Character Name: Mandy Ramirez Series: Original Timeline: After Nevermore's second defeat.
Original Character Background: - Their world: The mundane elements of Amanda's world can be best compared to Earth circa 1995, or rather, Earth as portrayed in shonen anime circa 1995. It's an era of relative prosperity, energy is cheap but not terribly eco-friendly, home electronics are ubiquitous but still fairly chunky, fashion favors bright colors, synthetic fabrics, and fanny packs. This is, broadly, referred to as the human world - in contrast to the Pogemon world, a bucolic, pastoral alternate reality which for the past several years has been increasily easily accessed through magical portals generated by the pure shared love of pogs.
Yeah. Like the little cardboard discs? In this world, the game played with them is a little more complex than the one in our world, taking on elements of a collectable card game such as Magic: the Gathering, Yugioh!, or, well, the Pokemon TCG. In the basic, mundane version of the game, monster pogs are powered up by landing pogs with upgrades or special moves on top of them. However, for reasons that are not well understood and in fact are probably just "anime logic", frequent games of pogs can open portals to the Pogemon world, allowing living Pog Monsters to pass through and form empathic bonds with the players of the game. Once such partnerships are formed, the game takes on an entirely different aspect, with the Pogemon engaging in physical (albeit usually theatrical) combat and recieving genuine power increases from the support pogs. Pogemon can be broadly classified in to three types, Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral, with a rock-paper-scissors style cycle of advantage and weakness; strategy typically depends more on playing to the strengths and weaknesses of a particular monster than on gaming out abstract mechanics. With sufficiently close bonds between a Pogemon and their human "Slammer", the Pogemon can undergo pogmentation and take on a temporary second, stronger form during battle.
Although this game is relatively recent - the first physical Pogemon having arrived a little over three years ago - it has already become a massive cultural phenomenon, leading to the constrution of specialized infrastructure (and in the region most prone to portals, the construction of a new city, Pogtopia City), the elevation of the most successful Slammers to celebrity status, and at least two near-world-ending events that people are perhaps a little too sanguine about, because again, 90s monster-buddy anime logic, a thing I am sure we are all familiar with here at Victory Road. - Their history: Mandy spent most of her later childhood and early teens in foster care; there's no single great tragedy that lead to this, just a lot of bad luck and poor choices on the part of her caregivers leading to a kid who's lost track of whatever familial connections she might have had left, getting bounced around from household to household. If asked, she's not going to spin some great dramatic tale about it - it sucked, she got tough, she doesn't really want to talk about it. And she did get tough; by the time the fad for pogs turned into the Pogemon phenomenon, Mandy was just shy of 15 and prone to getting into fights at the drop of a hat. The well-meaning foster parent who gave her her first pogs probably hoped that she'd channel her confrontational impulses into the game.
It worked, although admittedly not in the way intended. Mandy quickly managed to summon and bond with a cartoon motercycle Pogemon named Hot Rodney, who on the one hand was probably the most stable influence in her life in years. On the other hand, once the pair had established themselves in the local battling scene, Hot Rodney was only too happy to encourage Mandy in her schemes to run away to Pogtopia City and pursue competetive battling full time.
She was good at it. They were good at it, a highly efficient team that quickly rose to the top of the newly established rankings. Admittedly, Mandy did not make many friends among the other Slammers; she didn't feel the need to. After winning the first official Pogemon Championship tournament, the pair enjoyed a brief time as legitimate celebrities, easily supporting themselves on sponsorships, prize money, and exhibition matches. They didn't allow themselves to slack off, though; a fancy televised match was all well and good, but both Mandy and Hot Rodney continued to thirst for chances to prove just how formidable they were.
