Popular Tropes & Fanon
Many headcanon that a character from Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Charm, is her ancestor. The two look very similar and Charm also uses Ground-type Pokémon. Agatha could also be her ancestor. Charm is from Kanto, the same region as Agatha, and she also uses Ghost-type Pokémon. The most popular theory is that Charm is both their ancestors and that Agatha & Bertha are related.
Another headcanon is that Agatha and Bertha are twin sisters.
