Team Plasma Grunt

Cassia Reeves is a member of Team Plasma and is intent on doing her part in freeing Pokémon around the world. She keeps a cool head and has no shortage of questions to pose toward normal Pokémon trainers, seeking to sow doubt in the morality of how they treat their partners. Equipped with robes and a headdress made to look like something a knight would wear, her overweight body works to her advantage by making her seem less imposing. However big she may be, though, she is still a threat.

Cassia is a member of Team Plasma, a group intent on freeing Pokémon from perceived societal abuse. Though for now she remains a rank-and-file grunt to be deployed with others just like her, she is a skilled conversationalist and devout follower of the group's teachings. Undyingly loyal to her goals, she is prepared to support the organization no matter the cost. Dressed in robes like a templar of old, Cassia wears her overweight figure without shame, knowing that she is made more approachable for her softness. In combat, she is no weaker for it either, as her battling skills as a Pokémon trainer are respectable considering her lowly position.

Raised in urban, low-income Unova, Cassia was exposed at a young age to the mistreatment of Pokémon on a regular basis. Whether via neglect or more overt kinds of abuse, some of her earliest memories involve people wagering the ownership of their Pokémon and treating them like disposable toys. Her allegiance to Team Plasma stems from an intense desire for change, and she is willing to forgive her leaders for any crime, no matter how heinous, if they promise to bring it about. Even despicable acts of cruelty towards the creatures she cares for so dearly can be easily excused, in her mind, as being a forgivable misstep on the path towards a greater good. No wrongdoing committed by Team Plasma could be worse than the status quo they're dismantling.

The abduction of domesticated Pokémon does not faze Cassia or her peers, and they engage in it regularly. Poké Balls represent civilization intruding upon and capturing nature, and thus they ought to be taken unless wielded by a righteous member of Team Plasma. Cassia maintains a close bond with her own two Pokémon, attending to their needs and affording them a level of trust unseen even by most of her other Team Plasma members.

Her first is her Drilbur, Eden, who, despite his short stature and assuming mole-like physiognomy, can use his gigantic claws to dig through the ground at dizzying speeds. His strength as a combatant is not to be underestimated, and Cassia relies on him as her ace. Her second Pokémon, though less fit for combat, is her Tranquill Jade. Jade is a decently-sized flying Pokémon, in contrast to Eden's ground typing, and she can hold her own if need be. Cassia regards them both as her partners, and they've internalized the ideals of Team Plasma to a degree where their presence is equivocable to Cassia having two extra pairs of hands. No matter how crooked Cassia's actions can be, it is clear that she loves her Pokémon.

As a soldier, Cassia is physically fit despite her appearance. No matter the width of her hips, the size of her belly, or the plumpness of her build overall, she passed a physical exam just like everyone else. She does eat more than her fair share quite a large amount of the time; the habit, which started after her escape from poverty, left her a little too eager to indulge when given the opportunity. With her ginger hair and cute face, in a moment she can switch between stern and amicable. Her light blue robes fit well, even if her dark underclothes emphasize her fatness.