The chance that presented itself was a little too real - a powerful Pogemon named Nevermore had his gaze set on conquering both the Pogemon and Human worlds, and the authorities of the Pogemon world put out a call for the uniquely powerful bonded human-pogemon teams to stop him. Naturally, Mandy rose to the challenge, alongside one of the few teams that had given her and Rodney a serious challenge in the tournament ring, an almost painfully cheerful girl named Katie and her equally adorable bird Pogemon partner, Rappy. The four ultimately defeated Nevermore, at great cost - during the final battle, Rappy managed to acheive an unprecidented second pogmentation, proof of the strength of his bond of friendship with Katie... and Hot Rodney was outright killed, making Mandy the first known Slammer to have that bond severed by the untimely death of her partner.
Without Katie and Rappy's help, Mandy managed to make it back to the Human world, but she was deeply traumatized by the loss and by the time she managed to pull herself together a little she found herself thoroughly fallen from grace. Katie resolutely vouched for her heroism in their battle against Nevermore and remained as much of a friend as Mandy would allow, but Mandy had never been well-liked by the competition in the first place, and many Slammers viewed her with suspicion for the loss of her partner. Mandy herself was stricken with survivor's guilt and also could not quite shake the feeling that Nevermore was not as thoroughly defeated as the others believed, and she spent much of the next year sinking into depression, living off her savings, and generally avoiding people.
When the next year's Pogemon Championship rolled around, Mandy spent most of the tournament hanging around the periphary, no longer able or desiring to enter, but not quite able to stay away, either. For their part, Katie and Rappy progressed smoothly through the tournament, until being defeated by a mysterious lone Pogemon - a prodigy fighter with whom Mandy had a few run ins of her own, as Aniel turned out to be an old friend of Hot Rodney, and was openly hostile to his friend's disgraced Slammer.
Then, at the end of the tournament, a rift between the two worlds briefly opened above the pitch, showing Nevermore's base of operations, fully rebuilt; in the days that followed, portals allowed scores of hostile Pogemon working for Nevermore into Pogtopia City. News soon broke that Nevermore had been sheltering with one of the leading figures of the rising Slammer's Union, shattering Mandy's already shakey faith in the organization. Mandy ignored official calls for unpartnered humans to stay out of the fight, going after the invading pogminions with a tire iron, and a year's worth of repressed anger. Still unpartnered, she nonetheless began carrying support pog items with her - sometimes to hand out to people who could put them to better use, but mostly because it made her feel better.
After stumbling through a portal into the Pogemon world, Mandy had a brief meeting with the Pogemon ruling council, with whom she still held some status after her part in foiling Nevermore's previous attempt to seize power. They granted her one of several pogs which, used in tandem, would indefinitely imprison a sufficiently weakened Nevermore - without a partner, she would not be able to use it, but the council trusted her to either bond with a new partner or hand off the pog to someone who would be able to put it to use.
Mandy expected to do the latter; however, a short time later, she encountered the Lone Pogemon, Aniel, struggling alone against a massive ambush of pogminions. She managed to get him to safety, and, after an overwrought first-aid session, they agreed to bond in order to take on Nevermore together and avenge Hot Rodney. They joined forces with a number of other slammer teams, including Katie and Rappy, to confront Nevermore; after a hard-fought battle, Mandy was the first to slam a prison pog down, and insisted on taking personal custody of the defeated villain to deliver him to the council personally.
Having defeated the Pogemon that killed her original partner, Mandy returned to the human world with a good bit more peace of mind and a new partner with whom she still shares an uneasy alliance. While their bond remains intact and if needed they're prepared to team up again, Mandy and Aniel have agreed to give each other some space. Mandy is turning her attention, and her remaining influence, to advocating for the inlusion of Pogemon in the Human world in contexts other than competetive battling. She's keeping a wary eye on the Slammer's Union, and finally kindling a genuine friendship with Katie.
Personality: Mandy has a deep drive to prove herself, a drive that she has for most of her life channeled into being extremely competetive and confrontational. Although the events of the past year have left her a little more introspective and grounded, she can still be very rough around the edges - quick to rise to a challenge, quick to anger, and with little concern for etiquette or respectability. She's used to depending on herself, her own wits, and (more recently) one other person with whom she is extremely in tune; she may instinctively rebuff aid when offered, preferring to succeed or fail on her own abilities than to depend on someone whose motives she does not know or trust.
