young faolan has always felt like he was living in the shadow of his twin sister, sloane, who lit up the streets of their down-to-earth hometown of paniola with her joyous presence and illuminating smile. faolan, on the other hand, was quiet, reclusive, and ever so compliant, making him the unofficial errand boy of the town when he wasn't busy with his work on the ranch. his family was notorious for breeding their notorious working line of short-haired lillipups, trained specifically as mounts due to their popularity as such throughout the alola region. from a young age, he was tasked with taking care of the little dogs, which he grew extremely fond of over the years. one in particular, a female he called whiskey, became his treasured partner, and the two were almost never seen apart. though his sister tried many times to strengthen their bond as siblings -- one that should have been even stronger, perhaps, due to being twins -- faolan just couldn't bring himself to accept her, hindered by a feeling of bitterness and jealousy that would continue to fester as he reached adolescence. he was more happy in the company of pokemon than anything else, and was content keeping things that way.

the violent happenings in the hoenn region were truly of no concern to the majority of the ashbaker family -- just another bloodstain on this war-torn world's colorful history. poor faolan, with his empathetic heart, wished dearly that there was something he could have done to help, but being locked in an occupation he had no route out of made his wishes impossible. that was, until sloane decided to do the unthinkable -- defying her parents' wishes, she decided to travel to johto and start her own journey as a pokemon trainer. if faolan's envy of his sister wasn't already red-hot, it certainly was now, watching her simply leave as if without a care in the world for anything she left behind...especially not for him. for a while longer, faolan continued his duties...but one day, something in him snapped. hell, he was an adult, and he could choose his own path. how could he let his parents hold him back when they didn't even respect him?

that's when faolan left. he took whiskey's ball and vanished from the alola region, gracing his parents with not even a word of farewell. he promptly made his way to hoenn, where he signed up as a ranger and immediately took to work protecting the region and its pokemon from the imminent threats that loomed from all sides. he just wishes sloane could see him now.

whiskey is faolan's trusted companion who he raised from a lillipup. they've been together since both of them were very young, and they rely on each other heavily. whiskey herself is a very calm and gentle-natured pokemon, though possesses plenty of energy and a thrill for adventure. despite having been bred as a mount rather than a battle partner, she has managed to juggle both roles efficiently and will go to great lengths to protect her partner.[break][break]
