**Kimberly** (Japanese: **キンバリー** *Kinbarī*) is one of the main characters of *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*. She is a member of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps.

In "*Betrayal*," after being expelled from Jubilife Village, she becomes malicious and gets corrupted by sadness, despair and hatred. In the next episode, luckily, she is later saved.

As of "*Time to Leave*," she has returned to the "Real World," having left behind gifts for her friends and a legacy for the future.

## Bio

### Personality

After she first wakes up in the series premiere, Kimberly is shown to be very shy and nervous, having a hard time trying to catch three runaway Pokémon. However, she has a brave side as well, as shown when she gathers the courage to battle a wild Shinx so that she can catch it. Eventually, in "*Making Friends*," she begins to be much more friendlier, as well as very energetic and outgoing up to the point of being able to meet her friends at the Training Grounds very quickly and on time in "*A Battle of Friendship*."

By "*Against the Lord of the Woods!*", Kimberly has started to act differently when trying to quell all the Noble Pokémon, being absolutely ballistic when she gets hit and not relying on anyone for help. In "*Those Thieves Again!*", this is taken further when she loses her composure over the Miss Fortune Sisters kidnapping her and a Growlithe.

During her entry trial, it was shown that she became frightful of Shinx and its evolutions, but thanks to Natsu's bravery in "*The Typhlosion That Bind!*", she was able to overcome it and catch a Shiny Alpha Luxray, as well as mellow down in Noble Pokémon quellings.

By the final chapter of the series, Kimberly has grown confident in everything she does, even showing that she was okay with leaving the Pokémon world behind. She has also comforted Rei (who became her boyfriend from Chapter 8 until her departure) plenty of times. She is also willing to give things away freely, as shown when she gave Rei her hat and most of her Pokémon (as she gave some of them to Akari and Aladdin back to Hiroki) to remember her by.

## Trivia

*For this character's tropes, see here.*
* She was kidnapped once in "*Those Thieves Again!*", but was luckily saved by her friends and Pokémon.
* In Chapter 7, Kimberly is shown to have regrets over making friends, hinting that she has a darker side.
* The first time Hunter activated Super Blaze, she was quite shocked up to the point where she immediately decides to report what happened to Professor Laventon. However, she did so once the Noble Arcanine was quelled since she couldn't even be near anyone due to her brief trauma from getting kidnapped.
* By the time she finds out of the connection that Hunter and Natsu have (which occurs in PLA70), she and Hiroki decide that there may be a time where both of them need to rest, foreshadowing Kimberly's capture of a Heatran and rotation of her team.
* During Chapter 6, she has some quick scenes in which she shivers and complains that she'll freeze to death.
	+ This is considered irony, considering the fact that the player doesn't actually freeze in the actual game at the Icelands.
* As predicted by Rye, her aura is "very strange and unusual." In "*Kimberly VS Dialga!*", it is revealed that her aura has a rainbowish color.
	+ According to one of the series creator's friends, she is like "the Chosen One."
* She was the first person in the franchise to name a move combo. In this case, she called Hunter's move combo of Flame Wheel and Flamethrower **Rolling Inferno** (Japanese:).
