* {{Foil}}: Celia and Phoebe. Both are female birds who became the newest gym leaders to their cities, but have several differences: Phoebe is incredibly anxious by her position, while Celia is more confident in her abilities. Both previous gym leaders (Kenneth and Leopold) were replaced for different reasons (the former for resigning after a scandal, the other for being murdered). Their successors also contrast each other (Phoebe was chosen due to being the oldest child, Celia for being the only trainer to wield Mega Evolution).
