Appearance:
At a height of almost six feet tall, Demeter's over all stature is well kept and maintained with a full figure. She has a good, healthy weight, to her which comes from her almost routine work out regimen since even a serious administrator like herself can have a lazy day here and there, but she more often than not she is doing something active to maintain her stature. With this, she has a healthy level of stamina and strength, showing through strong shoulders, toned arms and torso, and well shaped legs. Demeter does well to keep up with her appearance not so much out of vanity, but knowing that she does have an image to uphold and wants to keep it that way.
On more days than not, Demeter does spend more time inside than she might outside with her position, but her skin still does have an almost healthy tan to it rather than how pale some of her co workers are known to be. She has layered, dark purple hair that comes just past her shoulders, longer bangs that she can easily tuck behind an ear or pin back to stay out of her face. Her features are sharp with high cheek bones and full lips, and thin wide set gray eyes that can give her an intimidating look, which has proven useful when working with underlings.
Her choice of dress can easily reflect her position of power and her status in the ranks of Team Cypher, typically going for fitted button shirts and suit jackets, and a pressed pair of slacks. She dresses to impress, and to make sure those around her know that she means business, always preferring to look clean, professional, and in charge.
Like most anyone, Demeter does have a few scars on her skin here and there, but otherwise doesn't have any defining features other than the tattoos that she has.
Personality:
Simply put, Demeter is a very strong, very driven, and very independant individual who knows what she wants in life, and she'll be damned if she's going to let someone get in her way. From a young age she learned that she had to take care of herself because no one was going to do it for her, and if she didn't take care of herself, then she wasn't going to get any where in life, and that was never going to sit well with her. She's seen what poverty is, to wonder where one's next meal is coming from or if they'll have a roof over their heads the next day, and that is a place that she never wants to go back to. She is very far from being spoiled, but knows how she wants to live her life now that she has power and money, the two things that have become the most important to her, the two things she knows are the only things that will ever get her any where.
Since then, Demeter has made it a point to show those around her that she is capable with a confidence that can go unmatched with most. She can very easily command the attention of a room of underlings with just her presence because she has had practice in knowing how to make those around her act how she would like based on her own body language. That is not to say that she dislikes a challenge, someone who would defy her authority, because in the end she will come out on top, either by compliance or by force, whichever comes first.
In short, Demeter is street smart, hard headed, strong willed, and very capable. She won't let anyone tell her what she can and cannot do, and will push back at anyone who thinks they can. With a quick wit and a sharp tongue, and a know how of how to use words and otherwise to her advantage to get what she wants, Demeter has learned how to play the world around her like a card game. If you keep cool under pressure, keep your poker face up, lie through your teeth, and know how to call a bluff to take out the weak links, then you'll always have the best hand at the table, and that's just how she likes to play.
History:
As far as Demeter is concerned, her story begins with her becoming an administrator for Team Cipher and having the power and security that she always looked for in her life, otherwise, she doesn't look to the past. Her past, though she would never make herself a sob story, is something that she doesn't like to talk about, but was what fueled her drive and shaped her into who she is today. The only ones who know of her past are her, and her two closest companions Loki and Calcifer, and she intends to keep it that way.
Virbank City, Unova is a growing industrial city with a great market for jobs. The ever growing plant that takes up a good majority of the actual city's area creates a constant flow of jobs, however a good sum of those that work at the plant don't actually live in Virbank City because of what the plant has done to it. There are some nice parts to Virbank, mostly on the coast and around the docks where the high end businesses can be found, but otherwise the plant has created a very poor air quality around Virbank City, which makes the cost of living rather low, which attracts desperate people looking to just keep a roof over their heads, and putting that many desperate people all in one place can make for a pretty rough neighborhood.
Demeter didn't spend too much time growing up in Virbank City, and she can at least be glad for that, but what she does remember from her young years kick started her drive to never go back. She was born to her two parents, a lazy dead beat father who could barely hold on to a job, and a not so loyal mother who spent a lot of time out at the bars and clubs to get away from said dead beat. They managed a small, two bedroom house that was livable, at best, but it could barely be called a home. Her mother did what she could to take care of Demeter as a baby, but she wasn't exactly mother of the year, especially when she became pregnant again and at four years old Demeter never got an answer to her wonderings on why mommy was all of a sudden bringing another man home that wasn't daddy when daddy was away.
