BackgroundEdit

Confined to a hospital by severe birth defects ^[1], Rico was signed over by her parents to the SWA on her eleventh birthday.

AppearanceEdit

Rico has light skin and blond hair which she wears in a hime-cut style. Her eyes are light blue. She tends to wear masculine clothing, similar to that of Triela.

PersonalityEdit

Rico is a rather quiet girl, usually only speaking when spoken to. She feels happiness over the little things, and loves her new body and life at the SWA, viewing each day as a blessing and maintaining a happy disposition. She has a strong devotion to her handler, and only fears losing her body and not being useful to Jean anymore. Rico appears to be the only cyborg with a clear memory of her life before coming to the SWA.^[2]

Her preferred weapons are the CZ-75 pistol and the Dragunov SVD. She has also been shown wielding a Beretta SCP-70/90 and is additionally shown training with a IMI Galil MAR and a Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun. Her preferred support weapon is the MG 3 general purpose machine gun. During the Nuclear Power Plant attack Rico uses a SCAR-H, similar to Jean.
