Sabrina

Sabrina, also known by her title The Master of Psychic Pokémon, is a character debuting in Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Green. She is the Saffron City Gym Leader and, hence the title she bears, is an adept user of -type Pokémon. Sabrina is fought in the Saffron City Gym, where she gives the Marsh Badge to Trainers who defeat her in a Pokémon Battle. She possesses psychic abilities and specializes in -type Pokémon.
==Appearance==
Sabrina is a slim young woman of medium height. She has long black hair with shorter layers around her face and a fringe and small reddish-purple eyes. She wears a small red and dress black in the middle at the waist with a slit on the sides with yellow cuffs over black tights/leggings, white gloves and red and yellow knee-high boots.
In Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version, Sabrina has shorter hair, now around shoulder blade length, and she wears a tight-fitting spaghetti strap pink crop top that shows her midriff and white slim fit pants attached with a black belt around her waist and pink slip on shoes. She also wears green and black bracelets on her wrists that glow on certain sections.
Sabrina appears in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! with a similar outfit, but her dress has black sleeves and an X is added, she also wears green boots.
==Personality==
Sabrina in the games is a far less complex character than her anime personification. Possessing a very serious and unwelcoming type of personality, Sabrina, much like the Pokémon she commands, is easily identifiable by the cold, calculating expression on her face. Her strong compatibility with -type Pokémon and her own, robotic appearance could mistake her for being inhuman.
Known as "The Master of Psychic Pokémon", she has had psychic powers ever since she was a child, when she threw a spoon and accidentally bent it. She apparently dislikes battling, but is hard to beat because she can communicate with her Pokémon telepathically.
==Etymology==
The name Sabrina may originate from "psychic" and "brain". It may also be a reference to , a television series.
Her Japanese name, Natsume, is literally 棗 (natsume, jujube, a type of date), following the plant-based naming of most Gym Leaders. It may also include 目 (me, eye), as eyes are often symbols associated with magic and mystery as well as often being associated with the "mind's eye" associated with the brain.

*Though Sabrina's hair color has been officially identified as dark blue in the core series games, a variety of her appearances have her hair green, black or even purple.
*She is the only Gym Leader to appear in Generation IV to get a completely different in-battle sprite in Generation V.
*Sabrina somewhat resembles Sailor Mars from the Sailor Moon anime.
**Coincidentally, Sailor Mars also had psychic powers.
