In the core series games
Geeta is depicted as having a caring and wise personality, along with a calm and pragmatic demeanor. She actively supports the growth of Trainers, as shown when she acknowledges Nemona's enthusiasm for battling and her desire for a personal rival, noting that Nemona approaches her battles with the player with a level of seriousness she had not previously shown. She also has a high opinion of Nemona as a Trainer, noting that Nemona "didn't reveal her full might" against her when they battled during the Champion Assessment. She also takes particular interest in the player's progression to Champion rank. Geeta further remarks that she is "utterly incapable of holding back when it comes to Pokémon battles".
As Top Champion and chairwoman of the Pokémon League, Geeta oversees Paldea's Gyms and the Elite Four. She also performs inspections of the Gyms via battles multiple times a year. Typically, she is the one who battles the Gym Leaders, but after the player becomes a Champion, she will send them to perform the inspections instead. She is a very powerful figure in Paldea's Pokémon League, as evidenced by her personally choosing all of the region's Gym Leaders[2] and, according to Rika, using her skill to influence the members of the Elite Four into joining.[3] Additionally, she has instructed Katy to "go soft" during Gym Battles and Larry to use a different type for his Elite Four battles, the former because the Cortondo Gym is near NaranjaS/UvaV Academy and therefore attracts many novice Trainers. She also has a lot of involvement with NaranjaS/UvaV Academy as the chairwoman of its school board; she states that the academy's entrance hall was redesigned by her and renovated a few years ago, suggesting that is why it is filled with books.[4]
Members of Paldea's Pokémon League have mixed opinions of Geeta; Rika praises her before the player battles her in their Champion Assessment, while several Gym Leaders express discomfort towards her during Gym inspections. Katy expresses dissatisfaction about being unable to battle at her full strength during Gym battles, Tulip says she is "not exactly [Geeta’s] biggest fan", Grusha admits that inspections make him anxious because he fears that he will have nothing left if he does not pass them, and Ryme briefly expresses irritation that Geeta sent the player to inspect the Montenevera Gym in her place.
Victory Road
After the player has obtained all eight Gym Badges and defeated the Elite Four, they can battle Geeta, the Top Champion of Paldea's Pokémon League, on the building's rooftop. The player emerges as a Champion-ranked Trainer upon victory, while Geeta and the Elite Four members congratulate the player. Upon exiting the building, the player is greeted by Nemona, who excitedly asks the player whether they have become a Champion already. She wants to immediately challenge them to battle, but Geeta reminds her that “Champions must be understanding toward their opponents” and advises she let the player rest before finding a more suitable battlefield.
★ Starfall Street ★
Geeta is mentioned, but not seen, in this storyline. After the player successfully completes Operation Starfall and reforms Team Star, Penny confesses to Director Clavell that she illegally hacked the Pokémon League's LP management system to reward them. Clavell brings Geeta to the academy to decide on Penny's consequences. However, the two ultimately praise Penny for her technical skills and Geeta recruits her into voluntarily helping her with engineering for the League, inviting Penny to work there after she graduates.
Post-game
After the player's adventure in Area Zero, Clavell and Nemona decide to host a Pokémon battle tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Geeta agrees to give the Pokémon League's support in sponsoring the event, but when Nemona invites Geeta to participate, Geeta is initially unable to do so as she is preoccupied by her imminent Gym inspections. The player agrees to do the inspections in Geeta's stead, giving her time to compete in the event, now named the Academy Ace Tournament, appearing as the player's final opponent when it is held for the first time. She can be battled as a random final opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.
The Indigo Disk
After the player becomes Champion of the BB League, Geeta travels to Unova's Blueberry Academy with Rika to ask the player, Carmine and Kieran's assistance in venturing through Area Zero with Briar. She gives the player the Indigo Disk to access the Area Zero Underdepths before leaving with Rika. Afterwards, Geeta can be invited back to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be rematched with an altered team. She may also interact with other Trainers in the League Club Room; in one instance, Geeta, when talking with Poppy, discovers that Poppy is trying to draw a picture of her, which is a nod to Geeta's concept art.[5]

In The Terapagos I Don't Know, alongside Clavell, Geeta was introduced to Terapagos during a meeting with Friede, Liko, Roy, and Dot. After telling them what she knew about the Pokémon, Geeta talked about Area Zero, and together with Clavell recommended that the group seek help from Raifort to find out more about Terapagos and Laqua.
In Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!, Geeta was talking with Ryme and Larry during the Naranja Academy tournament. Later, she, alongside Clavell were in the staffroom with Liko and Grusha. Geeta and Clavell informed Liko that Grusha re-evaluated his thoughts and passed Liko in her implementation test due to her heroic acts of fighting against the Explorers and winning to protect the school. Geeta further complimented Liko on how her battling skills are truly worthy of using Terastallization in battle, much to Liko's surprise and joy.
In Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!, Geeta and Rika met up with Liko to discuss the results of her training, she then watched Liko's battle against Roy.

In HZ126, Geeta and Clavell analyzed the data the Rising Volt Tacklers and Jacq had acquired about Laquium. While agreeing with them regarding its harmful effects, they knew they couldn't sway the public opinion against the Explorers. However, they did agree to ban the use of Strong Spheres at Naranja Academy.
In HZ127, Geeta gave the Rising Volt Tacklers the permission to use the Pokémon League's battle rooms for their training, even personally acting as the referee for the battle between Liko and Ann.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Geeta debuted in PASV12. She, along with Rika, was first seen watching the Gym battle between Scarlet and Iono in Levincia. Later that night, Geeta and Rika encountered Scarlet and tried introducing themselves to her, only for the latter to coldly ignore them.
In PASV21, Geeta, Rika, Poppy, and Hassel appeared outside the Treasure Eatery to greet Larry. Geeta explained that everyone came to investigate a report the Pokémon League received claiming that Larry attacked some Trainers unprovoked, though noted it was likely false. Larry clarified the Trainers he fought were Team Star members harassing an Uva Academy student, which he noted was worse than their usual acts of misbehavior. When Geeta mentioned a fake student hired by Raifort to look for the treasures of ruin, Rika remembered seeing Raifort with Scarlet the night they met and concluded the latter was the fake student in question.
In PASV23, Nemona received a phone call from Geeta, who requested that she come meet with her at the Medali Gym. Geeta specified the meeting was for Champion-ranked Trainers only, so Nemona was forced to temporarily split off from traveling with Scarlet. Once she arrived, Geeta and the others began questioning Nemona on what she knew about Scarlet. After finishing their discussion and Nemona left, Geeta decided to have the Gym Leaders determine if Scarlet was trustworthy by monitoring her.

In the TCG
- Main article: Geeta (Obsidian Flames 188)
Geeta was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame expansion and the English Obsidian Flames expansion, with artwork by kirisAki. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same illustrator and a special illustration rare version of the card with artwork by DOM were released in the same sets. It allows players to search their deck for up to 2 Basic Energy cards and attach them to one of their Pokémon; the trade-off, however, is that none of the player's Pokémon can attack after the card is used until the end of that player's turn.
Trivia
