Rita Young

Rita Young is a character created by Fantasy Flight Games as part of their Arkham Horror Files line of Cthulhu Mythos-related content.
==History==
Growing up as part of a poor family in the American South, Rita is well acquainted with persecution, but as a strong independent young woman never let it get to her.
Discovering from an early age that she possessed a natural ability as an athlete, Rita worked hard and managed to secure herself a track-and-field scholarship at Arkham's prestigious Miskatonic University.
===Ghouls of the Miskatonic===
Graham McNeill's novel Ghouls of the Miskatonic expands on Rita's character considerably, showing that she has a certain knowledge of black magic, and perhaps even a degree of proficiency in its use.
In the story, Rita and her best friend, roommate Amanda Sharpe, are kidnapped by a sinister cult of Cthulhu worshipers and their pet ghouls, but are eventually rescued by a ragtag group of people investigating the disappearances, including Rex Murphy and Finn Edwards.
==Behind the Mythos==
The character of Rita Young was first introduced in the Arkham Horror Second Edition expansion Dunwich Horror. She later appeared in Eldritch Horror, Mansions of Madness, Arkham Horror: The Card Game, the aforementioned Ghouls of the Miskatonic, and in the form of a gaming accessory as part of the Arkham Horror Premium Figures line.
