair or headpiece, in colors suiting the rest of her costume.

Personality

Abilene is frequently harsh, dismissive, and very strong-willed. She has very little patience for anything that would distract from her work or her collection, and does not suffer fools so much as fools suffer her. Unflappable.

It is notable, however, that her plants are well-cared for.

Backstory

She is a scion of the Macrauls. What else is there to say?

Her yearlong absence has not diminished her reputation in the slightest.

Pokémon Collection

• Castanea (Chesnaught)
• Sorbus (Torterra)
• Rosa (shiny, vampiric Roserade (no chlorophyll) )
• Sapinda (Tropius)
• Lanatus (Grass/Psychic Natu, resembles a sapient Watmel)
• Botanica (a Dhelmise driving a car--her monster)

Abilities

• An experienced botanist and horticulturalist, both for Grass-type Pokémon and mundane plants.
• Somewhere, has learned or developed how to cultivate plants that ordinarily grow only within or near dimensional instability--Seeds and Wands among then.
• An effective--if blunt--battler, and a cultivator of Pokémon.
• A minor talent in Dark Obscura, of a physicsl variety--possesses insufficient Aura to form a construct without emotion or herbs as fuel, but has honed several forms as a last-ditch recourse:
  • Feint Attack: Her preferred use, allows her to aim a gun or Wand at any target she knows exists.
  • Sucker Punch: As the above but less so
  • Thief: Yeah
  • Night Slash: Her costliest construct, usable only in extremis. Prefers scythes.

Achievements

• Defeated the Kalos League
• Cornered Lumiose's farmer's markets and cultivated a terrible demand for the high-grade luxury items produced from her collection.
• Grows some very nice weed.
• Secured some unspecified means of extracting Aura and infusing it in Herbal Medicine. Sells it artisanally-blended to the highest bidder.
  • ...and offers non-homeopathic variants covertly to vampires sworn to secrecy.
• Fought to the semifinals of the Galar League as challenger 420

Trivia

• She is one of a set of identical triplets.
• She is transgender.
• Each of her Pokémon is contained in an Apricorn Ball she crafted by hand.
• She runs a vaguely horrific Lumiose-spanning informal competition in which various botany enthusiasts and also her brothers try to beat up her couriers and each other to take her deliveries, as a distraction from work she deems more important.
• She is clinically blind, and uses various Natu as seeing-eye Pokémon.
  • (She suffers from unusually early-onset LHON, and wears her Blackglasses largely as part of her aesthetic sensibilities. Her brothers, sharing her genome, prepare for similar.)
• What affection she and the majority of her family show is largely expressed by the throwing of money.
• She and her brothers are orphans.
