Solana serves as a Pokémon Ranger in the Fiore region. She prioritizes civilian safety, initially barring Ash Ketchum and his friends from a forest near Cycling Road during an investigation into abnormal vine growth linked to the mythical Celebi, sensed by Ash's Pikachu. Using her Capture Styler, she temporarily recruited three Linoone to clear vines with Slash, located the injured Celebi, and later coordinated with her Plusle to free Celebi from Team Rocket's mech using Thunder Wave. Her appearance features fair skin, crimson eyes, and distinctive teal hair in a spiky-edged ponytail secured by a red headband. Her Ranger uniform evolved; her initial Rank 3 outfit included a red, white, and gold jacket with insignia and tassels, a black-and-gold jumpsuit, thigh-high black socks, and red-and-white high-top shoes. Later, during the Diamond & Pearl series, her attire shifted to resemble Kate's, incorporating two white diamonds on the jacket, shorts over the jumpsuit, gold ankle-length socks, and a red belt holding an updated Capture Styler. Solana reappeared investigating geomagnetic disturbances tied to the extraterrestrial Deoxys. Though deeming it too dangerous for Ash's group, she relented after Max followed her into a cave. Her initial capture attempt failed due to Deoxys's shifted Forme, but she succeeded after Ash's Sceptile weakened it, enabling her Styler to soothe its distress. This Capture Styler functions by launching a disc that transmits friendship feelings to wild Pokémon via energy loops, securing temporary cooperation for tasks like environmental aid or crime intervention. In Sinnoh, Solana collaborated with fellow Ranger Kellyn and Officer Jenny to pursue Pokémon Hunter J's airship carrying a kidnapped Riolu capable of Aura Sphere. Initially envious of Kellyn's popularity, her view of him improved upon witnessing his humility and skill during their joint mission to recover Riolu. Her primary partner is a Plusle, often riding her shoulder. This Plusle bonded with Solana after she rescued it from a Houndoom early in her career, remaining loyally by her side despite initially being wild. Her background includes extensive training under Ranger Leader Spenser, who noted her physical prowess and harmonious human-Pokémon philosophy in her application letters. She formally began duties after resolving crises in Lyra Forest and countering the Go-Rock Squad, rising to Rank 10. A cameo in a movie opening depicted her single-handedly rescuing Pokémon during a forest fire, aided by Water Gun from Marill, Azurill, and Azumarill.
