Rita Mordio

Rita Mordio, is one of the protagonists from Tales of Vesperia of the Tales game series. She is a young, ingenious, and eccentric but apparently infamous blastia researcher. Rita was born and raised in Aspio, a city of scholars. She has a quick temper and poor social disposition; without hesitation, she will execute her magic on any offender if provoked.

Yuri at first believes she stole the blastia from the lower district, but it just turns out the thief was using her last name to come across as "legitimate". She joins the companions to continue her blastia research, and fights with a scroll and magic. She becomes best friends with Estelle and eventually bonds with Judith as the story progresses.
