### Background

#### Childhood

Ritsu was born in Alice Springs, Australia to an Australian woman named Alice Springs, a pro hero with an unnamed Japanese father of the Amakusa clan. Born in Alice Springs Hospital, she was raised by her father while Alice performed her heroic duties as an pro hero. It was found out that her eyes, that being her pupils being plus-shaped is an mutant quirk from that of Accuracy and an quirk canned True Sight to which Ritsu quirk kept the name as it's fundamentally is True Sight with the plus-sign pupil being due to the Accuracy quirk.

Her mother stepped to confront the villain, who appearance made him stand 8ft tall compromised entirely out of hardened rock and flesh. She watched as Alice attempted to strike down the villain only to realize the hardened body made it almost impossible to deal with without her support items before the villain broke Alice's arm and flung her at their car. As Ritsu cried out to her, an miraculous saviour arrived in the form of the legendary Symbol of Peace, All Might who saved Alice from the villain and took him down. All Might turning to them declared he was here as soon his partner David Shield arrived to make sure Alice was safe. Soon after the attack, David along with All Might quickly took Alice to the Gold Coast hospital as the father drove Ritsu there to meet up with them later on.

During her early school years, Ritsu was present when a new student was introduced to her class being Tokisada Tachibana who moved all the way from Japan due to unforeseen conditions involving her family. Tokisada was then seated next to her for the remainer of her school life before her life at W.A. Academy. However it was found out Tokisada is quirkless and became the centre of irrational discrimination and harassment, even some calling out her racial heritage, some even suggesting she has no quirk due to being Japanese. Havin enough, Ritsu quickly defended Tokisada from the harassment before scaring them off after swiftly striking one across the chest. She turned to Tokisada and wish to be friends, not caring on being quirkless and to help her feel comfortable, holding her hand out. Tokisada took her hand and wish to also be friends, accepting the friendship and the two would grow close.

Along the way, Trucy asked if her mother was fine, responding that she was had retired from heroism about the day before she left the airport back in Alice Springs.

Designing her own equipment and weaponry, Ritsu passed the Academy's entrance examinations for her quick judgement, and weapon accuracy on the training drones that showcased awareness in the target, only disabling them and not actually destroying the drones. Through her tenure she rose as one of the more promising hero trainees in Class 1-A and upon graduation in getting her hero licence, was offered an side kick position at the National Commonwealth Rangers and was eventually known as the **Commando Hero: Ranger** (コマンドーヒーローレーンジャー, *Komandō Hīrō Rēnjā*) for her specialized role in dense environments and jungle-like regions.

### My Hero Academia: Two Heroes

As the No. 10 pro hero in Australia, Ritsu was given the opportunity to visit I-Island and invited to the I-Expo premiere as with many other pro heroes including being able to take an plus one. She'd gleefully invited her childhood friend Tokisada Tachibana to come to the I-Expo in hopes being will help her in someway which Tokisada accepted with delight before embracing her.

Ritsu was present at the reception party enjoying the reception with two other pro heroes discussing on their past history along with Tokisada, who was happily enjoying the food present and meeting those Ritsu meet. At the reception she decided to wear an white kimono to the reception where one of her pro hero friend found her stunning to behold, and thanked him for the compliment. Tokisada soon also complemented her before shying away, but she grabbed Tokisada hand and with a genuine smile brushed her forehead against Tokisada, thanking her for that. However before All Might could give out an speech, a group of villains appeared and declared them hostages before restraining devices took her over and forced her to the ground. Tokisada almost panicked and tried to save her only to have an gunshot be placed next to her foot, an expression of horror taken Tokisada's face. She calmed Tokisada and told her to do as they say and to wait for any possible help. Waiting, thanks to Shield's daughter and the efforts of some students of Class 1-A, the security system was taken back and the restraints disable, causing Ritsu to instantly spring into action and knocking out two villains near her. After done she'd quickly checked on Tokisada to see if she was alright before she left the party where she re-dressed into her hero uniform she brought with.

Soon after All Might and Izuku defeated the invading villains, Ritsu is seen fully in her armoured outfit as she was still part of the Commonwealth Police, held the authority to arrest Wolfram along with his allies assisted by other pro heroes. The Commonwealth Police from Australia soon arrived to take Wolfram to Tartarus Prison as she joined them in their escort.

Before leaving, Ritsu with Tokisada next to her went to see if All Might was available in hopes to allow Tokisada to meet him. However one of the Class 1-A students, Izuku quickly informed her that he had other matters to deal with, which she accepted. Izuku however apologised to Tokisada, but Tokisada was cool with it as someone such as All Might must always be busy before walking away to return to Australia.

