Rika is a very quiet and soft-spoken person when you first meet her, but once you get to know her, she can be the weirdest person ever. she laughs at things that aren't even funny. well, she's at that age when everything is amusing. she's outgoing and open-minded; never afraid to try new things. she loves outdoor activities whether its a walk in the park or going camping. she's hardworking and committed, which means nothing will be left undone. she's the most caring in the group and always looks out for the others. she will never backstab them and she always puts them before herself. she radiates good vibes among her friends. even if they're mean to her or like to , she doesn't get mad, instead she joins in on making fun of herself
 
rika's positive personality often makes people wonder "how is she so sweet? what kind of dark secrets could she be hiding?" well, even though it seems that rika is a complete angel, she has her bad side too. she gives people almost endless chances but once you cross the line, that's it. she absolutely cannot tolerate people who make fun of her family and friends. she'll be passive aggressive towards you and make you feel extremely uncomfortable and guilty. even if it seems as if she has forgiven you, she will always remember the type of person you are. the reason behind this is that she is very emotional and takes everything to heart. she also gets stressed and pressured easily, which is what most people don't know.
 
background
 
rika was born and raised in rangio. her father was an american but her mother was a korean. the reason why her parents didn't name her 'MIn___' like her brother was because they wanted to be original and not name her like any other korean name. rika is more of a japanese name but oh well, why not? her family wasn't really well-to-do to begin with. they only had enough for basic needs. her parents died in a car accident when rika was 14 her older brother was 26. from then on, he was the one who looked after and cared for her. 
 
when rika joined high school, she was like any other girl. she was lonely and no one liked her. she prayed for a miracle and wished that someone would like her, be her friend, or have a crush on her. apparently, god heard her prayers and granted it. 
 
she made friends and one of her seniors asked her out. at that time, she was flattered, but more students got to know of her and was practically dubbed as the belle of the school. more and more guys started hitting on her and even stalking her. she got really annoyed. first few times was kind of flattering but it just became pure creepy. actually, rika is confused which way she swings to. to her, only some guys can be really attractive. but, at the same time, girls are attractive too. she concluded that she'll be biual, because... best of both worlds, right?
 
now, she tries her best to ruin her image to get back her 'old life', being unknown and just a shadow. 
 
putting that aside, rika aspires to be a dancer when she grows up, which is why she joined the dance club. she will make sure to work hard so that her brother and her late parents would be proud of her.

life as a student. rika's grades aren't that bad. she usually is pretty consistent and gets at least B's or a's. she usually hangs out with the same group in school and doesn't like to roam the school halls alone, to avoid being ambushed by her stalkers. she often dozes off in class without the teacher knowing and studies the night before any tests.
