Well I've been meaning to do solo pics and bios of my bad girls for some time, trying to squeeze them in before AC now, starting with the meowth everyone loves to hate, the leader of Team Jet.

Nicole Blackclaw was born into wealth and privilege as the daughter of billionaire promoter and entrepreneur Felix and actress Madeline Blackclaw. Although Nicole was born and grew up with every advantage she learned at a very early age that if she wanted to keep it she would have to fight for it. A smart and enthusiastic student, she began training under some of the greatest fighters and trainers in the world, courtesy of her father's connections.

From an early age Nicole trained in the fighting arts and secrets known to only a handful of fighting pokemon. Not only was she able to overcome her species' traditional weakness to such attacks, but she was able to master them to such a point that her skills and abilities became very strongly oriented towards combating them. This unusual tactic combined with her drive and ambition would pay off, as Nicole twice won the Junior League Championship - once when she was ten years old and again when she was twelve.

As a freshman at the Poke-Combat Academy of Higher Learning Nicole declined to join any teams, focusing exclusively on solo battles. She was consistently at or near the top of her class in academics and battles. Her record was quite impressive and although it wasn't perfect, she never lost to the same opponent twice. Nicole was a popular student, and although regarded as a bit stuck up and egotistical, was friendly and sociable with just about everyone.

Just prior to the start of her junior year Nicole's father Felix took in a young runaway named Tenebra and in time formally adopted her as his own daughter. Nicole did not take well to this development. For sixteen years she enjoyed a monopoly on her father's attention and had done everything she could to make him proud. Now suddenly she had competition, and although her parents merely assumed she needed time to adjust, it hasn't worked.

In the just over a year since then Nicole's anger, resentment, and jealousy has spiraled out of control. She formed a team under her father's request and has thus far used it to aggressively assert what she sees as her rightful place as number one in her father's eyes. Her competitive nature has been been distorted to where she actively and aggressively crushes anyone who might be seen as a threat to her team's position as the best, and she does so by any means necessary. She also takes every opportunity to take out her bitterness on any other student unfortunate enough to cross her path.

Nicole is a master of many forms of fighting arts usually reserved to fighting-type pokemon. Her emphasis is on defensive and counterattack strategies, which serves as a hard counter to many of the other fighting types which are usually very aggressive. Nicole is exceptionally intelligent and cunning and has an uncanny ability to spot a foe's weaknesses and jump on them like a shark. There isn't an opponent out there that she can't take apart given time, and she has all manner of tricks and attacks that she still has yet to reveal to anyone. She just doesn't seem to understand that one can't be a champion burdened with the weight of an enormous chip on their shoulder.
