Name: Gioconda Sprout Age: 42 Gender: ![]() Profession: "Woman of the world" Appearance: History: Gioconda has been the co-owner of the Pastry Puff Bakery for 15 years. This plump lady hails from the outskirts of Cerulean City where she is well-known for her prize winning blueberry muffins. Gioconda’s entire life has been dedicated to her career as a pastry chef and a full-time mother/wife – always making sure that her home and business’ floors were clean enough to eat off of! She was the driving force behind the family business and ironically had no concept of the cash flow that her hard work and talent brought her. Unfortunately, so many years of neglect from both her children and husband have made Gioconda a very insecure woman. For as long as she has owned the Pastry Puff and been married to her husband Ted things haven’t been working out for her as she once had hoped. When she was just fifteen years-old she dreamed of an elegant white wedding and perhaps pursuing her dream to becoming a world renowned chef but instead she had to settle for a bun in the oven at the age of twenty, a shotgun wedding and a quick run-through in Pastry making at the local vocational school. The children destroyed Gioconda’s size 5 figure and turned her into a wide barreled whale of a woman that only her husband could love and even with that it was a struggle. Ted didn’t enjoy being physically with her after their third child and all the stressed brought about by taking on the bakery’s financial situation drove him away emotionally – Gioconda has gone as far as wondering if he’s met someone else. At the age of forty, Gioconda’s last child had gone off to college; they were all Pokémon trainers of some success in the amateur circuit. She was officially all alone with her recipes and no one to share them with. So, in the spirit of her husband Ted’s midlife crisis (who happened to buy a very expensive sports care with her money) Gioconda dipped into her savings and managed to put together enough cash to hire a little helper. Gioconda went out and bought herself the most adorable baby in the world! A Abra she adoringly named,Fionnula "Ula" Imogene Sprout. Upon presenting her to Ted, he immediately ordered her to return it to whomever she’d purchased it from and scolded her for being so careless with their hard earned savings; he later decided to go for a drive in his car. Gioconda struggled with this situation but ultimately put on her proverbial ‘big girl’ panties and kept Teddy – as a result from keeping Mantyke, Gioconda was inspired to create her now locally revered Starflake cookies. However, things did not go well with Ted. He was furious to see his wife not obey him and in turn grew distant and cold (as if he wasn’t already) refusing to talk to her even about business (not that he consulted her much with the bakery’s affairs before). Gioconda slowly started growing resentful and defying her husband more and more; for instance, once she decided not to cook for the bakery for a few days. Ted had no idea what to do! He had no choice but to give in and allow her to keep Ula. Fortunately, it was too late for Ted because Gioconda could now see the power she held over her husband and not the other way around – it was a liberating experience! That very week she packed her bags and decided to take a cruise to Alternia; one of her kids had traveled there a few years back and told her all about it. Gioconda would become a Pokémon trainer. Sadly, she'd soon realize that Ted froze all their accounts and transferred all their contents into new ones under his own name. Personality: Gioconda is rather simple, she enjoys the smell of grass and the salty seaside... a hedonist at heart but too much of a mother hen to allow her passions for simplicity and fun override her priorities - Gioconda Sprout is a mother first and a thrill seeker second! However, now that her kids are gone and she's feeling the empty nest syndrome this plump goose of a woman feels that Ula is her new son and she must help expand her horizons. Ultimately, Gioconda is quite down to earth not letting the fact that she's a well-known pastry chef reach the top of her head.. quite the contrary she's rather friendly and approachable and always determined to strive towards optimism though her recent abandonment of her husband Ted sometimes bring her down.
