Character history-Once upon a time there was a little goldfish named Brunhilde.
She lived in the ocean with her father, and several hundred sisters, all younger then she.
Her father was a powerful warlock who had forsaken humanity and become one with the sea. Though his form was distinctly human he did not consider himself such and could not walk on dry land.
His ultimate goal in life it seemed was to restore the ocean to it's former glory from the time before man. He traveled around in a submarine craft using potions to create life and magic to help nurture it. Despite his hatred for humans he was a very loving father who only wanted the best for his daughters.
Brunhilde was a curious fish however and not content to simply stay in the aquarium with her sisters, so one evening while her father was distracted in his duties to the ocean she snuck away to explore.
Hiding herself under one Jellyfish while laying on another Brunhilde admired the moonlight on the surface of the ocean and drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
The next morning found Brunhilde adrift in unfamiliar ocean. As she rose to the surface to examine the world in daylight she spotted a little island, and at the top on a cliff was a little house with a red roof.
Brunhilde due to her parents was not your average fish, but in fact quiet special, and one of the special things about her was amazing sight even above the water. She watched from the ocean as a little boy came out of the house and began making his way down the steep hillside to the ocean to play.
Brunhilde had never seen a human boy before, or anything remotely human other then her father so she was to say the least, curious. This would have to wait however as she almost was hit by a large boat heading to the island.
In a panic Brunhilde swam as fast as she could, only to get caught in a bottle stirred along with other garbage from the ocean floor by the boat. The current carried the poor stuck fish to the shore where she passed out and was found by the boy.
It took some doing but using a rock the boy freed Brunhilde from her glass bottle prison, cutting his thumb in the process. Worried she might be dead he held her and looked closely...only to find she was very much alive as she licked a drop of blood from his thumb.
Delighted the boy introduced himself as Sosuke and put her in his green bucket filling it with water before taking her up to the house where his mother was waiting for him to take him to school. He was unaware at the time but very nearly had lost Brunhilde to the wavelike minions of her father trying to reclaim her. He renamed Brunhilde Ponyo and the goldfish decided she liked that very much. He also promised he would always protect her.
Ponyo decided she liked Sosuke very much as well.
It was discovered that Ponyo was not a normal goldfish rather quickly by Sosuke as he attempted to feed her only to find out she was very fond of meat as opposed to bread like some fish. She yanked a thick slice of Ham right out of his sandwich and gobbled it up. The boy also discovered that where she had licked him the cut had healed perfectly without any trace of having been there.
His mother was more preoccupied with driving and getting him to school on time however and failed to think much of the carnivorous goldfish or her sons claims at magic.
Taking her to school Sosuke decided his time would be better spent with Ponyo, and not wanting to get in trouble he had left her in a bucket outside. Returning to her and introducing her to one of his friends (Whom Ponyo did not think much of) Sosuke took her next door to the nursing home his mother worked at to meet the elderly. The old women adored Sosuke though one who was rather cynical and cranky didn't think much of Ponyo but became frightened demanding that Sosuke return her to the ocean. She believed that to take a goldfish with a more humanish face from the ocean would bring about tsunamis.
Ponyo did not like this woman and squirted her with water making her fuss. As Sosuke's mother came to investigate Sosuke ran down to the shore with Ponyo to protect her, reminding her that he would always keep her safe.
And then Ponyo spoke. She spoke his name, and to his delight and shock her own, ending with her first human sentence.
"Ponyo loves Sosuke."
Sosuke declared right there he would love her too and she flipped with delight in her bucket.
It was at that point her father caught up to them and stole her away with his wave monster minions. Sosuke's mother had to come down to scoop him out of the ocean as he desperately tried to find Ponyo again.
Swept back down to her home and trapped in a ball of water by her father Ponyo was very cross. She refused to eat and demanded ham, even telling him of her new name and love for Sosuke. This was not all however. Ponyo declared she would become human and using her powers began to change. Her own magical abilities along with the blood she had tasted of Sosuke gave her the ability and she sprouted feet and hands. Her father in a panic was forced to drink from his potions to force her to change back and make her sleep. Worried he was about to lose his daughter he swept off to contact her mother hoping she would change Ponyo's mind and he could resume his plans to rid the world of humans.
