===Character profile===
Gloria is a young girl who lives with her mother in the town of [[Postwick]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. One day, her friend [[Hop]] invites her to meet his big brother [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar League]], so that they both can receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from him. After also receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon later on, as well as obtaining a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]], each of them sets out on their Gym Challenge, collecting eight [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the region, while also dealing with the troublesome actions of [[Team Yell]] along the way. During her Gym Challenge, she also develops a rivalry with [[Bede]], a pretentious boy endorsed by the Chairman of the of the Galar Leauge, [[Rose]], and [[Marnie]], a quiet young girl from the rough streets of [[Spikemuth]].
Gloria is a young girl who lives with her mother in the town of [[Postwick]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. One day, her friend [[Hop]] invites her to meet his big brother [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar League]], so that they both can receive a [[first partner Pokémon]] from him. After also receiving an [[endorsement]] from Leon later on, as well as obtaining a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]], each of them sets out on their Gym Challenge, collecting eight [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the region, while also dealing with the troublesome actions of [[Team Yell]] along the way. During her Gym Challenge, she also develops a rivalry with [[Bede]], a pretentious boy endorsed by the Chairman of the Galar League, [[Rose]], and [[Marnie]], a quiet young girl from the rough streets of [[Spikemuth]].


Gloria eventually collects the eight required Badges and travels to [[Wyndon]], the biggest city in Galar and the setting of the Champion Cup, where she competes for the right to challenge Leon. Gloria wins the tournament, but her battle with Leon is interrupted before it can even begin by the actions of the Galar League Chairman Rose, who has awakened a Pokémon known as {{p|Eternatus}} and brought about an event called the [[Darkest Day]], which Galar had previously experienced thousands of years ago. Gloria teams up with Hop and the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to defeat Eternatus, before {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} it and ending the second Darkest Day. She then proceeds to battle Leon and defeat him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion of Galar and making Gloria the new Champion.

Later, Gloria and Hop are forced to deal with a group of rampaging [[Dynamax]] Pokémon let loose by a pair of rich brothers named [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who are trying to reinstate the monarchy of Galar and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Eventually, the brothers' plans are stopped, and both Gloria and Hop end up catching one of the two Legendary Pokémon.

===In [[The Isle of Armor]]===
===[[The Isle of Armor]]===
Sometime during her journey, Gloria travels to the [[Isle of Armor]], where she meets a new rival, [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}, and is taken under the wing of former Champion [[Mustard]] as a student of [[Master Dojo|his Dojo]]. Gloria competes in a series of trials with her new rival, eventually defeating them in a final battle, earning them the right to inheirit the Dojo's "secret armor", the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Kubfu}}. After growing close with her new Pokémon, Gloria and Kubfu challenge one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]], culimating in a battle between Master Mustard and his own Kubfu. The two are successful, and Kubfu learns the secret of the tower, allowing it to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|Single Strike or Rapid Strike Style}} {{p|Urshifu}}.

After resolving the incident with Sordward and Shielbert, Gloria returns to the dojo, where she finds Hop conducting research on [[Sonia]]'s behalf. Mustard tells her that Urshifu hates the taste of {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, so, in order for it to unlock its [[Gigantamax]] potential, a special ingredient is needed to make it drink the Max Soup. He doesn't reveal what this ingredient is, though, and leaves it to the duo to figure it out on their own. After a few bad guesses, Gloria and Hop travel to [[Honeycalm Island]], where Gloria gets thrusted into a [[Max Raid Battle]] against a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating it, she finds the missing ingredient; [[Max Honey]]. Upon returning to the dojo, Mustard informs Gloria that he wants to battle her in a no-holds-barred battle, where he uses his full power. In the battle, Mustard uses his own Gigantamax Urshifu. After being defeated, Mustard declares that he has nothing more to teach her.

===In [[The Crown Tundra]]===
===[[The Crown Tundra]]===
Sometime during her journey, Gloria travels to the [[Crown Tundra]], where she meets the retired Gym Leader [[Peony]], who recuits her as the leader of his exploration team, and tasks her with investigating three mysteries surrounding the tundra. In the [[Legendary Clue 1|first mystery]], Gloria meets {{p|Calyrex}}, the former king of the Crown Tundra, and helps it reunite with its steed, {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}} (as chosen by the player). In the [[Legendary Clue 2|second mystery]], she investigates ruins scattered around the tundra, encountering and [[caught Pokémon|catching]] the [[legendary titans]]. In the [[Legendary Clue 3|third mystery]], Gloria pursues the [[regional form|Galarian]] [[legendary birds]] across Galar. Upon solving these mysteries, Gloria finds a note describing a [[Legendary Clue?|fourth mystery]] that Peony does not recall writing. Upon bringing it to the [[Max Lair]], she learns about [[Ultra Beast]]s and {{p|Necrozma}}, and is eventually able to catch Necrozma in a [[Dynamax Adventure]].

Character profile

Gloria is a young girl who lives with her mother in the town of Postwick in the Galar region. One day, her friend Hop invites her to meet his big brother Leon, the Champion of the Galar League, so that they both can receive a first partner Pokémon from him. After also receiving an endorsement from Leon later on, as well as obtaining a Dynamax Band from Professor Magnolia, each of them sets out on their Gym Challenge, collecting eight Badges from Gym Leaders across the region, while also dealing with the troublesome actions of Team Yell along the way. During her Gym Challenge, she also develops a rivalry with Bede, a pretentious boy endorsed by the Chairman of the Galar League, Rose, and Marnie, a quiet young girl from the rough streets of Spikemuth.

