Shauntal of the Unova Elite Four

I once knew an absolutely wretched girl by the name of Shauntal. So I thank this one for giving my someone else to think about when I hear the name.

I think Elesa better watch out, because Shauntal is rocking a very well-put-together outfit. Max fashion points. Notice how she not only got her shoes to match her brooch(?) and glasses, but also her book and pen. That's dedication.

The only thing is, she looks a bit like she got her head stuck in a gigantic dark purple flower. But maybe that's a good thing? I think it's supposed to be a combination gigantic ruff and bow, but looking at it I'm not sure anymore.

She's a Ghost specialist, so her colors match. And she's an author, which sort of fits the image of a lonely girl, surrounded by haunted books in a spooky library. Which may or may not be a trope, but for some reason I think I've seen it before. Usually the girl turns out to be a ghost herself, or a dracula.

In short, you could say Shauntal is a Ghost Writer.

*pause for groans*

Seriously though, she has a really cute design and a memorable motif. I think it's interesting that we've had three Ghost-type elite four women, and not a one of them has been a generic gothic lolita Rachel Alucard style. Instead, Shauntal suggests hidden knowledge and deep, secret interests that you don't want to find out about. It's a subtle kind of spooky.


Overall: 10/10
