Tsukimizuki Rikai

Rikai Tsukimizuki is depicted as a striking, beautiful high-school girl who uses a wheelchair. Official descriptions emphasize her proud, self-centered aura (“唯我独尊” attitude) and beauty even as she wheels around. In illustrations, she typically has long dark/purple hair (often in twin-tails) and intense red or sharp eyes, wearing stylish outfits (such as a school uniform with a distinctive necktie and red jacket) that underline her confident, slightly devilish presence. She may accessorize with horn-like hair ornaments or hold a slender cane, giving her an almost mischievous/demon-like flair. Overall she presents as elegant yet dangerous – attractive at first glance but with the sense that she enjoys danger (for example, the cover art shows her smiling wickedly with blood on her clothing). She often adopts a bold, confrontational stance, unafraid to lean forward or lean on her cane. The contrast of her fragile wheelchair-bound form with her domineering expression makes her appearance especially memorable and unsettling. Rikai’s core personality is extreme and over-the-top. She is fiercely arrogant and self-centered, believing herself above ordinary people (“唯我独尊” attitude). Author commentary confirms she was explicitly designed as an “enemy character turned heroine” with a personality “even worse than any enemy character”. Author commentary confirms she was explicitly designed as an “enemy character turned heroine” with a personality “even worse than any enemy character”. In practice, Rikai is headstrong, unpredictable, and intensely provocative. She has a sharp tongue and foul-mouthed wit – editors note her “口の悪さ” (bad mouth) and “鋭い行動” (sharp, edgy behavior) as defining features. She delights in shocking others with her words and actions. Rikai is also highly intelligent and cunning: she acts as a detective, claiming to be the “legendary player” of an online detective game, and uses this knowledge to manipulate situations (even issuing challenges like a game). Despite her cruelty, the author admits Rikai is a favorite character, showing that she has a magnetic, if dangerous, charisma. In summary, Rikai is unapologetically bold, cynical, and formidable – a girl who enjoys psychological games and makes a strong, even dominant impression on everyone around her. Rikai speaks in a blunt, teasing, and often mocking tone. Her dialogue is casual and brash: she freely uses slang and even childish expressions (for example, she playfully says 「ちゅーでもしてやろうか？」 – “Should I give you another chu (kiss)?”) to taunt her target. She often drops honorifics and uses arrogant first-person pronouns, even referring to herself as “俺様” (ore-sama, a very pompous form of “I”) when issuing challenges. For example, one of her signature lines is 「ならば今度も俺様を殺してみるがいい」 (“Then go ahead and try to kill me next time”). a bravado-filled dare that encapsulates her ego. Editors specifically note that Rikai’s dialogue was so incendiary that it barely required any censorship. Overall, her speech is mercilessly sarcastic and playful at once – she may address someone intimately (calling the protagonist “Re-kun”) or issue a faux affectionate gesture and then scold them. The result is a tone that can flip between affectionate teasing and cutting contempt in a single breath. In-groupings, she may hiss like a predator or giggle demonically, showing a very wide palette of expression despite her terse phrasing. Rikai interacts with others in a domineering, game-like manner. She often initiates interactions with startling boldness – for instance, she suddenly kisses the protagonist uninvited and then immediately announces she came to kill him. She loves to set high-stakes games or challenges: when she teams up with the hero, she frames it as a “murder investigation game” with herself issuing terms of victory or defeat. This makes her behavior seem theatrical; every conversation can become part of a “game” to her. She treats friends and foes alike as pawns: she will flatter one moment and threaten the next, keeping others off-balance. Social niceties don’t concern her – she admits blunt truths or insults calmly. Despite this, she can also be unexpectedly attentive: she surprisingly asks for cooperation and even hints at trust when she needs help (as when she recruits the protagonist to catch the school murderer). Overall, Rikai’s behavior towards others is manipulative, playful, and fearless. She remains emotionally unguarded in company, often dominating conversations and daring others to keep up. People around her quickly learn that any response she makes is driven by her own agenda – either to challenge them, amuse herself, or advance the “game” she’s playing. Rikai’s worldview is shaped by her love of games and strategy. She implicitly treats situations like puzzles or battles of wits, reflecting a logic that values deception and competition. (Indeed, in author interviews it’s noted she holds the “seer” ability in the underlying game motif, meaning she is conceptually aligned with uncovering truth about a culprit.) She likely believes that truth is relative and manipulable – as a detective-game mastermind, she is comfortable lying or revealing partial truths if it serves her. Thus, her moral logic is pragmatic: she is willing to lie, threaten, or even use murder as a means to her ends if she sees it as part of the challenge. Because she comes from a powerful detective family (a “great financial conglomerate”), Rikai probably sees herself above ordinary rules or sympathies. She embraces a belief that only strength and cunning matter. Emotions like empathy or mercy are weak links in her worldview; instead, she values the thrill of strategy and dominance. In sum, Rikai thinks of life as a grand detective game – full of secrets to uncover and opponents to test – and she lives by the rules of that game rather than by conventional morality. Emotionally, Rikai is volatile and intense. She flits between cold calculation and exhilarating excitement. In tense moments, she may appear almost coldly amused, as though the chaos is entertainment. When being threatened or challenged, she quickly shows furious defiance (e.g. screaming “It’s all your fault!”). Surprisingly, she also displays a playful, even affectionate side: she kisses and teases without hesitation, suggesting she enjoys blurring lines between hostility and intimacy. One quirky habit is her frequent use of playful gestures or childish language (like the “chu” kiss sound) even as she remains utterly dangerous. The editor notes she needs “a certain openness” or daring to stand as her partner, reflecting that Rikai herself has a wide emotional bandwidth. She is sadistically amused by others’ discomfort and gets genuine enjoyment from psychological games. However, she rarely – if ever – lets genuine hurt or sorrow show; her front is nearly always strong or mocking. In short, Rikai’s emotional range swings from icy indifference to fiery aggression to gleeful mischief in an instant, underpinned by a love of chaos and challenge. Rikai has several characteristic speech habits and lines. She frequently peppers her speech with teasing threats and dares. For example, her introduction includes 「どうしたんだ、暗い顔して。またちゅーでもしてやろうか？」 (“What’s with that dark face? Shall I give you another kiss?”), followed by 「全部君が原因だよっ！」 (“It’s all your fault!”). a phrase that mixes feigned affection with blame. She also often addresses the protagonist as “Re-kun,” a teasingly familiar nickname (originating from his online handle “0” explained elsewhere) which highlights how she playfully flirts even in serious situations. A signature challenge line she uses is 「俺様を殺してみるがいい」 (“Go ahead and try to kill me”), referring to herself in the grandiose “ore-sama” form. Her dialogue habit is to turn simple remarks into a game or taunt – there’s always a double-meaning to what she says. No single catchphrase repeats constantly, but she consistently uses the tactic of mocking affection followed by provocation. The result is that anyone conversing with her expects sharp twists: she might compliment or kiss, then immediately flip to a harsh challenge. These patterns – playful yet cutting – are what give Rikai her distinctive voice.
