Rita

**Eyes** | Blue

**Rita** is a young girl who specializes in ice magic. She's close friends with Rumi and is Saya's senior. Together with Pandora and Ashuri, she maintains the barrier that protects Rabi Rabi Island.

## Bio

### Appearance

Rita has long light blue hair worn loose with mostly straightened bangs and chest-length forelocks. She wears a blue ribbon on her head and a bow on each forelock. Her slanted, tired-looking eyes are blue.

She wears a pale blue swimsuit-like one piece with blue spaghetti straps and choker, matching her slip-on shoes. She also wears loose, pearl blue sleeves with blue detail and matching colored stockings.

### Personality

Rita is a caring and considerate, wise person. She is also noted for being a heavy-sleeper, once saying she slept for twelve hours straight.

## Abilities and Powers

Rita fights with ice magic, from assaulting her opponent with snowflakes to throwing knives molded from shards of ice.

Illusion Rita, being a soulless reproduction of the real Rita, simply emulates the latter's attacks. Unlike the real Rita, Illusion Rita's attacks are heavily telegraphed and slow-moving.

Sorceress of the Tundra Rita is much more violent and erratic, and moves quite faster on the field.

### Attacks (Normal)

* **Snowflake Explosion**: Rita throws five snowflakes in the air that explode into a barrage of bullets one by one.
* **Homing Ice**: Rita hops into the air and shoots a mass of blue bullets that home in on Erina.
* **Snowflake Assault**: Rita throws three rounds of snowflakes into the air at once. The first and third round home in on Erina, while the second round simply drops down to the ground.
* **Ice Kunai**: Rita jumps into the air and throws shards of ice down at the ground.
* **Hailstorm**: Rita runs to the center of the arena and fires two columns of blue energy downwards at either side of herself, then has them revolve around the arena.
* **Drop Kick**: Rita jumps into the air and does a quick diagonal kick at the ground.
* **Snow Volcano**: Rita makes the snow under Erina's feet "erupt" from the ground.
* **Triple Snow Volcano**: The same attack as **Snow Volcano**, except Rita does it three times in a row.
* **Ice Pellets**: Rita leaps across the arena, throwing small blue bullets into the air that land on the ground.
* **Blue Magic Circles**: Rita summons four magic circles that each fire bullets in five directions.
* **Folding Fan**: Rita flings a folding fan at Erina. The fan acts like a boomerang, as it quickly returns to Rita after she throws it.
* **Arctic Wasteland**: Rita's desperation move. Rita jumps into the air and creates a big blue ball of energy over her head. From the ball comes three rounds of bullets: the first two rounds home in on Erina, while the last one simply fires bullets is a set pattern that expands outward.

### Attacks (Illusion)

* **Illusion Kunai**: Illusion Rita jumps into the air and throws three kunai down at the ground.
* **Illusion Snow**: Illusion Rita does a short jump. At the apex of her jump, an eerie sound plays and three white bullets rise out of from random places on the ground.
* **Illusion Kunai Flurry**: Illusion Rita jumps into the air; at the apex of her jump, she throws a large amount of kunai in a random, circular fashion.
* **Illusion Rings**: Illusion Rita conjures a "ring" made of small green bullets, then "throws" it at Erina. She does this three times in a row.

* **Illusion Snow Trail**:
* **Illusion Snowflakes**:
* **Illusion Wasteland**:

### Attacks (Sorceress of the Tundra)

* **Tundra Volcano**: The same attack as **Snow Volcano**, except the "eruption" is much more violet.

## Trivia

* The author of the game has said that originally they could not think of why she would attack Erina, which is why they created the "bunny phenomenon".
* Her desire seems to be partially based on a shrine maiden.
