Ryoka to Inori

Ryoka Miketa (Japanese: 三家田 涼佳 Miketa Ryouka) is figure skater who competed against Inori in the Meikoh Cup. She is one of Inori's rivals. She's in the 3rd grade.

Appearance[]

Ryoka styles her chestnut-colored hair into two "cat ears" and often displays cat-like demeanors. In certain exaggerated scenes, she is drawn with cat paws and diamond-shaped, cat-like eyes.

Personality[]

Since a troubling experience in kindergarten, where teachers would unquestioningly take the word of tattling classmates and reprimand her, Ryoka has developed a resentment for adults and children who seek their favor. In her rebellious phase, she becomes highly self-focused, viewing figure skating as an one-man sport. Rather than considering the feelings of others, she prefers to prove them wrong by improving her own skills.