Ponyo's sisters set her free from her fathers bubble and once in the aquarium again Ponyo resumed her transformation, turning into some kind of half human fish creature much like a frog or a chicken.
Using her powers she punctured the aquarium and opened the portholes of their home to let in the ocean. Water and fish swooshed into the house washing Ponyo down into her fathers vault of magical power. The well of power overflowed once the water rushed in and bathed Ponyo in a golden light giving her even more power then before and transforming her into a true human form complete with belly button. She was however still able to breath the water and using this newfound strength she and her sisters escaped the house.
A storm was brewing on the surface and as sosuke and his mother returned home the day after Ponyo and Sosuke had first met, Sosuke spotted a little girl running on the ocean waves.
It was Ponyo. She was speeding along with the speed of the thundering waves and was attempting to catch Sosuke and his mother in their speeding car.
Finally she did as the floodwater surged up to the street in front of their house. After a confusing but joyful reunion Sosuke's mother bundled the children up and ran them inside.
A pleasant night was had as Sosuke's mother and Sosuke introduced Ponyo to living like a human, complete with Ramen and warm milk. They discussed Ponyo's parents and after a night of getting to know one another Ponyo fell asleep.
Sosuke's mother wanted to make sure the women at the senior citizen center were safe so she requested that Sosuke mind the house and protect Ponyo. Though he didn't want her to go he obeyed.
Unknown to Ponyo her becoming human had thrown the world out of balance, something her father was desperately trying to undo with the aid of her mother...but it seemed her mother who was in fact the goddess of the sea found the entire situation romantic and beautiful. She determined that they would test Sosuke and if he passed Ponyo would live as a human with him.
As the children awoke the next day the island had been sunk under the ocean and Sosuke's mother had not yet returned. Concerned for her safety Sosuke wanted to go check on her but lacked the transportation.
Ponyo provided the answer by making his toy boat a child sized boat and the duo set out to locate his mother.
Along the way Ponyo and Sosuke came across a young couple and their baby. After some discussion about how the baby was fed by it's mother Ponyo gave the couple the soup and sandwiches that Sosuke had packed for them in a selfless act to help the unhappy child. Before departing t baby began to fuss and Ponyo nuzzled it curing him of a cold he had.
The townspeople were gathering to high ground in boats, and after hearing from Sosuke people were still at the senior center they promised to get there as soon as they could. Ponyo and Sosuke continued on.
As the candle that propelled their boat burned out Sosuke asked Ponyo to enlarge the spare they had...but a strange amount of fatigue was coming over Ponyo and she lacked the energy, falling asleep.
Sosuke was forced to swim behind the boat propelling it to the higher ground as it began to shrink. Without Ponyo's power it reverted back to a toy and Sosuke dragged Ponyo from the water.
In a daze she followed Sosuke as he found his mother's car abandoned. He was in tears but Ponyo comforted him and they continued on foot coming to a creepy tunnel. Something about it felt all wrong and Ponyo was nearing tears herself as Sosuke vowed to protect her and led her into the darkness.
Slowly the sleepy girl reverted back into a fish while in the tunnel fainted, Sosuke's rushed to save her.
And thus we find her in the digital world.
Character personality-Ponyo is extremely innocent and naive to say the least. While she can be selfish at times she has shown she has a very loving and giving nature and will go out of her way to help others.
She is curious about the world and everything in it, taking delight in the simple things and being almost unable to restrain herself from exploring. She has decided that on the whole she loves humans even if she doesn't "Like" all of them and wants to explore the wonders of their world.
Most of all Ponyo values freedom and believes in not judging others by their looks, a lesson she learned form Sosuke. She admires his mother and wants to learn from her...and is absolutely in love with Sosuke.
She is extremely affectionate, not shy in the slightest about physical contact once she gets to know someone (Even if it's only a little) and loyal to her core.
She can be mischievous and misbehave especially when told not to do something by her father. On the whole she is a good girl if not a little rough around the edges.
