==Biograghy==
===Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green===
Leaf gets to choose from one of the three Kanto starters Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle from Professor Oak. From there, she catches more Pokémon, battles trainers, and challenges the Kanto Pokémon Gyms throughout the region. Along the way, she would battle her then Hated Rival Blue Oak, who has the starter with the advantage against Leaf's Starter. Leaf would also get into skirmishes with Team Rocket that heat up as the team progresses, eventually facing their boss Giovanni. At the eighth gym, Leaf finds that Giovanni is actually the Viridian City Gym Leader and battles him. At the end of it all, Leaf beats him, seemingly causing Giovanni to have a change of heart.
Giovanni surrenders the final badge, letting Leaf go and challenge the Indigo Pokémon League. Thier she faces the Elite 4, the four allegedly best trainers in the Indigo Region (Kanto and Johto). After facing the final member, Lance, Leaf learns that Blue has already become the champion and now Leaf must face him. Leaf faces Blue in a battle where she ultimately wins and becomes the Pokémon Champion on the Indigo Region. Not much is known about Leaf after this point.
====Masters EX====
Leaf is shown in Masters EX, where she is shown to be a good friend with Red and Blue. Her main goal is to be on par with Red and possibly to defeat him, but she isn't as strong as him and cannot catch up with him.
==Other Media==

Leaf's costume appears in Drill Dozer as one of Jill's alternative costume.
===Super Smash Bros.===
Leaf appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as alternative costume of the Pokémon Trainer.

==Trivia==
*Leaf and Lyra are the only protagonists in the series not to debut in the same generation as their male counterparts.
*In the Generation I games Red & Green, Leaf, then known as the prototype female character, was supposed to appear in the games, but the idea was scrapped.
*Leaf is included by some fans alongside Red and Blue in Alola, or is shown in Alola. However, it is not canon, although her picture used as a reference is the most common interpretation of how she would appear all aged up, wearing a shirt with 04 on it to reference the fact her game came out in 2004, akin to Red wearing a shirt with 96 on it as Red and Green released in 1996. 
*In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, one of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes includes Leaf's hat. In opposition, Pikachu can wear Red's hat.
*Leaf shares a resemblance to Green from Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! but have not been confirmed to be the same character.
