Ritsu

Ritsu presents herself as a dutiful maid, maintaining a composed and service-oriented manner while carrying out extremely violent assignments. She is attentive toward Inca and treats caring for her as part of her daily responsibilities.

Her loyalty ultimately belongs to the Evangelist's mission. Ritsu can regard corpses as resources without visible hesitation, reanimating fallen enemies and allies alike whenever doing so advances the White-Clad's objectives.

Her personal profile gives the maid motif an oddly sincere dimension. She enjoys housework and sewing, while her daily routine includes both ordinary chores and checking death reports. She respects the Evangelist and is notably afraid of Haumea.

Ritsu's signature ability is Necro Pyro. She manipulates the ashes of the dead and can reanimate corpses, including bodies that have remained buried since the Great Cataclysm. Her puppets remain useful in combat, with recently killed humans capable of wielding weapons.

She can command large numbers simultaneously and turn newly killed opponents into additional members of her force. This makes prolonged battles against her especially dangerous because every casualty can strengthen her side.

Ritsu can also combine corpses with an Infernal to create enormous artificial Giant Infernals. These composite creatures possess multiple cores and can be significantly more difficult to destroy than ordinary Infernals. Their strength can vary according to the bodies used in their construction.

Her ability operates at considerable range and on a large scale, making Ritsu less of a conventional duelist than a battlefield controller capable of overwhelming organized groups through numbers and attrition.

Ritsu appears as Inca's assigned guardian after the Fifth Pillar joins the White-Clad. She participates in the confrontation at Haijima Industries, where multiple factions converge around Nataku and his newly awakened Adolla Burst.

During the joint Company 2 and Company 8 investigation of the Nether, Ritsu becomes one of the operation's most dangerous enemies. She exploits the enormous number of bodies buried underground since the Great Cataclysm, producing an army of reanimated Infernals and directing the Knights of the Purple Smoke against the investigating squads.

Her forces inflict heavy casualties on Company 2, and she immediately incorporates fallen Fire Soldiers into her undead army. The resulting operation is designed not merely to repel the investigators but to use the underground battle as part of a larger plan to devastate Tokyo.

Inca Kasugatani is the Fifth Pillar Ritsu serves as guardian and maid. Looking after her is one of Ritsu's principal personal duties.

The Evangelist is the object of Ritsu's loyalty and the figure whose ultimate objective she wishes to fulfill.

Haumea is a fellow White-Clad operative whom Ritsu fears despite their shared allegiance.

Orochi serves under Ritsu among the Knights of the Purple Smoke during the Nether operation.

Dr. Giovanni cooperates with Ritsu during the White-Clad's underground operation against Companies 2 and 8.

Nataku Son becomes part of Ritsu's mission at Haijima when she uses her ability to create a Giant Infernal around the Sixth Pillar.
