History

Rita initially operates under Otto Apocalypse as the vice-captain of Schicksal's Immortal Blades. During the Changkong City operation, she reports Dr. Maki's recovery and the missing Gem of Stillness, then organizes the Immortal Blades' withdrawal on Otto's order. When new intelligence places the gem at ME Company, she calmly prepares her team to enter despite detecting dangerous Honkai-energy readings. 26 27

After failing to capture Xing during an earlier mission, Rita views unexpectedly finding him in New Zealand as an opportunity to redeem herself. She covertly photographs Xing with Raven and reports to Otto, who orders her to shadow Xing, identify his organization, and locate his companions before making arrests. She later approaches Xing and Raven under the false identity “Therese Apocalypse,” prompting a tense confrontation with Raven. 34 35

During the conflict with King OOO and the Greeed, Rita initially conceals her identity as “Viser Slora.” She ultimately joins Durandal and the others in battle. When King OOO possesses Durandal, Rita is devastated but regains her composure, insisting on retreating to form a viable rescue plan rather than acting on grief. 37 42 43

Rita later joins St. Freya Academy as a teacher while continuing to observe and pursue Xing. Following Xing's evolved familiar-like ability, a mark establishes a connection that compels her to obey his commands within certain limits. She eventually becomes Luming's personal maid, maintaining the household and accompanying Luming on operations, including the rescue of kidnapped Valkyries from a secret Schicksal base. 51 106 152 294 295

Appearance

Rita is a gray-haired woman with wine-red eyes, a polished smile, and an elegant manner that can conceal a palpable threat. Xing compares her presence to a rose: outwardly refined, but dangerous beneath the surface. 35

• Usually presents herself in formal maid attire and performs an elaborate curtsy when introducing herself. 35 294
• Wields a scythe in combat. 42 43
• Uses the dress-like Azure Moon Knight armor, including its enhanced Moon Soul configuration. 77 294
• Is noted for moving quietly enough to photograph targets without alerting them. 34

Personality

Rita is disciplined, poised, and highly capable of maintaining control under pressure. She follows Otto's instructions precisely, organizes the Immortal Blades without panic, and can set aside her immediate emotions to pursue the safest strategic option for Durandal's rescue. 26 27 43

Behind her professional manner, Rita is calculating and mischievous. She uses false identities, reads subtle details such as scent and demeanor, and recognizes when Xing is impersonating Theresa even when Durandal does not. 35 104

She is deeply devoted to Durandal and reacts intensely to threats against her. Durandal's possession by King OOO leaves Rita in tears, though her concern never overrides her judgment. 42 43

Rita also has an intrusive fascination with Theresa, Xing, and Luming. She collects candid photographs, repeatedly tries to put Theresa and Xing in dresses, and treats teasing them as a personal pastime. Her behavior can cross severe boundaries; on vacation, she attempts to drug Theresa and Xing for unauthorized “study” before Judas restrains her. 55 77 148

Abilities & Skills

Valkyrie Combat

As an S-Rank Valkyrie and Immortal Blades vice-captain, Rita is an elite human combatant who can operate among far stronger Honkai-enhanced opponents. 26 106

• Leads the Immortal Blades during active operations and emergency deployments. 26 27
• Fights with a scythe and is experienced in close-quarters combat. 42 43
• Engages Yae Sakura while supported by her Phantom Spirit without being quickly defeated. 78
• Instructs students in infiltration principles and practical combat at St. Freya Academy. 53

Azure Moon Knight

Rita's Fourth-Generation God-Slaying Armor gives her ice-based battlefield control.

• Azure Moon Knight manifests as dress-like armor and releases crescent particles that lower the surrounding temperature. 77
• The armor can freeze opponents in place, as demonstrated against Pardofelis. 77
• Its Moon Soul mode can summon the humanoid Phantom Spirit Silver Moon. 78 294
• The armor is networked; Jizo-Mitama can hack the system, causing Silver Moon to disappear and the armor to deactivate. 78

Intelligence and Infiltration

Rita is an accomplished observer and covert operative.

• Secretly photographs and tracks targets without alerting them. 34 35
• Identifies discrepancies in Xing's impersonation of Theresa through scent, temperament, and personal familiarity. 104
• Installs tracking devices and maintains intelligence channels with Otto. 153
• Uses sleeping gas and stealth entry techniques during covert operations. 148

Familiar Bond

After Xing's evolved ability marks her, Rita develops a vague connection to him and is compelled to obey his orders. 106

• Follows direct commands and addresses Xing as her master. 106 152
• Retains personal agency and cannot be forced into actions that fundamentally cross her own boundaries. 152
• The bond does not erase her calculating nature; Xing remains wary of her ability to exploit loopholes in his wording. 106 148

Relationships

• Xing Kaslana / Luming — Initially a failed mission target, later her master through the familiar bond. Rita becomes strongly attached to Xing and eventually serves Luming as a personal maid. 34 106 294
• Theresa Apocalypse — A former superior whom Rita teases and photographs obsessively. Theresa distrusts Rita's intentions around Xing and repeatedly warns her to keep her distance. 50 148
• Yae Sakura — A hostile rival during the Pardofelis incident. Rita battles Sakura and Silver Moon is neutralized when Sakura hacks Azure Moon Knight through Jizo-Mitama. 78
• Natasha Siola — A tense rival for Luming's attention. Rita threatens Natasha after she provokes her with compromising photographs of Luming. 300
• Pardofelis — Rita attempts to capture her after identifying her as the thief who took Rita's camera. 77

Trivia

• Rita's lost camera is returned when it flies into her head shortly after she sincerely prays for its recovery. 77
• She is stated to be 19 years old during the Golden Ocean Park vacation. 148
• Rita's housekeeping ability is considered exceptional enough to substantially reduce the workload at Luming's courtyard. 294
