History

Um, I'm always really earnest... And always neat... Ummm... and also, I like puffer fish with sashimi!

—  Rita

Rita was a young enthusiast of games who developed her very own creation called Ritapon!, a game designed for competitive play with others. Eager to showcase her invention, Rita encountered the hero during a chance meeting on Na-Nal Island. She promptly challenged the hero to a match, but was defeated. As a consequence, she agreed to join the hero's journey by boarding the Headquarters Ship as a form of payment.

Despite being the creator of Ritapon!, Rita was not particularly skilled at playing the game. Her misfortunes extended beyond her defeat against the hero, as she often found herself on the losing end when facing Noah in matches, leading to great frustration. Moreover, in one instance, Rita resorted to cheating during a game against Rakgi in order to evade defeat, though she later came to regret her actions.

Always enthusiastic about challenging the hero to games, Rita formed strong bonds with both Noah and Rene, sharing their admiration for their commander. Before the final assault on El-Eal Fortress, Rita and her friends Noah and Rene presented the hero with an amulet they crafted together.

Following the conclusion of the Island Liberation War, Rita set her sights on creating a new game, driven by the desire to earn more potch. Seeking test players for her yet-to-be-named game, she sought the assistance of the Quest Guild. Kyril, a member of the guild, agreed to playtest it with her in Razril, resulting in Rita's defeat. In turn, she pledged to aid Kyril in his journey.
