[edit] Personality And Traits

A persistent, young woman, who doesn't like to be beaten in battle and have her mistakes pointed out by others, 18-year old Rio Mei Long is a cheerful, competitive person, with a strong sense of justice. Her persistence comes from her personality of beliving that what she says is always right. Rio longed to be a Personal Trooper pilot, and would spend time in the PT simulator when she's off duty as bridge operator of the Hagane, training to become an actual pilot.

When Rio meets Divine Crusaders Ryoto Hikawa, who later defects to the Earth Federation Army, she dislikes him for his awkwardness, but comes to see him differently. She develops a one-sided rivalry with Ryoto, and her competitive nature kicked in when she requests she becomes a test pilot, just like he does, after Original Generation, when the two of them are recruited to work in Mao Industries.
