Carmine

Carmine is a character who appears in Pokémon Horizons: The Series (the current main anime series). She's a student at Blueberry Academy and a skilled Pokémon Trainer from Kitakami.

Appearance: She's depicted as a slender teenage girl with striking yellow eyes and long black hair featuring red (scarlet) highlights or underlayer. She wears a yellow headband, a blue buttoned shirt, blue pants with white and blue stripes, red and white shoes, a white belt, a yellow fanny pack, and a red thumbless glove. She often has a somewhat half-closed eyed expression, along with subtle details like a beauty mark and light lipstick.

Personality: In the anime, Carmine comes across as strong-willed, competitive, and hot-tempered—she hates losing and can be quick to get frustrated or challenging (as seen in her interactions and battles, like her contest-turned-battle with Friede). She can initially seem standoffish, selfish, or a bit rough around new people, but she shows a caring side, especially toward those close to her (though her anime appearances so far focus more on her confident, boastful, and rivalry-driven traits without heavy emphasis on family dynamics like in the games). She's portrayed with a tsundere-like vibe in some fan discussions, blending feistiness with underlying warmth.

She's mainly known for her Sinistcha as her key Pokémon and has appeared in episodes involving festivals, battles, and research-related plotlines.
