Roxanne/Petra

Roxxane is serious, proud, firm, and passionate about knowledge. Her desire to teach leads her to share ideas enthusiastically, though sometimes she can be overly detailed. She maintains a strict and dominant attitude, convinced that only discipline shapes strong trainers. However, her heart still carries the immaturity of youth and she can lose her composure when off guard.

A youthful woman with a neat and orderly appearance, Roxxane exudes discipline and authority. With deep red eyes and fair skin, her brown hair is always tied into two ponytails adorned with red ribbons. She wears a sleeveless gray female seifuku, with a short-sleeved white shirt underneath, and a red scarf as a tie. Her red pantyhose and black school shoes stand out under her skirt.

She frequently adjusts her uniform, scarf, and hair. She speaks in a didactic and authoritative tone, like giving a school lesson. She crosses her arms while listening, analyzing every move or decision. She accompanies her comments with measured gestures, such as touching her chin or nodding slowly. When excited while explaining something, she can lose track of time and extend her explanations.

Roxxane doesn't impose herself through brute force but through meticulous strategy and encyclopedic knowledge of Pokémon. She approaches each battle as an exam: calmly analyzing her opponent's style, pointing out mistakes, and suggesting improvements. Though demanding, she remains fair and acknowledges dedication even over victory, always reflecting her role as a mentor.

Geology and archaeology, exploring caves, tranquil environments such as libraries, collecting unusual rocks or fossils, Rock-type Pokémon, reading, listening to soft music, homemade baking, gardening, disciplined people, the color red, visiting the Trainers' School both as a guest or to reminisce about her student days.

Disorder and dirt, greasy food, heavy jokes, extreme weather. She cannot tolerate people who speak without knowledge or trainers who waste their Pokémon's potential. She rejects arrogance, indifference toward history, unfair competition, and foul-mouthed individuals.

In Rustboro City, Roxxane represents the first major challenge in Hoenn. Her gym is the first real test for novice trainers. Every battle is an exam, where Roxxane examines, corrects, and evaluates the performance of her challengers. Those who fail must pay a monetary fee, while those who defeat her earn the Stone Badge, a mark of honor for overcoming her.

Roxxane has two Geodude and a Nosepass as her basic team. However, if the challenger requests it or angers her, Roxxane will reveal her true competitive team.

Roxxane, also called Petra, is the Gym Leader of Rustboro City in Hoenn. At 19, she is already recognized as an academic prodigy. Graduated with honors from the Pokémon Trainers' School, she now not only leads her gym but also returns to the institution as a guest instructor.
