RENARD COLEONE

● Renard was born to an upstanding family in Unova. With rich parents and a prestigious history behind him he was expected to do a lot and give off a certain impression to the public. The pressure was heavy and he quickly found himself unhappy with the amount of it. Still he tried his best to satisfy all the demands presented to him.

● This became hard when he realized when he was in his early teens that he was gay, and that his family would rather that not be a part of public knowledge. Forced into the closet, he suffered for years denying himself. Eventually he met another boy in his situation and dated him quietly and in secret. They often met in the forest and Renard began to equate the trees and surroundings with freedom.

● In the end their relationship ended tragically, with both families learning of their relationship and his boyfriend being moved away. Renard in the meantime was subject to a lot of judgement and hate, found himself running away frequently and staying in the forest where he and his boyfriend used to meet. Interacted a lot with the pokemon there -- particularly bug-types.

● At seventeen his parents tried to step up his involvement with the family and its operations, but he didn't want any part of it. This led to conflict, which eventually resulted in Renard running away much further than he ever had before. Though first he stopped in the forest with a pokeball, wanting a memento from the time he spent there. Afterwards he managed to connect with family in Hoenn and quickly found a way to the other region.

● Spent a year with them, living quietly in Petalburg. Spent a lot of time in the woods here as well, and there decided to try this whole trainer thing. Due to his relationship with and empathy for bug-types and the image they had with many people decided to specialize in the type and become champ with a team of them. Starting, of course, with the pokemon he caught before leaving home.
