Appearance
Pokémon X and Y
Korrina is a young girl with a slender, athletic build and fair complexion. She has blue-gray eyes and very long, knee-length cream-blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She is noted to have powerful legs; thetelevision show Gym Freaks mentions that her axe-kicks can shatter rocks.
Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as theMega Ring as it has aKey Stone embedded on it. She also wears white rollerskate boots with red decals.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A
5 years later, Korrina's hair is noticeably longer, and she wears it into a bun and a ring, resembling the Mega Evolution symbol. She first appears wearing a thick white full-body coat, before she takes it off and reveals her current outfit: a zipper crop top with a tall collar, double-layered shorts, and a bandana, all of which are colored in various hues of yellow, green, blue, and purple. Her bandana has the Mega Evolution sigil printed on it. Korrina also wears white arm-length gloves and white boots with yellow-green laces and soles. Her boots have rollerskate wheels embedded in the soles, though they are much less noticeable than her previous appearance.
As part of her goal to master Mega Evolution, Korrina carries manyMega Stones on her person, embedding them in bandolier-like straps that wrap around her torso and waist. Like her Pokémon X and Y appearance, Korrina still embeds her Key Stone on the back of her left glove.
History
Pokémon X and Y
Korrina is aGym Leader fromShalour City. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive theRumble Badge, along withTM98 (Power-Up Punch). According to thetelevision showGym Freaks and an NPC atCafé Action!, she is aPR Video star and often dresses up in costumes.
Korrina first appears onRoute 5, when one of her Lucario comes up to theplayer while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player'saura, then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears inGeosenge Town, where she challenges the player to a battle with her twoLucario.
After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in theTower of Mastery with her grandfatherGurkinn, the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for theMega Ring against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.
After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding aLucarionite. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.
Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at theBattle Chateau, Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there forrematches. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Korrina debuted inLucky Lucario Was Here. She first appeared inSantalune City after being called there byViola. As soon as she arrived, she helpedX defeatCelosia, aTeam Flare scientist, and retrieve aKangaskhanite she stole. Later, Korrina gaveTierno a pair ofRoller Skates as a gift. Upon learning X received hisMega Ring without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.
InTrevenant Pokes, Korrina returned to theTower of Mastery, where she demanded thatGurkinn explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by aTrevenant used byEssentia, another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.
InConnecting with Gardevoir, Korrina metDiantha, one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack byChalmers, aTeam Flare Admin. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep theLegendary PokémonXerneas andYveltal out of Team Flare's clutches.
InTying Trevenant, Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare onRoute 9 to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged byMalva, while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas toTeam Flare's base. After a tough battle, Korrina'sLucario defeated Celosia'sAegislash, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking theKey Stone in Korrina's Mega Glove.
InQuilladin Stands, Korrina was taken to a hospital inLaverre City to recover from her injuries. InFloette Returns, three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come toShalour City to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.
