Ritsuko Chikanari

Ritsuko is a snobby rich girl from one of Japan's wealthiest families. Her father is the founder and CEO of Chikanari Heavy Industries, which is known for supplying Saikou Corp with many of the materials needed for their electronic products. It's an 'open secret' that she has absolutely no intention whatsoever of getting a proper education at Akademi, and is only attending the school in order to attain the prestigious title of being an Akademi graduate. She spends her days sunbathing at the school pool instead of studying. Her 'I don't care what anyone thinks' attitude has earned her a degree of respect from her peers, and a small number of girls are now beginning to act exactly like her, sunbathing at the pool alongside her. She is very demanding and does whatever she wants. If the Pool Sign is set up, she will ignore it and comment on how she can't understand why people would listen to the sign.

Ritsuko has extremely pale skin and fluffy, shoulder-length, layered dark blue hair with straight bangs and curly sideburns. She has red eyes and wears red nail polish. Her pale skin is a result of her genetics. She wears the default 1980s uniform (Brown long-sleeved sailor top (seifuku), dull red collar stripes, white mini scarf/necktie, light gray pleated skirt, white uwubaki shoes) with black tights and a large white bow on a white headband, which has a small red heart in the middle of the bow and red on the edges. While sunbathing at the pool, she wears a blue one-piece swimsuit, with white edges.

Ritsuko will feel bad if everyone makes fun of her because of her dark secret. If someone gives Ritsuko a flower, she would refuse to accept the flower, get very angry with the person who gave her a "cheap" flower, and demand that they give her a bouquet of Shenzhen Nongke Orchids. If someone slapped Ritsuko, she would stand there in shocked silence for a few moments, as if she couldn't believe that had actually just happened. Then, she would launch into a big "Karen-like" speech. If someone called Ritsuko poor, she would stare at the person with her mouth slightly agape for a few moments, then burst into uncontrollable laughter for a few minutes.

She cannot see another human being as an "equal" unless they come from a wealthy family. So, the other rich girls at school are the only girls that Ritsuko sees as worth talking to, though it doesn't mean she sees them as "friends." Her biggest secret is: She once fell for a scam and gave away most of her parents' money to a con artist.
