Also --- if there are too many shiny Eevees right now, I can change Pippin's coloring to normal, though it'll mess up her backstory a bit.}

Pippin the Shiny Vaporeon

Age - 17
Type - Water (+Agility)
Inventory - Armbands x2 (earrings), Luke Plush

Ability - Water Absorb
Nature - Jolly

Moveset - Quick Attack | Trump Card | Rest | Sleep Talk
Stats - Strength (3) | Intelligence (2) | Agility (1+2) | Charisma (4)

History
Born in a cold and snowy forest, Pippin lived with her Glaceon mother and three Eevee siblings. Since her hatching, she was made fun of by her brothers and sister as well as looked down upon by her mother due to her odd colors. Her shiny color is regarded as a mutation, and her original soft brown color can still be identified in her front paws. She never knew what it was like to not be treated differently, since the secluded location of her small family resulted in little to no interaction with Pokemon of different species.
Not even a year old yet, Pippin's family was forced to move to a new location due to increasing temperatures. During their trek, the Glaceon 'accidentally' left Pippin in the snow, alone. She told Pippin to wait, and that her and Pippin's siblings were going to go scout ahead. Not wishing to question her, Pippin did as she was told and stayed put. Freezing cold, she was quickly covered in a flurry of white as the snowing picked up during her wait.
Eventually, she heard large footsteps nearby. Not knowing what it was scared her, causing her to snap out of her cold-stricken state and start shivering once again. This led to Habbakuk noticing, and that's how he eventually found and rescued her.

Personality
After her rescue, Pippin was finally able to show her true personality without worrying about her family's actions. She is very sweet and innocent (though some may call it naive). She has a knack for getting out of situations, though, and she can be very intellectual in certain circumstances. Pippin is very upbeat and optimistic as well, providing a good contrast to Habbakuk's occasional pessimism.
She also greatly enjoys naps. She'll often crash on Habbakuk's back as they explore, rendering her sometimes useless when it comes to travelling. This perk isn't useless in battles, however, since she knows both rest and sleep talk. She can also easily lose her temper sometimes, but she as an unusually quick cooldown time and it's does not take long to calm her down. Nonetheless, that doesn't make being a mediator to her easy.

Facts
As seen both in their original app art and here in the new updated art- Pip loves to read maps. It's how the two made it to Andalusst, so cartography is a big part of her life now. This doesn't make the team better-suited for Researching, though, since Pip still isn't always the sharpest knife in the drawer. Think of her more as a navigator.
After her evolution, she can still fit on Haba's back if she needs to. If she fits, she sits. She does like to walk more now, though she still likes to sit up there and sleep.
If you didn't know- her two earrings were once her armbands. When she evolved, she outgrew them.}

Habakkuk the Avalugg
_{Gender - Male
Age - 22
Type - Ice (+Charisma)
Inventory - Apricorn Ocarina

Ability - Sturdy
Nature - Brave
Characteristic - Good endurance
Moveset - Ice Beam | Skull Bash | Sharpen | Bulldoze
Stats - Strength (5) | Intelligence (3) | Agility (0) | Charisma (2+2)

History
Habakkuk spent his entire life up until he met Pippin as part of a herd. As a Bergmite, he made many friends among the other Pokemon in the tundra. Him and his friends all eventually evolved, staying together as the herd mentioned. The group of Avalugg would travel across the snowy plain together, minding their own business on their continues travels as nomads. The groups of ice Pokemon in this location were almost tribe-like, due to their tradition of passing oral stories and legends down to newer generations.
Habakkuk soon tired of this lifestyle and wishes to leave the group due to some personal events among the friends. He longed for adventure and didn't want to see snow every single day like he had for his entire life. He wanted to have a legacy and be unique, unlike the other Avalugg and Bergmites in the isolated location who were all the same.
He eventually left, slowly moving out on his exodus from the icy plains where he had been hatched and raised. His isolation, however, was not as rewarding as he once thought. He quickly became lonely and even borderline frightened, since he had no idea where he was going. Just as he was about to turn back, he stumbled upon a shivering pile of snow. Upon closer examination and a bit of snow-shoveling, he discovered a small silver Eevee.
Several of the stories he had been told when he was young regarded shiny Pokemon such as this Eevee as blessed and special. This was confirmed to him when the advantages of Pippin's color came to light- in a location such as this, being a light blue or white color provided camoflouge in the snow. To him, this mutation was seen as a gift. He regarded their meeting as a sign, and he took her in and brought him with her on his travels without a second thought.

Personality
Habakkuk is the strong and silent type, allowing Pippin to do most of the talking in situations that require it. Despite this, he has a persuasive way of talking, and while Pippin's negotiations rely on her innocence and charm, his appeal to reason and justice. He is very brave and protective, not only because of his past as a herd Pokemon, but also due to his 'adoption' of Pippin. He regards himself as her caretaker, and is very content with looking after someone instead of being equal and a part of a mediocre group. This protective nature of his also requires him to be brave, since Pippin's naive nature also gives way for her getting into a lot of trouble. In such situations where talking cannot get either of them out of trouble, he is the one to take a more hostile approach to a decision.
Despite this, he often serves as Pip's mediator. Even though he is the one to take more hostile steps towards solving a problem, he is the "scarily quiet" type, while Pippin is the quick-tempered "i'll fookin kill u m8" type. He is not as easily calmed down if for some reason he were to lose his temper.

Facts
Even when Pip was an Eevee, he encouraged her to walk more. Now, with Pip as a Vaporeon, he doesn't mind at all. He still doesn't mind when she gets a ride from him, since his carrying capacity is so enormous.
He has three claws on the bottoms of his geometric-shaped feet. Many would think this is odd, but his claws are so strong that they can easily support his weight. On the bad side, having to walk on claws and not flat feet makes him very unbalanced. So never flip him over. He's usually very well off if someone tries to flip him from the front, since he can easily use Bulldoze to keep his weight shifted forwards. Inversely, he can't side-Bulldoze.
No seriously, don't try to flip him. He's like a big turtle with a flat back, and doing so is the one sure-fire way to get Pippin to snap.}TEAM WHITEOUT TUMBLR

If I would put a theme song to this team's backstory, it would be Snowbelle City's theme from X and Y. The flute part would be when Pippin is lost in the snow, and the horns part would be when Habakkuk finds her. I think it would fit very nicely
