I am Winona. I am the Leader of the Fortree Pokémon Gym. I have become one with bird Pokémon and have soared the skies... However grueling the battle, we will triumph with grace... Witness the elegant choreography of my bird Pokémon and me!
Winona in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Winona is the Gym Leader of Fortree City in the Hoenn region. She uses -type Pokémon in her gym. She awards the trainers the Feather Badge when they defeat her.
Appearance[]
Winona is a woman of medium height and slender. She has long, lavender hair tied in a thin ponytail with a white band, and violet eyes. Her hair sticks up at the side in two tufts, representing feathers. Winona is usually seen in her collared flight suit, with a gray helmet, and a pair of gray shoes.
Ruby and Sapphire[]
She wears a gray flying-suit with yellow outlines on her thighs, with white sleeves, which have gray bands around her biceps. She wears a pair of gray gloves and some white trousers.
Emerald[]
Winona's outfit remains the same as it is in Ruby and Sapphire.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire[]
She wears a gray flying-suit, a pair of white gloves and trousers, with small decorations resembling wings, and a pair of gray shoes. Winona's back of her flying suit is shaped like a pair of wings.
Personality[]
Winona has a kind and caring personality, especially of those dear to her, and believes the best lifestyle is to coexist with nature. She is a woman of grace, and although specializes in flying types, prefers bird Pokémon. She is focused on the refinement in battles and respects Trainers who are both graceful and strong. Sometimes, she speaks in a discontinuous way, owing to contemplating her own choice of words.
Etymology[]
The name Winona comes from "wing" and/or "wind".
Her Japanese name, Nagi, could literally be 凪 (nagi, a lull in winds). Following the plant-based naming of most Gym Leaders, it could also come from "Nageia Nagi", the scientific name of the Asian bayberry.
Biography[]
Games[]
Ruby and Sapphire[]
Winona first appeared in the main game series in Ruby and Sapphire. She has the same Pokémon team that she used in the anime (Swellow, Pelipper, Skarmory and Altaria) In Pokémon Emerald, Winona's team changes slightly during the rematches. Then, she now includes a Tropius, Hoothoot and its evolved form, and Dratini and its evolved forms. When defeated, Winona will reward the player with the Feather Badge and TM40 (Aerial Ace).
Emerald[]
Her role in Emerald is the same as it is in Ruby and Sapphire.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire[]
Winona makes a re-appearance in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. After defeating the Elite Four, Winona can be found on one of the transmission towers on the roof of Mauville City, though cannot be interacted with. However, the player can talk to an elderly lady, who wonders what could have motivated Winona to do something so reckless.