Digimon personality- Chapmon is a shy young thing away from her family for the first time ever. She is reserved and likes to keep to herself on the whole but has taking a liking to the outgoing and energetic ponyo.
Chapmon is wary of dry land and prefers to stay wet, lucky for her Ponyo can help with that using her powers.
She is an avid reader, though still very young and has only been exposed to childrens books, she hopes to learn as much as she can though and currently reads better then most Mon her age, a good thing because as of the moment Ponyo can't read.
Chapmon hopes to grow up to be like her mother who is a navel officer however as of the moment she is not terribly brave in confrontations and requires Ponyo to urge her on.
Character abilities- Child of the ocean: Due to the nature of her birth between a warlock and the Goddess of the sea Ponyo has been granted a few powers that while modest enough to keep her down in the digital world, are surprising for her size.
Water: Much like waterbending and the like Ponyo has control over water, able to make it move on it's own, changing it's density or flow. She can create bubbles of water to contain things like her partner and also to keep other things out like a shield. While she cannot create water she can manipulate it or other liquids such as the clogged fuel line in Sosuke's houses generator.
Healing: Ponyo has the ability to heal illness and light injuries by touching. Just by licking the cut Sosuke had on his finger she healed it in an instant and by nuzzling the face of a child with a cold she cleared his stuffy head and made him feel better. While this is not a significant amount of healing ability it may prove useful for smaller wounds illness.
Growth and shrinkage: Ponyo possesses the mysterious ability to make inanimate objects shrink and grow. This requires some concentration on her part however to perform and the effects won't last if she falls asleep.
Human to fish: Ponyo has the ability to change herself at will to human or fish form. When weak however she reverts to fish form. She also has a half and half form rather like a kappa or a chicken that she will change into while using her powers excessively.
Sample RP-Ponyo blinked her eyes a few times and felt the familiar pressure of water all around her. It was cool and comfortable after having been above the surface...but it wasn't what she wanted.
Kicking her tail (And feeling a wave of annoyance that she had one again instead of feet) She propelled herself around in a circle to gather her bareings before shooting to the surface and bursting through it to look around.
No sign of Sosuke.
In fact? No sign of the island he lived on. She was adrift in the ocean and looking at an all together unfamiliar piece of land through the choppy waves.
"SOSUKE!" She called out worried, "SOOOOOOSUKE?"
"Who's Sosuke?"
Ponyo whirled around in the water and found just below the surface a shy little green creature unlike any fish she'd ever seen before.
"I'm sorry...I heard you yelling." The creature remarked shyly bowing it's head.
"Sosuke is my best friend!"Ponyo loves Sosuke." Ponyo responded in a matter of factly tone before grinning with delight, "What are you?"
The creature seemed confused by the question but responded, "I-I'm Chapmon."
"Hello Chapmon I'm Ponyo! I'm a little girl!"
Chapmon chuckled politely, "I can see that like a fish girl."
"No no, not a girl fish a human girl."
Chapmon was even more confused now, "You don't look like a human...I've seen them on the shore...though I've never gotten close to one."
Ponyo scrunched up her face and began to focus her energy without a sound flippers grew and shaped into odd shaped limbs, much like a birds talons.
"Still not much like a human..." Murmured Chapmon in amazement as the changes continued. Soon sitting on the bobbing surface of the water like it was a balloon A little red haired girl smiled at the Digimon hovering just below the surface. Chapmon spoke but Ponyo couldn't hear her so she buried her head in the water.
"That was amazing Ponyo! You've got to be my Tamer!" Chapmon pointed at the rise bracelet that had appeared on her arm not long before.
With a shrug and a grin showing off large white teeth Ponyo agreed and Scooped up Chapmon in a bubble.
The girl and her partner began to walk to land on top of the water as Ponyo told Chapmon all about Sosuke.
Sample journal entry-Hello? HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You don't have to yell Ponyo...But how can everyone in the world hear me if I don't?
I-I dunno how it works...it's like a phone I guess.
Phone?
Um...how about a radio? OH! Sosuke has one of those! Oh hey! Sosuke! Can you hear me Sosuke? It's Ponyo! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
