Marnie

Marnie is a character appearing in Sword and Shield. She appears in the games Pokémon Sword and Shield as one of the rivals, and later succeeds her older brother's title as Gym Leader. She is also the idol of Team Yell. Marnie is a slim young girl with emerald green eyes, dark black hair, and very pale skin. She has a strange hairstyle, with a partially shaved side, tufts of hair that resemble horns, and messy twin-tails tied with red ribbons. Her bangs are also on her right side and partially cover her eye. For clothing, Marnie wears an outfit that seems to be a mix of a tough and cute style. It consists of a studded black Gothic jacket, a pink mini dress with triangular holes cut into the bottom, and matching black and pink boots with sharply spiked heels, three large studs, and an upwards pointed toe. For accessories, she wears a black choker around her neck with a circle and three spikes outside of it, along with a red diamond-shaped ear piercing. She also carries around a small red backpack that matches her hair ribbons. After Marnie becomes a Gym Leader, she wears a uniform instead of her normal clothes. Her uniform consists of a pink and black midriff-baring tank top with Team Yell's symbol on it, matching black and pink skin-tight leggings with some rips and the number 960 on them, and black and brown shoes. She also wears a single glove with the same color as her shoes and has a Gym tattoo on her arm. When Marnie is battled by the player character in the Champion Cup, she can be seen wearing the same uniform that all Trainers undergoing the Gym Challenge wear: a white shirt, white shorts, white socks with a black stripe at the tops, and white shoes. Contrary to her tough-looking appearance, Marnie is a sweet, somewhat shy girl that normally hides her soft side and emotions behind a veneer of calm. Likewise, she is normally a calculated and composed strategist who mostly hides her competitiveness in battle, but will still compete fairly with sportsmanship. She is sometimes annoyed by her wild fans, but as long as they don't bother others, she actually appreciates their support. Although she's generally emotionless on the surface, Marnie can stay angry for a long period if her limits have been tested. She also has a difficult time expressing happiness. However, since Morpeko is Marnie's partner and best friend, she sometimes finds herself being manipulated by its mood swings.
