Normal
Barricade has the basic biology of her species. Standing at three feet, ten inches, her most prominent trait is the long, flowing mane of bright purple hair with black tips that resides behind her, with a gold bangle separating the larger portion from the smaller portion. The claws on her hands and feet have the same color, and her chest area has a brownish-black ruff, pointed at the shoulders. The middle part of her body has grey fur, and her legs and pelvis have black fur much like her chest, resembling "pants". She also has red eyes.

While she doesn't really wear anything resembling "clothing", she does wear a necklace with a red gem in it. It glows whenever she gets ready to cast her illusions.

As "Jack"
In her disguise as "Jack", she resembles a yellow-furred male weasel with a long tail and red eyes standing three feet, three inches tall. Her clothing in this form includes a large vest with pockets, a pair of blue jeans and sneakers, and a green shirt. "Jack" also wears a black trucker cap with a visor.

Personality
Barricade is a teasing trickster. She loves to flirt and bamboozle her foes in order to get what she wants, using her feminine charms as well as her illusion magic to her advantage. In particular, she loves to throw Arrow, a Greninja officer for Interpol, for a loop whenever they meet.

Mischievous and playful, she loves exploiting others' weaknesses to her advantage. Whether it be through guile, trickery, or straight up manipulation, she'll try and find a way to exploit someone.

Oddly, she mainly steals from other criminals instead of civilians. She tends to go after big criminals like mafia bosses or gangs, using her illusion magic in order to blend in and catch them with their pants down.

In regards to Arrow, she finds him intriguing and funny. Despite having the image of a stuffy, blowhard law officer, Barricade would love to make him "loosen up" and be with her, despite him vehemently saying he wants nothing to do with her. Of course, Barricade feels he's just denying their "love" (despite what he thinks).

History
(WIP)

Neutral

 * Arrow the Greninja - an officer working for MPC (Mobius Police Company). Their relationship is kind of complicated, as she tends to tease and get him hot and bothered, tempting him to forgo the law and be with her. However, the Greninja says he is firmly on the side of the law, and Barricade finds that amusing, because that would mean they have "more time to play".

Powers and Abilities
Being a Zoroark, Barricade is a Dark Type Pokemon. As such, her moveset focuses on Dark-Type moves and guile when she fights, as well as her illusion magic. She also uses her claws for offense.

Moveset

 * Night Slash: Barricade slashes her opponents with claws imbued with darkness.
 * Feint Attack: Barricade makes a sudden move, though she doesn't attack. While her opponent is confused, she runs up and slashes at them with their guard down.
 * Attract: Barricade uses her feminine charms to distract and disorient the target, allowing her to strike while they're defenseless or flee while she can.
 * Shadow Ball: Barricade summons an orb of darkness before throwing it at her opponent.
 * Illusion: Barricade summons illusions to disguise herself.

Skills
With good reflexes and swiftness, Barricade is rather fast, easily able to outrun many. She can also run for a good while without tiring, and can use her claws for offense.

As a Dark Type, many of her moves focus on darkness. As a result, she can blend in with dark settings and shadowed areas.

Weaknesses
Despite her illusion magic, Barricade can be easily caught if one notices her eye color or can see through it easily. Arrow exploits this whenever they meet, and she usually has to flee, though she doesn't mind most of the time.

Barricade is also somewhat frail, having low defense. She has to rely on her reflexes and illusions to avoid damage.

As a Dark Type, she is weak to Fairy Type moves.
