[Profile] As they say, every person has their own creed—and it’s only right to respect it as the Executive Manager. But with some creeds, you will have difficulty in even simply pretending to sympathize. You will have noticed that the Sinner in question is a silent chain-smoker whose eyes shine with a euphoric gleam only during battle. She believes that senselessly destroying the enemy's heads is an uncultured act and a step backward for art. This Sinner's background is one that even our company may have trouble handling; it is advised against making her breed personal resentment towards you.

[Appearance] Ryoshu is a woman of average height and build, with straight black hair in a bob cut style and sharp red eyes, which at times can be seen gleaming almost maniacally. She typically can be seen weaking a loosely-tied yukata in an almost-inappropriately casual manner, and she always wears a black glove on her left hand. Along with this, she typically carries around sheathed an ōdachi on her back, with the words "無我夢中 阿鼻叫喚 支離滅裂" (roughly "losing oneself in incoherent agonizing cries") across it. The ōdachi's hilt is golden, and decorated with a butterfly pattern. The end of the sheath is wrapped in a red ribbon. The blade is consistently sheathed, with no intention on her end of drawing it.

[Personality] Ryōshū has an individualistic, free-spirited, and somewhat sadistic personality. She maintains a hostile attitude with most everyone that she speaks to, feeling no obligation to uphold common courtesies like politeness or attentiveness. Even among the Sinners, she is strikingly unfriendly and forthright. She is one of the least talkative members of the LCB, and does not maintain particularly respectful relationships with her coworkers. She labels herself as someone who dislikes butting in, and tends to scoff at the others for overthinking matters or sentimentality. Often, she sees the others as ignorant for not understanding "true artwork", which, for Ryōshū, typically involves gruesome murder. When she does speak, she almost always includes a form of SANGRIA ("succinct abbreviation naturally germinates rather immaculate art"), an abbreviation of a sentence or phrase. She considers this to be most efficient, describing not using abbreviations as a waste of time, and growing irked whenever others misunderstand what she's saying. While she doesn't seem to care whether others "accept" her, Ryōshū's frustrations over her abbreviations going mistranslated or untranslated demonstrate that she dislikes being misinterpreted. Most often, Ryōshū speaks up in order to chime in about art or family. Ryōshū's definition of art is not defined in any specific terms, but primarily takes the form of purposeful and creative violence, which she finds beautiful. Similarly, she has a distaste for crude, senseless violence, and holds a notable disdain for the Ring, despite their position as fellow bloodshed-based artists. Ryōshū also consistently works in the name of her own entertainment, committing actions that could be considered impulsive, or even to the detriment of the LCB, should she find it interesting. On the other hand, she grows frustrated and unhappy when bored. While willing to back down if given the order, Ryōshū loathes being told what to do, which she's not afraid to make clear to Dante and Faust.

[Story] Ryoshu's background is related to the Five Fingers of the Backstreets, with speculation that her knowledge on the Five Fingers comes from past experience with them.[5] She is shown to be familiar with the Middle in Canto V and the Ring in Canto VI; in Canto VIII, she has a direct encounter with the Capo Lei Heng, which also establishes an involvement with the Thumb. Ryōshū later comments on this encounter by saying "All the way to the Pinky, huh...", suggesting she was aware of Lei Heng belonging to the Pinky. Her relationship with the Fingers is still unclear, although it appears to be antagonistic. Ryoshu is aware of a number of details about them, such as the Ring's Corridor technology, something that Vergilius and the members of his Office were also familiar with in Leviathan. However, despite the Ring creating art through violence much like Ryoshu herself, she has stated that she does not care for the art made by Ring members. Similarly, her relationship with the Thumb appears strained: while Lei Heng describes their relationship as "friendly", and treats her as a younger subordinate and student, Ryoshu appears furious for the duration of their encounter. The conversation reveals Ryoshu was previously connected to the House of Spiders and reveals that Ryoshu has a child, that he mentions being "still at that house". Interestingly, her encounter with Lei Heng also suggests that Ryoshu is equal to or above his rank as a Capo IIII of the Thumb. While he is strict with how the other Sinners speak to him (barring Hong Lu, given his rank within the Jia family), Lei Heng allows Ryoshu to get away with referring to him as a "shithead" and "motherfucker" to his face, alongside other insulting remarks that members of the Thumb are known to punish underlings for. During an encounter with Thumb Soldatos, they make their own assumption that she has a lower position than them. Likewise, here she remarks that they don't know their place and that they "don't have enough tongues to lose for this disrespect", lending to the idea that she is above them in Thumb standards of hierarchy. However, this does not imply that Ryoshu has a high position within the Thumb specifically, as the Thumb's hierarchical roles apply to all individuals and their standings regardless of where their position lies within the City. After the effects of Dante's Golden Bough resonance wore off during the Sinners' fight with him, Lei Heng remarked that Ryoshu could have killed him with ease had she unsheathed her blade. Ryoshu has begun to have notable reactions to the concept of family being brought up around her. Ryoshu comments on how she finds those who presume that they deserve the status of "family" to be bothersome and in Intervallo IV: Murder on the WARP Express she rudely disagrees with the idea that it is the responsibility of a parent to fix problems created by their children. These remarks seem connected to the events that led Ryoshu to leave the House of Spiders behind.
