Qualities That Should Fall Directly to the Ground

1. She is a jerk to everyone, and she treats them like dirt.
2. Not only did her method infuriate Ash and Cilan which disapproved of it as a result, but her own grandfather and former Mistralton Gym Leader, Miles, disapproved as well.
3. Her personality comes off as a Mary Sue attitude.
4. Her valspeak gets annoying very fast.
5. She is narcissistic as she only cares about winning.
6. Overall, she counts as one of the worst examples of a mean popular girl besides Trina Riffin, due to all these qualities mentioned above and her malicious and pessimistic acts.

High Flying Qualities

1. Both Sarah Natochenny and Kana Ueda do great jobs voicing her in the English and Japanese dubs.
2. Her design is awesome and admittedly attractive to look at. It's also faithful to her game counterpart.
3. Her Pokémon team, which consists of her Swoobat, male Unfezant, and Swanna is really strong and can beat any Grass, Bug, or Fighting-type Pokémon.
4. She is very confident and bubbly, and that's saying a lot.
