  | GENERAL | 

    Hometown: Crater City

    Personality: She is a total bubbly sweetheart always trying to either find the best in people or make people smile. Though she has a devilish side that shows when she opens up more to people close to her. She has a good sense of humor and the easiest way to get her to open up is by making her laugh. She has high anxiety especially when she is in large crowds though she tries to keep it hidden to not make others worry about her. She is very protective with ones she cares about and if need be she will not be afraid to attack the problem head-on even if it puts her life on the line.

    | HISTORY |
    She came from a not so happy home with her not knowing what happened to her father since he disappeared from her life when she was 2. Her mother never told her nor her older brother Dustin about where their father went but something that day snapped within their mother. Since their mother slowly became distant towards Dustin and Tayler that she only did the bare minimum as a parent, so she wouldn't cause protective services to take her children away ruining her image. She started being verbally abusive with Dustin and Tayler but mostly Tayler when they got around 12/14 respectively always commenting on Tayler's looks and what she did, nothing Tayler did was ever good enough. Dustin tried to protect her from as much as he could, but some comments always got through to Tayler.

   Finally, it all came to a head after Tayler turned 17, her mother got into a one-sided yelling match after Tayler tried to talk to her about more serious topics but it ended in Tayler being kicked out. Luckily Dustin already moved out at 18 and took her into his apartment, where her mental health managed to improve greatly. As a little welcoming gift to a new better life Dustin got her Vei, her psychic nidoran which doubled as her comfort pokemon. She never went anywhere without Vei if she could help it and always loved the feeling of having a pokemon with her. She started volunteering at the local pokemon center taking care of the pokemon there as a way to feel happy and help others feel the same way, even adopting new pokemon that grew a bond with her. She would also go on ventures with Dustin where she discovered more pokemon looking for a chance and Tayler would give them that chance. Maybe for the fact that she got a second chance at a happy life, why not give the pokemon she encounters that chance. She slowly became a surrogate mother to both her pokemon as well as the pokemon she took care of while volunteering and enjoyed every moment of it.

   After the years of volunteering and odd jobs to make ends meet she was able to get a job as one of the nurses at the pokemon center where she more specialized in as a caretaker for the eggs, baby pokemon, and surrendered pokemon who wanted a second chance. When the other nurses discovered that Tayler could communicate with the pokemon they asked her to be a on call translator to help with any scared pokemon get the help they need. 

   Tayler hasn't had the best love life either despite being a hopeless romantic and pansexual. She never really had the chance to find anyone when was still in her childhood home since her mother never really wanted her to date. So, Tayler never tried out of the respect she thought she had for her mother at the time. Though when she was 21 she tried dating and found a Gengar altered human through a chat app, and she thought they hit it off enough to start dating. This was also her first everything, so she didn't know what to expect. Well, It was nothing like she expected when she compared it to any of the films and stories she watched. The guy was controlling, wanted all of her time and putting all his 'needs' way above Tayler's, but hide all these actions in love bombing so she didn't know any better. That relationship lasted about six months then one day, the guy completely ghosted Tayler. She thought this was normal and waited by the phone as much as she could which went on for a year. Then she discovered the guy moved on by dating another girl, leaving Tayler all alone heartbroken. It took a lot of distractions and heart to heart talks with Dustin to get her just to help her move on. Which helped when she spent half of her time working at the Pokemon Center, but she got back to her bubbly adorable self. She would still want to date someone in the future, but she now has standards for herself which involves having her similar love with caring for pokemon and treating her as an equal not just a tool.

    | Trivia |

~She has a sweet soft-spoken voice.

~When her hair is undone from the braid it ends to where her calves are.

~Due to her being an altered human of a fairy type she is more immunocompromised to poison attacks if they hit her. An example would be if she was bitten by a Poison Fang, Tayler would instantly need to be rushed to the hospital since it is almost fatal for her. Which is why she is skittish of poison pokemon. Similar reason to steel types as well.

~Thanks to her Anxiety she gained this little ability Dustin calls "Little Ducklett". It is when Tayler gets too anxious or overwhelmed due to large loud crowds she will unintentionally stick close to someone she knows that brings her comfort. Sometimes she would even lean or hold onto them as well just to help herself calm down. It kind of stems from her hating to be alone.

~Her favorite types are Ghost, Fairy, and Psychic.