At first, it was just a lot of fighting and yelling between her parents about if the baby was really theirs, and 'what are we supposed to do with her with another kid', but it wasn't long before her dad found out about her mother's secondary interest, and he was out the door without a second thought. With him out of the picture, it was an easy choice for her mother to go along with her new lover who decided to make a move to Castelia City, and Demeter had little choice but to go along with them, like she had much to miss in Virbank.
With a baby brother, and a baby sister on the way, Demeter was starting primary school in her mother's attempt to start cleaning up her act. Living in a bigger, and supposedly better, city, there was more opportunity for growth, she always said, and that's what Demeter truly thought. They still didn't have the best living conditions, especially with all the kids, but so far life wasn't as bad as it was in Virbank. She was going to school and learning and started making friends, her mom was trying to work at a cleaning agency around her and the baby and the one on the way, but her new 'father' was disappearing more and more as time went on.
Like any troubled kid with a rough time at home, Demeter was struggling in school and struggling with those around her, and she wasn't doing too good at keeping any friends. That was until one day she was walking home from school and was passing a particularly and unusually dark alley way for being the middle of the day. She didn't pay it any mind until a shadow came up from the ground and grabbed at her foot, dragging her screaming into the darkness. Where she should have been screaming in fear, she was actually screaming in anger, a fair amount of curses for a kid coming from her mouth with threats to match, kicking and hitting at whatever she could make contact with. Her reaction, or rather the opposite of the reaction that was being shot for caused the darkness to fade where in front of her a Zoroark and a Gengar came from the shadows that melted away, and though they didn't get a little girl reduced to tears, they still snickered all the same, but Demeter was going to have none of that. She bit back with words just as quick as they did, and the two Pokemon found a fight in a human they weren't expecting, and rather enjoyed.
From then on, Demeter had two unlikely, and less than friendly, friends; Loki, a smooth talking, mischievous, quick witted young Zoroark, and Calcifer, a wise cracking, street savvy, rather stubborn Gengar. The two were great friends, and roamed the city streets with little to do but screw around with the humans that passed by and what not, but with the young human they found that day, they rather liked the idea of having a connection to the world they mocked, something to do with their days, and so they spent them with Demeter. Calcifer could always be found in her shadow, and Loki used his illusions to hide himself as a human with Demeter, and for a time she thought things were pretty okay. Her siblings were getting older and needed less and less time with their mother, she was getting herself off the ground, but her 'father' was still the weak link that kept dragging them down whenever he would disappear and leave them. Demeter, by the age of fourteen had become a routine baby sitter, or a stand in mother it seemed, for her two siblings, but she never lost her connection to the outside world with Loki and Calcifer who over those years had taken to watching her dearly beloved 'father'.
Turns out, he was a gambler, part of an underground ring that was less than law abiding, and less than friendly, but to him the money was good, and it was never going to go away like getting fired or laid off. A time ago, Loki and Calcifer came back with this news for Demeter, and though she didn't quite understand it at the time, the two found a great pass time in learning how to play the games her father did, and in turn teaching her. They started to grow a sort of soft spot for the human after spending time with her, and loathed the mistreatment she received from the gambler, and thought what a treat it would be if he was out done by the one he took for granted.
It all came almost naturally to her, as Loki and Calcifer had started teaching Demeter. They would spend their time learning these games and the tricks of the trade watching him, and then come back to her and teach her what they saw, and she picked it up almost instantly. She practiced with them in her time stuck at home with her brother and sister, and with such an abundant amount of time on her hands, she became quite skilled. Eventually, under the guise of Loki's illusions and with Calcifer too, Demeter started making her way around the city in smaller games, learning, practicing, losing some and winning others, until she was really getting the hang of it all. She was learning how to read bluffs, how to make her own, how to keep her cool under the tightening pressure of a game, and even how to count cards. She was starting to make money for herself, a lot of money, and by the age of eighteen she had gotten into her 'father's' gambling ring and cleaned him out of everything he had. That money all went to her mother and her siblings in an attempt to help them live a better life under the guise of Loki pretending to be a generous business man at one of the offices her mother cleaned, but now that their 'father' had nothing, and was quickly losing his place in his gambling ring with little money to contribute, Demeter's mother made the choice to leave him but had little direction to go in.
