Noteworthy Traits: Dark, spectacle-like markings around eyes.
CLAUDY | NOCTOWL (No. 164) Type: Normal/Flying Ability: Insomnia (Prevents the Pokémon from falling asleep.)
Picture an ordinary day. You're like, chilling with your friend Heather, maybe thinking about grabbing a snack, and then she generously offers you some chips from her bag. So you're like WHY NOT and reach in, expecting to feel the crinkly plastic of a bag of Dodritos (tm). Except you don't. You feel a warm, feathered body. Startled, you look in, and see only a pair of glowing red eyes staring up at you from the infernal darkness. The owner of the eyes proceeds to scream like Satan stubbing his toe.
And then you fall over backwards and your dickhead friend Heather is laughing her brains out.
Claudy was the third Pokemon Heather ever obtained (the second that she caught from the wild), mostly as a last resort because she'd been sitting somewhere directly over Heather's sleeping bag and making noises like a possessed hairdryer and who can sleep through that, it's pretty much impossible.
Whenever she wasn't producing ungodly sounds from her sinful beak, Claudy (named for someone from Heather's past, although she's sometimes evasive about stating who) proved to be a very shy and timid Hoothoot with a love of hiding away in dark places. Like, you know, the safety of Heather's bag. This led to many, many instances of poor unsuspecting souls opening it up and coming face to face with unexpected owl laser eyes and a cry of "STOP! YOU ARE UPSETTING THE OWLBAG!" from Heather, who naturally found the whole thing hilarious no matter how many times it happened.
Claudy eventually evolved of course, and went from fearful and anxious to simply quiet and introverted. She can sometimes be aloof, although displays of affection for her trainer and her friends are not unusual-- she has a motherly streak in her and is fiercely protective of any Pokemon she considers her baby, whether she laid their egg or not (case in point: Cheryl). Her love of bags never left her, despite having grown too large to fit in the original backpack (though not for lack of trying). Several months after the evolution, Heather received a large sports bag as a Christmas gift, and, delighted, Claudy promptly moved into it despite her trainer's protests. That is where she now spends most of her time when she's not out hunting or perching on a bedpost giving people creepy judgmental stares.
After Heather met Henry Townshend and his Hoothoot, Walter, Claudy mysteriously laid a clutch of eggs and to date is the only one of Heather's Pokemon to have given birth to her own children. Most of her babies wound up bought by or given to other trainers, although one stayed with Harry Mason and was named Dally.
