Rita Mordio

A brunette-haired girl who wears goggles. She is a researcher that studies Blastia, and hates to be interrupted during her research. She is eccentric and has a poor social disposition. In battle she wields scrolls, whips and a book and is capable of using various magical attacks.

The Famed Mage of Aspio
Despite Rita's young age, she is actually one of, if not the most intellegent mage in Apsio, the city of scholars. Despite this, she is treated as a weirdo. When Yuri first asked anyone of the famed mage Mordio, they were in awe as to "Why he wanted to see that weirdo." Later, she was proven to only be weird with her obsession with blastia. It is explained later in the game that they were all she had, being an orphan at a young age, and having a lack of friends any friends. To add to the weirdness, there's also something in her dresser than even Estelle is shocked about...

Relationships with Other Characters
Despite her cold-hearted attitude, Rita has made friends with most of her group, specifically with Estellise Sidos Heurassein, who saw past Rita's harsh exterior. Though Rita won't show it, she very much cares for Estelle, and won't let anything hurt her.

Because of the problem between her and Yuri Lowell, they don't have as much interactions. Like with everyone else, Yuri is normally sarcastic with Rita ("Aww, I've always wanted to hold your hand Rita"). His appology wasn't very convincing either.

Rita is also the few people that Repede has taken an interest in. At first, Rita is afraid of him, and has even admited she would never eat any gels that were in his mouth. She refers to him as just "the dog" or "the pooch" in the first half, but she eventually begins to compliment him, and use his name in the third part of the game.

Her relationship with Karol Capel is more humorous than anything else. Karol is actually nothing more than Rita's punching bag. Whenever Karol acts up, she's quick to give him a smack in the head to set him straight. She has also smacked him when he almost squelled, gave something a stupid name, and just because he was there when she was freaked about ghosts.

Though Karol is the punching bag, Raven is pretty close behind. Whenever he says anything even remotely perverted, she deals a quick punch, more powerful than to Karol, to knock him over, or send him flying. The two seem to love to hate each other, and are always sarcastic. When Rita was forced to fight him, she shouted out how she hated him, but when he saved the groups lives, she almost broke down when she tried explaining what happened to LeBlanc. When she realized he was okay, she punched him into a wall.

Rita's relationship between her and Judith is the biggest change. At first, without even knowing it, Judith was just a "Dragon Freak" that deystroyed her precious blastia. When she finally discovered the secret, she told Yuri that she was going to beat eher to a pulp if she saw her again. When the group met up with Judith though, Rita had a quick change of heart, and decided to help Judith on her quest to stop Hermes blastia, when she realized the danger. Eventually, the two met in Aurnion before the final battle.
