**Rio** is the wife of Midas and mother of Jules. She was a reoccurring character in Chapter 2: Season 2, appearing only in Midas's flashbacks and in the “Toon World” in Chapter 2, Season 6. However, that was a fake. She is also revealed to be Orelia. She is voiced by Ariel Hack.

## Bio

We do not know much about her past. She met Midas when he was working at the Durr Burger. She said to Midas to call her but Rio forgot to give him her number. They then went skateboarding together. When we first met her, she told Midas before they got married to call her Rio because her real name is too hard to pronounce. Midas and her get married and have Marigold. She then was thought to have died after giving birth to Marigold. In the episode “MIDAS BECOMES A CARTOON! (A Fortnite Short Film)”, we get to see her in Grimey's “Toon world” when Midas was there. Rio says that in this world she is alive but in the real world she isn’t.

We find out that after giving birth to Marigold, Oro takes Rio into his palace and makes her stay there until Oro is killed by Midas, her husband. After Oro is killed, Rio becomes Orelia and guards the ruins below Flush Factory. Oro still lives inside of her and wants her to do bad things but she wants to just be reunited with Midas her husband and Marigold her daughter. After Midas saves Skye and Meowscles, Oro tricks her into thinking that Skye and Meowscles are Midas’ family, not her, so now she wants to come for Midas. After her and Midas battle it out, she says that she cannot fight anymore and tells Midas, “Take care of our daughter.” She is referring to Marigold. Midas then realizes that Orelia is his dead wife, Rio. Orelia/Rio thought Midas had forgotten about her but she stopped fighting him because when he was fighting her, she realized that Midas truly loves and cares about their daughter, Marigold, so she had mercy for him. Midas then goes down to the ruins where Orelia resides. Rio and Young Midas talk to each other. Midas talks about their daughter, Marigold to Orelia/Rio. Midas wants Orelia/Rio to meet her but Orelia doesn’t know if she can becuase Oro’s essence still lives inside of her and won’t allow her to. Orelia then fades away and Midas swears that he will lift the curse from his family and find Oro, no matter how long it takes.

In the Chapter 3: Season 2 finale. She is finally freed from Oros control and gets her body back after Oro puts his body into Omega Knights. Midas then takes the opportunity to kill Omega Knight and Oro. Midas, Jules, Rio, and Skye then kill them both, and Rio meets her daughter for the first time. Midas, Jules, and Rio then decide to leave the island to live the life they always wanted, as a family.

What an amazing ending for a character that suffered so much. Rio fought against Oro for all those years, and now she gets to rest with her husband and her daughter.

## Trivia

* In a mini game episode, she tells her daughter Marigold that Redux was the best man at her and Midas’ wedding but he wasn’t the “best, best man”.
* She met Midas when he was working at the Durr Burger.
* Her and Midas got into a fight with a guy because Rio said that Midas’ tattoos are better than his.
* She was thought to be dead after giving birth to Marigold.
* When Midas saw her in the “Toon world” she said “In this world, we can be the perfect family. In this world, we can be together forever!”
* She has only ever been in 2 mini games. Those 2 are “MARIGOLD VS. MIDAS” and “DO WHAT ORELIA SAYS… or DIE!”
* Orelia was revealed to be Rio in the episode “ORELIA ORIGIN STORY! (A Fortnite Short Film)”. Oro messes with her mind because he still lives inside of her.
* Rio became Orelia after Midas killed Oro. Orelia has to now protect the ruins below flush factory. This can explain why Midas never saw her in the afterlife.
* Each time Marigold (or Midas) has seen Orelia, she is in a different kind of “mental” state. Once she was in a trance and another time she was confused. This is likely because of Oro because he is partially possessing her.
* When she was her regular self, she always kept a knife in her pocket just in case. Even in the Chapter 3: Season 2 finale, she had her knife in her pocket and hit Oro with it.
