She displays little to no emotion, but she looks up to Maxie. Courtney has high intelligence and was once a scientist. When she becomes interested in someone or something, she will not be deterred from it. Her role in Pokémon Omega Ruby is fulfilled in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire by Aqua Admin Matt.

In Pokémon Generations
Courtney first appeared in The Vision. She was initially seen guarding the Submarine Explorer 1 at the Team Magma Hideout, and later stayed behind as Maxie and Tabitha left for the Seafloor Cavern. While she was alone, she experienced a vision of Primal attacking Team Magma with. However, before she could mull over the vision's meaning, she was interrupted by the arrival of and his, and she sent out her  to battle them, her resolve towards Team Magma's plans restored.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Pokémon Adventures, "Courtney" is the codename given to Admins of Team Magma. There are two known people given the codename Courtney.

First Courtney
The first Courtney debuted in the. She is one of the Three Fires of Team Magma, alongside Tabitha and Blaise. Like other members of Team Magma, the horns on Courtney's hood can be removed to reveal a special lighter that can transmit and record images through its flame. Courtney also wears gloves that gain specific abilities through combining the juices of Berries. With a Tamato Berry, it can temporarily blind the target if the burning juices comes in contact with their eyes; with a and Kelpsy Berry, it creates a sticky adhesive that prevents the held target from escaping; with a  and Hondew Berry mixed with the acid of a, it becomes a corrosive that can melt through walls and flesh easily. Like the other Three Fires, Courtney specializes in using flames to her advantage. In her case, she uses fire to burn her opponents to ash.

She first appears alongside Tabitha on the Abandoned Ship, where they were sent to obtain the Scanner hidden aboard. There, they meet and, both of which attempt to keep the Scanner out of Courtney and Tabitha's hands. In the end, Ruby and Sapphire escape, but Courtney and Tabitha manage to obtain the Scanner. The Scanner is later given to Blaise, who modifies it to search for the Red and Blue Orbs. At Slateport City, Courtney, Tabitha, and Blaise are sent to capture Captain Stern and his assistant, Dock in order to obtain the Submarine Explorer 1. In the end, Blaise manages to obtain the submarine for Team Magma's use.

At Rusturf Tunnel, Courtney leads several Team Magma Grunts in helping raise the energy level of the land by creating earthquake's to stimulate the earth's crust as well as looking for the Red Orb. When she notices Ruby is there, Courtney leaves the Grunts behind to forcibly take Ruby further inside the tunnel. With no one around, Courtney forces Ruby to battle her since no one can see him fight. During the fight, Courtney attempts to convince Ruby to join Team Magma since she shares his love of beauty. Ruby refuses the offer and manages to trap Courtney in a sea of fire as he escapes to safety. Courtney survives the flames, but decides to hand over the search for the Red Orb over to Blaise. She then decides to take a leave of absence from Team Magma due to gaining an interest in Ruby.

When and  are awakened, Courtney is called by her teammates to return to action. When the Gym Leaders split into groups in an attempt to stop both Pokémon, the Admins of Teams Magma and Aqua split up to stop them. Courtney is paired up against Roxanne, who has stopped Groudon from moving with her 's. After dragging Roxanne to an abandoned Lilycove City to battle, the two face each other in Cove Lily Motel. Roxanne's strong defenses prevent Courtney from defeating her, but she is forced to surrender when Courtney takes three people hostage. With Roxanne defeated, Groudon is freed from Block, allowing it to advance once again.

During the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, Courtney appears to Ruby as he trains with Sapphire on. She reveals to Ruby that she only joined Team Magma for her own amusement and that the events of Groudon and Kyogre's awakening has spiraled out of Team Magma and Aqua's expectations. Courtney offers to help stop the two super-ancient Pokémon by using one of the two Orbs used to control Groudon and Kyogre. Once Ruby and Sapphire had set off of Mirage Island to fight Groudon and Kyogre, Sapphire is locked inside an aircar by Ruby, who gives Courtney the Blue Orb. The two use the Orbs to try and control Groudon and Kyogre, but due to the lack of training needed to control the Orbs, Courtney is unable to use it to its full potential. During the battle, Courtney is grabbed by a tentacle and knocked to the ground. Just before she is dragged away, Courtney gives Ruby a message that his father will be coming with to help stop the fight. The tentacle drags Courtney into the collapsing Cave of Origin, which crushes her to death.

Once Archie and Maxie were defeated, Ruby used his to revive all the people that were killed in the final battle. Courtney is brought back to life thanks to Celebi's time travel abilities. Afterward, Courtney leaves to pursue a normal life and begins cultivating Berries.

In the, she is seen in a flashback of Ruby's after he and were informed by Steven about the upcoming disaster about to strike Hoenn. There, Ruby decides that the two of them should look at Courtney's memories in her Memory Lighter that she had given to him. While looking through them they both discover that Zinnia had infiltrated Team Magma and was the one who had given them information regarding Groudon.

In the Chuang Yi translations, she is known as Marge.

Second Courtney
In the, a second Courtney appears. This Courtney, along with a new Tabitha, is a member of Neo Team Magma (Japanese: 新生マグマ団 Neo Magma Gang), having replaced the previous one.

At Mossdeep City, Courtney appears to help Zinnia in stopping the launch of a rocket that would stop the meteoroid threatening to destroy the world. Along with Matt, Courtney attacks Sapphire in order to distract her long enough for Zinnia to head to the rocket. Sapphire manages to dodge their attacks and escape into the air to continue her pursuit of Zinnia.

Later, the Admins are attacked by the Hoenn Frontier Brains and are defeated. The Brains attempt to interrogate the Admins on Zinnia's whereabouts, but the Admins admit they don't know where she went to.
