However, it appears as if their family life was far from happy, with her aunt going so far as to telling Rika that she regrets adopting her.Īt some point, Rika visits one of V's galleries and becomes enchanted with one of his photographs, to the point where she begins going there every day, which V eventually notices. Rika was adopted by Yoosung's aunt and uncle after they couldn't conceive. However once the player reaches the secret endings, much of her past is shown. The other RFA members reportedly went in the chatroom much less after she 'died' and the messenger only becomes active again when the MC joins. Most of the members in the RFA are grateful towards Rika and viewed her incredibly favorably. Rika was the one to originally bring together the RFA and was the one to start the charity events for the RFA. However, just like where she lives, the facts about her death were also so secretive and easily triggered suspicions, such as nobody ever seeing the corpse, V being the only witness to her drowning and so on. When the player (MC) first joins RFA, the player is presented with the knowledge that Rika had passed away one and a half years ago due to suicide by drowning. Within the Casual and Deep Story routes, the player has limited information about Rika. 'Rika' is only a pseudonym, and her real name is never revealed.

She has also been seen wearing a formal suit with her hair placed in a high ponytail when hosting the RFA parties. On normal occasions, she is seen wearing a brown knee-length dress with a large cream colored bow just below her collar bone on her left side. She is shown to be smiling most of the time. She is 159 cm ( 62.59 inches) in height, weighing 46 kg ( 101.41 pounds) with a reasonably slender body. She has bright lime colored eyes and fair skin. She has long, wavy blonde hair that transitions to a lighter color. Rika is described as a beautiful young woman. Becoming more and more out of touch with reality, this delusion drives her to do extremely harmful things, even to the people she cares about. She falls deeply into the delusion that she's a savior, and has to rescue everyone from the pain and sins of this world. Rika is a caring, kind-natured woman, fighting severe mental illness which causes her to lose herself, doing things she never would've done when she had a clear mind.Īs time goes on, her mental condition worsens, only to be intensified by the death of her dog, which she blames herself for. She tries her best to hide this from all except V, the one she trusts most.

She struggles with depression, anxiety, paranoia, and (paranoia induced) delusions. Unknown to most, Rika is severely mentally ill. She is also capable of inviting many people to her parties, mainly due to her great influence on others. She is said to care deeply for others and wanted to help them achieve happiness, which is the sole reason for her creating the RFA.

On the outside, Rika is often described by the RFA members as someone who is bright, strong-willed, and charismatic person. V claims she committed suicide a year and half prior to the events of the game, although a body was never found and nobody witnessed her suicide. Rika is a sub-character in Mystic Messenger who founded the RFA and was V's girlfriend and fiancee.
