Very funny. Carrots, peppers, and bugs. Everybody has something they don't like and I don't like bugs!

*Misty is a friend of Ash Ketchum and one of his original traveling companions. She is formerly the Cerulean City Gym Leader who debuted in the first episode of Pokémon the Series, "Pokémon - I Choose You!". She is also the main protagonist of the Pokémon Chronicles episode "Cerulean Blues".

She is currently traveling the world, leaving the Cerulean City Gym Leader position to her older sisters.

Misty has short, orange hair tied into a side ponytail with a blue elastic rubber band. She has green eyes and fair skin.

Her main outfit consists of a yellow tank top that reveals her midriff, red suspenders, denim shorts that stop at her thighs, and wears red high top sneakers without socks that also have yellow lining with white laces. Her belly button is not usually drawn, but it is visible when she wears two-piece swimsuits.

She later maintains her main outfit in her return in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. In this series, her belly button is shown the entire time and she has a Key Stone hidden at the back of her ponytail. She also maintains her main outfit at the Ultimate Journeys: The Series.

As Misty is the youngest child in her family, she can sympathize with other youngest children like Mikey, Sakura, and Max. In addition, she was also shown to have distaste for people being bullied by elder peers, presumably due to her poor relationship with her sisters at the time, as can be inferred by her interaction with Giselle regarding the latter's harsh treatment of Joe at Pokemon Tech.

Misty has a slight inferiority complex, mostly due to her three older sisters Daisy (oldest), Violet (second-from-oldest) and Lily (third-from-oldest), who formed the group, "The Three Sensational Sisters" (their synchronized swimming group), and refer to Misty as the "runt" or the "weaker one". This inferiority complex is implied in the Japanese version as well as the TCPi dub to have also left her with a slight vain streak. This complex diminishes over time as Misty grows closer to them. Until Misty resumed her duties as the Cerulean City Gym Leader, her sisters were the ones who directly ran the gym, although when Ash came along to get his Cascade Badge, it was Misty who battled him for it, explicitly referring to herself as being one of the Gym Leaders during this instance.

Misty specializes mainly in Water-type Pokémon, which are her favorite type, but she's had other types, and she also deeply admires Lorelei, an Ice-type Pokémon Trainer. Misty aims to become a world-class trainer, and her well-trained Pokémon reflects her aspirations of becoming so. Her least favorite type of Pokémon is Bug-type Pokémon, as she has a deep-rooted fear of them, except for the kinds she sees as "cute" or "pretty" (i.e., Butterfree, Venonat, Heracross, Ledyba, Ledian and Beautifly). However, Misty's fear lessens over the course of the series — but not to the point where she's totally gotten over it, as shown in A Real Cleffa Hanger, Alola, Kanto! and Alola, Alola!.

As the series continues, Misty gradually shows herself to be more mature, kind and sensible, particularly after becoming Togepi's mother-figure. For some reason, Misty would restrain Brock from girls, often pulling him away by the ear and reprimanding him for his behavior, although it should be noted when one girl was actually receptive to his interaction, she actually tried to give advice to Brock on how to pursue the romance when he was caught off-guard. This trait of ear-pulling continued with the friends who join Ash on his journeys after she parted ways with him, following their journey through the Johto Region, and was even implied to have influenced Max to do a similar action to Brock.*
