Personality: Quiet and reserved she prefers to listen than to talk. She will nod occasionally and communicate nonverbally. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Ridaro is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

Since her father passed away years ago, her mother had doted on her, and she came to think her herself as special and better than other people in town.
