Who Is Janine's Mother?

I have always wondered this but bulbapedia says it is unconfirmed. So what do you guys think. Theories are wanted!

A character that wasn't made because she would have no plot significance like most of the gym leader's parents..

My point is that she has both a father and an aunt

Who is her aunt? That might have escaped me.

Koga's younger sister Aya showed up a couple times in the anime, which would make her Janine's aunt. I don't believe she showed up in the games or the manga at all, so she might just be an anime exclusive character.

As for Janine's mother, she may very well be a ninja herself that stays out of the spotlight, but either way, I don't expect we'll ever get the chance to meet her. Just like your own mom in the Hoenn games, I don't think random trainers care too much about her, even if your dad happens to be a Gym Leader too.

maybe Janine's mother is *checks list of poison experts* maybe Roxie?

Pretty sure BW2 takes place years in the future from the Johto games, and Roxie seems not really older than Janine? So probably not.

but Janine's mother is probably a poison specialist.

She's probably a gym trainer or town resident but, like others have alluded to, we will never know.

Probably some unkown woman we've never seen. I don't really think there's much to speculate about this? Most Pokemon characters don't have any known family, so.
