## **BIOGRAPHY**

Bonnie is a character appearing in *Pokémon the Series: XY and XYZ*, the little sister of Clemont and is one of Ash's traveling companions in Kalos. She lives in Lumiose City with her big brother.

Outside of Lumiose City, she is also a member of The New Action Squad. Throughout the series, she always reminds everyone that just because she is young that doesn't mean she isn't strong and does her best to prove it. She also throughout the progression of the series has grown a sense of maturity, telling us how it is time to act her age.

## **APPEARANCE**

She is a small and slender young girl with shiny golden-blonde hair tied in a side ponytail with an orange band, and sky blue eyes. She wears a brown short-sleeved top with a soft black bow on the neckline, knee-length black compression shorts covered by a puffy white skirt resembling a cloud, some pink colored Mary-Jane shoes on her feet and a yellow shoulder bag. After meeting Squishy, Bonnie's bag has been sewn with an extra slot to hold Squishy, a Zygarde Core, in it.

## **PERSONALITY**

Bonnie has a great love for Pokémon. Despite her not being old enough to train Pokémon, Bonnie has strong ambitions and goals of being a trainer. Sometimes, Bonnie would forget things, shown when she forget that she's not old enough to be a trainer or that she is the younger sibling.

Bonnie enjoys caring for Pokémon and is very protective of those under her care. She is curious and enthusiastic when encountering new Pokémon as well.

## **TRIVIA**

* Bonnie is very similar to Max from the Advanced Gen. Series, as she is a younger sibling. Like Max, Bonnie shares the following:
	+ She does her best to help out her older sibling Clemont, like Max does with May.
	+ She is not old enough to be a Pokémon trainer, like Max, who is also too young to train Pokémon.
	+ She is involved in a running gag of trying to get Clemont to marry a woman, just like Max who has the running gag of pulling Brock away from girls.
	+ She is related to a Gym Leader, that being Clemont, like Max is to Norman, the Gym Leader of the Petalburg City Gym.
		- Coincidentally, both are related to the fifth Gym Leaders of their respected region.
* Unlike Max, she is the first younger sibling traveling with Ash that is based off a game counterpart. Also, she has a Pokémon, despite not being of age to have one yet.
	+ Also, she is a younger girl with an older brother, whereas, in the Advanced Genenration series, the genders were reversed, with Max being a younger boy with an older sister.
* She is also similar to Brock, as she'll often propose to a beautiful girl to be her brother's wife, but ends up being pulled away by Clemont with his Aipom Arm. However, Brock will almost always flirt with an older girl, usually a Nurse Joy or an Officer Jenny, while Bonnie will go after any beautiful girl, either a little younger than, as old as, or older than Clemont, (yet only the latter one has happened so far) and so far, none of them were Joy or Jenny.
* Bonnie is similar to Ash in someways. Interestingly, both Ash and Bonnie do very similar actions in their adventures.
	+ Both characters have and Electric-type mouse Pokémon (Bonnie: Dedenne, Ash: Pikachu.
* She is Ash's first female companion that is not an actual Pokémon Trainer.
	+ She is also Ash's first female companion to be younger than the age of 10.
* In the games, she appears as the MC of her brother's Gym.
