Personality: Yellow is an extremely compassionate, benevolent, and kind-hearted individual. She can understand the seriousness of a situation and will be serious when needed or when she thinks it is necessary. Being the optimist she is, though, she will always look at / try to find the bright side. She believes there is good in everybody’s heart, somewhere, and loves to make new friends. Not to mention that other people, especially her friends, always come first. It is probably why most people compare her to sunshine- she just seems to enjoy brightening up other people's day!
She is a pacifist, and will only fight when necessary. She greatly dislikes violence; she would rather make friends and allies than enemies, and will try to in every situation. To add onto this, she is naive and gullible, leading to her being easily tricked into doing things she may or may not regret later. However, she is not an idiot. She may sometimes be suspicious of people’s ulterior motives if they give her reason to do so, and she can detect wrong and right in most situations while sticking to her beliefs. She has put a lot of trust into her friends, and seeing or knowing of them doing wrong is hard for her to swallow. It is equally hard to make her believe in something she is against, though most people don’t understand why anyone would bother. Her heart’s in the right place, after all, and she is always willing to help others. Why would anyone try to change that aspect of her?
Yellow rarely holds grudges, and if she does, they can usually be dispelled rather quickly. However, she is a very magnanimous and generally forgiving person in a lot of situations.
During her adventure, it is noted that Yellow hid her gender so others would not recognize her and went by an alias, Amarillo del Bosque Verde. However, once the threat was subdued, she continued to wear her trademark straw hat from force of habit, and never corrected others when they assumed she was a boy. Sadly, this escalated to the point where she had a hard time revealing the long blonde locks to people, as she felt not only embarrassed, but somewhat guilty for deceiving them without really realizing it.
It is important to mention that Yellow is a brave and determined individual, and that when an obstacle presents itself, Yellow will persevere and find a way around or through it! While certainly not fearless, she does set off to look for the missing Red in her arc at the age of around ten, which is an impressive feat. She also demonstrates confidence when undertaking this feat, stating that she will locate Red. Not that she'll try, but that she will.
She is also innovative, figuring out she could manipulate a Poké Ball on a string and therefore have an easier time fishing. Also instead of freaking out or breaking down in pain during her battle with Lance when her arm had been broken, she simply made a makeshift cast using her Caterpie's Stringshot and dealt with it, not shedding a single tear in response.
Yellow's disposition, like any other human being, depends on her mood, though by default it is quiet and a little blunt. She is known to get flustered and embarrassed really easily. She is still a child at heart, and thus, is prone to childish beliefs and actions as any other kid would be. The only real difference is that she can be much more mature than them.
One last note that, all in all, seems pretty obvious but is still kind of important. She loves the heck out of all Pokémon and fauna—so, she is a nature lover. That's pretty much it.
Abilities: Every several years, a child born in Viridian will be blessed with special abilities, such as the ones Yellow has. She, of course, is one of them, along with Lance. They are explained in the next two paragraphs.
By placing a hand over a Pokémon’s forehead, she is able to read their thoughts, emotions, and memories, as well as heal their wounds. She is gifted with limited telekinesis; it is enough for her to manipulate her pokeball, such as the time she caught a Seadra, or when she moved her Pokemon (still in their pokeballs) out of the way to prevent them from getting hurt.
Yellow can ‘synchronize her spirit’ with the powers of her Pokémon, enabling their levels to skyrocket around the mid-80s. Doing this wears her out, however, and causes her to fall asleep or pass out afterwards. The same can be said of her other powers (healing, telekinesis, and mind-reading)- but they only really wear her out if used too much, rather than one go. Beside this, she does not get fatigued or tired all that easily. She does fall asleep easily, however...
On a side note, Yellow draws well, and usually carries a sketchbook with her. Of course, this is probably going to be confiscated...
Other: I feel like her battling style is important, so I will put it here!
Her battling style is rather defensive, as she tries not to let her Pokémon or the opponent's Pokémon get harmed. The only times Yellow actually battles is when there is grave danger, either for other people, the forest, or herself. She also does not catch for sport, seeing as one: she is terrible at it, and two: the only Pokémon she needs are the ones she has, because they are her friends. She is also demonstrated a keen ability to think on her feet, even when put under pressure, which has helped her get out of a lot of sticky situations. She may be taken aback by sudden danger, but she can handle dangerous situations because of how sharp she is, making her an OK strategist.
She is quick on her feet in the literal sense, as battling require a lot of footwork, along with good reflexes. In the manga, contrary to the games, you do not sit by idly as you shout out attacks to your Pokémon. You are actually supposed to run around, possibly dodge some that may be aimed at you. She is perfectly capable and in good shape, due to all the travelling she and her team has done.
Unrelated to her battling style: When Yellow was younger, she had a poor sense of direction and often got lost in the Viridian Forest. This has improved over the years, but they're not really top notch- especially in areas that are foreign to her- and could use some work, if working on your sense of direction is even possible.
Although Yellow is considered an official Dex Holder, she does not really own one herself, so to speak. In the Yellow Arc, she uses the one left behind by Red and returns it to him at the end. It is not until the FireRed and LeafGreen Arc, when Red gives his old Pokedex to her, that she becomes a true Pokédex Holder.
SAMPLES First Person: Hello? Is this thing on...? [ tapping on the camera lens with a confused expression now! she's not a wiz when it comes to technological things, but since there's... really no way to find out whether the darned thing was working or not, she just assumes it is.
she takes a few steps back, having propped the ...camera? ...the device, onto a nearby desk. ]
Hello, my name is Yellow, and I was wondering if someone could tell me what's going on...? Last I remember, I was asleep in the Viridian Forest, but when I woke up... I'm sure you can guess from there.
[ ...i might have just spent a few minutes talking to myself, now that i think about it... with this thought and a sigh, she moved to fiddle with the device once more. ]
Third Person: When she finally found the off button, she smiled contently. So it had been on! That was good- that meant someone had to have heard her rambling, which also meant help would soon be on the way! ...The question was, how would she know? She didn't understand how this thing worked, honestly, and it's not like she'd given her location away...
"...I don't even know where I am." Yellow mused, staring at the nearby door. She had about two options: leave the room to explore the place she was in, or wait here for a response that would possibly never come.
If anyone would have been surprised she chose to explore, then they had the wrong idea about her. "It's not like I can't come back whenever..." She told herself. With that, she opened the door and stepped outside of the room.
