Johanna is a character first appearing in Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version. She is the mother of Lucas/Dawn and lives in Twinleaf Town. Johanna has a larger role in the core series compared to Moms from previous generations.
Appearance[]
Since Johanna only appears as an overworld sprite game-wise, what she looks like can be hard to discern. From what can be gleaned from her sprite, Johanna has shiny blue hair cut into a bob, fair skin, and blue eyes. She wears a white long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, a pink apron, and red shoes. Overall, she greatly resembles her child.
Personality[]
Like every Mom that appears in the games, Johanna is kind, supportive, and always has the player character's back. She also instills good advice and values in her child, telling them to always treat their Pokémon with love and kindness. However, unlike most other Moms, Johanna is adventurous, easily bored, and not afraid to get out of the house. She regularly travels and can seen in different places throughout the player character's adventure, though she sometimes stays in Twinleaf Town and visits Barry's house while they're gone. There, Johanna talks to the rival's mom about her child, and vice versa.
