Personality: Rio will always stand up for the underdog, being that she is a self-proclaimed underdog herself. She is very defensive and cocky (but not so cocky that she has a big head). She will get in confrontations if she feels that you're being disrespectful or rude. Rio is very sociable, always walking up to the first new person she sees. She hides her feelings and emotions with her fists and harsh tongue.
Other Background Info: Being the daughter of a well-known boxing champ, Rio grew up traveling the world and living the life most people dream of. But her life was spun around, the day of her eighth birthday, when her mother died of heart attack. Rio's father grew depressed, quitting his job and saying goodbye to the life they knew. As time went on, money grew scarce, pressuring Rio to quit school and work for a living. Rio's father grew even more depressed, taking out his anger on her, when she was just ten years old. She found an outlet for her sorrow in Air Treks. Her great skill and determination in the sport got her recognized by a team in Japan, who guaranteed her a spot if she moved to Tokyo. After five years of abuse taken from her father, Rio got the courage to leave him in Korea and move to Japan. Rio now has a new life with AT's, living on her own and going back to school. She's determined to reach the top of the Trophaeum, trying to form her own team.
Appearance:
Duration of Ride: 5 years and 2 months
Air Trek Description: Rio's AT's are built for her comfort, with an extremely soft cushion where her feet should lay. The outer form of her AT's has three layers of different shades black. Her wheels are white in color and are made to go off-road. They are uniquely designed to be ridden on an icy surface.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Rio makes really strong leaps, jumping very high off the ground. Her specialty consists in combat with AT's. Her weakness consists in speed. Especially in rough, narrow, or slanted surfaces. She can go fast but not as fast as most of her avid competitors.
Gifted/Talented Abilities/Roads: Rio is very resourceful when it comes to combat with her AT's. She “inherited” her father's fighting abilities and is a very skilled acrobat. As of right now, She doesn't know of any road that she might take on. But the Sonia Road is the most appealing to her.
