Rikka Takarada

Rikka Takarada is one of the main characters in SSSS.Gridman and a member of the Gridman Alliance. She has long glossy black hair, some of which goes over her shoulders and curls. It leaves her ears mostly visible, some hair tucked behind them, and she has bangs that go just above her eyes. Her eyes are mostly blue, but they have tints of pink in the bottom. She has a white collared shirt with a red bow. Over it, she has a long white sweater that buttons below the bow. On its top left side, it has a slightly hexagonal badge. She has two pockets, which both have two black stripes on the top. Her sleeves are baggy and the ends also have two black stripes on them. The sweater's buttons are yellow, and the top three are buttoned, while the bottom two are left undone in order to show her black skirt underneath. Her skirt is much shorter than the length of the sweater,exposing a large amount of her butt-cheeks. On her right wrist, she wears an orange scrunchy, which she used to tie up her hair in one episode. Her shoes are brown and she wears dark pink medium length socks. When she went to the field trip in the mountains, she wore a white bikini with blue stripes, a black bikini bottom, and she tied her hair up using the orange scrunchy she normally wears on her arm. Rikka is a friendly person, helping Yuta with his amnesia. She cares deeply for her friends. She is an empathetic person, as evidenced by her sadness at the deaths of Tonkawa and the others, despite not being friends with them. Rikka also offers assistance to total strangers, asking Anti if he wanted an umbrella and some food when he was out in the rain. She can be a little snarky at times, like with Sho's proposed name of the "Gridman Alliance." She often maintains a somewhat aloof demeanor when dealing with Yuta and Sho. Despite this, she has a more carefree side, as she skips school on a whim, without bothering to contact the school or even her friends. As a Repli-Compoid designed to be Akane's closest friend, Rikka initially opposed the idea of turning against her, even after it came to light that Akane being the one behind Mega-Virus attacks. In fact, she had a fallout with Sho over the best way to deal both Akane and Alexis Kerib shortly after her said best friend openly threatened to send Mecha Ghoulghilas to ruin the Culture Festival so much that the fearful Yuta worried that Rikka intended to desert Gridman Alliance at that very point. Fortunately, that proved not to be the case since she had come into terms with her nature and rejoin the group in a bid to redeem Akane, something she eventually succeeded in the end.
