Raifort

Raifort is a supporting character in the Pokémon anime, specifically appearing in Pokémon Horizons: The Series. She serves as the history teacher at Naranja Academy (also referred to as Orange Academy in some translations).

She is depicted as a calm and composed educator with a deep passion for ancient history, myths, legends, and the romanticism of the past—particularly related to the Paldea region's lore, such as Area Zero and historical Pokémon events. In the anime, she occasionally shows excitement when encountering old or historically significant things.

Physically, she is a dark-skinned woman with purple hair tied in a ponytail, grey eyes, and typically wears a blue-collared shirt, golden semi-rimless glasses, blue jeans with a brown belt, and matching shoes. She accessorizes with items inspired by legendary Pokémon (like a necklace resembling Articuno, a belt buckle like Lunala, a Marshadow hair pin, and a Tapu Koko-inspired bracelet).

Her partner Pokémon is a Zoroark, which has a playful or prankster side in some depictions.

She interacts with main characters like Liko, Roy, Dot, and Professor Friede, such as meeting them at the academy on Clavell's request, and she occasionally ties into storylines involving historical or mysterious elements.
