Maylene

Maylene is the Veilstone City Gym Leader in the Pokémon anime (Diamond and Pearl series), specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon. She is a young, petite girl with short pink hair, pink eyes, pale skin, and a slender build. Her typical outfit includes a sleeveless purple-and-black top, plain white pants, and she often goes barefoot, reflecting her martial arts focus.

In terms of personality, she's a dedicated and serious martial artist who trains rigorously alongside her Pokémon (including her signature Lucario, Machoke, and Meditite). She meditates to sharpen her focus and concentration before battles. Despite her skill and being highly respected in Veilstone City as a "warrior," she sometimes struggles with self-doubt and uncertainty about her role as a Gym Leader—especially after a harsh loss to Paul, which temporarily shook her confidence before she regained it with help from friends. Overall, she's portrayed as determined, fair, and surprisingly humble for her strength.
