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.

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.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
