Rika (Phantasy Star)

Rika, also known as Fal, is one of the main characters from the Phantasy Star series.
== Charactah Account ==
Rika is a Numan, a genetically engineered being created in an underground laboratory by the computer Seed. Though she's only a year old, she looks like a young adult woman. She possesses an optimistic, friendly personality, and all the curiosity you'd expect of an intelligent being that's never seen the outside world.
When she joins the party, she is only one year old and has spent her entire life within the Bio-Plant, but has been given a basic education by Seed and Wren; Rika refers to them as her teachers, and respects them greatly.  Over the course of the game, she displays considerable knowledge of Algo's ancient advanced technology and can operate machines that other party members cannot, particularly the crashed ship northwest of Nalya, but she lacks personal experience and is fascinated with the outside world.  This is reflected in her level progression; she begins the game with zero experience and gains new levels faster than any other character.
Despite her limited life experience, she seems to have a high degree of emotional awareness, and some of her dialogue with NPCs, interactions with Rune (particularly after procuring the Psycho-Wand), and encounters with Dark Force and its related schemes suggest that she has a low-level psychic empathy.  This may have been a deliberate choice on Seed's part; with all of her teachers being AI units and unable to leave the Bio-Plant to learn social interaction, designing her with a sixth sense may have been a work-around; Rika rarely, if ever, has difficulty understanding nuance or innuendo from other characters.
