Drasna has a friendly, cheerful personality, but often shows a relaxed composure, which hints at her strength that knows no bounds.[1]

Drasna in Pokémon Journeys: The Series
Pokémon the Series
Drasna first appeared in The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!, where Ash saw her on TV, being revealed to be his next World Coronation Series opponent. Later in the episode, she was seen having a brief battle with Wikstrom at the Castle of Chivalry.
In Taking Two For The Team!, Drasna and Ash faced each other at the Lumiose Conference stadium. She proved to be an extremely challenging opponent, but ultimately, Ash was able to defeat her, increasing his ranking. In this episode, it was revealed that Clemont had also battled her once and been easily defeated.
Character
Drasna has a very airy personality outside of battle. She is kind when referring to her opponents, offering them praise before and after a battle. Her gentle demeanor, however, drops just before and during battle, turning sickly sweet to the point where her opponents and peers are left slightly frightened. Even when irritated and frustrated, she still manages to maintain a smile, though there is a considerably less amount of warmth behind it at those times. Following her loss to Ash, she returns to her warm and amicable personality, offering Ash sincere praise, as well as becoming highly flattered at Bonnie's attempt to have her marry Clemont.
In battle, she utilizes her Pokémon's physical characteristics a great deal, such as Noivern's wings and Altaria's plumage to reduce damage. She combines such defensive strategies with powerful direct offense, enabling her to land multiple blows in quick succession to great effect.
Pokémon
During battle, it is shown that Drasna uses her Pokémon's unique physical characteristics to her advantage, such as Noivern's massive wings and Altaria's cotton like plumage to block powerful attacks.
