BAE, SU-JI

[attr="class","RANGER3"]


History has always been in shades of grey. One sketchy situation after the other with a couple of vague details splashed in to keep the world from knowing how you made it to the top. The only real thing you can trust is your pedigree. A good pedigree is knowing your family name means something. It's knowing that your family name will continue to live on and that history was on your side when it came down to sculpting what would be a name to a last a lifetime. It means being blessed with some of the best genes and the best stories, that even when you die somehow you'll live on until the end of time. The Bae family was nothing short of a good pedigree. Their start as Tauros and Milktank ranchers in Kanto, translated well when the family migrated to the Hoenn region where they introduced the foreign livestock to the Hoenn natives in the early 1700's. Some of the earliest dairy farms and meat distributors came straight from the Bae family who used their knowledge to create some of Hoenn's first organic dairy products. The Kanto-natives began to spread throughout all of Hoenn, setting up shop in some of Hoenn's busiest districts to better expand their business, which would soon spread from Hoenn to Johto to Sinohh, and so on and so forth. This continued on for centuries, and by then the family had begun to mingle with the natives of each individual region through arranged marriages to keep their family name in line.[break][break]

The Bae's would continue to mingle old money and new money as the family began to expand to more than just simple dairy farmers; eventually dabbling in the field of training pokémon and utilizing them for combat, sport, contests and fashion. From trainers to contest judges, the family would continue to expand and build their empire until many became wealthy business tycoons known for their viciousness and shady deals with some of the world's greatest threats such as Team Rocket and Team Magma. Many of the Bae's were arrested during Team Rocket raids as they were seen as contributing factors to the gang's success. At the center of these scandals, were the family members that moved in to sweep these atrocities under the rug often times paying off lawyers and journalists to keep their mouths shut. And hey it worked! The family name continued to shine in the spotlight and they lived on as strived with a constant money flow from whatever it was they produced during various points in history.[break][break]

No one bothered to question the family's backhanded deals and trades so long as they continued to produce whatever it was the public desired, and with more production came more money, and more money led to bigger mansions and estates filled with just about anything a rich man could ask for. It was in these fancy estates that a young Su-ji grew up and made the whole family do a complete 360. Even as a toddler it was painfully obvious that the dame wasn't cut out for the business life that her family had paved for her. She lacked the family's zeal for money and business and found it much more enjoyable to sit outside and play with the wild pokémon that passed through her yard, sometimes finding herself wandering off in the small forest behind her backyard. Su-ji didn't care about her family's wealth, let alone how the managed to upkeep it instead she was more interested in the natural world and what it had to offer. And it was with a heavy heart that her mother and father sent their defective little child to live with her grandparents in Fortree, who had since given up on the hustle and bustle of the business world and took retirement in a quiet little home where they only answered to nature's calling.[break][break]

Now with her grandparents, a young Su-ji took each day one step at a time without a single care in the world. The pressures of answering to her family's calling was now far behind her and all she had to do was wake up, learn and explore. Befriending wild pokémon and understanding their hidden language was down pact by the time she was 10, and from there her love and understanding for the pokémon world was second nature. It was with this new zeal and nature that she managed to befriend and capture the illusive Cleffa. A new dream emerged and Su-ji knew exactly how she was going to spend the rest of her days and eventually she began to pave the way to become a Pokémon Ranger.[break][break]

Su-ji's zeal of the becoming a Pokémon Ranger led her to entering the Pokémon Academy where she brushed up on her knowledge and everything there was to know about Pokémon, training, and/or raise them. The icing on the cake was when she managed to graduate top of her class earning her a little attention despite her youth. Nothing more noticeable than seeing a wallflower blossom, especially when that flower was bred from a powerful family in the Hoenn region. Her entrance into the Pokémon Rangers turned a few heads too, especially once her mother and father caught wind that their darling angel was no longer living with her grandparents. [break][break]

Fast forward a couple years and Su-ji sprouted into quiet the young woman, with a knowledge of Pokémon to match. The dame was well on her way to earning her Ranger License when she was gifted a Mudkip in honor of her hometown. And at the crisp age of 18, just after her birthday, she managed to obtain her ranger license. She was one of them now. She was a guardian of nature. Her dream was a reality, just like she had always wanted.
