### Appearance
Johanna possesses fair skin, blue eyes, and blue hair cut in a bob, secured with a red hairclip. Her standard outfit includes a white long-sleeved shirt, a peach-and-red apron featuring pockets, and blue capri pants. Indoors, she wears red slippers, switching to heeled shoes outdoors. For the Twinleaf Festival, she dresses in a formal lime green ruffled dress with a sash and ribbon.
### Personality
Kind, caring, and supportive, Johanna champions her daughter Dawn's ambitions in the anime. A former Top Coordinator, she offers guidance while encouraging Dawn to rely on her own abilities and friends. She emphasizes treating Pokémon with love and respect and beams with pride at Dawn's growth. Game portrayals retain these traits but highlight her adventurous spirit—she travels Sinnoh alone, visits places like the Battle Frontier, interacts with Barry's mother, and expresses boredom staying in Twinleaf Town.
### Anime Biography
Johanna achieved fame as a Top Coordinator, securing multiple contest wins and the Sinnoh Grand Festival title. Her winning streak concluded with a loss to Lila's Delcatty; while Johanna continued competing, Lila transitioned to a PokéStylist. Johanna eventually retired to raise Dawn.
Throughout Dawn's journey, Johanna offers emotional support via video calls, sends practical items like cold-weather gear, and watches Dawn's contest performances on television. She gifts Dawn her first Contest Ribbon as a good luck charm. Johanna occasionally intervenes directly, such as organizing the Twinleaf Festival. There, she battles Dawn using Glameow and Umbreon to demonstrate advanced coordination techniques. Though she wins, she commends Dawn's bond with her Pokémon.
Johanna also mentors new coordinators like Noelle and judges local contests. She appears at the Sinnoh Grand Festival to comfort Dawn after a loss, expressing pride in her growth over victory. After Dawn returns home, Johanna encourages her journey to Hoenn and advises consulting Professor Rowan on team selection. She later appears in *Pokémon Journeys*, interviewed about contests in Eterna City.
