The daughter of a sailor, Roxie was a Pokémon trainer who also played bass guitar and sangs as the leader of a rock band. She became the gym leader of Virbank City's gym and combined her interests by making her gym into an underground rock club, where her band constantly performed on stage. She would not notice trainers attempting to challenge her over the sound of her own music, so challengers would first have to defeat her bandmates, Roughneck Nicky and Guitarist Billy Jo. | The daughter of a sailor, Roxie was a Pokémon trainer who also played bass guitar and sangs as the leader of a rock band.

| − | In ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'', Roxie was first seen arguing with her father and trying to dissuade him from pursuing an acting career at Pokéstar Studios, as she thought that this would distract him too much from his sailing job. She then returned to her gym, where she could be challenged and defeated by [[Nate/Rosa]]. She scolded herself in the third person for her loss, but she did also recognize that she had given her battle her all and felt refreshed and revitalized as a result. Roxie gave the trainer the Toxic Badge as well as TM09: Venoshock. She told Nate/Rose that their Pokémon wanted this win and that they should keep on going on like that.

Despite her initial hostility about the idea, Roxie did watch at least one of her father's movies from Pokéstar Studios and liked it. She helped him to feel better about his performance and said that she'd be supportive of him if he did not cause trouble. Afterwards, Roxie was seen by Driftveil City, where she came to check out the Pokémon World Tournament. She ultimately entered it and could be battled in the Driftveil, Unova Leaders, World Leaders and Type Expert divisions. Roxie also sometimes visited [[Cynthia]] at her villa during the summer. | Despite her initial hostility about the idea, Roxie did watch at least one of her father's movies from Pokéstar Studios and liked it.

Her Whirlipede could evolve into Scolipede through a Sync Pair Story in which she had to battle [[Mina]]. Roxie was also featured as an ally in the "The Beast that Devours the Sun" Legendary Event as an opponent in the "Heart of Elegance" Story Event. In the latter event, Roxie entered an argument that [[Caitlin]] and [[Candice]] were having about the most important aspect of a Pokémon battle. Caitlin promoted elegance and grace, while Candice said that it was focus, and Roxie interjected that it was the beat of the battle. The player, Caitlin and Candice then had to defeat Roxie, at which point Caitlin accepted that the most important aspect was different for every individual. Roxie was also featured in the "Summer Superstars" Story Event, where Scottie/Bettie, [[Lyra]] and [[Steven Stone]] had to defeat the team made up by her, [[Lisia]] and [[Ryuki]] in order to win the Pasio Superstar Competition. Roxie implied that she was competing as a way to motivate her dad, although she was then embarrassed and claimed otherwise. |
