Personality
She is shown as very flirtatious and mischevious in her debut arc. She likes to trick people, stole her original starter from Professor Oak, and even sold faulty items for a short period of time in the Red/Green/Blue arc. Leaf is also known to nickname her Pokémon, using -chan in Japan and -y in America for a cute and affectionate effect on her Pokémon's names. It is later revealed she was kidnapped as a young girl and used by the Mask of Ice as one of the Masked Children, who used her and the other children to do his evil bidding, which resulted in her troublemaker personality. She has a phobia of birds due to being kidnapped by a Ho-oh from the Mask of Ice when she was a young girl. In the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc though she overcomes her fear at long last by catching Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos and using them against the fellow masked children Will and Karen. In the FireRed/LeafGreen arc, she is shown as an older teenager (16) and in the FireRed/LeafGreen female clothes. She also had grown greatly between the time of the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc and FireRed/LeafGreen, for being more serious and focused and seeming to less use her trouble making ways.
Game Appearances
Leaf is based off of the original concept art for a female playable character for the original Pokémon Games Red, Green, and Blue. The manga Kusaka said he based her design off of her and used pieces from the Lass sprite to make her design. The female protagonist from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen was based off of this same concept art as well as pays homage to Leaf from the manga as well. The manga later reflected this change by changing Leaf to the female character from FireRed and LeafGreen's outfit in the FireRed/LeafGreen arc.
