Misty is a girl who can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered or frustrated and how loud she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed and her hyper personality was reduced significantly by the end of the [[Original series]].  
Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered or frustrated and how loud and violent she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. However, as time went on, Misty mellowed. She is also picky, sensitive, nosy and grumpy about love. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in aim of becoming Water Pokémon Master, and there are many other things she loves to do, being very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}} which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift.

The one Pokémon [[type]] that Misty cannot stand is the {{t|Bug}} type; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type Pokémon, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend [[Ash's Caterpie]]. However, Bug Pokémon are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid of are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]] and [[Ash's Heracross]], or ones that don't look like bugs, such as {{p|Pineco}}.

Misty's usual hairstyle is a side ponytail which sticks out on the left side of her head. There are times she has let her hair down: sometimes when she goes to sleep, when wearing formal outfits like a kimono, or when wearing her mermaid costume in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. In the original series, Misty is taller than Ash but shorter than Brock, but from the ''Advanced Generation'' series onward, she and Ash are the same height. She has worn three main outfits in the series, and all of them sport the colors yellow, blue, and red.

==Trivia==
* Even though Misty is said to be 10 in the anime, she is said to be 12 in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, Misty is the only one of Ash's female traveling companions, who can own Pokémon, that has not caught a Pokémon that another main character has also caught or obtained.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a Gym (albeit an unofficial Gym), since she challenged and tied with [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.
* Misty is the first victim of the recurring gag in the anime where Ash's Pikachu shocks a main female character's bike or the character herself at the beginning of each series.
* Misty is the female traveling companion to have appeared in the most amount of episodes, with 280 - Dawn is second with 200, May is third with 197 and Iris is last with 141.
* Both Misty and [[Jessie]] were voiced by [[Rachael Lillis]] and then switched at to [[Michele Knotz]] when the 4Kids dub ended in 2006.
* Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make guest appearances from time to time like she has in the past. He compared it to how {{an|May}} came back for the [[Wallace Cup]] in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, but said since [[Pokémon Contest]]s "aren't really her thing", it would be for something else like a battle.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Misty's parents abandoned her as well as her sisters due to the harsh regulations for Gym duties, thus forcing her and her sisters to run the Cerulean Gym until she left at 10 years old.
