This is due to her family, mostly her mother who is a fashion designer and runs a small clothes store. She normally acts cute and innocent sometimes purposely overlooking obvious things just for the sake of it. In reality she is really smart and earns many of the top scores on her class but never talks about it. She is rather social and due to her good standing with the teachers and her mother's clothing brands, she has an easy time making new friends. In reality this cute thing is just a very deep rooted act she has put up, a mask... or some might say a wall. She used to be cold and distant to others, loving books for the most part but never wearing anything flashy or being the center of attention. This all changed when her sister died when robbers tried to steal from her mother's store which is located right under her home. If people mention Maki, Rika would immediately block it in an aggressive manner, assuring others she is recovering at the hospital when it was clear on the news papers, it happened only a few months back and it was the talk of the school at the time. [b]Biography:[/b] Rika didn't used to have as many friends as she does now, only half a year ago her hair was dark blue, and her fashion sense was much more modest choosing to ignore her mother's cute clothes. While she held high grades on her school she had low grades on any physical activity, her only real friend was a girl named Sango an overly energetic girl who didn't even when to the same school as she did, she would often go and help around on her mother's store along with Rika on their free days. Her father not there for them Rika had taken care of Maki, the sun of the family, a very cute 10 year old girl and her only sister, unlike Rika, Maki loves fashion more than anything was always smiling and playing around, had many friends and was open to mostly anything. Keeping her grades up only thanks to Rika's intervention she loved Rika and Rika loved her little sister. One day, on a night where her mother had left for awhile, she heard some noise coming from down stairs, looking through the window of her room and much to her surprise a thief was breaking into their store, before she even grabbed the phone he was already passed the front door as their lock wasn't very secure, immediately Rika grabbed the phone and called the police, silently moving to her sister's room to lock the door... the problem was that her sister wasn't there... she was down stairs getting a snack from a small fridge near the kitchen. The next thing Rika heard was a bang noise and rushing down stairs she saw with terror her sister face down on a small puddle of her own blood. Rika's eyes teared up and she looked at the robber's face the man was frightened by what he had done, he was saying how she hit him from behind, how it was an accident, right there the police came in and took custody of the man, Maki dying a day later on the hospital. This has a great impact on Rika who was speechless for a few days, unable to express how sorry she was for allowing this to happen to her sister, unable to look at her mother on the face even to this day. As if to make up for the loss within herself and the loss her family suffered she started to imitate Maki, not caring what her mother would say about it, even going as far as to deny Maki's death all together, quickly shutting down the subject whenever she was asked about it on school. it's now been two months since then, either through pity or through genuine care, Rika has made many more friends with her new found style and attitude than she ever had when she was herself... at least now she seems happy, if only on the outside.
