>>52717913Misty is certainly pretty enough judging by how she's handled when her looks are addressed (assuming she's not being made fun of for laughs), but the way she normally dresses and acts doesn't highlight it. It's very careless and tomboyish, and not feminine or flirty, so characters mostly assume she's not interested in dating.
That's honestly one of the cutest things about her, but someone who's into frilly demure girls who usually wear fashionable accessories and dresses and makeup and such would likely never understand the appeal of a cutie like Misty, who's spirited and only brings out that girly side *sometimes*
