Personality/Bio
Rio has an ongoing identity crisis as she struggles to reconcile the memories of the Nightmare World that made her bitter and jaded with her new memories of the Dream World, where she was upbeat and enthusiastic about life.
While at first it seems that both worlds' versions of herself are completely different people the Dream version is simply making more of an effort to express a positive attitude in hopes of internalizing it. Knowing this, the Nightmare version uses the anonymity of Neon Diver Argent to act more brash and excited than her usual dour self. Basically, she's like a synthesis of the idiot protagonist type and the edgelord rival type. (Importantly, these two "selves" never physically interact, any communication between the two is purely anecdotal by one or the other.)
Due to both her time as a laborer and her career as a Diver she's developed a mentality focused around short-term goals, whether just trying to get through the day or taking actions with visible immediate results. This frustrates the big picture-focused Whitney sometimes and likewise Rio can get impatient with her.
Rather than being someone with a strong moral foundation she's just someone with a compulsion to help out someone in trouble, as such she's not fully equipped to deal with the moral quandries her alliance with Whitney and the Neon Knights raises. However, this simple motivation gives her something easy to hold onto when things are tough which reflects on the people around her.
Extremely focused on quality of life and improving it for both herself and others.
Has frequent bouts of depression, particularly when things go wrong. Despite this, she often finds a reason to keep going and thanks to her new friends these reasons become more apparent to her faster.
