Riri, a magical entity central to the narrative, is charged with sparking romantic bonds to counter dwindling birth rates in their realm. Manifesting as a petite yellow creature adorned with a violet wizard hat and cloak, they brandish a wand tipped with a shimmering star. Riri shape-shifts into human avatars: female-presenting Riri Fushigi, sporting chin-length hair gathered into petite buns, and male-presenting Rio Fushigi, with short locks swept into casual bangs. Both forms boast golden-blonde hair, cyan-blue eyes flecked with violet, and attire echoing the nonbinary flag’s hues. As a matchmaker, Riri orchestrates scenarios through magic—confiscating distractions (video games, chocolates), conjuring illusions to veil their work, and manipulating timelines or weather to steer relationships. Prohibited from deploying mind control or personal enchantments, they risk disciplinary measures for transgressions like erasing a stalker’s memories. Initially rigid in enforcing romantic clichés, Riri’s encounters with the protagonist kindle unexpected emotional ties, leading to rule-breaking that triggers their temporary reassignment. They later exploit loopholes to return, now eligible as a romantic contender. Hyperactive and effusively chatty, Riri exudes a whimsical charm laced with awkward enthusiasm. Their obsession with love fuels cinematic analyses and orchestrated dates to dissect human courtship. Gradually, a fiercely protective streak surfaces toward the protagonist, merging zealous dedication with heartfelt concern—intense yet nonviolent. This arc traces their evolution from protocol-bound enforcer to someone prioritizing authentic bonds, defying orders to stay close despite career risks. Hailing from a mystical dimension sustained by children’s innocence, Riri’s mission is rooted in preserving this energy source. While their pre-narrative past remains veiled, quirks emerge: bafflement over boba tea’s appeal and a comically misguided “cousin” persona during a faux date, blurring familial boundaries.