On the other hand, she's very bright in a poorly educated way - she dropped out of a patchy highschool education to pursue professional monster battling full time - and a talented strategist, and if placed in a situation where she has to work with others, she prefers to be in control to some degree. If this is acknowledged and allowed, she's a brusque but effective leader, paying particular attention to members of the group that she sees as less confident or likely to be talked over. If she's expected to simply fall in line, she quickly becomes resentful and sullen or simply ignores directions in order to follow the course of action she feels is best; she has, as a rule, very little trust or patience for authority figures.
Mandy is used to being self-sufficient by now, but still well enough acquainted with poverty and dependency that she takes that self-sufficiency very seriously; failure is less a blow to her ego than it is a threat to her entire self-image and, often, to her way of life. The downward spiral of the year after Hot Rodney's death only reinforced this belief system; having finally taken steps to rebuild, she's determined not to let anything undermine her hard-won progress toward recovery - and while things have been on a definite upswing for her, grief and recovery are not linear, resulting in the occasional bad day that can easily develop into a full-blown crisis of confidence. She's more than a bit of a perfectionist; as long as she lives up to her own standards, she's brash and more than a little cocky, but if she falls short of her own demands on herself, she has a tendency to reject outside reassurance and obsess over her own failures.
Whether recruiting her to a cause, reassuring her in a crisis, or simply building a friendly rapport, peers are much better able to get through to Mandy than adults are - while she is slow to open up to anyone, and has a tendency to put up walls of dismissive or aggressive behavior, Mandy is not immune to the Power of Friendship. She's got a bit of a protective streak, as well - which may just as easily be directed at other teenagers that she percieves as vulnerable or inexperienced as at smaller children or animals. She's recently discovered a fondness for mentoring or coaching, as well; weaknesses or mistakes that would be ripe for exploitation if she were competing with someone are just kind of frustrating to watch when she's on the sidelines, and offering unsolicited advice is one of the ways she's most comfortable approaching people she does't know well.

Victory Road Sample: The last thing Mandy had been looking for was a new partner.
Of course, she wasn’t exactly pleased by the whole abruptly dumped into another universe with no warning thing, especially since it was, apparetnly, the dead of winter here, but that she could deal with. Had dealt with before. If nothing else, Mandy was adaptable; she had little doubt that if she kept her nose to the grindstone she’d either find her way home, or, failing that, figure out how to make her way in this world. It wasn’t like there was a lot waiting for her back home at this point. Vindication had not actually restored much more than her self-esteem.
But she didn’t need some cheerful little ring of keys following her around. When she’d found the pokeball in her gear, she’d let the Klefki loose and tried to shoo it off.
The cheerful little ring of keys had other ideas.
“I’m tellin’ you kid, I’m a bad risk,” she said, raising her voice just a little. She didn’t stop and look over her shoulder to see if the Klefki was still following; she didn’t really need to. The darn thing jingled, and from the sound of it it was having no difficulty keeping up with her.
“Klef!” the creature objected, because of course it couldn’t even manage intelligable speech. It bobbed around her head, curiously investigating her piercings.
After a long moment – longer than it needed to be, although Mandy would not have admitted it – she slowed to a stop in the middle of the path. She certainly hadn’t felt anything like a Pogemon bond, but it was clear that this pokemon had no intention of clearing off. If the little weirdo wasn’t going to leave her alone… she hooked a finger though the Klefki’s loop, dragging it around in front of her face. “I am not gonna go easy on you,” she warned, wagging a finger in its little face. “You’re gonna pull your weight. Such as it is. Understand?”
“Kiiii!”
“Yeah, let’s see if you still feel that way in a few days,” she sighed, digging in her pocket. “Here, you like keys, right.”