### Hideout Raid Arc

Wanting to visit where her father and the Amakusa clan originated, Ritsu decided to travel to Japan sometime after the I-Island Incident and began to explore the country with Tokisada, including heading to the prefecture her great-grandfather was born. Due to not working as an hero at this time, she worn casual clothing but was seen noticed by citizens who recognized her as the ranked 10th Australian, surprising her. As they went to greet her, she asked how they know her as the 10th ranked hero in Australia, shocked that some Japanese citizens would actually noticed. One of them responded by the fact their grandfather was saved by her own grandfather and has since been following the Amakusa clan progression since, including in Australia.

After thanking and wrote autographs for the people, Ritsu decided to check out the esteemed U.A. High for herself to which Tokisada wanted to check other areas out. She'd thenb callED Snipe to see if she can get permission to enter the school grounds to see what it's like, which was granted after Snipe spoke with Nezu. Greeted by Snipe at the entrance, Snipe asked her how she's been, which she responded with a good feeling since the I-Island Incident. As Snipe gave her a tour of the U.A. campus, they walked pass the hero course classrooms where each of the forty students would've been taught. However she noticed they were empty and questioned what has happened, Snipe responded about an villain attack on a training camp by the League of Villains and so the students are asked to stay home due to the sustained injuries they gotten.

Eventually Ritsu was introduced to principal Nezu who is quite aware who she is and is quite happy to meet her in person and offered tea to discuss some topics he had in mind. Accepting the tea, Nezu proposed that she assist in an upcoming raid operation to which to save Katsuki Bakugo and apprehend the League. She'd accepted to assist the Japanese police as she is still an officer in the Australian Commonwealth Police and holds authority to legally arrest villains and criminals. Nezu thanked her and asked her to prepare as it'll begin tonight.

Later that night, Ritsu was with other high profile heroes such as Endeavour and Best Jeanist, but most shocking of all was the Symbol of Peace All Might himself, the man that inspired her to become an hero like many others. As she listened Tsukauchi, she looked around hoping to see Snipe only to not see him. Next to her, she Kamui Wood that Snipe was gonna be here, but Kamui responded that he unfortunately other duties right now and couldn't attend and was told what she has to perform.

Soon after they began their operations into raiding the hideouts, which Ritsu was paired with alongside Mt. Lady, Tiger, Best Jeanist, and Gang Orca into raiding the League of Villains' warehouse and was able to apprehend the nomu located inside with relative ease. Jeanist then told her to use her quirk True Sight to investigate the interior to make sure they hadn't miss anything. As she walked deeper into the warehouse being able to easily see, she was suddenly grabbed by the throat suddenly as she cried in surprise, catching the attention of the other heroes. Soon enough it was revealed to be All for One as Jeanist quickly restrains him and saved Ritsu from his clutches. However before anyone could react, All for One destroys the warehouse with an powerful quirk attack upon them.

Ritsu along with the other heroes was able to survive thanks to the quick thinking and act on Best Jeanist's part before once again attempting to restrain All for One only to be single-handily taken down with an Air Cannon to the chest. Ritsu saw what occurred and held an face of horror before shouting at All for One before out an Striker Pistol and aimed it at All for One. Before she however could react much like Best Jeanist, an powerful shock shock across her body was crushed by an Air Cannon attack breaking her armour plating easily as she falls to the ground.

Ritsu falls unconscious and was heavily wounded by the attack, but was later saved by Kamui Woods when they arrived to the scene soon after All Might appeared and taken to be treated for her injuries at an hospital where Tokisada sat by her said, fearful for her life due to the injuries cause many damages, including the risk that one of her kidneys has been destroyed.

### Pro Hero Arc

Ritsu awakened from her deep sleep after an surgery that resulted one of her two kidneys was destroyed and beyond operable and was removed due to being an health hazard. However the doctor's said further details can wait as they pointed to her side, looking she sees the sleeping form of Tokisada where the doctor revealed she as never once moved from that spot, deeply worried for her safety. She'd brushed Tokisada's hair before patting her head which awakened her. Upon Tokisada seeing her friend awakened, she was quick to embrace her, teary that her friend is still alive.

Ritsu was then taken back to Australia after being considered well enough to move in order to take an extended rest from her duties as an pro hero, deciding to live stay with Tokisada at her place for the remainder of her recovery. At the yearly Hero Billboard Chart AUS while absent, her efforts and contributions at the League of Villain raid made her climb in the rankings from No. 10 to No. 9, and having an honorary mention at the Hero Billboard Chart JP for the raid also.

### Meta Liberation War Arc

After three months of recovery, Ritsu has been healed and was permitted to continue her duties as an pro hero where she's seen patrolling her hometown of Alice Springs, keeping it safe from villains. As she walked she'd stop by when people came to ask for pictures and autographs and to see how she's fairing since her injury. She informed that she's fine and can do her duties to the good people of Alice Springs, causing those around her to be happy on her healthy recovery.

