Name: Rita Mordio
Age: 15
Canon Timeline: After first visit to Zaude
History:
Rita's first appearance in the game is in her own little hut in Aspio as Yuri, Estelle, Karol, and Repede break into her home, mistaking her as the blastia core thief. She then appears from a pile of books and casts fire ball on them all. At first she is really hostile towards the group, but helps them find the blastia core thief in order to clear her name. Rita leads them to the Shaikos Ruins and find the thief dressed in Aspio robes. The thief turns on this giant golem and runs off.
After defeating the golem, the group runs after the thief and catches him. They get the information about the boss of the whole sh'meal and reveals that he is in Nor Harbor and Rita graciously knocks him unconcious. After clearing her name, Rita joins the group on her own reasons.
They then head to Ehmead Hill and find a destroyed barrier blastia. Rita then butts into the investigation to see what happened to the precious blastia only to cause a commotion making the group travel around the path rather than going through it. While walking through Ehmead Hill the run into these strange flowers that cause dizziness and paralysis. She then pushes Karol into one and the flower releases it's toxins on the poor boy. After that they made it to Nor Harbor.
Yuri and the others quickly find out about that magistrate has a blastia that controls the weather and set off to break into his mansion to investigate. They run into ol' Raven outside the mansion who uses them as a distraction to get into the mansion himself. Pissed off, Rita uses fireball on the guards and got into the mansion as well, although through the basement. Eventually they find the room with the blastia in it and Rita looks over it. Angered by the treatment of the blastia, Rita begins to destroy the room to create a ruckus for the knights to check on. Although a person in armor riding a dragon crashes in and destroys the blastia.
The magistrate escapes and the they chase after him onto his ship and finds another guy behind the core thievery, Barbos, but they escape and the ship explodes after they fight Zagi. They then get picked up by Flynn and arrive in Torim Harbor. They then head over to Keiv Moc and see Raven again and he joins the party. Rita shows immediate dislike towards the old man and will not hesitate to hit him. they reach an aer krene and there they meet Duke who seemed to fix the out of control aer. Rita asks a bunch of questions on how he managed to do that, but Duke kinda blows her off and walks off.
Later, they find out about Estelle and how she is the Child of the Full Moon and that she might cause the Adaphagos and Raven kidnaps her. Rita is really worried about Estelle and they set off to rescue her. Although once they find her at Baction, Alexei uses her power to strike down the group and escapes. Schwann comes and is revealed to be Raven. When they were forced to fight him, Rita shouted out how she hated him, but when he saved the groups lives after the battle, she almost broke down when she tried explaining what happened to LeBlanc. When she realized he was okay on the Heracles, she punched him into a wall.
They then rescue Estelle after having to fight her, much to Rita's dismay, and head over to Zaude to stop Alexei. After defeating him, he destroys the blastia that sealed the Adaphagos away and is crushed by it. Yuri then falls off Zaude after being stabbed by Sodia, but is saved by Duke.
Afterward, everyone goes off doing their own thing and Rita researches the aer and how to control it.
Personality/Strengths/Weaknesses:
Rita is an eccentric and short tempered girl. She will not hesitate to smack, punch or fireball someone if they were to do something stupid or lecherous. Good examples of her punching bags are Karol and Raven, two of her team mates. Usually when she hits Karol is when Karol acts up, or when he gave something a stupid name, and just because he was there when she is frightened or startled. Raven on the other hand is punched rather than smacked and on occasion, Rita casts a spell on him to shut him up, usually a fireball. This usually happens when Raven says anything even remotely perverted, which is practically all the time...
She's sarcastic and rude at first as she often insults her peers or berate them rather vulgarly. Half of it is part of who she is, but the other half is a front she puts up so people won't think that she may be weak or emotional. She treats everyone crudely at first, but when she gets to know them she's more friendly, but she'll still be rude, just a little less though. Rita makes a lot of sarcastic comments to her friends or anything involving the current situation. Although, when her friends makes comments like that, or even tease her, Rita will respond with a very insulting comeback or even violence.
Aside from being so mean, Rita can be really nice and caring too, especially towards Estelle, but she won't show it. When she becomes very close to someone, Rita feels that she must protect them at all costs. She was even prepared to severely hurt, or even kill a team mate, that betrayed them, all for Estelle. The reason why Rita and Estelle became so close was because Estelle treated Rita with kindness unlike the people Rita grew up with or her team mates. Estelle would compliment her and made sure she was okay like a sister. In return Rita protects Estelle and would also make sure the other girl did not strain or hurt herself. At times, Rita would actually compliment someone, most of the time it was Estelle. She also shows affection to the rest of her comrades, although it may not be as gentle. Most of the time she yells at them and tells them not to be so stupid and she throws a friendly punch here and there.
Surprisingly though, Rita has a fear of ghosts or anything remotely creepy. For some reason she can handle going into ancient ruins, but she can't go into haunted ships and not freak out. She shivers, she trembles, she shakes, and she tries to keep her mind off of it. When she's in this state she's very easy to startle. Rita still tries to act tough, but it's very difficult for her since she's jumping and screaming ever-now-and-then. She's also uncomfortable with heights, but she can keep her cool more easily than she could in a creepy area.
Rita also has an obsession with blastia, a type of technology in her world. She can spend hours, even days on a subject about the blastia and not emerge from her home unless she made a discovery. She also has a one track mind when it comes to her research, and when someone calls for her when she's in a middle of something she won't hear them.
Abilities, etc.:
In battle, Rita wields belts, whips or scrolls and a book. Her book can cause minor damages as she uses it to bludgeon her enemies, but she can use it in many other ways as well. For example she can shoot out a maximum of fifteen pages that cute up her enemies, or even summon a giant cat claw to scratch foes. She is a very skilled mage and is capable of casting many spells ranging from simple fireballs to a rain of meteors. Aside from that, she is skilled in the field of blastia research and can fix various types of blastia if needed. (Of course a lot of her powerful spells may have to be useless, right?)
