History: (its long...)
Zephyr did not originally start off as the dashing young man he is today; there was of course a beginning. This beginning was set at none other a place but a small orphanage in Castelia city. In this orphanage laid a young Hoppip by the name of Zephyr who was put here as his parents were too young and lacking funds to take care of him. Zephyr instead spent his younger days as a Hoppip at this orphanage, in which is can barely recall now, sitting around drooling like the youngster he was. This little Hoppip at the time really had no idea what was even going on around him except that there were a lot of other drooling little youngsters like himself. If given the chance Zephyr probably would’ve talked to them, but alas he hadn’t adapted the ability to speak yet, nor would he until he left this blur of a memory. The one day Zephyr can recall vividly however was the day he left the orphanage and set off to a new home. On a partical normal day, two women walked into the room of children in the orphanage. They was a careful Lilligant and an adamant Castform. Walking around the women each sat and talked to each of the little children and giggles were aplenty inside the room, but then the two arrived at Zephyr. While the women watched him, little Zephyr had no idea what to do. He still couldn’t talk, and the ladies seemed really pretty like all the other people who came in and stared at everyone. But there was just something nice about them that made him like the two even more. Unable to think of anything else to communicate with to the women, Zephyr put on the dorkiest smile in the whole world… and the next thing Zephyr knew, he was in the arms of the Lilligant lady and leaving….

This adoption then lead to a more memorable section to Zephyr’s life as he grew up in an apartment with his Mama Lempi and Mama Odilie. Mama Lempi was the one who stayed home with Zephyr and taught him how to read, speak, and many other educational things. Mama Odilie on the other hand would be off “earning the berries” as Mama Lempi put it, and Odilie would return and tell Zephyr of fascinating stories about the world. Those stories however weren’t the most interesting thing to little Zephyr. The most fascinating thing was the little bushes of berries out on the terrace. These berries were like magical orbs that appeared out of nowhere to Zephyr and they interested him to no end. After some time, and the persuasion of a little child, Zephyr began to help Mama Lempi with watering the berry plants. It was so much fun to Zephyr to water the berry plants, and eventually he figured out that the berries grew and not just magically appeared on the tree.

This activity of berries would later not only just be a hobby of fascination, but a hobby that he could sometimes share time with Mama Lempi. Eventually over time, and with an evolution from a Hoppip into a Skiploom for Zephyr, two new faces appeared into the house by the names of Aura and Vila. Aura and Vila were both Hoppips just as he was, but a lot noisier. The two little Hoppip girls would cause lots of ruckus as they ran around the apartment playing nonsense games such as “tag” and “catch the evil grunt from a various evil society”. Mama Lempi started to pay more attention to the two girls over the matured Zephyr. Zephyr was getting too old to be the center of attention, and so he would stay away from the girls and would almost never leave the terrace and his lovely berries. Occasionally Lempi would come out and chat with Zephyr, and both Aura and Vila would end up trying to play with Zephyr on a daily basis. In return to being bothered by Aura and Vila on a daily basis, Zephyr would purposely bore them about berries to get them to leave. Those two were definitely a handful, and eventually Lempi needed Zephyr to help in some way. Thus, one evening Mama Lempi came out onto the terrace and asked Zephyr to cook something for dinner while she taught the girls their daily lesson. Calmly Zephyr agreed and set off to the kitchen. The room was full of gizmos of cookery and deciding to not blow up the kitchen, he prepared simple sandwiches. The sandwiches when completed look bland, and an idea struck. Running out to the terrace, Zephyr grabbed some berries of the few kinds they had and chopped them up. Each berry had a different texture, taste, and certain combinations worked better than others. This was clearly a new level of understanding these orbs. Putting the sandwiches out on the table as Mama Odilie came in; the family had a nice dinner. While eating the flavorful sandwich, Zephyr’s mind began to fill with possible combinations and recipes for the berries he has spent years growing and selling. Thus berry “Chemistry” was born.

Over even more time, Zephyr began to cook meals for his family more and more while creating various mixes of berry combinations to create various concoctions of candies, soups, teas, breads, etc. Some combinations of berries even made a Pokémon feel better, more awake, and even a little bit faster. Berries were certainly a fascination indeed, but there was always one known problem. The quality of the berries would be lacking. Sure, Zephyr could just grow berries, but the terrace had limited space, and certain berries could possibly be a potential threat around Aura and Vila. If the berry was expensive it could end up being chucked down into the streets by one of the girls, and expensive berries were well, expensive. Plus the expensive berries took forever to grow and certain concoctions needed them right away. Zephyr could also just go to the market, but those berries came from who knows where, and the quality was usually diminished. These little things didn’t both Zephyr for a while, but eventually it was time to follow his passion outside of the city. Packing a suitcase and taking his berry bag, Zephyr said his goodbyes to his family before leaving to who knows where…


Personality: basically a calm guy but can on some occasions get super-duper excited he gets a super dorky smile when this happens, such as a very successful outcome to a multiple tested substance that has taken basically a year to perfect. Never usually sad or startled over years of dealing with failure and crazy little sisters, and he has yet to really learn of the meaning of love of another being or hate of another being. Zephry is a little bit of a social derp as when coming to friendship. He can talk to people, just never got to get some friends considering he lived his life on a terrace with two noisy little girls.

Hobbies: -Berry Gardening
-Berry “Chemist”- (basically creating various soups, teas, candies, and foods from berries… this is also known as being a chef, but Zephyr prefers chemist.)
Favorite Food: Pina-Bluk Berry Cake
Favorite Berry: Lansat Berry
Extra:
-Likes: Berries, sunlight, wind, nature, floating, that smell when you wake up on a beautiful day
-Hates:cold things such as snow, those moments when he has to wear a hat, not too fond of rain either, also mushy grounds

-Sleep powder (sometimes he just can’t fall asleep at night)

-Fall/Winter:- a long sleeved striped leppa berry shirt, white and red sneakers, plain white socks, and red pants
-All Year: Chemist apron black and clear safety goggles (not in picture)
More Extra:
-yes he floats (not full out superman fly, just like float a few inches off the ground)
-prefers to float most on rainy days as to not get his feet touching the mushy earth, to him it feels nasty okay?
-not that much of a macho man….or a runner
-relies more on intellect, and cooking berry chemistry
-short height wise
-Zephyr's flower makes it hard for him to wear hats, especially when the flowers closes and so basically all her can wear are sombreros and really tall hats
-most explosions don’t phase him…. let’s just say the his families’ kitchen got a lot of repairs for a while. Though he is now a very good chef chemist.
-he has three yellow freckles on each side of his face
-Zephyr also has a gap between his front two teeth

He seems super adorable! >u<


There's some minor subject-verb agreement and grammar related concerns in your history, but other than that I think it's pretty good. Explains his interest in berries, shows off the way he deals with possible annoyances, tells why he leaves; it hits some pretty important information, so I don't think there's an easy way to shorten it either. But it's really not too long, and you've divided it into nice paragraphs.


I don't see any problems with the design either. Best of luck getting in! :'D
