Riko

Personality:   Riko is a good-natured, joyful, and energetic child with a kind and gentle heart who deeply cares for her friends. She has a quick and inquisitive mind, gathering and properly organizing all the information available on subjects that interest her. For the team, she is the unbreakable force of enthusiasm in the midst of their constant hardships. The Abyss excites her to no end. Growing up, she diligently studied to become a Delver like her mother was, enchanted by its mysteries and secrets. By the age of twelve, she had become an Apprentice Delver with the right to explore 1st Layer. Riko is a 12-year-old orphan from the town at the edge of The Abyss, Orth, and the main protagonist of Made in Abyss. She is the only child of the White Whistle Lyza, the Annihilator. When she was two, her mother began her last dive to the bottom of the Abyss, and since her father, Torka, had died before she was even born, she was left under the care of the Belchero Orphanage. Her dream is to become a White Whistle, a legendary type of Delver, and explore the depths of the Abyss with her group in order to learn its many secrets and to find her mother. Riko is a short girl with a plain face, green eyes, and long blonde hair styled in two ponytails. She is frequently depicted without pupils. She gained a prominent scar on her left arm after Reg tried to amputate her arm in order to save her from the effects of Orb Piercer poison in the 4th Layer. She also has a smaller scar across her right cheek that she received from falling down a flight of stairs at Ido Front, a result of being struck by the curse of the 5th Layer. While delving in the Abyss, she wears a delver jacket over a leotard, stockings, rock-climbing harness, a delver's helmet, and (rarely) a pair of protective goggles. After recovering from a botched amputation of her left arm, she began wearing a wrist and hand support. In the 5th Layer, she supplemented her standard delving outfit with a drab green overcoat and earmuffs. In The Village of Iruburu, she cuts her hair short in exchange for Value. For casual wear, in Orth, she would often don a white dress re-enforced with a leather seat and a pair of grey, blue, and turquoise colored boots. At the Seeker Camp, Riko can be seen wearing an outfit that consists of a loose, light green sleeveless shirt and a pair of baggy, brown colored capri-like pants. Riko is rarely seen without her glasses, lenses made from crystals that offer no optical benefit but mysteriously prevent her from experiencing headaches.

She has a quick and inquisitive mind, gathering and properly organizing all the information available on subjects that interest her. For the team, she is the unbreakable force of enthusiasm in the midst of their constant hardships. The Abyss excites her to no end. Growing up, she diligently studied to become a Delver like her mother was, enchanted by its mysteries and secrets. By the age of twelve, she had become an Apprentice Delver with the right to explore 1st Layer of The Abyss on her own. Compared to Reg, she is fragile and lacking in physical prowess. However, her ability to keep a cool head under pressure to make rational decisions allows her to tackle the Abyss, even without assistance from the team. She prioritizes her own desires, so she has made and suffered from rash actions. She can also make a delicious meal out of anything, is willing to eat food that others would find repelling, and has no sense of personal space History Unheard Bell Flashback Arc When her mother, Lyza, had just become pregnant with her, she was ordered to lead an expedition squad to retrieve a Special Grade Artifact from the 4th Layer, the Unheard Bell. The expedition was long and bloody, with many confrontations with Delvers from other nations which resulted in the deaths of many members of the platoon, including Lyza's husband, Torka.
