He has messy chestnut hair, emerald-green eyes, and countless tiny scratches from climbing trees or exploring places he probably shouldn't. His grin almost always suggests he's planning something.

The Orion Library is the largest academic building within Novastra Pokémon Academy and serves as the primary center for research, independent study, and historical preservation. Named after the Orion constellation—a symbol of guidance and discovery—the library stands as one of the academy's oldest and most respected landmarks.
Spanning three floors, the library houses thousands of physical books alongside a vast digital archive, covering every known Pokémon region, species, battle theory, mythology, ecology, and scientific research. Students, professors, and visiting scholars frequently spend hours within its quiet halls, making it one of the busiest academic locations on campus.
Tall arched windows fill the interior with natural light during the day, while warm lanterns and soft reading lamps create a peaceful atmosphere in the evenings. Comfortable seating areas, private study rooms, and silent reading zones ensure every student has a suitable place to work.
Unlike most libraries, Orion also features interactive research terminals connected to the academy's database, allowing students to access Pokédex records, battle footage, historical documents, and approved scientific journals.
Students often joke that if information exists anywhere in the Pokémon world, there's probably a copy of it somewhere in Orion Library.

The Novastra Main Hall serves as the administrative and ceremonial heart of the academy. Every student, teacher, guest, and visiting trainer passes through its towering entrance at least once.
The building features polished marble floors, tall windows that allow natural sunlight to illuminate the interior, and banners displaying the academy's crest. Portraits of distinguished graduates—including Champions, Professors, Rangers, Coordinators, and Gym Leaders—line the central corridor, reminding students of the academy's long history.
The lobby is almost always active. New students arrive here for enrollment, returning students gather before classes begin, and faculty members frequently hold announcements from the grand staircase.
