Harlequin

Female | Ditto | Sassy, very finicky
Accessories: Performer's Cape
Items: Ornate Chopsticks (allows unlimited use of Pluck)

Role: Team Leader

Personality
+[Sociable] - Harlequin loves to talk, and is always happy to meet new people.  She is rather animated in her speech, making her rather fun to socialise with.  She is also good at calming hostile situations without using violence.
+[Perceptive] - A highly empathetic being, Harlequin is always rather quick to pick up on subtle differences in a person's behaviour or attitude.  She can almost always tell how someone else is feeling when talking to them, even if they are stoic or trying to mask their emotions.  As a result of her empathetic nature, she is fairly good at comforting others as well.
+[Cunning] - Harlequin is very good at figuring out alternative solutions to a problem.  On top of that, she is clever and can use her wit to trick others rather easily.  Her acting abilities play into her wit in order to give her a keen advantage.
+[Confident] - Harlequin takes great pride in being herself, and isn't one to back down from a challenge.  Of course she isn't reckless in her endeavours, but will push herself if she wants to achieve something.

-[Fickle] - Harlequin is very fussy, especially when it comes to cleanliness.  She can often be difficult to please as a result.  While she does mean well with her fickle nature, it more often than not simply ends up being annoying.
-[Spiteful] - For lack of a better word, Harlequin can be a bit of a bitch.  While she doesn't necessarily go looking for trouble, if she doesn't like someone she can be rather vicious in her demeanour.  However, she usually won't confront them face to face, instead resorting to rumours or slander to bring them down.
-[Agoraphobic] - While she can tolerate leaving the house (so long as Joker is with her), Harlequin does not like being anywhere with wide open spaces.  She will often hide in her partner's mane to calm herself if they enter an open area.
-[Impatient] - Harlequin has a bit of a short temper, and can easily become frustrated.  This is especially true when dealing with people she perceives as rude or inconsiderate.  She can often be rather snappy if she is interrupted while speaking, or kept waiting for something too long.

Skills
+[Acting] - Having grown up in a circus environment, Harlequin is a very talented actress.  While she is impaired slightly by the limitations of her transformation, she can make up for it with her intelligence and acting skills.
+[Comforting Others] - Playing into her sociable and perceptive personality, Harlequin can often act as that shoulder to cry on if needed.  She hates seeing people upset and will always do her best to comfort them.

Flaws
-[Physically Weak] - Harlequin is not very strong.  She can easily be overpowered by an opponent, even while transformed.
-[Resentful] - Harlequin holds very strong grudges.  If she has been wronged in the past, she will most likely never forgive the person who wronged her.  This is especially true when she knows the action was intentional.

Move Set
Transform: Allows Harlequin to shape-shift into any Pokemon in the immediate area, taking on their appearance and abilities. However, she is unable to change her height and as a result she will often be much shorter than her target.

Joker

Male | Zoroark | Bold, likes to fight
Accessories: Twilight Hood
Items: Hand-Made Kunai (allows unlimited use of Fling and Recycle)

Role: Partner, generally acts as lead fighter

Personality
+[Loyal] - Joker is doggedly loyal to those he cares about, almost to the point of obsession.  He will never let a friend down and can always be relied on to protect others, even at the cost of his own safety.  He also acts very much as a servant to those he sees as higher-ups, and will diligently fulfill their requests.
+[Intuitive] - Due to his past experiences, Joker is a very good judge of character.  He can often tell a person's intentions from just a brief conversation with them.
+[Forgiving] - Joker does not hold grudges.  While he may be suspicious of one's intentions after they have wronged him, he is often willing to give them another chance if he sees they have changed.  It takes a lot for Joker to outright hate someone, and usually they would've had to have done something unforgivable.
+[Truthful] - For unknown reasons, Joker finds it incredibly difficult to lie.  This is both due to his inability to tell one convincingly and his disdain for the act.  In fact, he loathes using his Illusion unless performing, and will almost never utilise his ability in battle unless playing dirty.

-[Aggressive] - Vicious in temperament, Joker is very quick to anger and very difficult to calm down.  He will often attack with little to no provocation, and sees no wrong in seriously injuring someone in the process of doing this.
-[Short-Tempered] - While not as impatient as Harlequin, it does not take much to anger Joker.  It is not unusual for him to fly into a frenzy over something relatively minor.
-[Antisocial] - Joker doesn't like associating much with others.  He will avoid social situations where possible, or act outwardly hostile so people choose not to talk to him at all.
-[Immoral] - While not exactly a criminal, Joker does not have any qualms against going against the law if he believes it is for the greater good to do so.  His exact sense of morality is unknown, though he does seem to have some warped code of ethics that he takes to heart.

Skills
+[Fighting] - As a trained fighter, Joker is incredibly effective in battle; even if he isn't the strongest.  He knows how to cripple his opponent quickly, using his heightened agility to help him in combat.
+[Agility] - Possibly as a result of her skinniness, Joker is rather agile.  He can quickly dodge opponent attacks, and his nimble frame allows him much greater ease of movement.

Flaws
-[Weak Right Arm] - Due to an old injury resulting in scarring on the leg, Joker is rather weak on his right side and can be taken down quickly if his old wound is struck.  As a result, he will tend to favour his left side in battle.
-[Fragile] - While his skinny frame is useful in agility, it also means that Joker cannot take hits very well.  He relies on dodging attacks to maintain momentum in a battle, as he is very quickly weakened by enemy attacks.

Move Set
Night Daze: Joker surrounds himself in a dark aura, before releasing it as a powerful pulse wave. This attack strikes anything within a close proximity, including any team members who happen to be too close to Joker, and so he tends not to use it that often.
Fury Swipes: Using his sharp claws, Joker swipes viciously at the opponent without letting up. He can strike up to five times in a row, and usually draws blood as a result.
Low Kick: Aiming at the opponent's knees, Joker does a sweeping kick with his hind leg. With the right amount of strength, this attack can break bones.
Trick: By distracting the opponent, Joker switches items with them. He usually gives them something useless like a rock in exchange for money or goods.

Team Dynamic

Harlequin and Joker's relationship is somewhat like that of two very close friends, though at times it presents itself more as a slave-master relationship.  Harlequin is by far the more dominant of the pair; whatever she says goes, and Joker rarely questions her authority.  At the same time, it is obvious that the pair genuinely care for each other and want the other to be safe.  Neither of them would ever willingly get themselves into a situation the other is not comfortable with, and the two work together almost all the time.
