Rikako Oryo (王陵 璃華子 Ouryou Rikako) is a student at Oso Academy who creates cruel monuments to her father's art using the bodies of her victims under the influence of Shogo Makishima.
Appearance
Oryo is a female adolescent of taller than average height and a slender build. She has lavender-irised eyes and long straight black hair with bangs over her forehead. She usually wears a calm, collected expression, but does show fear at the time of her death.[1] She is almost always seen wearing her school uniform.
Personality
She has the typical charisma displayed by idols of all-girl academies, but her popularity is one-sided and she lacks genuine friendships. She shares the same serenity and aloofness as Shogo Makishima, though less mature in comparison. Beneath her veneer of grace, however, Oryo is a sinister girl who especially likes themes of cruelty. "Titus Andronicus" by Shakespeare is a favorite of hers because of its depictions of cruelty and she enjoys discussing it at length. As an artist, her favorite subject is the brutalized female body, sometimes of her victims, with missing or rearranged limbs. She is a psychopath whose artwork mimics her real life crimes. She reveres her late father's artwork and her resolve to commit crimes is based on the vengeance she wishes to exact on the Sibyl System for what she perceives as having been done to him.
Personal Background
Oryo is a 3rd grade student at the Oso Academy.[1]
At some point in time, she meets Makishima who works under an alias as a teacher at the Academy. She then becomes one of his protégés.
In December 2112, she murders four fellow students, plastinates and displays them as works of art. Her victims are Satsuki Kuzuhara, Masami Yamaguchi, Yoshika Okubo and Kagami Kawarazaki.[2]
Her father also dies in December 2112.[2]

Roichi Oryo
Oryo reveres her father and despises the society that she believes caused him to mentally and emotionally shut down. She wants to honor her father and fulfill his lifelong mission of alerting the masses to societal dangers by creating gruesome works of art from the bodies of her victims.[2] In reality, Oryo the elder is an upright man who only seeks to alert the masses through his art.
