HISTORY & EXTRA INFO

Rika was born to a simple home and a mother and father that weren't all that extraordinary. His father worked for a rather large company while her mother was a stay at home mom. From a young age Rika was given a sense of control, as her mother was often prone to getting sick. So the young girl was often the one to take care of her mother while her father worked long hours at his job. Rika didn't blame her father as he was their only source of income and he did everything he could to help pay for her mother's medicine.

It just meant that she never got to see the man. So it was natural for the girl to go shopping on her own, it was because of this that she would meet someone that would change her life. It was an accident that she had met Tomatsu running into him (quite literally) and falling over while her purchases crashed to the ground around her. Of course, a bit of a puff up happened but in the end the other child ended up helping her. 

It was from this that despite taking care of her mother, the young Rika started to see the other child. Finding out he was a year older than her she didn't mind, and was just glad to have someone to talk to. It was him that she told about her mother and her father. She knew it wasn't right to complain about such things, but it was just easy to talk to him. So, with the boy by her side she grew up happy.

Tomatsu was her answer for any problem she ever had, the other able to clear her mind easily. Of course, there was always the cases of the two fighting but things always smoothed over quickly as the two were just to close. Things continued happily until the young Rika turned ten. She was quickly called home told that her mother had a terrible stroke found by the neighbors. Later that night, her mother passed away in the ICU.

No one really knew what was going on and Rika found herself withdrawn as she had no bond with her father as she did with her mother. So she found herself outcast from the rest of her family when the time came for her mother's funeral curling up instead on a small bench as others seemed to speak in a language she didn't understand. The only one who seemed to pull her out of this state was the young Tomatsu.

He appeared and made Rika happy; however seeing how possessive he was her father was not so excited about his appearance. Her father quickly pulled her aside and and spoke to her about the boy. Rika was quick to defend the other as he had been there for her while her father had not. The man agitated started for forcibly drag her away, as the small girl futily struggled to get away.

From this everything took a turn for the worse. Tomatsu, worried or perhaps just possessive of her, stepped in quickly to try to get her free. Rika's father and Tomatsu quickly started fighting and finally Tomatsu, angry, stalked off to leave. Rika, wanting to follow, quickly went after him but was stopped once again by her father. The girl bit her father and quickly hurried out after the boy in a blind hurry.

Calling his name was the last thing she did before the young girl walked out in the street as a car not paying attention slammed on its horn. The bright lights flashed before agonizing pain went through her body and Rika blacked out. Things were like a daze and she woke on and off to flashing lights and white walls, and something white. Tomatsu? She could never stay conscious long enough however and would fall back under again.

When she finally awoke she saw her father in a chair but her green hues searched for someone that was not there. Her eyes saddened knowing that he had to have been there. Her father seemed to notice her however, and quickly rushed to her side worried sick. "Oh Rika, thank god. We hoped you'd wake up again." his words vibrated off the walls. A small frown covered her features. "Dad... where is Tomatsu." she asked.

This seemed to almost upset the man before he quickly calmed down. "He's gone dear... he isn't ever coming back.." he said. Rika almost felt her heart break. "NO! " she cried trying to sit up but quickly was pushed down by her father. "Let me go! I need him!" her words vibrated off the walls as tears sprung to her eyes. "He left you sweetheart... he said that he didn't need anyone that could get hurt so easily."

THUD

Her heart broke and thumped in her chest at that. Did... did he really say that? Rika had always known that she wasn't the strongest of people but... she had never done anything to him... Rika didn't know what to do without him and a piece of her felt broken that he didn't want her anymore. This had a very negative effect on the young girl. 

After her recovery she quickly found her peace-loving, compassionate side eroded to a depression and anger. Without meaning to she found that soon enough normal things didn't support her anymore. With her father returning to work that made it even more of a change. Putting up with it for a few years Rika quickly started to get into fights and despite being beat up never backed down.

This eventually led to the girl being mixed up in the rebel group Rapture. The thrill of being a part of them and being able to do things she hadn't before was overwhelming to her senses after being left alone for a long time. She quickly felt herself change into a cold, distant person that craved power. It was around this time that her name finally appeared as sovereignty.

It was perfect for her new mindset, complete and utter power. That was what she wanted, power that no one could ever defeat. With rapture she quickly trained and became more powerful and her leniency moved her quickly through the ranks of Rapture. After spending several years with the group she was named Regalia's Dolla, or rather known as Sloth. 

This made the woman even more proud of herself and only felt more mindset for her job even more now. Easily sinking into this mindset Rika became prone to missions and risking her life for the sake of Rapture. At least, this was until during one of those missions she managed to see something like a flash from her past. The girl ran into him the one that had left her all that time ago.

It was a mistake, but the woman.. she couldn't let it go. Rika, after completing her message, she approached the boy having hidden her mask and scythe weapon somewhere before moving to him. "Tomatsu?" her words held an almost fearful tint, this fear having been hidden for so long. And yet there he was and he wasn't a dream like the ones she had before. 

Finding that the childhood friend she had all that time ago, was the same sovereignty as her. The old child like personality surfaced and she quickly hugged the other, but somewhere in her heart she was worried about him. He had left her once, what would stop him from leaving her again? So the sloth within her kept her heart protected and her secret life separate..

A true sloth that she had become.
