Because of her standing as a producer, Palermo attracts considerable unwanted press attention. She is also tasked with scouting young Performers and assisting them in building successful careers within the Showcase circuit. Nevertheless, Palermo appears to favor scouting girls who possess the potential to become a kindhearted Kalos Queen. She only determines that a Performer deserves the title after personally witnessing their performance, rather than relying on recommendations from others.
In her debut episode, it was disclosed that Palermo had been maintaining a distance from Showcase tournaments and was reluctant to return. Despite this hesitation, she visited the Coumarine City theater to observe the Rookie Class competition held there. Since then, Palermo has been depicted watching various other Pokémon Showcases, occasionally offering commentary alongside her assistant.
The episode Party Dancecapades! (XY105) revealed Palermo's involvement in Aria's rise to fame. The two share a close bond, and Palermo has declared that there will be no Kalos Queen like Aria. They remain in contact, and Aria holds Palermo in high esteem, having been mentored by her while aspiring to become Kalos Queen.
