Quick-witted, work-oriented, proactive, and feisty. Raika behaves like a young woman who has everything to prove, and will barrel through any obstacle in her way with unnecessary force to show that she has the power, knowledge, and skill to back herself up. A spitting image of a prodigy, where perhaps the only thing fragile about her is her ego.[break][break]

From a young age, Raika has been fond of making herself a busy-body. Where other teenagers may have indulged in leisure time with friends or settled down to play the latest video game on the block, she, herself, found herself pouring over notes she'd already studied a thousand times or going above and beyond what was asked of her in class in the hope of earning that coveted extra credit – not that she had any need of it. Idle hands make her antsy, after all, and downtime makes her somber. Logically, the only way to combat the ever-waiting feeling of hollowness is to throw herself back into her work, whatever it may be. It made her a desirable asset at any job she'd previously taken on prior to joining NODENS; right up until, of course, she found herself trying to tell her superiors how to do their jobs. It's some wonder how she ended up at NODENS at all, what with her general tenancy to stray from such “mindless things” as video games. Fortunately for us all, fate had other plans in store.[break][break]

A workaholic, then. Between running herself ragged, Unit 13's esteemed leader does make time to be friendly with those around her, but the fact that she spends more time with her nose in a study book than out with the “girlfriends” on a weekend makes itself fairly clear early on. She's horribly awkward when it comes to one-on-one conversation – too blunt to be charming, but perhaps loveable in some roundabout way for lacking tact or charm at all – and is the sort of person to laugh at a joke five minutes after it has been told and forgotten. Generally, though, she makes strides to be amicable, and even if there is quite a bit of laughter at the expense of her lack of socializing knowledge, most find it difficult to dislike her... most of the time. While she's generally friendly and doesn't go out of her way to make enemies, her temper is one that is quickly lit and quickly goes out of control. An insult is all it takes to have her biting and barking at whoever hurled it in the first place, and she's not so willing to forgive and forget when one has hurt her pride. Truthfully, it doesn't take much effort. Despite her lengthy number of achievements, she still harbors quite a number of deep-rooted insecurities. Rather than face them, then, when they're pointed out by others, she shakes her fist and yells until she can't hear the voice in her head agreeing.[break][break]

A lover of law and a seeker of justice. Had she not been plucked off the streets by NODENS, she would have been well on her way to becoming a lawyer, aiming to help those wrongfully accused and aiding the meek who are in dire need of the help. Dragons are frightening, after all, but they're nothing compared to trading tongues with an opponent in the court room.