In her time in the gambling rings she visited, Demeter heard about many 'job opportunities' that one could make a steady living with, and helped her mother and her brother and sister move west to the Orre Region. In Gateon Port, her mother found quick work, and was making a small, but steady living for herself and her two siblings, but Demeter seemed to have been misinformed about the job opportunities that were supposed to be in the Orre Region. She, Loki, and Calcifer had little they could do without a gambling ring in the city, so she bid farewell, proud of her mother for making due for herself, in search of something that she could do. She was going to run out of money soon if she couldn't find work for the three of them, but as they came to Pyrite Town, things seemed to be looking up, at least for the likes of them. Pyrite Town was a dirty old mining town that had a bad reputation, full of nothing but thugs and cheats that would do anything for money. Demeter found easy money for a bit in hustling here and there, but she caught wind of an underground type of business that sounded like one of the opportunities she remembered before, and she found Team Cipher soon after.
At first, becoming nothing more than a grunt, Demeter carefully considered after hearing before the mockery of Team Plasma, but as she stuck around she could see that Team Cipher was pretty serious about their work. Her job as a lowly grunt was only to obtain resources any way she could for their work, but as she grew in the team, she came to see more and more of what they were about, and she rather liked what she saw. They worked on the enhancement of Pokemon, a process of turning them into something they called Shadow Pokemon by essentially removing their emotions and leaving them with only their raw, base instincts. It was still in the works, and could be a bit glitchy for the inflicted Pokemon, but Demeter saw the potential of it, what the future could mean for someone who could control Shadow Pokemon. With that kind of power, they could be very influential and that promised a secure future, the kind of future she wanted for herself, and so she worked hard in Team Cipher, becoming one of the head admin of the entire operation, being granted a Shadow Pokemon of her own along with her trained team, and Loki and Calcifer whom still stayed by her side, a Rhydon they had captured in the deserts of Orre.
The science division of Cipher was working on a more powerful form of the shadow process as Cipher had caught a break, the capture of one of the legendary species Lugia. They hoped to have the first successfully turned legendary Pokemon, knowing the power that would come with it, and the promise of beating out threats from other underground teams, and after much deliberation, they were successful. Shadow Lugia now belonged to Team Cipher, but only for so long as the beast had broken free of it's confinements and destroyed half of the facility.
With Cipher in a mess, Shadow Lugia lose, and the threat of one of the other teams capturing it for themselves, Demeter took the charge to set off in search of the beast with a few of the other admin that weren't working on reconnaissance. However, with Loki and Calcifer by her side, she had an ulterior motive behind her leave. If she could find Shadow Lugia for herself, she could over take Cipher for its infidelity and the fools that let it break free and make the team better in her vision. With an entire team beneath her, and Shadow Lugia at her command, she could make sure she was at the top of the chain and wipe out any other enemy teams that posed a threat, and become one of the greatest powers the world would ever know. It was a long term plan, and one that Loki and Calcifer could laugh at for it's audacity, but Demeter was resilient, and determined, and was ready to set out into the world under the guise of a Pokemon Trainer to work towards her newest goal.

They hoped to have the first successfully turned legendary Pokemon, knowing the power that would come with it, and the promise of beating out threats from other underground teams, and after much deliberation, they were successful. Shadow Lugia now belonged to Team Cipher, but only for so long as the beast had broken free of it's confinements and destroyed half of the facility.
With Cipher in a mess, Shadow Lugia lose, and the threat of one of the other teams capturing it for themselves, Demeter took the charge to set off in search of the beast with a few of the other admin that weren't working on reconnaissance. However, with Loki and Calcifer by her side, she had an ulterior motive behind her leave. If she could find Shadow Lugia for herself, she could over take Cipher for its infidelity and the fools that let it break free and make the team better in her vision. With an entire team beneath her, and Shadow Lugia at her command, she could make sure she was at the top of the chain and wipe out any other enemy teams that posed a threat, and become one of the greatest powers the world would ever know. It was a long term plan, and one that Loki and Calcifer could laugh at for it's audacity, but Demeter was resilient, and determined, and was ready to set out into the world under the guise of a Pokemon Trainer to work towards her newest goal.
