Rita Mordio, also known as Ritacchi, Genius Mage and Flatty Mchesterson, is one of the main characters from the Tales of Vesperia series.
== Charactah Account ==
Rita is a researcher who studies blastia and hates to be interrupted during her research. She is eccentric and has a poor social disposition.
Contrary to what her young age would make one believe, Rita is actually one of the most intelligent mages of Aspio, the city of scholars. Despite this, she was treated as a weirdo due to her obsession with research and with blastia. When Yuri Lowell first inquired about the famed mage, Mordio, Aspio residents were in awe as to "why he wanted to see that weirdo." It is explained later in the game that the reason for her obsession was that her research was all she had due to her status as an orphan and her lack of any friends or family.
Rita's lack of social skills also stems from the fact that she always had to worry about herself instead of taking the time to socialize with others, and thus was not used to having friendly relationships. To add to the oddness, there is also something in her dresser than even Estelleis shocked about. Although there are many theories about what was in Rita's dresser, it is never found out for sure. In the end credits, it shows that Rita has continued to be a researcher, conducting experiments with chemicals and flying around in a device of her own build. She flies by Estelle and is later seen having tea with her, indicating that she maintains her friendship with the princess. At the end, the entire gang is seen at a reunion.

== Trivia ==
* An NPC dubs her "Flatty McChesterson." Unlike Estelle, she doesn't seem to mind, thinking large breasts just get in the way, although in the skit "The Proper and the Picky" she does seem to get sensitive about it.
* The live-action "Tales of Ristelle" skit hangs a massive lampshade on it, by having the Japanese VA for Zelos trick Rita's VA into showing up by telling her Estellle would be present. Rita calls him out for tricking her, while Zelos and Milla take turns needling her for being tsundere toward Estelle.
