==Role in the GASEverse==
===CURRENT ROLE===
Originated from a galaxy-Earth collision, Ringo is a transfer student, down-to-earth, cheery, curious, and pretty smart despite her life, no matter what.
She's a part of The Popping Puzzle A-Quads, alongside with Amitie and Arle. with Ally being the rare and 4th member ever since.
However, during some shenanigans, she meets up with Ecolo to figure out the messes.
She even encounters herself as Gala✪Comet Ringo, her alter ego, in which Suzuran, or instantly, half of the multiverse, is in severe catastrophes.
She currently resides in Suzuran with her family, in which they're a fresh produce family business, mainly of apples, being an exclusive transfer student of Higure University.
===BACKSTORY===
She was born during a galaxy-Earth collision, which was purposely done by Ecolo. As of humans and aliens interacting each other as a "failed" plan, Ringo's father was a human although, but her mother was a/n (human-like) alien, in which they met in Suzuran awhile ago. That's what how Ringo was born a hybrid of these 2 species.
With her super sense ability inherited from her mother, she realized that Ecolo started the collision incident. But up to this close, she wasn't ready to meet-up with him... yet~
During her early life, she's introduced as Higure University's transfer student, realizing how unique she was, and probably because of her intelligence. After that, she was planning to join a club here of her school, which is the Physics Club, made by Maguro. Later on, she was given a magical wrist bracelet by a student she knows, with an unknown reason why; apart from this, it has been given much power when owned.
Before her encounter with the two mages of the Puyo-side of the multiverse, well... Arle mainly, she learns how to Puyo Pop by her, due to curiosity.

In some T-to-M-rated media of this multiverse timeline, she contains a few sexual innuendoes, containing in some parts / cutscenes, like only wearing undergarments for example. As of wearing her main attire and some alternative outfits in those, some pantyshots may occur as well.
However, in the UNSAFER side of the GASEverse community, she's seen / drawn in fan-media, where she mates with Maguro or Arle.

==Creator's Notes and Trivia==
===TRIVIA:===
*Some of her (main) outfits are referenced to her OG counterpart's (alter) appearances by games:
**Ringo's first main attire is referenced out of her PuyoTet1 appearance.
*Back when she originally made her first debut in 7 (2009), SEGA and Sonic Team planned her to be(come) a maho shojo / magical girl, according to her Deka / Mini forms, but since and until her 2nd debut in 20th (2011), the idea was instantly scrapped.
**Most or part of the fan community brought that idea back, however, which was for their fanon lore.
**The concept idea was originated until 7's release, within her maho shojo companions being scrapped away as Maguro (blue-haired) and Risukuma (blonde).
***Luckily, those scrapped characters from that concept were introduced as separate characters for the multiverse; i.e. Hotaru.
*To some Puyo fans, the OG Ringo was based on an apple, according to her hairstyle, her first name, the colors (optionally), and of her carrying her signature apple most of the time.
**In the multiverse, it might be true if Ringo was based on an apple in this, but it could be curious about her species...
**Musician Ringo Starr basically shares the same name as his stage name, tbh.
*FUN FACT: Ringo shares parallels with Atomic Betty's Betty Barrett, due to them being green-eyed redhead students, having interests relating to space and planetary culture, and even transform into their heroic alter egos when needed to save the galaxy.
**She even shares parallels with Blossom Utonium, not only because they're redheads, but also because of their level of intelligence.
