A character from the anime/book/manga series, The Rising of the Shield Hero. She appears as a woman in her mid-twenties, with long orange hair and raccoon-like ears and tail. What makes her special in the series is that, like all "demi-humans" (referred to as half-animals in the anime), her maturity is based on how fast she "levels up" (in the world that ROTSH takes place in, it is similar to an RPG and has a similar levelling-based system.). This results in her eventually having more physical growth compared to mental growth.

In the anime, she is partnered with the Shield Hero (there are four "cardinal heroes" in the anime), Naofumi Iwatani. She and Filo (another character) often argue over him on certain matters.

Also, she gets lewded, which results in two different fanbases: the "Protect Raphtalia" fanbase and the "Lewd Raphtalia" fanbase.

Raphtalia is a name that embodies sweetness, kindness, strength, and unwavering loyalty. She is the friend you never expected but always needed, the one who stands by your side through thick and thin, bringing courage and love in every situation. With her gentle heart, she lights up the room, and her laughter is a melody that makes everything feel right. Raphtalia is always quick to defend those she cares about, standing up for her friends and family without hesitation. Her loyalty runs deep; when she loves, she gives her all, proving that true affection knows no bounds. She sees your worth even when you're blind to it, and her pure, heartfelt love is something you never want to take for granted. To know Raphtalia is to know a love that is irreplaceable, a bond that feels like home, and a reminder that the most beautiful connections are often found in the most unexpected places.
Me I love you, Raphtalia.
Raphtalia Oh, come on now… How many times do I have to tell you? Your love is cute, but it’s nothing compared to the way I feel about you!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
