Main Character Introduction
May Maple, 15:
Hardworking, intellectual, yet scatterbrained; outgoing, and witty, with a warped sense of humor. She is quite a chatterbox, and loves to ramble on about obscure matters or lame jokes. At school, she is quiet and reserved, in accordance with her class president image. Rather naive about matters of the heart, she doesn't realize it when she begins to fall in love or that someone else is in love with her.
She packs quite a mean punch, kicks hard, and is a natural-born street fighter. She can punch, kick, and throw people and objects up to ten miles away. Never one to give up, she will keep fighting even if it hurts and gets back up immediately after being knocked down. She has a strong sense of justice, and is never afraid to stand up for her friends and herself.
She seems like a model of perfection to adults, but the people that know her well know better.
Second in command of the Valkyrie Angels gang.
Misty Waterflower, 16:
Sarcastic, gregarious, strong-willed, and a veritable pessimist, she keeps people in line with her sharp tongue and Misty Mallet. Dragging offenders by the ear, off to the side for a beating, is another commonly used method.
Her style of fighting is very formidable, as she is able to swiftly and silently knock out all of her opponents in the blink of an eye, without anyone seeing or detecting her movements.
Ash, whom she falls in love with, is subjected to being by the Misty Mallet constantly (she hits him out of nervousness and embarrassment).
Leader of the Valkyrie Angels gang.
Dawn Berlitz, 14:
Just because she's the youngest among all of her friends, that doesn't mean she's weak.
Bubbly and kind, she has an unhealthy obsession with cute things. She is very persuasive, able to convince almost everyone to give in to her wishes with a couple of words, a few tears, and a mournful expression.
Abysmally strong, she can punch large craters through walls simply with a flick of one of her fingers, and can easily lift up to fifty full-grown adult male African elephants.
Very few people are aware that she is the brawn behind the gang Valkyrie Angels.
She develops a crush on Paul.
Leaf Green, 15:
Cool, calm, analytical, and a genius with an I.Q. over 180, she is at the top of her high school class. However, she chose not to skip any grades so she could take it easy and sleep during class.
Though rather lazy at times, she is very dependable, and the brains behind Valkyrie Angels.
A master tactician, she oversees the training of the Angels. She can also fight well, being able to accurately judge an opponent's weak points and take them down with her mastery of the sword.
Gary is obsessed with her.
Drew Hayden, 16:
A normal, charismatic, egoistic, high school boy. Well, if you ignore the massive fan-club he has, and the fact that he's at the top of his class, and at the top of the entertainment industry.
He is very proud and arrogant, so though he is taken with May, he refuses to admit it. Still, he gives her ruby-red roses without thorns, a symbol of true love at first sight.
Knows how to fight well because his agent decided to train him in self-defense.
He doesn't know that May, Misty, Dawn, and Leaf are members of the Valkyrie Angels, but he is strangely fascinated with female gangsters.
Ash Ketchum, 16:
Dense. In a word, that's how you would describe him.
He loves to eat, and can down massive amounts of food in a matter of seconds. He likes Misty as a friend, but lately, he's started feeling sweaty, nervous, and extremely awkward around her. Getting hit by her Misty Mallet isn't helping clarify things either.
Is a master of the Drunken Boxing Style, but only when he's lost consciousness or is drunk.
Paul Shinji, 17:
Cold, quiet, stoic, and mysterious; he never seems to smile. Though Dawn constantly annoys him, he holds a tender spot for her in his heart. He is seen as a tsundere by Dawn, which surprises him because she has figured out his personality light-years before anyone else has.
He only will fight when he is protecting his friends. He has been trained in the ninja arts, and even moves swiftly and silently in everyday life.
He's the first to suspect Dawn's involvement in the Valkyrie Angels.
Gary Oak, 16:
Easy-going and relaxed, yet works hard to maintain his grades, his image, and his popularity.
Known as the #1 player in his school, Lobelia High School (which the rest of the main cast goes to as well), he rarely stays with girls longer than a week.
However, when he first meets Leaf after not seeing her in many years (they are childhood friends), the feelings he's tried to suppress return with added force. He decides to be true to himself and pursue Leaf.
He is actually the notorious mixed-martial-arts fighter 'X', who disappeared from the martial-arts world two years ago.
