History	Saharah  was born and raised in a forest far off the Johto map in a huge clan of eeveelutions. She was taught the values of life and to judge without reason. As a young eevee, Saharah was playing in the forest one day, chasing scattered leaves, when she heard a noise. Saharah glanced up and found herself face to face with a little girl. The girl seemed innocent enough, but the only people around there were known for their mistrust and cruelty of pokemon. Saharah was scared, but the girl soon won her trust; not attacking her and speaking in a calm voice with a soft smile. The eevee and her became friends in no time but they kept their friendship a strict secret. After a few years, the girl was old enough to set off on a pokemon journey and took her beloved eevee with her, not tellig her own village that she had chosen a life with pokemon. Saharah was delighted. Life was perfect and she evolved for her trainer not a week after they set off, leaving their homes after sad farewells.   Saharah's trainer soon added to the team a Raichu, a Fearow, a Gardivoir, and a Dragonair. She never captured any other pokemon for they were all that she desired. They were like a huge family, trusting each other with love and supporting one another.    But one night Saharah's trainer wanted to go out on a quick walk, through the woods around Lake Rage. Saharah volenteered to go with her even though it was almost midnight. The two set off and strolled through the woods like they always did. But this time something was different, there was a creepy looking man with a Salamence at his side. The man challanged Saharah's trainer to a battle and, despite having just one pokemon, she accepted, but little did she know what it would cost them. Not a minute into the battle, the Salamence scored the side of Saharah's face and the Espeon screamed in terror and pain. She could no longer see out of her right eye, nor could she hear. Saharah lay in a pool of blood and agony as the dragon pokemon slashed at her over and over again, ranking her side with gashes.   Saharah's trainer screamed and she knew she would have tried to help, but the Espeon heard the cruel man laugh. Then a gunshot. There was too much noise and blood around Saharah to have known exactly what happened, but when Saharah woke up several days later from her comalike state, there was blood everywhere but her trainer was gone. Saharah was devestated. She had lived her entire life with that huiman and now she was gone. Saharah's whole life had been torn apart. She wondered aimlessly for mounths, training and strengthening her body to learn to cope with its new weakness. Soon enough Saharah could fight and  hunt for herself, but that was not punishment enough. She vowed then to not return to her fellow team mates until she found her beloved trainer. And as another act of her new life, changed her name, calling herself Hera from then on.But it wasn't a week later that something strange started to happen.   Hera noticed that pokemon were becoming 'ill' with a disease that caused them to become purple and grey with startling red eyes. Hera fled. She ran away from where ever she could to escape it, but then she noticed that the humans were gone,too. Evacuated. Hera felt alone and lost in the world. All she wants is a soul to speak to. After so long in solitude, Hera finally found a group if pokemon that would accept her. The Espeon soon came to trust the group and befriended Alice the Luxio and Strix the Nidoking along with the others, Ciara the Mightyena and Dante the Houndoom. However, they were attacked while in their place of hiding, a cabin not far from Snowpoint City, and in the effort to flee became mortally wounded. Only Strix and Alice,whom had then evolved, kept her alive and stopped the bleeding. Sadly, however, there was little peace for the small group. Upon running into an old friend of hers, a Raichu named Yon-co, terror struck and several members of the group where struck down. They fought their hardest against a group of Sneasel gathered around a terrible Abomasnow and while they emerged victorious another threat rose. An undead Houndoom with a heart as black as night stole two lives, her friend's Ciara and Yon-co, before leaving the already broken group and even more battered mess. She struggles to understand everything that has happened on top of her new found feelings for Strix, but it seems that this new world still has yet more in store for this already fragile feline.
Appearance	Stress and a weary soul have dulled this once vibrant Espeon's delicate pelt. Numerous scars litter her body and blind her right eye, the ocular orb forever sealed behind a painful memory. A bright red crack runs along the side of her jewel along the same side where very much of her ear was torn away. Her legs are long and thin, excellent for running and dancing though she has done little of the latter since being so brutally damaged. As life gets harder and harder for her Hera's sad expressions tend to linger more and more, more often seen with a frown than a smile these days.
Personality	The frail and timid Espeon is soft spoken and shy, relying on rare bursts of courage to speak up for herself. Having lost the family she had lived with for her entire adult life, Hera is very shaken, unsure of the world and constantly questioning herself. Sorrowed constantly, she has a hard time holding onto faith in anything anymore. She has problems letting go, though, shown well in how much she keeps looking for her Kimmy. Plauged by nightmares and a physical fragility, this Espeon really is tougher than she ever gives herself credit for. Truly beautiful despite the scars, it is always a rare treat when the psychic type smiles or laughs. yearning for happiness and a reason for will to survive, she tends to hold onto strongly to anyone who can change her sorrow to joy. Once the leading Pokemon of her team beneath her beloved trainer, Hera knows how to take care of those under her and can give orders. This can backfire, though, as her newfound insecurities keeps the Espeon questioning herself and if she actually has the ability to help in a situation. Now having a noticably hard time keeping her head clear when under so much stress, she now has to fight to keep her mental health at coping if she ever dreams of being assistance to those around her. Ashamed of her physical appearance, Hera is very sensetive to those who will stare at her long since faded scars. Plauged by nightmares both in the waking world and in sleeping, hallucinations are something she struggles with. Seeing her own demons even when awake are just another side effect of the crippling guilt and fear she holds thick inside her revolving around her old team, especially Kimmy.Indecisive in her need to face the past and simply forget it, a perfect example is her change of name. But despite all of her short comings, the Espeon is truly a remarkable individual. A gifted ally in a fight, she still feeds her amition to someday learn the move Psychic and master the powerful ability. A master at survival and knowing her own body since the attack, Hera knows how to shift her only working ear and eye to keep a touch on her enviornment. Motherly to those who need it when not sick mentally and forced to be antisocial, she would love to settle down and have a family someday after the Epidemic. Though Hera realizes this is a simple pipe dream at this point in time, she never loses hope.
