Blair Popori

Blair Popori (Japanese: グラディス Gladis) is a professional swordswoman and the current of the Popri Gym. She specializes in training Pokémon, and hands out the Sparring Badge to  who successfully defeat her. As within her clan's tradition, Blair inherited the head position in the Gym from her father; this makes her a direct descendant of the Gym's very first Leader, which is her parental ancestor. She is necessitated to hold the Leader rank until she turns weak and unable to properly participate in Pokémon battles. Although it seems to violate human rights for others, Blair respects and cherishes this tradition.

Gym Leadership
Blair is the current of the Popri Town Gym. She uses Pokémon in her matches, since it is her chosen specialization. She focuses on assaulting the foe as soon as its possible, while defense isn't much of a deal for her. She only knows that "the faster, the better". As the Gym's leader, Blair gives out the Sparring Badge to those who succeed in defeating her team. The Popri Gym resembles a typical, complementing her status as a real female samurai (which is her part-time occupation). It is known to exist for almost two centuries and only renovated should the structure become prone to demolition. The Gym itself is a sentimental treasure for the whole Popori clan, since its Leaders would always originate from such bloodline, meaning Blair herself is the current heiress, hence her title.

Everyday Living
Blair trains her sword-wielding skill along with her Pokémon. She believes that Pokémon raises the bar for combat statistics, and therefore, they're stronger than average humans like herself.
