## Personality

Ryoko is a rude and aloof person, who seems annoyed 24/7. They don't care about hurting other people's feelings. Usually, they'd spent the most of their time in games alone, unless someone tries to talk to them. Even so, they most likely will be rude to that person.

However, most of their personality is just a mask, they're very anxious on the inside, but try to hide it the best they can. Ryoko themself claims that showing emotions is a weakness.

They hate being referred as Ult. Violinist, they'll hide their talent if they have an option to do so.

## Backstory

(Nvm I changed my mind - beware, it's bad)

Ryoko is from a family of violinists, forced into that occupation without any option to resist by their strict parents. As a child, they were forced to play violin until their fingers would bleed, even when that happened, their parents forced them to keep going. They were making good progress, however, they were allowed to leave their house only to give public performances. To 'explain' that, their family made excuses - deemed them as a sickly child or that they have mental disability.

They were both physically and emotionally abused into thinking that they have to show no emotions as it a sign of weakness, basically attempting to make then a robot-like, without any emotions or personal opinion.

During a break between their performances, they managed to escape, but fearing that their parents will track them down, they ran off to another town, changed their name and their appearance.

## Relationships

Love interest. Ryoko helped Sono orienteer around building where the Death Game was. Sono was mad at Ryoko after they said they don't care about anyone dying in a minigame, but forgave them eventually.
