Character Overview:
White is the female protagonist of the BW series, and the representative and President of the BW Agency, a company devoted to performing arts. Aiming to raise Pokemon to become great actors and actresses, the agency collaborates with various filmmakers and corporations, supplying Pokemon to take part in dramas, movies, commercials, stunts and stage plays. It has access to a wide range of species, and almost all of the Pokemon are temporarily bestowed upon the agency for training and modelling purposes by their original owners.
White's dream is to become a great Pokemon Manager for her actors and actresses, and her love for performing arts originated from a musical in childhood, during which a Cubchoo joined the cast on stage and resulted in a harmonious atmosphere beyond imagination. She is on the constant look out for opportunities to let her actors and actresses shine, and gives them star-quality treatment, not only keeps a detailed profile for each of them but also goes as far as renting hotel rooms for their exclusive stay during a project while spending the night outdoors in a tent herself. She is extremely talented in her work, and in essence single-handedly created the Musical project as a campaign for Nimbasa City.
White became acquainted with Black when the assistant director in one of her filming collaborations mistakenly informed her that one instead of two Tepigs were needed, and Black's Tep filled in the role for the male Tepig she didn't bring. During the shooting, Black saved the crew from the ambush of a Galvantula, but damaged much of the filming equipment. White took responsibility upon the BW Agency and paid for the damage, but made Black an employee of the agency and the two started travelling together. While Black supplied Tep to White for the Tepig couple shootings requests from various companies, White accompanied Black from city to city to challenge the Gyms.
At the beginning of the series, White is shown to have zero capability in Pokemon battling as she found it against the essence of performing arts. It even enraged Black at first when he saw her refusing to call out her Pokemon to fight. However, when she was trapped in a cabin of the Ferris wheel with N at Nimbasa, the man challenged her failure to know what's best for her Pokemon, and forced her Tepig, Gigi, to fight. Intrigued by her new found strength, Gigi abandoned White and followed N. This traumatic event caused White to rethink her dreams, and although she still placed show business as her top priority, she decided to learn about battling so as to understand and continue to support Gigi should they meet again. Black assisted her in her first capture of a wild Pokemon, and even gave her his childhood Pokemon, Brav, to accompany her when they parted ways. Understandably inept at first, White gradually became a remarkable trainer after undergoing intensive practicing on the Battle Subway.
White gained her Pokedex after Bianca decided to become Prof. Juniper's assistant and passed on the task of completing the Dex to her. She didn't receive any starters from the professor of the region, although she formerly owned a Tepig bestowed upon the BW Agency by its original trainer, and currently has on her team a Servine that was originally with N when he ambushed her on the Ferris wheel. .
White's design is based on the female protagonist of the fifth generation Pokemon Dual Screen games, Pokemon Black and White. Her appearance is essentially identical to her game counterpart, including colour, hair-length and accessories. Like her game counterpart, her eyes are a navy shade of blue. In the flashback of her childhood, she was seen wearing a blouse and her hair was tied up into a ponytail with a ribbon.
White began her journey across Unova as the President of the BW Agency, seeking out filming companies to collaborate with, to let her Pokemon actors and actresses star in films, drama and commercials. During a shooting of the Xtransceiver's commercial at Accumula, she met Black, whose male Tepig was crucial in saving her job due to a miscommunication. The boy was wrongly accused for hurting the filming crew, and although the incident was solved at the end, Black was held accountable for the damaged equipment and thus White recruited him as an employee of the BW Agency. Shortly after their meeting, White and Black encountered Team Plasma as well as N, a mysterious trainer who sought to free Pokemon from humans. White was unable to fight back when N attacked Gigi, but Black eventually made N retreat when he puzzled him with Tep's desire to stay with a trainer. White and Black have been travelling since then, and Tep and Gigi continued to partner up in various projects for the BW Agency. At the same time, White accompanied Black from city to city, where the boy challenged the Gyms to fulfill his dream in conquering the Pokemon League. At Striaton City, she met Black's childhood friends, Cheren and Bianca, who partnered up with Black in his first Gym challenge.
White and Black continued to come across Team Plasma at various locations, including the Dreamyard, the Nacrene Museum, Castelia City and at the Liberty Island. Black always managed to thwart their evil schemes at the end, and White mostly played a supportive role in these occasions. At Nacrene City, White was approached by the film Director about a new project in Nimbasa to promote the city, and White continued to keep in touch with the team until she finally met them in person at Nimbasa City, where she proposed creating the Musical, an event in which Pokemon could dress up and perform on stage. With much effort and support from others, including the Gymleaders Elesa and Skyla, White eventually succeeded in creating the Musical, but her joy was cut short when N ambushed her at the Ferris wheel, where the man tactfully forced Gigi into fighting, and made her decide to choose the path of battling over the show business. Abandoned by Gigi, White fell off the Ferris wheel and sustained significant physical and emotional trauma. She eventually decided to give battling a try, hoping to learn about it just in case she crossed paths with Gigi again someday. Mysteriously, the Servine used by N during his ambush has been following White since the incident, and took orders from her when she attempted her first wild Pokemon capture of a Deerling, and later when she took the Battle Subway trial. White parted ways with Black at this point, but Black gave her his Braviary, Brav, to assist her in her battles in the Subway challenge.
On her ride towards Anville Town, White started learning the basics of Pokemon battling against the virtual trainers on the Subway train. She encountered Shauntel of the Elite 4, who snuck on the train, and they came across the fateful and rare encounter of Thundurus and Tornadus, whose intense fight threatened to destroy the surroundings. Shauntel escalated their fight, which eventually led to the appearance of Landorus, who stopped the two and dragged them away. However, Shauntel caught a glimpse of the three legendary Pokemon being captured by a mysterious silhouette. Later, upon arrival to Anville, White has already become a trainer remarkable enough to beat the Subway Boss, Ingo and Emmet, and even added three new Pokemon to her team, a Stunfisk, Solosis and Alomomola. She met Bianca again, who was still running away from her father, and has thus made minimal progress on her personal journey. White helped Bianca recognize her talent in music, and brought her back to Cafe Sonata at Castelia. However, they came across several Vullaby who were pursuing the mirage Pokemon, Meloetta, who actually travelled with them on the Subway train from Anville. Bianca helped Meloetta learn the Relic Song, and White caught the leader Vullaby. At that point, Bianca decided to become an assistant of Prof. Juniper, and passed on her Pokedex to White to continue the quest of filling the device.
