## Personality

Janine is an impressionable kind of girl, she follows her father's training and would come to his defence if his name gets slandered in any way. As promised, Janine took over Koga's leadership of the Fuchsia City Gym. Janine was trained by her father, Koga; she wants to please him by achieving great things. She would bring her father his meals outside the Pokémon League, this shows that she is loyal to her family besides her usual duties.

However, since she has recently received the title of Fuchsia City's Gym Leader, is also clumsy and nervous some of the time. However, her battling skills are top notch and uses outstanding tactics to baffle her opponents before attacking with full power.
