She also likes to argue like him from time to time.

Janine is a pale young woman with purple eyes and purplish hair, the latter being tied by a yellow band. She wears a scarf, a belt and white socks. She wears a black ninja suit, some bracers with pink outlines on her legs and arms.

Following Koga's promotion to the Elite Four, Janine succeeded him as the Gym Leader of the Fuchsia Gym. Like her father, she is known as "The Poisonous Ninja Master", and uses Poison-type Pokémon in battle. Janine is an impressionable kind of girl, she follows her father's training and would come to his defense if his name gets slandered in any way. As promised, Janine took over Koga's leadership of the Fuchsia Gym. She would bring her father his meals outside the Pokémon League, this shows that she is loyal to her family besides her usual duties.

Aside from being a gym leader, Janine is also a freelancer, taking many risky jobs from her clients if they have money to pay her. Her jobs includes testing the security systems of many places, being a bodyguard and rescuing people from disaster areas.

Her family is a ninja family who work as gym leaders in Fuchsia City for many generations.

Her ninja skills includes throwing shurikens, making shadow clones of herself and jumping across buildings. But she's isn't very good at any of her ninja skills yet. So she is still training to be a good ninja like her father.

"Janine on the scene! I'm still learning, but I'll back you up with my ninja techniques!"

"You should be flattered. Father only prepares like this for opponents that he considers formidable. Don't think that your conventional strategies will work against us!"

"I was watching the movements of all the Trainers and Pokémon in town. I was also watching the Pokémon battles that were happening all over. This is a part of my training, too! I've been out here since early this morning!"

"I train every day with Ariados. But what makes Pokémon battles deep is the fact that they're more than just tests of strength. It's suuuper important that you read what your opponent is thinking and build your strategy around that! I was watching all of these Trainers and Pokémon... so I can learn to read one—even two—steps ahead in battle."

"With perfect strategy is how a ninja fights! My father has always told me that I must train not only my body but my mind and spirit, too! But...no matter how perfect your strategy is, it doesn't count for anything unless you are connected with your Pokémon. I learned that the most important thing is for the Trainer and the Pokémon to have a trusting relationship."

"I'm not one to brag, but I think I'm pretty strong! Of course, I still have a lot to learn, and I'm not nearly strong enough for my father to accept me. But as long as I'm with you, I know I can surpass all my limits!"

"I apparently have a little bit of stage fright. But whenever I'm talking to you, I can relax and use my full strength! So let's stick together! I don't think I can do this without you!"

"My father is Koga, of the Elite Four! I want to become more like him. That's why I have to train even harder! Father is very strong and strict. He is also cool with how skilled of a Pokémon Trainer he is! But more importantly, he's kind! Isn't he awesome? But I won't lose in battles! I'm still a Pokémon Trainer first and foremost and a daughter second!"

"I love to hang out with other gym leader friends of mine like Misty, Erika and Sabrina. Misty is a tomboyish girl who loves water-type Pokémon and swimming. Her partner is a Gyarados that can Mega Evolve. Erika is a calm girl who loves flowers and her partner is Vileplume. Sabrina is a quiet woman who is also an actress. Her partner is Alakazam."
