Salon Maiden Anabel

Salon Maiden Anabel is a Frontier Brain in the Pokémon anime (specifically during the Battle Frontier arc in the Advanced Generation series). She serves as the leader of the Battle Tower in the Battle Frontier, holding the title of Salon Maiden.

In the anime, Anabel is portrayed as a calm, composed, and somewhat mysterious young girl with a gentle demeanor, particularly when interacting with Pokémon. A key unique trait (not present in the games) is her empathic/telepathic ability: she can sense the emotions of living beings (including Pokémon) and communicate with them, which helps her understand and bond with Pokémon deeply during battles.

She has short, shiny lilac/purple hair and purple eyes, and she dresses in a fancy, slightly tomboyish/prince-like outfit that gives her an elegant yet androgynous appearance.

Anabel appears in episodes involving Ash's Battle Frontier challenges, where she battles him for a Frontier Symbol. She develops a subtle crush on Ash in the anime, shown through her shy reactions and admiration for him. Overall, she's depicted as one of the more approachable and kind Frontier Brains, with a strong focus on her psychic connection to Pokémon.
