Rishia Ivyred, a scion of a fallen northern Melromarc noble house, endured familial ruin orchestrated by a scheming neighboring lord. Kidnapped as collateral, she was later freed by the Bow Hero Itsuki Kawasumi, pledging service to his party in gratitude. Yet her magical potential remained ignored, relegating her to menial roles until false accusations of destroying a cherished bracelet saw her exiled. Despair drove her to a watery suicide attempt, thwarted by Naofumi Iwatani and Filo, who drew her into their ranks.
Timid and prone to flustered "fuee" exclamations, Rishia clung to steadfast loyalty toward Itsuki despite his callousness. Hindered by misguided class upgrades favoring close combat to mirror his style, her latent magic lay dormant until Naofumi’s intervention. Training under Eclair Seaetto in the Hengen Muso discipline awakened her ki manipulation, forging pivotal confrontations—like outwitting antagonist Kyo by dismantling his external power sources—where her tactical ingenuity shone.
A Faubrey academy alumnus, Rishia abandoned scholarly promise under financial duress. Multilingual expertise aided in decrypting ancient texts about the Waves and Spirit Tortoise. Post-level reset via Naofumi’s methods, her stats surged alongside mastery of Hengen Muso and the Seven Star Projectile, an artifact designating her Projectile Hero. This dual proficiency melded ranged precision with close-quarters agility.
Venturing with Naofumi to another world, Rishia leveraged Lucor Fruit tactics to disable foes in decisive clashes. Emerging as a tempered voice curbing his impulsiveness, she balanced pragmatism—advocating ruthless interrogations when needed—with unwavering loyalty to her new allies, though vestigial affection for Itsuki lingered. Spin-offs like *The Reprise of the Spear Hero* briefly place her alongside Itsuki post-revolution before familial disgrace recalls her home.
Later legends enshrine her as a world-saving enigma, rumors weaving tales of marriage to the Bow Hero or alliances with Shield and Spear Heroes. Once dismissed as frail, her ascent epitomizes resilience—a metamorphosis fueled by intellect, perseverance, and eclectic combat mastery.
