A Charred Pokégirl is a Fire-type who has experienced the true power of fire. The Pokégirl has been in a fire that is so powerful that even she was scorched, and her shadow was burned into an impression on a nearby surface. Only a base type Pokégirl who is a Fire-type Pokégirl can become Charred, because only they can withstand the intense heat and flames that would kill most other beings.

Charred Pokégirls look just like they did before they were caught in an inferno, with one difference: they are now a scorched black. Whether their natural body state is fur, skin, chitin, etc, it is now black from the flames that made them into a Charred Pokégirl. No amount of scrubbing or washing can restore the Pokégirl’s natural color.

A Charred Pokégirl acts mostly the same as she did before. However, she has a newfound respect for fire in all its forms. She tends to stare at open flames raptly, remembering their power from when they burned her. Fire, in all its forms, becomes a very serious thing for her, not to be taken lightly. Some have compared a Charred Pokégirl’s feelings for fire to the way other people feel about religion. This may or may not have something to do with the fact that a Charred Pokégirl no longer has a shadow. The fires that made her a Charred Pokégirl were so hot that her shadow was burned onto a surface. For some reason, after this, she never again casts a shadow, which Researchers claim gives her partial access to Dark-based powers, albeit through heat. Needless to say, the effect is very disconcerting for most people. A Charred Pokégirl is now so accustomed to heat that she can sense it in other beings and things. She has the ability to shift her vision to the infra-red spectrum at will, an ability called infravision, though doing this makes her eyes glow red.

Because they were a Fire-type to start with, being scorched so badly and surviving has unlocked new powers for the Charred Pokégirl. She is able to set herself on fire again at a go, gaining the Ignite power. So hot are her natural flames that she can even wreathe any weapon she wields in flames, giving her the Flame Sword Mark II attack. She also gains a few other powers of a more esoteric nature. She can use her natural heat to create a modified heat shimmer around her, making her appearance waver and blurry, resulting in a modified form of the Blur technique. Similarly, she can lay her hand on an opponent, and take body heat from them, making them colder, and thus weaker, while using the stolen heat to increase her strength, in her own version of the Strength Drain attack. Her most fearsome power somehow relates to her having her shadow burned off, allowing her to strike at the shadow of a foe, and damage the foe as though she had struck them directly.

A Charred Pokégirl remains Charred even if she evolves. The only way for her to lose her Charred status (regaining her shadow in the process) is for her to evolve to a form that does not have the Fire element. Should this happen, the Pokégirl loses her Charred state, even if she again evolves into a Fire-type Pokégirl.

Feral Charred Pokégirls become very aggressive, and run around setting things aflame, making them very dangerous. Threshold girls don’t become Charred Pokégirls normally, unless they’re in the requisite inferno as they change into a Fire-type Pokégirl.
