Brief Biography
Date of Birth: May 2
Blood Type: A
Koharu lives with her family in Vermilion City and attends a school there as well. Koharu is also a childhood friend of Gou.She grew up in the shadow of her father, Professor Raymond Cerise. A born genius when it came to Pokémon, Professor Cerise was the start student of Professor Oak, and many thought that his daugther would follow in his footsteps. The pressure was on Chloe from a young age. In the beginning, this made her selfish, and spoiled as she craved the time and attention of all of those around her. In time, though, she began to grow colder and more disinterested with those around her, save her close circle of friends. This frigidity and callousness earned her the title of 'Chloe the Ice Queen' for a time, and there were many who thought she hated Pokémon and wanted nothing to do with them.And that might have been the case, had it not been for her friends. It was thanks to these friends, and the friends THEY brought into her life, that the cold, bitter girl began to change, opening her heart more to people and Pokémon, until she eventually became a Pokémon trainer herself.She is still quite blunt at times and has no qualms saying something hurtful if her audience truly needs to hear it, but as the pain she was in faded away, so too did her anger and bitterness, leaving a kind and sweet - if somewhat spicy - girl.Chloe has no aspirations other than to explore the world, meet new people, and decide what it is that she wants to do someday. Even with all the pressure, the words of her s
mother, Talia, greatly eased her pain. And she will continue this Journey, one step at a time with her friends and Pokémon by her side.She is currently in a romantic relationship with Goh (@CatcherGou). As she is a single-ship muse, no further romantic relationships will be accepted at this time.Achievements:
