Background

Rita first met Bai Yan at an orphanage in France, before either of them worked for Schicksal. She later became closely associated with Ragna and Durandal, and witnessed Durandal’s lasting resentment after Bai Yan deliberately received 59 points in every practical-combat assessment to enter logistics rather than become a Valkyrie. 1 2

At Schicksal Headquarters, Rita recognized Bai Yan’s exceptional logistics performance and had him assigned as her intelligence-support assistant, with Ragna vouching for the appointment. Her demanding work habits regularly kept him working until four in the morning. 2

Rita and Ragna prepared Bai Yan’s female undercover identity for his St. Freya Academy mission. Rita selected his dress over three weeks, handled his makeup and hair, and helped construct the near-perfect disguise of “Bai Yan,” presented in Schicksal records as Bai Yan’s long-lost sister. 3 4

Appearance

Rita is a poised Valkyrie commonly seen in ornate maid attire rather than a conventional uniform. Her appearance is marked by careful grooming, a composed expression, and blood-red pupils. 24 34

• Wields a large combat scythe. 34 38
• Wears luxurious maid outfits; one black lace uniform was specially made for her. 24 90
• Uses the Moonlit Soul Armor in battle. 104
• Maintains an immaculate presentation even during field operations, including carrying a makeup case to retouch Bai Yan’s disguise. 28

Personality

Rita is an extreme perfectionist who seeks to eliminate imperfections around her, viewing this tendency as a pursuit of beauty. Her meticulousness extends from operational planning to grooming Bai Yan’s hair and disguise. 1 3 53

She is controlled, elegant, and highly professional under normal circumstances. Even when faced with unfamiliar threats or political uncertainty, she favors measured questions, careful analysis, and duty-bound restraint. 41 204 234

Her composure falters when Bai Yan or Durandal is endangered. She fought an overwhelmingly stronger opponent to reach Bai Yan after losing contact with him, and she refused to abandon Durandal despite being injured and unable to establish communication with her. 34 38
