Name: Liko Age: 13 Region: Paldea Partner Pokémon: Sprigatito → Floragato → Meowscarada Affiliation: Rising Volt Tacklers Appearance: Liko is a young girl with a gentle and thoughtful appearance. She has long, dark blue hair that reaches past her shoulders, with lighter blue highlights that give it a soft, distinctive look. Her bangs frame her face, and she often wears a small hair clip near the side of her head. Her eyes are large and expressive, usually showing curiosity, uncertainty, or quiet determination. Her outfit combines the school uniform of the Indigo Academy with her own adventurous style. She wears a dark blue blazer over a light-colored shirt, a red-and-blue striped tie, and a short pleated skirt. She also wears dark knee-high socks and brown shoes. Her most recognizable accessory is her Tera Orb pendant, which she wears around her neck and keeps close at all times. Personality: Liko is initially shy, reserved, and somewhat hesitant when meeting new people. She tends to think carefully before acting and can sometimes overthink situations. Despite this, she possesses a strong sense of empathy and genuinely cares about Pokémon and the people around her. As her journey progresses, Liko becomes much more confident. She learns to trust her instincts, stand up for herself, and make difficult decisions even when she's scared. Rather than being the loudest or most aggressive person in a situation, Liko's strength comes from her intelligence, emotional awareness, determination, and ability to understand others. She can be surprisingly stubborn when something—or someone—she cares about is threatened. Although she may hesitate at first, once Liko decides what she believes is right, she refuses to easily give up. Pokémon Partner — Sprigatito: Sprigatito is Liko's first partner Pokémon and one of her closest companions. The Grass-type Pokémon is energetic, curious, affectionate, and sometimes mischievous. Sprigatito has green fur, large expressive eyes, and a leafy ruff around its neck. The two gradually develop an incredibly strong bond. Liko doesn't simply treat Sprigatito as a battling partner—she sees it as a friend and companion. Their relationship becomes one of the most important parts of her journey.
