Erika is the Gym Leader of Celadon City in the Pokémon anime (primarily appearing in the Indigo League arc, episode "Pokémon Scent-sation!").
In the anime version, she has royal blue hair styled in a short bob with a full fringe and a red headband, along with dark green eyes. She often wears elegant traditional Japanese-inspired clothing, such as a kimono (sometimes with a wig and ornate bun when disguised or in certain settings), reflecting her graceful and refined demeanor.
She specializes in Grass-type Pokémon and runs both the Celadon Gym and a perfume shop that uses scents derived from her Pokémon. Erika is portrayed as serene, polite, kind-hearted, and deeply caring toward her Pokémon (especially her loyal Gloom, whom she has had since childhood after it saved her from a Grimer). She's passionate about nature, flower arranging, and perfumes, but she can be strict or sensitive—such as initially barring people (like Ash in disguise) from her gym if they insult perfume.
Overall, she's depicted as an elegant, nature-loving "princess" figure who's composed and compassionate, though she takes battles seriously and rewards worthy challengers with the Rainbow Badge.
