Well, actually, if anyone is going to be the Ghost gym leader, I was hoping it could be me. I kind of had a specific idea in mind for her.
See, the idea I had was to base her off an itako. For those of you who aren't huge Japanese culture nerds/Shaman King fans, an itako is a type of traditional Japanese shaman. Traditionally, itako are females, and traditionally, they're blind.
So my idea was to have a blind girl for the Ghost type gym leader. She'd use one of her Ghost Pokemon as more or less a "seeing eye Pokemon". She'd also have a personality you wouldn't necessarily think of when you think of a ghost type user. She'd be a fairly cheerful girl who doesn't really seem to let her blindness bother her. I do imagine her having a slightly morbid sense of humor, and having a love of "creepy" things, but for the most part, she wouldn't fit the stereotypical image of a ghost type user.
I think it's an awesome idea. What does everyone else think?
Sounds good to me.
