>>46826786Personality wise, she's the fiery tomboy tsundere who has the classic "bickering couple" dynamic with Ash that tended to be popular in anime (& a fair amount of Western media too). The kind that screams "They'll hook up in the final episode/time skip" that got a lot of shippers on board. The 2 still showed the occasional signs of liking one another & they're shown to be on much better terms in her appearances after her initial tenure.
