Ryla Ushita is the primary of antagonist of Season One, before maturing and joining The Cats in Season Two.

In 2012, Ryla worked as an entertainer at Club Molly in Ward 13. There she would seduce men with the promise of a make-out session before bringing them to a secluded alley out the back of the club. She would then kill them with her ukaku kagune before devouring their remains. This gained the attention of PGCI, thus sending Team X onto her trail.

Once PGCI was ended, she moved onto The Cats with Leni. At first Leni was mad at the approach. but after reconciling, she joined.

## History

Ryla was born to a poor family in Ward 24. There she was exposed to horrific events which probably led to her killings. When she grew to thirteen, her dad died of an overdose while her mum committed suicide shortly after. Extremely depressed, angry and scared, Ryla moved to the 13th Ward where she picked up work at Club Molly as a waitress. When she aged, she became an entertainer. Worried about being found out by doing food hunts in random places, she decided to kill by utilising her beauty and workplace.

## Appearance

Ryla has long, dirty blonde hair which is usually tied into certain plaits. She has dark blue eyes with pale skin. She uses some blush and black, winged eyeliner for her makeup.

Her usual outfit consists of a navy blouse, which semi covers a cream bikini top. She wears a black miniskirt as well as some healed sandals. On her neck, she wears a black choker.

## Personality

### Season One

Ryla is quiet on the outside, appearing silent and mysterious to attract men. Once she is threatened or a relationship is formed, she becomes quite scary. She laughs ecstatically at blood and gore, before screaming with joy at death. Extremely creepy, she often teases her enemies with jokes, taunts and laughs. Sometimes, she might obsess over a person if they have a taste she desires, to which she will stalk them.

### Season Two

After Slyden was taken down, she matures like most characters and seems to be more apologetic and softer. She feels remorse for binge-eating.

## Powers & Abilities

**Ukaku Kagune:** Terrifyingly powerful, Ryla's kagune is a mass of sharply crafted, pristine spikes that twitch behind her back uncontrollable. They were coloured a sleek, navy colour with sharp, white highlights. With her kagune, she had the ability to send troops of spiked shards down upon enemies. These shards could pierce enemy skin with ease, and with enough of them, even kakuja armour. At mid-range, she could slice enemies with her wings and if close enough, she cold perform a special move. Named **Death's Hug**, this move consisted of Ryla pulling a victim into the range of her wingspan before closing the spiked wings onto that person and squeezing strongly. This usually resulted in death almost instantly. Varying on her remaining stamina, Ryla had the ability to fly the height of a three-storey building, which she could use as an advantage to strike others from above.

**Ukaku Kakuja:** Once hurt or injured enough, Ryla might decide to initiate her kakuja. Only use as a last resort, this form is extremely powerful and most combatants who face against her while in this mode usually end up dead. The kakuja expands her wings greatly and form them into neon coloured, flexible spikes. She gains a kakuja mask resembling a butterfly's face. While in this form, she can fly up to the top of the atmosphere depending on stamina and can shoot her shards as normal. This time around though, the shards explode upon contact and form a blinding light to disorientate enemies.

## Trivia

* Originally her kakuja took the from of a disgusting bug, but the creators wanted to resemble her beauty more accurately and chose a butterfly instead.
* Her favourite song while working in the club was *Under The Influence* by *Chris Brown*.
