Rita Mordio

Rita is the first person to arrive at Niteo, and given the nature of it, it's possible that Rita is responsible for its existence as a whole. Much quicker than she had expected, others started to appear, and thus, Rita was actively playing greeter and attempting to explain where they had all ended up. It's only recently, though, that a conclusive theory has been developed.

Vesperian Relationships:
Yuri Lowell:

He's taken the position of quite possibly the most important person in Rita's life, affecting her deeply and profoundly from the day he, Estelle and Karol arrived in Aspio. It's Yuri who truly allows Rita to learn and grow, understanding relationships and feeling comfortable around others. She's also come to view him as an older brother, spending a lot of her time with him and even going so far as to write him a lengthy letter thanking him for his role in her life.

Karol Capel:

Growing closer to him during their stay at Niteo, planning with him ways to have Nan fall for him and retrieving Dhaos' cape from Yuri's home in secret. Smiling at Karol and actually admitting to be impressed with something he came up with, Rita accepts his high five, declaring it a victory for the two. He's become somewhat of a little brother to her, despite still being mildly distant from him, she cares very deeply for him and his safety.

Judith:

Leaving the "dragon freak" incidents behind her to some extent, Rita now cares for Judith very much as well, seeing her as an older, but annoying, sister. She's a firm supporter of her and Jade Curtiss' relationship, due to the fact that Rita can clearly see a difference in her happiness, and finds it impossible to believe she'd find anyone better. She doesn't want to see Judith end up alone even though their teasing still frustrates her, she works much better with her now and wishes for Judith to have a comfortable future.

Raven/Schwann Oltorain:

Rita cares for the old man much more than she'll admit to anyone. His joking attitude, flirtatious advances with just about everyone have been a source of amusement for her, as well as a relief from boredom when she needs it. As such, Rita finds it more endearing than she lets on. After the events at Baction and Heracles, Rita considers it her personal responsibility to handle Raven if he chooses to betray the party again. He does so, at Niteo, kidnapping Rita as Schwann, much to her fury. Raven then reveals he's actually in love with Rita, causing her to cry and become increasingly frustrated with him and herself, and the entire situation.

Patty Fleur:

Though they've not spent a lot of time together, Rita's opinion of Patty has raised, and she does see the blonde pirate as a sister to her as well, becoming part of Rita's personal family that is Brave Vesperia, plus a few additions.

Flynn Scifo:

Able to discuss with him why he treated Yuri like he did throughout their journey, Rita has moved on from her initial dislike of Flynn and now thinks highly of him as well, including him in her family as another, but not as close, older brother.

Yeager:

A man similar to Raven in circumstances, Rita has known him for a while, longer than she reveals to the party. After working for him begrudgingly for a short period of time, Yeager's weapons selling giuld, Leviathan's Claw, takes a turn for the worst in terms of income. Uncomfortable with seeing Yeager's franticness and worry over this, Rita offers Yeager the newest invention she's come up with, an improved bodhi blastia that allows for more power with much less aer consumption and conversion. The product goes over well and Yeager thanks Rita, offering to credit her and give her a portion of the profits, to which she declines. After spending more time with him, including their time at Niteo, Rita comes to view Yeager as the father who was never present in her life, relying on him for advice, comfort and moral support.

Duke:

Seeing somewhat of a kindred soul in Duke in regards to his intelligence and dislike of humanity, when Rita sees that Duke is worried about losing his new closeness with Brave Vesperia due to the appearence of Fainus Scifo, Rita approaches him, admitting that she loves him like family. She thanks him for his assistance, advice and simple conversation, saying that she can't blame him for his actions with Tarqaron or any of that, for if not for Yuri, Rita wouldn't have minded, since she herself thought very poorly of humanity, disliking and distrusting them.
