Daisy (anime)

Daisy (Japanese: サクラ Sakura) is a recurring character who appeared in the Pokémon anime. She is a  specialist and is the oldest of 's sisters. She and her sisters, Violet and, are also the former Gym Leaders of the Cerulean Gym.

History
When Misty left to become a Water Pokémon Master, Daisy and her other two sisters were put in charge of the Gym. However, after and the other two Trainers from Pallet Town defeated them consecutively, they decided to stop accepting battles and to instead perform water ballet shows for the residents of Cerulean City. They were continuing this and neglecting the Gym when Misty stopped by to drop off her and her  to play at the Gym. It is unknown for how long afterwards the sisters continued to do this.

In Gotta Catch Ya Later!, the sisters called Misty to tell her that they had won a trip around the world because Daisy was third place in a pageant. They made Misty return to Cerulean City so she could take over the role of Gym Leader for them.

They returned to the Gym two weeks before A Date with Delcatty. However, Misty is still the official Gym Leader, with Daisy and the other sisters filling in when Misty is away. However, they still don't like battling, and in A Real Cleffa-Hanger, Daisy asked Misty if they could just give Badges to the Trainers instead of battling them.

Daisy, along with Violet and Lily, reappeared in a fantasy during the Poké Problem segment of SM042, where the Spectacular Sisters ditched the Gym to go on a trip, leaving Misty in charge of everything. She reappeared again in the same capacity in SM102, although Misty revealed she had Daisy and the others take over Gym duties while she was in Alola.

Personality
Cheerful and somewhat absentminded, Daisy spends more time at the Cerulean Gym compared to Violet and. As such, she does show some prowess, responsibility, and determination as a Gym Leader compared to Violet and Lily, which is especially evident in how she, alongside Misty, spearheaded a rescue operation for Luverin when it was abducted by Cassidy and Butch of Team Rocket, and later defeating them. However, she is still not very responsible as a Gym Leader overall. She will give Gym Badges out for free, even when Misty is the official Leader.
