Misty is a major character in the Pokémon anime, serving as the deuteragonist of the first five seasons.

She is the youngest of four sisters who run the Cerulean Gym and wishes to become a trainer of Water Pokémon. When her bicycle is accidentally destroyed by Pikachu, Misty uses this as an excuse to follow Ash on his adventures, when she actually has feelings for him (even though she denies it).

She was voiced by Mayumi Iizuka in Japanese, the late Rachael Lillis (Seasons 1-8), and Michele Knotz (Seasons 9-present) in the English dub.

What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]

She's frequently arrogant and immature, berating and insulting others for bad reasons and in bad ways. She can also be narcissistic, calling herself "the world's most beautiful girl" in the original Japanese (which the dub eventually picked up). While this is more prevalent early on and she becomes a nicer person, it's still consistent enough that it's corrupting. A more recent example of this is when she said that she only gave Ash a gym badge out of pity when in reality, Misty wasn't even the one who gave Ash the badge and was only saying this to cover up her ego.
She often shows jealousy toward other girls for liking Ash, even though she herself is reluctant to admit she has feelings for him.
She admits that she chooses some Pokémon based on their looks and doesn't like "ugly" Pokémon, though she does try to overcome this, so it's a minor prevention.
