Ringo Suho

Ringo Suho (守護林檎, Suho Ringo) is the former captain of the 2nd Division of the Vatican, as well as the former commander of the 10 Commandments. Having abandoned her command of both positions, she works with the rest of FLCL, based in Ayazawa Town as they all promised to protect Kidako Kiyomizu under her mother's oath.

## Appearance

Ringo has long red hair, amber eyes, and a slender yet extremely curvy figure, possessing large bouncy breasts, a thin waist, along with round voluminous buttocks. This curvaceous figure was present even from a young age.

When in school, she wore her typical school uniform. Usually out of school, she'd like to wear big oversized glasses - leaving it in a low ponytail. Sporting long skirts and thick sweaters.

Though when she isn't wearing casual clothing, she changes into her other clothing. She was occasionally had lightly tanned skin due to spending most of her time outdoors in the sun and commonly wore a leather black and red flame-designed bikini top that reveal a generous amount of her breasts with black rubber-leather booty-shorts that expose a considerable amount of her buttcheeks, and a white studded belt.

Below, Ringo wore baby pink thigh-high socks and white mid-calf zip-up boots designed with red flames emerging from her grey soles. She also wore black open-knuckled half-gloves complete with round wrist pieces studded with spherical yellow studs. Around her neck, Ringo wore a tall white and pink patterned scarf with thin red stripes in which she was shown to keep a magazine for her gun. In lieu of signature headwear, Ringo wore a white cracked skull hair accessory on the left side of her head as well two yellow chopsticks that kept her hair up, the latter of which also doubled as weapons.

## Personality

Ringo is shown to be very mature and quite knowledgeable. Ringo is a kind and caring person but can be aggressive sometimes, particularly when dealing with Light, very overprotective of the man. Ringo is a person who can handle most situations very well. She is also known be very good at fighting with her rifle and confident in her abilities.

Unlike Yuuki, Ringo prefers to think things through before charging head-first into a battle, and is easily the most rational member of the group along with Yumi  and, initially, Crona . Ringo is also shown to be a very protective person and cares deeply for her teammates and friends. Despite calling Light a man of unlimited stupidity, she found herself falling in love with him.

Initially, Ringo doesn't think much of Kidako , largely due to his lack of self-confidence. She couldn't understand Light's & his mothers blind faith in her as she believes her not to be the fighting type due to her inability to cope under pressure. However, she later warms up to her and eventually forms a sisterly bond with her.

She was horrified by Amy's (unintentionally) tactless and insensitive words about Light, namely that Kida can't rely on someone who isn't even around anymore. Even though Ringo acknowledged that no amount of crying would bring Light back, she still believed that they couldn't just forget about him like he was nothing. This incident caused Ringo to hold a grudge against Amy and develop a deep resentment towards her.

Ringo is known as the big sister figure within the group. Always willing to help her other friends, bending over backward to assure they're okay.

## Relationships

### Light Kiyomizu

When Ringo and Light first met, Light took no time in hitting on her. Saying she was very cute when his mother introduced the two when they were small. Both growing up near one another, their clashing personalities often led to bickering and banter. Light is very tolerant of Ringo's beatings and scoldings, letting most of them fly and even apologizing to her for behavior soon after.

It's a belligerent relationship due to both of the characters unyielding personalities, yet it's also full of trust, care and partnership. It is shown that both Ringo and Light strongly rely on each other. Light mostly replying on Ringo to watch over his sister while he was alway. Ringo states she was holding onto the thought that no matter what, Light would always think something out and pull through, and Light entrusts his safety in the battle against the Ten Commandments to Ringo. Ringo also appears to be the only person to whom Light can reveal his true self to as she acts as his confidant, when Light reveals his intentions behind starting the revolution and expands upon his normally hidden fear and doubt.

Eventually, Ringo confessed her feelings for Light on his death bed with a kiss, which Light was more than happy to accept as he kisses her again, telling her he will return that feeling 10 times over later causing Ringo to giggle, not knowing what he meant. Unfortunately, Light was unable to fulfill that promise as he was killed. Ringo was greatly affected by Light's death although Ringo tried to stay strong for everyone in the brigade.

When Ciel asked if she was alright she stated that she was fine although later in the shower Ringo cries stating that Light was an idiot because even though he said he would return her love tenfold he only left a big hole in her heart.

### Crona Sohma

At times, it seems that Crona serves as little more than a source of annoyance and teasing for Ringo. In the past, however, Ringo saved her when she simultaneously caught the attention of a commandment, Alexander. In some ways, their relationship could be seen as similar to her relationship with Kida, only in the later stages. Nonetheless, they are on friendly terms.

### Gin Shiba

Gin seems tolerable of Ringo's behavior. Ringo normally calls him "bro". While their relationship is typically amiable, Gin views Ringo as little more than the occasional help provided by FLCL, but it does not mean she's not grateful or appreciative. He's one of the few people who has earned Ringo's respect. To a certain extent, anyway.
