Ryo Aizawa (Tenki)

:This is the version of Ryo Aizawa from Angel Knight. You may also be looking for the version from The Next Knight in the Area.
Ryo Aizawa is the twin of Hiroki Aizawa and the third child, and youngest daughter, of Kakeru and Nana. She is a swimmer.
==Appearance==
===Physical===
Ryo resembles her mother, Nana, greatly with her facial features and light brown hair that goes past her shoulders.
===Clothing===
==== Day-wear ====
===== Casual =====
Ryo's usual warm-weather outfits usually consist of a spaghetti-strap tank top or a blouse with a mini-skirt. She also wears overalls with a t-shirt. She also wears a backless halterneck that's tied behind her neck and lower back to secure it, usually with either denim hotpants or a miniskirt. Sometimes she might be bold enough to go out wearing a bikini top with hotpants. On special occasions – usually dates or the like – she also wears mini sundresses.
Moderate weather or winter clothes often consist of a hoodie, and she wears jeans mostly during this part of the year.
Like her elder sister, Ryo hates wearing bras so she usually goes without one, or buys shirts that have them built in. But she does wear them with under her school uniform.
===== Uniform =====
==== Footwear ====
Ryo usually wears sneakers, but she also wears open-toe kitten heels. Not long after she started her second year of middle school, she started wearing high heel sandals (mostly as a way to bond with Mai after they repaired their relationship), though she had considerable trouble walking in them until she got used to them.
When there's snow on the ground, she wears snow boots.
==== Swimwear ====
As a swimmer, Ryo owns many pieces of swimwear:
During swim team activities and practice, she wears varying patterns of racerbacks from the same brand, which she chooses mostly depending on her mood for the day.
Outside competition and practice, she has many sets of swimsuits. She actually has a collection of many swimsuits (both one and two pieces) that she wears depending on the occasion or her mood. Ryo also has a habit of wearing her swimsuits under her clothes.
==Personality==
Just like Hiroki and Koichi, Ryo is very supportive of their older sister. Ryo is very attached to Keiko and sees her as a role model. However, that strong bond with her older sister also makes things more difficult when Keiko does anything rash. Although Ryo is usually a calm person, there are moments when she can be outspoken when something really upsets her.
Like her older sister, Ryo can be very serious and competitive when it comes her sport.
Outside of family, friends and sports, Ryo is a swimsuit fashion fanatic (a swimsuit otaku in Japanese context), hence why she owns so many sets of swimsuits. Ryo often (almost daily) poses/models and takes selfies in swimwear, and habitually goes to stores to do the same. She regularly uploads these selfies on her social media and blog, and has amassed quite a following. Sometimes she gets Keiko, Yuki and Chiho to model as well, often by bribing them with their favorite treats.
Ryo is also a lover of marine animals.
==Abilities==
Ryo is a swimmer and she specializes in the freestyle, but is equally strong in the butterfly and backstroke. She also does breaststroke, but is not as proficient in that discipline. She is highly regarded as one of the fastest swimmers of her age in Kanagawa (a feat not impeded by her well-endowed chest), a position disputed with her teammate, and main rival, Maki Sakonji.
She does mermaiding. Performing more graceful maneuvers that capture the awe of many who see her. She normally does it in the rooftop pool of the condo building or the local pool, sometimes for an audience (which occasionally earns her pocket-money), but goes out to do it in the sea – supervised by adults – whenever she gets a chance.
Ryo is also a very good cook, and is the only one of the Aizawa siblings with any real skill. She took over cooking after Nana died, and makes lunch for her siblings every day.
=== Personal Records ===
Ryo typically competes in 50m, 100m, and 200m races individually, but also participates in medley relays with her team.
While Ryo's prowess and speed is not without peer, she has set a number of personal records while competing in various competitions since she was young.
Since entering middle school, her latest records are as follows:

One of her most prominent is an orange, green, blue and white camo-pattern string bikini. Others include: various white bikinis decorated with fruits (cherries, strawberries, pineapples, etc).
She also has several children's swimwear from her younger years. She holds on to them out of nostalgia.

Soichi Awashima宗一 淡島 	Boyfriend 	
Soichi is Ryo's boyfriend, as well as the manager of her middle school swim team. 
An effeminate boy with little masculinity, Soichi suffers from a case of gynephobia as a result of having been bullied by girls most of his life, mainly by his stepsister, Madoka Awashima (まどか 淡島). His fear was particularly intensified from an incident when, in his first year of middle school, he was raped by a group of high school/college-age girls, his stepsister among them. However, he's not afraid of Ryo. This is because Ryo approached him with respect to his boundaries until he became comfortable enough to let his guard down. Because Ryo treats him with respect and kindness, he has gotten over his fear to an extent, and is even friends with Saki and Michiru, but remains timid around girls he's unfamiliar with. Ryo affectionately calls him So-chan. Soichi often acts as Ryo's "cameraman" for her swimsuit modeling, though he never got used to seeing Ryo in bikinis and still blushes profusely when he sees her in one.

Isamu勇 	Pet Cat 	
Isamu is a cat owned by Ryo, a male tortoiseshell Burmese. His name means "courage", which is meant to symbolize his courageous attempt to run from the shop while a riot was going on despite being so young. Adopted as a kitten not long before Nana died, Ryo first found him as he was trying to escape from a pet store where an animal riot was taking place. After helping to calm the riot, Ryo suddenly grew fond of the kitten and asked to be allowed to adopt him. Her parents, despite some reservations due to Keiko's dog, Tsukune, being an Akita (whom are known for chasing small animals if left unchecked), agreed and the two have been together ever since. He gets along well with Tsukune; although the dog wasn't enthusiastic about the "intruder" when Ryo brought the kitten home, Tsukune eventually warmed up to him.
