Ritsu, guardian of the Fifth Pillar Inca Kasugatani for the Knights of the Purple Smoke, balances calm professionalism against her charge’s volatile energy. Her teal hair drapes over obscured eyes, complementing a cream-colored maid uniform styled after White-Clad aesthetics—cross motifs and intricate stitchwork adorn her tights and heels. Though outwardly composed, her loyalty to Inca borders on possessive, rejecting even allies like Charon who encroach on her role. This devotion coexists with cunning autonomy; she independently crafts strategies to further the Evangelist’s agenda, merging ruthless pragmatism with tactical leadership. Her signature Necro Pyro ability weaponizes death itself, sculpting ash from corpses into explosive Infernals that convert slain foes into puppets. By merging living and undead subjects, she engineers towering Giant Infernals—multi-cored behemoths mirroring their human base’s strength. While these hybrids can entrap adversaries with retained abilities, Ritsu relishes the gamble, playfully weaving victims into her macabre creations. During the Haijima Industries incursion, she hijacked a guard via fire bug before assembling an ash giant from Kurono’s victims, only retreating when Haumea disrupted Nataku Son’s capture. In the Nether, she resurrected Great Disaster corpses and fallen Fire Soldiers, planting demolition-ready Infernals beneath Tokyo—a plot foiled by Maki Oze’s flames and Takigi Oze’s subterranean expertise. Later, she aided Haumea in baiting Leonard Burns through Raffles III, then marshaled relentless waves of fused Infernals during the Battle of Amaterasu, adapting to losses by forging fresh giants mid-combat. Surviving the Cataclysm’s reversal via Shinra’s time manipulation, she reemerged undeterred. Ritsu reduces all life to expendable resources, repurposing corpses with cold efficiency yet indulging in dark whimsy during the process. Outside battle, she savors nuts, stitches fabrics, and thrills to metal music’s dissonance, harboring an affinity for bats. Though unflinching in service to the Evangelist, Haumea’s unpredictability unsettles her, and unexpected setbacks briefly fracture her strategic poise—a vulnerability she swiftly buries beneath renewed resolve.
