# 
== Appearance ==
As Rio, he had an appearance reminiscint of his previous life, with black eyes and black hair, a slender yet firm build. There's a bunch of old scars on his body from the times he lived in the slums, but they faded along the years.
As his second persona Haruto, he has grey asymmetrical hair that's longer on the right side of his face, a sharp face, strong and serious eyes, he oozes a calm and collected air around him, sometimes feeling dangerous but also somehow gives a feeling of warmth and security.
Due to the effects of spirit assimilation with Aishia at the end of volume 20, his appearance mostly stays the same as his persona Haruto. The main differences are his eyes changing from caramel to crimson, his hair changing to white, and all his old scars completely healing.
== Personality ==
At the age of 7, Rio gains the memories of Haruto Amakawa, whose life concluded in a tragic traffic accident on earth. More than just memories of his past life, Rio gains all the abilities Haruto held. He has the appearance of a 7 year old kid, but mentally he comes off as very mature, having already had 20 years of prior experience and knowledge. Rio is calm, rational and quite the scheming person. He always wears a poker face and acts extremely humble (sometimes too humble according to a certain person). But it's an act to not stand out too much and incur jealousy (inefficient against people like Hiroaki). Rio is a diligent guy, he learns to adapt in any situation he finds himself in. After saving Flora from a kidnapping, he doesn't hesistate to take up the king's offer to enter the royal academy and enroll despite being a commoner from the slums. Once he reached Seirei no Tami, he demands instruction in spirits arts. He saves Liselotte to inquire more about the Garlarc summoned hero, etc...
Rio is a kind character who prioritizes his friends over his personal interest most of the time, but he is also very insecure about relationships with others : he believes his desire of vengeance make him unworthy of happiness (particularly with Miharu). On the other hand, Rio becomes angry when someone hurts his friends and can be quite merciless
