Franka (Japanese: ブランカ Blanca) is a supporting character in Pokémon Horizons: The Series. She is Dot's mother and Murdock's younger sister.

History

Pre-series

Before Dot joined the Rising Volt Tacklers, Franka and Dot decided that they'd have a trial period to evaluate whether the experience was what Dot wanted. Franka tasked Murdock with taking care of Dot, and keeping her up-to-date on her daughter's life aboard the Brave Olivine.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Dot and Franka

Franka was briefly mentioned, albeit not by name, by Murdock in Arboliva's Forest.

In A Wild Mom Appears!, after some time without answers from Murdock or Dot, Franka traveled with Friede to Brave Olivine to personally check on her daughter and bring her back home. Upon arriving at the airship, Franka met Liko, Roy and introduced herself to the others, shortly after, she decided to talk about Dot's situation in the group with her daughter's friends, after that, with Liko's insistence, Franka let her Liko and Roy try to talk to Dot.

Upon seeing Dot opening up to her friends and that she has two Pokémon partners, Franka decided to challenge her daughter to a Pokémon battle. After Dot finally managed to open up to her mother in battle, Dot's Quaxly managed to learn Low Kick and defeat her mother's Lycanroc. After this, Franka gave her approval for Dot to continue traveling.

Character

Franka is an overly expressive person that says a lot about her family members. She is often stopped by her Lycanroc from getting off topic.

Similar to Dot, Franka puts her hair back when she's getting serious or entering a battle. Just like her older brother, Franka has a Pokémon from Rockruff's evolutionary line, although in her case it is a Midnight Form Lycanroc. This choice seems to reflect on the way she dresses, as Franka wears clothes and accessories with similar patterns to Lycanroc's forms, as well as a pair of Rockruff slippers.