At some point Ritsu was notified by the Commonwealth Police of an disturbance at the Todd River and being close by, goes to investigate the disturbance. As she got closer, she'd quickly hid behind an rock upon seeing an massive figure which she confirmed it to the supervillain Eternita. As she began to quickly inform the Commonwealth Police on Eternita's location, she'd quickly looked up only to see an massive nomu standing over before it grabbed her to with Eternita and another individual looked over. Fearing for the worst, she'd used her armoured to protect her body as she released an M67 Grenade that exploded the hand from the nomu releasing her as it stood still. Quickly backing away she pulled out her Striker Rifle and aimed directly at Eternita. The individual next to him rose his hand, and began to explain himself that he's an member of the League of Villains who formed the Australian branch of the organization. She'd scoffed, now believing Australia much like Japan is now being threatened by the League also. However before she could retaliate her back was felt upon which her leg was grabbed and flung from the scene, hitting a nearby fence.

Ritsu looked up just in time to evade an foot hitting her head as she entered unarmed combat, showcasing proficient martial arts against the unknown attacker and knocking them their knees and using her knee to slam against their chin, knocking them out. Getting a better look, it was an male before an voice calls out and she turned to face them, as well with Eternita and the unnamed man next to her. The figure that called out named himself as Baleful affiliated with the Meta Liberation Army located here in Australia following the ideology of Destro and his descendent, Re-Destro. She'd recognized the name and group, a old villain before her own time, surprised. Baleful calls out both the League and Ritsu for they contribute to the government restriction of quirk usage and the only way to rid that restriction is to show that heroes are unable to save civilian lives and allow civilians to use quirks for defense. Before she even questioned what Baleful meant, an brilliant beam of intense light erupted from the sky and struck Alice Springs, causing an explosion that caused an violent shockwave, knocking her and everyone down. Baleful smiled gleefully as the Meta Liberation War against heroes and villains has began, starting with the destruction of Alice Springs.

Not wasting time, Ritsu immediately began to retreat from the area and contacted the Commonwealth Police on the situation, getting away as Eternita and Baleful began to engage in combat, causing an shockwave as she was flown into the air but reposition herself mid-air and continued towards the main residential areas of the civilians. She was then picked up by a passing by Commonwealth Police officer transport as one of informed her on the situation. As it turns out, it was an full-scale attack by over one-hundred villains, twenty of them being suspected to been supercharged by the drug Trigger and causing high causalities on the officer and civilians. Horrified, the officer has informed on nearby pro heroes to aid as well to bring in an aerial supercarrier as an base of operations to combat against the villains.

Ritsu entered the main region of town to which were filled with decay, death and total destruction of the entire town itself, to which she'd then began to engage in combat against multiple villains that are on the Commonwealth Police most wanted list as she fought them inside the town itself, eventually defeating all of them while taking damage herself. Valued as the No. 9 hero, she'd then began to focus on evacuating civilians as soon nearby pro heroes arrived to assist along with the aerial supercarrier with dropships to perform evacuation areas. As she performed her duties however, an nearby civilian cried in terror as they seemed to be chased by an shadowed individual and before realizing pierced horror into her heart; the figure was an walking dead man that leapt at the crying out individual before being devoured alive by him. Then an VTOL aircraft appeared above them as the Commonwealth Police began to combat against undead civilians and cried out that the undead is his quirk, Draugr, the power to reanimate the dead as mindless creatures bend on killing the living. Due to the nature of the villain's quirk to which can spread by physical contact such as scratching and biting, the Commonwealty Police ordered all pro heroes to flee immediately to the dropships as they were going to discharge Operation: Lightfall almost equal to an atom bomb on Alice Springs to quickly destroy the undead.

However she realized she hasn't seen her friend and forced the deactivation of Lightfall through the Omega Key which was revealed to be embedded in her left eye socket before dashing into town towards where Tokisada was supposed to be, along the way having been forced to kill undead citizens of Alice Springs. Eventually she made it where one armoured Commonwealth Police officer was present along with Tokisada. Quickly dispatching the horde of undead to make an path, she called the two out to come here to leave to allow Lightfall to commence. The two followed her where an helicopter of an news company was present lending down rope for them. She forced both the officer and Tokisada on the rope and before she could, an villain grabbed her and flung her away from the rope. No choice, the helicopter flew high and began to fly away, which she heard Tokisada crying out to her before the voice became non-existent. Facing her attacker, it was non other then Eternita who decided to face her, along with the villain with her. Smiling, her left eye socket glowed an dimmed blue, causing the villain with Eternia as the man questioined what's she's smiling about before pointing to the sky. In a matter of seconds, an beam of light descends onto Alice Springs as both Eternia, the unnamed villain and Ritsu rushed at each other before being engulfed by the light.

After Lightfall completely destroyed Alice Springs, leaving only scattered remains of the dead and bodies, it was revealed no body was found that is identified towards Ritsu, or to Eternita and the unnamed villain with Eternia. Lightfall does not destroy bodies, as such she has been listed as missing in action by the Commonwealth Police.
