'''Soul''' (Japanese: '''ソウル''' ''Soul'') is a fan-made name used to refer to the female [[player character]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the counterpart to {{ga|Gold}} in the same games.  This name is only used by fans who view her as a new character.  Fans who view her as an updated version of {{ga|Kris}} refer to her by that name. She is a young girl who lives with her mother in [[New Bark Town]].
'''Kotone''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') the female [[player character]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the counterpart to {{ga|Gold}} in the same games. She is a young girl who lives with her mother in [[New Bark Town]].

Soul can be seen talking with {{ga|Gold}} in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a {{p|Marill}}. It is unknown if she will always have Marill or if the Pokémon will change if another [[starter Pokémon]] is selected.

As details about her are scarce at the current time, it is unknown whether or not she is Kris or truly a new character. In a video from [[Pokémon Festa]], a tag battle featuring two male players vs. two female players was shown: in it, the male players were named as ヒロキ ''Hiroki'' and ソウル ''Soul'', while the females were named as ミキ ''Miki'' and ハート ''Heart''. The first male player's name is the same as one of {{ga|Gold}}'s default names in the original {{game|Gold}}, much like how {{ga|Red}} retains サトシ ''Satoshi'' from the original {{game|Red}} in {{game|FireRed}}, however, the first female player's name is not found in the default name list for {{ga|Crystal}} of {{ga|Kris}} (this could be explained as being a similarity to Gold also not having any of his Crystal names in Gold or Silver). The names of ハート ''Heart'' and ソウル ''Soul'' being used for the other female and male player, respectively, can also be noted as default names, much as Red and {{ga|Leaf}} both had ファイア ''Fire'' and リーフ ''Leaf'' among their default names in FireRed and LeafGreen, respectively. Another name, コトネ ''Kotone'', has been put forward by a manga, however, it may be in the same vein as [[Hareta]] or [[Mitsumi]], and not have any relation to the name of this character at all.
Kotone will appear in the anime in the near future.

{{ga|Leaf}}'s own existence also points toward evidence that may lead to a confirmation of Soul's identity. While {{game|Red and Green|s}} were being developed, a female player character was initially planned, but later dropped, presumably due to lack of memory. This girl has a similar design to {{spe|Blue}} from [[Pokémon Special]], and when FireRed and LeafGreen were released, Special's Blue changed her clothes to those of Leaf. Presumably, if Kris and Soul are one in the same, Special would address this by changing {{spe|Crystal}}'s clothes to match. As Crystal initially had brown hair, changed during the course of Generation II to match both Kris and {{jo|Marina}}, her counterparts, this may indicate something.

With an [[DP143|upcoming appearance]] of Soul in the anime, this problem may soon have an answer, depending on what the anime's name for her is. Like {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|May}}, whose names are shared with their game counterparts in all languages, Soul is likely to have whatever in-game name she has in the anime, provided that her anime counterpart is not just Marina in different clothes (as several other characters have been shown to change clothes over the course of the anime). Marina's relatively recent appearances in the anime show that her existence has not been forgotten, despite ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' now being nearly ten years old, and so this article will remain until the verification of Soul's identity.
