## Profile

*As Rita Kiyomoto:*

An aspiring young woman, a president of newspaper club of her school. She seems to inherited personality of her father when he was younger. She’s much more open, than her brother, therefore she’s more admired by most.

*As ???:*

Leader of the group. Mostly acts from the shadows, not wanting anyone to remember how she looks, with her father being a detective, but can work as a grifter, being a charming young lady. She can serve three roles - leader, pickpocket and grifter.

## Personality

Rita is a pleasant young lady, as her profile states, she’s very similar to her father, when he was young. Rita is a person, who easily makes friends and is generally charming and friendly. She’s very initiative, as she’s a leader of newspaper club of her school, which she also started herself.

Rita has heightened sense of justice, but it's messed-up. She doesn't find stealing good and doesn't think that being a thief is "cool", but seeing that rich people can get away with everything, she's ready to prove them wrong - but she's still afraid of getting caught, afraid that someone of her friends will get hurt and/or arrested because of her and fears disapproval of her father if he ever finds out of her "secret career"

## Backstory

There's not much to say without repeating myself, honestly. Rita was born in 2006, in family of Jin and Mayoi Kiyomot and had an older brother, named Yakumo. Since childhood, she was much more outgoing and friendly, than her brother and was adored by people around her, they said she got her parents' best traits.

She was a very observant curious child, traits of personality that she saved as a teen. To pursue that, she wanted to join debate club at her school, but soon understood that it's not for her - she simply wants to write down events, that going on around and spread them around - and with that a newspaper club was made with her becoming a leader - and Yakumo as co-leader.

After that, a breaking event happened - death of her mother, injustice of law system and Jin breaking down from all of that. When her mother Mayoi died, Rita suffered from major psychological damage, but didn’t know what exactly happened to her mother, besides the fact that she was killed.

Seeing that her mother’s killers got very low sentences, she saw that as injustice from rich people toward those, who can’t pay for everything in their lives. Since that, she got a new idea – thieves crew, which would steal from rich people, doesn’t matter if they got their money from honest or criminal ways. She proposed that idea to her club, being ready to laugh to off as a joke, but got sudden approval from them. Therefore, a crew was made. The crew consists of people, who serve roles - a leader, a pickpocket, a hacker, a driver, a grifter, a "muscle" and a demolition expert.

Obviously, she’s scared of her father discovering them, so she prefers not to show up in public on her “job” too much and if she does – to always use a disguise. She’s also scared of Yatagarasu possibly killing her and/or Yakumo.
