She is an adjutant of the Immortal Blades. Diligent in her duties to be the ultimate maid, Rita will learn anything that might better fulfill her master's wishes from clearing enemies on the battlefield to playing video games.
Appearance[]
Rita has fair skin and reddish pink eyes. She has short, honey blonde hair covering her left eye and a beauty mark underneath her right eye. She usually wears her maid uniform and claims to have cut her hair short in order make things easier when performing housework. When going out, she is shown to be quite stylish with various kinds of clothing.
Personality[]
Rita is a mysterious woman whose past remains mostly unknown to others. Usually, she has a calm demeanor and very polite speech, even when mocking someone. She can clean and decorate everything in a perfect and graceful manner as shown when she tied Tesla with such a perfect knot that Himeko hesitated to untie it and even sprayed perfume on the red-haired scientist. She appears to enjoy teasing Dr. Tesla very much, causing her to become afraid of Rita, even going as far as to call her "pervert woman". In battle and while carrying out missions, she is a cold, calculating, and ruthless killing machine who doesn’t hesitate to claim lives when a compromise can’t be reached. Furthermore, Rita is usually kind, warm and caring of others. She would do whatever she can in order to make others feel as comfortable and satisfied as possible, such as inquiring about their dietary preferences or treating them to rich and luxurious meals.
Story[]
Chapter II[]
Rita is ordered by Otto to inspect the battleship Selene, which has been captured by St. Freya High Valkyries, and take part in the annual Valkyrie Examination as an auditor, so she contacts Theresa to announce her visit. What's left unsaid in their call is the secret mission assigned by Otto to check how Kiana Kaslana's been doing. Once Rita is introduced to the students taking part in the exam, she asks if she could spar with one of them. As request is granted, she deliberately chooses Kiana and draws attention to her surname - something Theresa dismisses importance of in an attempt to hide Kiana's identity. The two compete with each other in killing as many enemies as possible in the given time period. Rita wins but commends Kiana's performance all the same.
During the last round of the exam, a device that can stimulate enemies goes out of control and puts Kiana in danger by spawning sim Ganesha instead of a lesser enemy. Rita's the only person not surprised by the ordeal, hinting that she was involved in the device's malfuction. She observes Kiana throught the fight and keeps an eye on her after the exam ends. Kiana's confrontation with the Herrscher of the Void in the former's dreams doesn't go unnoticed and Rita's expecting Otto's plans regarding Kiana to progress much faster from now on.
Chapter 8: Battle of Schicksal (pre v2.6 update)[]
Rita makes her first appearance in Chapter 8.
When Otto was at the Helheim laboratory to prepare the release of reawakened Sirin in K-423's body, he sent Rita to assist Fu Hua who had just arrived at headquarters. Fu Hua expressed surprise at how Rita was not with Durandal like she always is. Rita mentioned as much as she wanted to be by Durandal's side, she had no choice because it was an order from Otto.
Himeko and Tesla encountered Rita when they were at the 3rd Terminal to perform combat missions. Tesla's red mecha was instantly destroyed by her. Fu Hua soon arrived and told them to surrender. When Rita was just about to deal a fatal blow, Fu Hua stopped her. Rita then agreed to temporarily detain them in Schicksal jail.
Chapter 9[]
Fu Hua had overheard from Otto on how Theresa and the others were fighting against Sirin in K-423's body and tried to leave, but Rita stopped her and told her not to interfere with Otto's plans. Fu Hua realized Rita was stalling the battle and Otto's real intentions and both parties were about to start fighting seriously.
Durandal stopped their fight before it escalated and then told Rita to let Fu Hua go as she understood the concept of fighting for the ones she wanted to protect. Rita then asked Durandal why she let Fu Hua go because she could die if she went there, and Durandal said that it was Fu Hua's own choice.
