[break]

Born in Ecruteak City, Setsuna is the heir to a long and ancient line.[break][break]

Her direct ancestors helped found the very village that would one day become Ecruteak - and played a pivotal role in the construction of the famed towers. A myth known only to those within and around Ecruteak suggest that one of the Hanzo encountered a mythical Pokémon in a nearby forest. And there an accord was made - the Hanzo would always have a gift for befriending and understanding the natures of Pokémon. In return the family would forever swear their service to the protection and stewardship of those twin towers. This is all, of course, unconfirmed - there are written records and testimony from both the Hanzo in question and witnesses. But time corrodes even truths into myth and some myths into perceived truth. One may never know if there is any truth to this legend at all...[break][break]

And Setsuna couldn't care less~[break][break]

She was born to the ancient family as one of three siblings - and that was just to the main branch of the Hanzo family. Her family on her mother's side had long served the towers as priestesses. They had no visions or powers to speak of - but they cleaned and maintained the grounds and the spiritual buildings themselves since the structures went up. The Hanzo have served as priests and shrine maidens alike - and have kept their family promise for generations. Yet - while all things must come to an end, Setsuna enjoyed a relatively normal and happy life as a member of the Hanzo clan. From a young age she was taught to be reverent of the scales that balance humanity with nature, tradition with modernity, and people with Pokémon. And it would not be wrong to say that this balance was the only thing Setsuna had any reverence towards.[break][break]

She was an energetic, mischievous, and tomboyish girl who way always going off on adventures and getting into trouble. She would sneak away from chores, stay up late at night, and even was a bad (but much needed) influence on another young girl in her village named Elise. Elise was shy and quiet, sweet as a Bellossom. Setsuna was - by her parent's own admission - more like a Mankey; wild in her way, protective of her friend, and always getting into trouble with that 'free spirit' of hers. But she helped Elise make her first friends - and really brought the girl out of her shell. And it is a good thing she did, too. Because one day Elise saved her life - but that's a story for another time.[break][break]

Several years ago - as it is known - Team Rocket attempted to invade Johto. And at the epicenter of this invasion was none other than Ecruteak City and the towers the Hanzo were sword to serve and protect. The town was invaded, the towers fell into the hands of Team Rocket, and the Hanzo clan alongside many others were exterminated for their defiance of Team Rocket. Setsuna watched her parents die - through acrid, poison smoke she could only watch as her aunt fled with her big brother and she helped her grandmother to safety. She never saw her brother or Elise again - and moved to the Hoenn region as aa refugee from the attack.[break][break]

Since then, her grandmother has passed away - and left Setsuna a very small but comfortable fortune. Setsuna herself became a Pokémon Ranger and has risen through the ranks to an Elite member. At age twenty-four she is still optimistic and energetic, and maintains a talent for taming wild Pokémon with relative ease - though she's smart enough to know when to run or fight as well. Setsuna lives in Dewford, where she has become a partner in crime (prevention!) with the local, duly-elected Sheriff. However - she recently heard a radio broadcast that had a very familiar voice within - a young lady, who claimed to be the ambassador from Galar.[break][break]
