Rie Nishida

Dr. Rie Nishida is the amoral chief researcher of the NswF who is extremely obsessed with researching the capabilities of the Witchblade and cared little for any laws and restrictions that would be placed on her experiments. Rie seems to care about nothing except her job, and has risked her life to try to obtain more data for certain projects. She is extremely fascinated by the Witchblade, so much that she obsesses over finding out more about it.
