In the Anime
Burgundy was first seen in A Connoisseur's Revenge! working in a lavish Poké Mart, where she reveals her hatred for Cilan and goal to become an S class Connaisseuse. Burgundy reappears in Reunion Battles In Nimbasa! to participate in the Club Battle tournament. She is put up against Ash in her first battle where she reveals her new premium-brand, a Stoutland.
Character
Burgundy is a spirited young trainer with a love for her Pokémon that shines through during in battle. Her determination and drive to become a great Connaisseuse is admirable, though some of the means by which she tries to reach her goal are clearly unprofessional.She takes criticism very seriously.
Burgundy can also be slightly abrasive when it comes to her job as seen when she told Ash to replace all of his Pokémon. When speaking, she tends to use an array of French words and phrases, some of which are mispronounced: this may be her attempting to appear elegant and graceful.
Though she pretends that she does not wish to learn anything from Cilan, Burgundy always pays the most attention to him when he evaluates, as seen during the Club Battle tournament.

Burgundy obtained Dewott when it was just an Oshawott. It lost to Cilan's Pansage in a Gym battle a long time ago. She later used Dewott to battle Cilan once more, only this time it battled with his Dwebble. Burgundy was confident that she would win with a type advantage. Dewott had good offensive attacks but could not break through Dwebble's strong defense. It quickly became fatigued, and Dwebble defeated it with a Shell Smash and X-Scissor combo.