Gloria eventually collects the eight required Badges and travels to Wyndon, the biggest city in Galar and the setting of the Champion Cup, where she competes for the right to challenge Leon. Gloria wins the tournament, but her battle with Leon is interrupted before it can even begin by the actions of the Galar League Chairman Rose, who has awakened a Pokémon known as Eternatus and brought about an event called the Darkest Day, which Galar had previously experienced thousands of years ago. Gloria teams up with Hop and the Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta to defeat Eternatus, before catching it and ending the second Darkest Day. She then proceeds to battle Leon and defeat him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion of Galar and making Gloria the new Champion.

Later, Gloria and Hop are forced to deal with a group of rampaging Dynamax Pokémon let loose by a pair of rich brothers named Sordward and Shielbert, who are trying to reinstate the monarchy of Galar and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Eventually, the brothers' plans are stopped, and both Gloria and Hop end up catching one of the two Legendary Pokémon.

The Isle of Armor

Sometime during her journey, Gloria travels to the Isle of Armor, where she meets a new rival, KlaraSw/AverySh, and is taken under the wing of former Champion Mustard as a student of his Dojo. Gloria competes in a series of trials with her new rival, eventually defeating them in a final battle, earning them the right to inheirit the Dojo's "secret armor", the Legendary Pokémon Kubfu. After growing close with her new Pokémon, Gloria and Kubfu challenge one of the Towers of Two Fists, culminating in a battle between Master Mustard and his own Kubfu. The two are successful, and Kubfu learns the secret of the tower, allowing it to evolve into Single Strike or Rapid Strike Style Urshifu.

After resolving the incident with Sordward and Shielbert, Gloria returns to the dojo, where she finds Hop conducting research on Sonia's behalf. Mustard tells her that Urshifu hates the taste of Max Soup, so, in order for it to unlock its Gigantamax potential, a special ingredient is needed to make it drink the Max Soup. He doesn't reveal what this ingredient is, though, and leaves it to the duo to figure it out on their own. After a few bad guesses, Gloria and Hop travel to Honeycalm Island, where Gloria gets thrusted into a Max Raid Battle against a Dynamax Vespiquen. After defeating it, she finds the missing ingredient; Max Honey. Upon returning to the dojo, Mustard informs Gloria that he wants to battle her in a no-holds-barred battle, where he uses his full power. In the battle, Mustard uses his own Gigantamax Urshifu. After being defeated, Mustard declares that he has nothing more to teach her.

The Crown Tundra

Sometime during her journey, Gloria travels to the Crown Tundra, where she meets the retired Gym Leader Peony, who recruits her as the leader of his exploration team, and tasks her with investigating three mysteries surrounding the tundra. In the first mystery, Gloria meets Calyrex, the former king of the Crown Tundra, and helps it reunite with its steed, Glastrier or Spectrier (as chosen by the player). In the second mystery, she investigates ruins scattered around the tundra, encountering and catching the legendary giants. In the third mystery, Gloria pursues the Galarian legendary birds across Galar. Upon solving these mysteries, Gloria finds a note describing a fourth mystery that Peony does not recall writing. Upon bringing it to the Max Lair, she learns about Ultra Beasts and Necrozma, and is eventually able to catch Necrozma in a Dynamax Adventure.

Sometime after the events of the Sordward and Shielbert incident, The Isle of Armor, and The Crown Tundra, Gloria receives a call from Leon, receiving an invitation to a new type of competition called the Galarian Star Tournament at Wyndon Stadium. Gloria partners with Hop or Marnie in the inaugural Multi Battle tournament, and emerge victorious after defeating Leon and Raihan (if her partner is Hop) or Raihan and Piers (if her partner is Marnie), in the finals.

Appearance

Gloria is a short, slim young girl with fair skin, chin-length brown hair with a long strand on the left side, and brown eyes. She wears a gray hoodie with light grey connected diamond patterns and brown triangular buttons over a magenta pink button-up dress, tartan green socks, and brown boots with lighter brown laces. She also wears black modesty shorts and dons a dark green and white tam o' shanter on top of her head.

During official matches, Gloria wears a standard numbered Gym Challenger uniform. The initial one is a white striped collared shirt, which bears many logos. She also wears long white socks, as well as white shoes with red outlines, and striped shorts with logos. On her right arm, she wears a thumbless glove next to her Dynamax Band.

In The Isle of Armor, her hair is tied into a single bun. She wears a yellow jacket with a black undershirt. On her waist is a white karate belt and red and blue ends. She wears black shorts with yellow lines and black kneeguards with a yellow Poke Ball logo. She also wear white sneakers with yellow shoelaces and white socks.

In The Crown Tundra, she wears expedition clothing which consists of a red jacket and trousers with pockets and white zippers on them. She also wears black gloves, brown boots and a black hard hat with Peony's logo on them. There's a red cloth tied to her right arm.

Her appearance can be customized during the game.

Trivia

  • Gloria, along with Victor, was designed by Megumi Mizutani.[4]
  • Even though the player can choose the player character's uniform number, official artwork depicts their uniform number as "227", which can be read in Japanese as goroawase for 無事な bujina, meaning "safely". It also could be a reference to February 27, the release date of Pokémon Red and Green. Gloria also has this number on her uniform when she wears it in Pokémon Masters EX.
  • Pre-release media referred to Gloria as both "Gloria" and "Shield" (Japanese: シールド Shield).
