>>57601534She didn't have a definite personality trait for me. Some genki in here, lots of clumsiness in ep55 but that was her theme for the episode. Her only 'fired up' moment was at the beginning of ep55, but it's played as a joke since her robes end up literally burning, implying she's overcompensating for being a rookie. Maybe she shows more of her genki fired up side in the future once she gets comfortable on the job. I don't think she had an accent? Just a tomboyish voice. Ultimately, she just struck me as a strong/genki type who's in the path of finding her fire] through her newfound gym leader position, and also living up to her granpa legacy. Fun fact in BW2 it's revealed her grandpa was an E4.
>>57602881Yes, most likely have Roxanne join. She's already written to be a talented upstanding person, so doing chores is probably around her alley too. But you said it yourself: Ash is not a chores guy and that role is always assigned to the adult of the group, by nature of japanese traditions / expectations, etc.
>>57608931>>57608303May is the first companion to have goals that are relevant to the journey pathway. So far her contests have conveniently been in towns that are on the way to the next gym. Only (small) conflict so far was after Ash won the dynamo badge. He wanted to immediately go to Lavaridge, but there was a contest in Fallarbor. He had a brief moment of selfishness of wanting to skip Fallarbor, but Brock reasoned with him without much trouble under the argument that Fallarbor was on the way to Lavaridge.
