'''Liko''' (Japanese: '''リコ''' ''Liko'') is one of the protagonists of ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', as well the first female protagonist in the Pokémon animated series.<ref>https://pokemon.gamespress.com/Pokemon-Reveals-Pokemon-Horizons-The-Series-as-Official-Title-of-Next-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Silaistheb32044/status/1762106304980557883</ref> She owns a mysterious pendant, which was given to her by her grandmother {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}}, which was later revealed to be a hibernating {{p|Terapagos}}. Liko remotely attends [[Indigo Academy]] and is a member of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

Liko grew up in [[Cabo Poco]] in the [[Paldea]] region with her parents, {{OBP|Alex|Horizons}} and [[Lucca]]. Liko also grew up with her grandmother, {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}}, hearing stories of the adventures and journeys she went through around the world. From her, Liko eventually received a mysterious pendant. After saying this gift will be important to her in the future, Diana told Liko that she should rely on her Pokémon to be able to venture out and face her fears on her {{pkmn|journey}}.

In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', the Rising Volt Tacklers landed in Paldea. Before heading to her home in [[Cabo Poco]], Liko guided Roy and Friede as they toured around [[Mesagoza]]. After Friede failed to get a hold of her mother, Liko suggested visiting [[Alex (Horizons)|her father]], which quickly made her feel uneasy after realizing that her journey could soon be over. At home, she overheard her father talking to Friede about how he was worrying about her being by herself. After a sleepless night back at the Brave Olivine, and a run-in with a wild {{p|Lechonk}}, she told her father that she still wanted to be a member of the Rising Volt Tacklers and travel the world with them. Her father accepted her wishes and told them about the sightings of a mysterious Pokémon over [[Artazon]]. In the [[HZ010|next episode]], Liko and Roy went to the city, where they met the {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}} [[Nemona]] and the local {{type|Grass}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Brassius]]. During their time together, they learned that Brassius saw the Black Rayquaza flying over the [[Arboliva Forest]] and decided to make it their next destination.

Liko is a kind, soft-spoken, and polite girl who doesn't do well in stressful situations. She seems to be studious when it comes to learning about how to build a bond with Pokémon and is rather insightful, being able to spot behavioral patterns with ease, such as [[Captain Pikachu]]'s during the [[HZ007|special training]]. She also has been shown to be cautious of trusting others, as she quickly realized something was up when [[Amethio]] presented himself as a representative of her grandmother, {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}}, and was initially unsure about the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] since [[Friede]] took her to their [[Brave Olivine|airship]] without giving her any information about what was happening. However, after seeing the Rising Volt Tacklers willing to protect her and helped her rescue {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} from the [[Explorers]], Liko came to trust them. Despite her smarts, Liko has also been shown to be gullible and naïve on occasion, mainly when it comes to realizing that Nidothing and [[Dot]] are the same person until she told her the truth in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Liko can also be clumsy and has a tendency to lose her balance, stumble, or fall down on occasion. In addition, she appears to be adept at drawing, as it is common for her to do so when she writes on her [[Rotom Phone|diary]] about her day. Liko is a big fan of Nidothing and watches her videos, where she posts comments under the username '''SprigatitoLove''' (Japanese: '''ニャオハ大好きっ子''' ''{{tt|Nyahoja|Sprigatito}} Superfan'').
