Leporink (pronounced leh-pour-ink) is my grass-type starter, based on jackalopes. Their heads are hidden within a bush of leaves, with branch-like antlers that produce an ink-like sap. Leporinks are naturally quite shy and timid Pokémon. As much as they want to approach trainers, they can't manage to work up the nerve, often opting for leaving small drawings for them instead.

I imagine them sounding quiet but frantic, their volume almost always at a panicked whisper. Similar to the energy of Fluttershy (from MLP:FIM).
