Originally from Olivine City, she moved to Littleroot after her father got a job as a gym leader in a nearby town. While a tomboyish and adventurous girl, she wasn’t happy about moving from a small town to a small village.
While her parents want her to follow in her father's footsteps, and she has an innate knack for battling, she isn't sure if that's the path she wants to head down. Her original starter Pokémon, a Torchic named Takie, loves battling more than anything (besides her trainer, of course), so she continues along with it for her enrichment.
Alongside Umiji, she learns a lot about Pokémon's individual temperaments, natures, habitats, and ways of interacting with each other and humans. She also learns why you should not awake nature gods, when Team Aqua and Team Magma do just that.
A girl from the mainland who moved down to the Hoenn region after her father got a job working for the Magma Team, with the goal of improving agriculture in the area. Unhappy about living in such a place.
