Tulip

Tulip is a character who first appeared in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. She serves as the Gym Leader at Alfornada's Gym, specializing in Psychic types, and is one of the eight Gym Leaders in which the Player can battle in any order they chose.

Appearance Tulip is a tall, young woman with tanned skin, purple hair, hazel eyes, and matching lavender nail polish. She wears lavender earrings, a short dress in lavender and bisque with butterfly wings attached to the left shoulder area colored lavender and mint green respectively. Her footwear consists of bisque peep-toe pump heels with ring bands surrounding the ankles, and lavender butterflies are attached to each ankle band.

Personality Being a makeup artist, Tulip places immense pride in both a person's and Pokémon's appearance; her Gym Test involves completing an Emotional Spectrum Test in order to bring out the Trainer and Pokémon's feelings. She also refers to the protagonist with various terms of endearment.

Tulip's Psychic type preference is portrayed in a clever way, as she more resembles a fairy type given her wings and flowers all over her body and her name. However, this ties perfectly into the Psychic type as Psychics are known for being able to perceive things that aren't always visible or made obvious. Between her emotion test and her job as a fashion designer, her focus is on expressing ones self based on personal values rather than expectations.

She is not fond of Geeta, stating that her personality is far too bewitching and conflicts with her own to the point that she feels that she can't fully commit to a battle.
