'''Karna''' (Japanese: '''カーナ''' ''Karna'') is a recurring character who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. She is a [[Poké Ball]] developer who lives in the [[Galar]] [[region]].

==History==
[[File:Orla and Karna.png|250px|left|thumb|Karna and Orla]]
In ''[[HZ028|The Stolen Treasure]]'', Karna was an {{wp|unseen character}}, negotiating with [[Tepen]] over the phone for one of the [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s that belonged to [[Liko]] and [[Roy]]. This situation made Liko, Roy, and [[Friede]] think that everything was a scheme created by the [[Explorers]]. When the situation was resolved, Tepen revealed the real identity of his contractor and where her warehouse was located.

In ''[[HZ029|Orla and the Poké Ball Smith]]'', Karna met [[Orla]], Friede, Liko, and Roy when one of their machines malfunctioned. Roy showed her the Poké Ball belonging to the [[Black Rayquaza]] in his possession, but she didn't know anything useful. As the day went on, Karna and Orla repaired the machines in [[Karna's Poké Ball factory|Karna's workshop]], who suggested that Orla start helping Karna permanently. When a group of {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} went on rampage, Karna and Orla joined forces to increase the factory's production so that the {{pkmn|category|Poison Gas Pokémon}} can feed on the pollution generated by the chimneys. After everything returned to normal, Orla revealed to Karna that she couldn't help her, and Karna understood, but gave Orla one of her creations, a special Poké Ball.

During the year after the [[HZ089|events]] in [[Laqua]], Orla accepted Karna's offer and moved in with her in [[Galar]], though Karna noted that Orla's personality was different. In ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', it was revealed that she was also hired by [[Exceed]] to create some [[Strong Sphere|custom pieces]] whose purpose was not revealed to her. Upon learning the truth from the Rising Volt Tacklers when they [[HZ099|reunited]] with Orla, Karna decided to end her collaboration with the company despite their insistence that it was safe.

In the [[HZ100|next episode]], Karna watched Liko, Roy, [[Dot]], and [[Ult]]'s battle against [[Indi]] and [[Rubina]], when they defeated the duo, Karna assured them that she would take care of disposing of the prototypes. When Orla managed to complete the repairs on the [[Brave Olivine]] and the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] were ready to depart, Orla bid farewell to Karna who said that she knew this moment would come, before leaving, Orla handed Karna a custom Poké Ball made by her, which Karna thanked for being something unique and made with passion.

==Character==
Despite the misunderstanding in their first interaction, Karna is a good person, quickly becoming friends with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], especially [[Orla]], which made them closer to each other with common goals. She also takes pride in her work, especially if they are being used for good causes and refuses to be a part of sinister machinations. This is shown in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', when she immediately sided with the Rising Volt Tacklers upon learning her work was causing Pokémon to suffer.

==Creations==
[[File:HZ029 Poké Ball 3.png|250px|thumb|Some of Karna's custom Poké Balls]]
In the past, Karna was taught by her former master that the Poké Ball should bring out the best in each Pokémon. Karna took this teaching with her by creating several varieties of Poké Ball, each with a specific purpose.

As a Poké Ball developer, Karna created some unique concepts used in her prototypes.
