Template:GymLeaderBox "It's OK! You can let that person in. Cynthia sent word to me. You're working on a Pokédex, aren't you? There should be many rare Pokémon in the temple. Enjoy your exploring!"-Candice, Pokémon Platinum. Candice (スズナ Suzuna) serves as the Gym Leader at the Snowpoint City Gym. She specializes in Ice-type Pokémon and holds the Icicle Badge for the trainers that can defeat her.

Appearance and attitude

Candice has brown shoes, long blue socks, a white shirt and a blue cardigan most of the time tied around her waist but sometimes when just talking worn on top of the white shirt. Candice has never said anything of why she wears a sweater tied around her waist but just does it joyfully.

Candice's attitude is kind towards Pokémon as shown when she stroked Zoey's Glameow. Candice in the games talks in third person: "You want to battle Candice", but in the anime Candice talks like a normal person.

Trivia

Candice lives in the north of the Sinnoh Region, the coldest place in Sinnoh. So it's quite peculiar that Candice ties her sweater around her waist in cold weather and has long socks.
Candice's name is a play on the word ICE, since she is an Ice-type Pokémon trainer.
When excited or eager this fifteen year old will tie her blue sweater around her waist. She performed this when she was teaching at her school, battling Ash and Team Rocket and even in the tournament sitting up and down. (It is easy to see the sweater on her waist).
Candice could possible be modeled after the legend of the Yuki-onna, as she has black hair, pale skin, and trains ice types.
Candice is the only female Gym Leader to specialize in Ice-Types.
Candice and dancers are the only ones to tie a sweater/hoodie around their waists in the Pokémon games.
All Ice type Gym Leaders but Wulfric of Snowbelle City are the seventh of their region: Pryce of Mahogany Town and Brycen of Icirrus City.
In the anime, Candice has a habit of saying Key-eye! to punctuate her sentences.
Despite being an Ice type specialist, in Diamond and Pearl she has a Medicham which is a Fighting/Psychic type, though Medicham knows Ice Punch.
