Teikko Rikara

Teikko Rikara (帝光りから, Rikara Teikko) is a member of the Rikara Clan of Jikain Village, and is, despite their clans being rivals, a close friend of Kyoko Oniburi. Although she is actually the third eldest child in her family, she acts like the youngest, being known as childish.

Appearance
Teikko is a young girl of rather average height and build, with fair skin and bright red eyes. She has long light pink hair that falls down to roughly her mid-back, which is usually messily tied into two long lace braids.

Teikko wears a brown vest with golden buttons over a white shirt, which has a collar with frilly golden ends. Alongside this, she wears a brown skirt matching her vest, white stockings and brown dress shoes. She also has two ribbons on each side of her head, keeping her hair tied properly.

Personality
Despite being 16, Teikko is still rather childish, and not just by her voice. Crying easily, as seen when she's scared by thunder striking during a storm, resulting in her tearing up, she's lived a much more sheltered life than her siblings, and so hasn't become as used to either the outdoors or interacting with strangers like they have. She instead prefers to stay inside and either play games, listen to music or read. Despite this, Teikko tries her best to get to know new people as soon as possible, speaking politely at all times and asking them questions about themselves. She is still shy to a degree however, and isn't as energetic as she is with people that she's known for a long time.

As best seen around either her siblings or Kyoko, Teikko enjoys receiving praise from others, even if it's just something like a small compliment, yet can become easily flustered by them at the same time. Some people, for example Kyoko, find Teikko adorable when she's flustered like this. She is also a lot more laid back and energetic with people she's known for some time, letting her true, more childish self out, while still trying to be as polite as possible to them.
