Bio: A young woman that lived in Japan, Rika was once a proud citizen of The Union, in which the small island Nation of Japan belonged to. A student aspiring to become a nurse in one of Japan's best hospitals, Rika was about to enter college when all of a sudden, a war broke out between The Union and one of the smaller nations, prompting The Union to mandate a draft to gather up as much manpower as possible for the war. Unfortunately for Rika, she was one of those drafted for the war, thus crushing her chance to go to college to learn medicine. Instead, she underwent the rigorous military training that prepared her physically and mentally for the rigors of warfare. Sent to the frontlines as a pilot for a VMS-15 Union Realdo, Rika performed her duties as a soldier well, despite the fact that she did not really want to fight. After a while, however, she got sick and tired of being a soldier, so she decided instead to run to The Philippines -- a small nation that blossomed technologically over time, allowing them the small luxury of having a standing Mobile Suit army. As she arrived there, Rika hoped that The Philippines' declared neutrality would allow her to live peacefully, away from the warring nations. Unfortunately for her, nothing could be further from the truth.
Managing to make a life for herself in the small nation, she then began to hear news of the Philippines facing immense political pressure from the various HRL nations, especially since the Philippines was once a member of the ASEAN. With the Philippine president firmly remaining steadfast to the nation's vow of Neutrality, Rika's fears would once again come true, as the Philippines would find itself entering into armed conflict against the HRL nations. With no other place to go, Rika could only watch as the Philippines fight a bitter, yet losing battle against the HRL, despite having the luxuries of Advanced technology.
At least, if it weren't for the entry of a group known as Celestial Being, who immediately stepped in with a small army of Gundams. With the aid of Celestial Being, The Philippines managed to drive back the HRL Forces, and thus maintaining their sovereignity. Rika, having seen the terrifying scenes of burning buildings in Manila, the Philippines' capital city, decided that at point that in order to achieve peace, she has to once again bear arms, and enter headlong into the war. However, instead of going back to The Union's armed forces, Rika decided to seek out Celestial Being, feeling that they shared the same goal as her in ending the War. Fortunately for the attractive, green-haired young woman, she was warmly accepted by the group.
Since that time, Rika has trained hard once more in combat, ranging from arms training to piloting a Gundam, which she found was a bit more different than piloting a regular mobile suit. Much like the other Gundam pilots in Celestial Being, Rika attained the status of Gundam Meister due to her skills. On top of that, because of her ferocity and heart in combat, Rika would be known now by her codename: Axel Deka.
Though she seems to be cheery at any given time, in truth, Rika holds a lot of pain and sadness, which resulted from her years of piloting a mobile suit under The Union, in which she saw her fellow soldiers massacre unarmed civilians, as well as the enemy soldiers they were supposed to target. She also hid the pain from seeing many of the citizens in the City of Manila suffer greatly, as their lives and livelihoods fell apart due to the war. Nonetheless, Rika tries to be optimistic even in the darkest of situations, and tries to rally her teammates when they seem to be down in the dumps.
