Ricca

Ricca is a seven-year-old girl with short black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. She wears a brown, raggedy dress that is ripped at the hem and a pair of plain brown sandals.

Ricca grew up in the slum area of the kingdom, Seadia, which was filled with poverty, starvation, and disease. She lived with her mother, who worked as a prostitute. Ricca never met her father, who abandoned them both when she was still a baby. When she was just four years old, her mother died of disease. Ricca was left completely alone. She soon learned that most of the adults and children in the slum live by stealing, lying, cheating, and killing.

She survived by finding scraps of food here and there or begging for leftovers. Many adults resorted to prostitution to afford food; some even kidnapped orphaned babies to sell them. Ricca didn't know any better until she reached her fifth year and began to realize that prostituting herself might earn her enough money to escape the slums.

Once Ricca decided to sell her body, she found many willing clients who were glad to take advantage of her youthful looks. However, they never cared how much pain they caused her or respected her boundaries. Eventually, Ricca became desensitized to pain and violence while still hating men with every fiber of her being.

While working as a prostitute, Ricca earned enough to occasionally buy herself treats like candy or small toys. But whenever she did so, she would hide them from everyone else out of fear someone might try to take them away from her. This resulted in her hoarding numerous cheap trinkets that held little value to anyone but her.

At some point during her childhood, Ricca heard stories about wealthy people living far away from the slums where she could supposedly find better opportunities. So, whenever someone offered her enough money, she used part of it to travel outside Seadia and peddle her body to strangers who never asked too many questions about where she came from or what she had done before. This allowed her to save more than usual while also allowing her to visit various parts of the kingdom, albeit mostly with shady individuals.

Aside from money and material goods, Ricca doesn't care much about anything else except cute things. She likes everything sweet, fluffy, and colorful. She can't help but feel drawn towards such items when she sees them. However, because riches were so scarce growing up in Seadia, Ricca never developed any taste for fine cuisine or expensive wines.

Ricca, because of what she was forced to do to survive, has a dislike of men and believe that all they want is to use her body. She really likes cute things and doesn’t avert her eyes from violence. And acts like any violence is just normal in the world.

Ricca also doesn’t know how to read or write and had seen plenty of adults in other parts of the kingdom reading and writing and wished to be able to do the same. Whenever she tried, it always ended up as ugly squiggles. So now, she wished for someone to teach her how to read and write
