Description
Theoto Rikka, called Theo, is a 16-year-old male of the Jade ethnic group, sporting golden hair and vivid green eyes. Standing at 165 cm, he first appears in desert camouflage combat fatigues from Republic surplus, later switching to a steel-hued panzer jacket uniform upon joining the Federacy. After the Mirage Spire Operation, he loses his left hand, masking the injury with a hook provided by comrade Ishmael.

Theo’s Jade heritage traces back to ancestors who migrated to the Republic of San Magnolia two centuries earlier, only to face systemic oppression that confined them to internment camps. There, they were drilled as child soldiers, trained to pilot lethal juggernauts against the Legion’s onslaught.

As a platoon leader in the Spearhead Squadron under the Eighty-Sixth Strike Package, Theo commands with a mix of pragmatism and loyalty. He bears the Personal Name “Laughing Fox,” inherited from a fallen leader he admired, and channels artistic talent into crafting unique squadron emblems, his sketchbook a constant companion during lulls in combat.

Renowned for a guileless, cutting honesty, Theo’s sarcasm and bluntness strip conversations of pretense, occasionally bordering on tactlessness. Yet this transparency cements his authenticity among peers.

Tasked with guiding his unit through relentless missions, he prioritizes clear communication and his team’s survival, adapting unflinchingly to adversity—including the loss of his hand. His resilience solidifies his role as both anchor and tactician within the squadron’s ranks.
