A combination of great patience and attention to detail make her great at her job. She will always offer a shoulder for any person or pokemon that needs it. [b][color=f7976a]Background[/color][/b] With her father Gary off trying to keep pace with Ash, Arianna spent alot of her childhood with her great grandfather, the original Professor Oak. He is the reason she is where she is and not following in the footsteps of her father in becoming a pokemon trainer. She didn't attend school but instead worked with her grandfather in his lab and then the Institute once he had set it up. After his death it was ran by one of Oak's closest aides before control was passed to Arianna at the young age of 18. Many within the institute felt aggrieved to be passed over by the youngster, but she has since proven to be as capable if not more so than he late grandfather. She commands great respect from those around her for the direction she has taken the institute. The rapid expansion across Kanto and plans to move into the Johto region have widely applauded.[/center][/hider]
