## Personality

Liko is the type of person who won't find anything until she searches for it herself. She isn't the most outgoing type, and is more socially awkward and introverted, though she secretly wishes to make friends with others. She is also hoping to strengthen her bond with Sprigatito. She also likes to jot down her experiences in her journal and add illustrations to those entries.

When meeting new people, Liko tends to be bashful but also polite towards them. When being pursued by the Explorers, she feels somewhat responsible for putting the school building or the Brave Olivine in danger. In part due to her father Alex being an artist, Liko has higher than average perception, making use of it in her daily life. She can understand an artist's intention through the art they make.

She frequently jots down notes on her Sprigatito to be a good partner for it, applying these notes for tasks at hand, such as using Sprigatito's sunbathing habits to quickly locate large numbers of Sunflora in Artazon. Liko also appears to have inherited some of her grandmother's yearning for adventure as noted by her father, having decided to tag along with the Rising Volt Tacklers rather than staying home when they returned to drop her off.

Liko is a kind and compassionate girl, however this can lead to hesitation. As seen during the gym challenge at Motostoke Stadium, Liko hesitated to complete her task to extinguish all the Litwick flames after seeing how hard Roy and Fuecoco were working. Again, when seeing how hard Wakaba was working to become a gym trainer. This in turn causes a rift in the relationship between her and Sprigatito who was working hard for her.
