Rio

Rio Hohenheim is a cocktail waitress aboard the JSL Space Station Hotel. She is looking for something other than survivors...

Personality
At first, Rio can be quite cold and blunt. She can be considered quite antisocial, having no friends or relationships and living alone. It's difficult to get personal information out of her, as most questions you ask about her are quickly dismissed. Although she's no stranger to the occasional rude or sarcastic remark, she never badmouths others or uses profanity. As the game progresses she warms up to the Operator and develops a crush on him, despite his relationship with Naomi. It can be speculated that her loneliness isn't a deliberate choice, and rather the result of personality flaws she doesn't have control over. Although this loneliness has given her a unique sense of individuality, not being afraid to stand up for herself or demand respect.

Biography
As a young girl, Rio was shot through the heart by Joe Powers in his attempt to steal the philosopher's stone. Her father revived her by placing the stone in her chest, where it remained. She fled to Japan soon after, fearing for her safety and wanting to get away from it all.

Years later in her Tokyo apartment, Rio was half-watching the news when she noticed what appeared to be the philosopher's stone sitting in the exhibit room of the JSL Space Station Hotel. In order to fulfill her family duty of guarding the stone, she takes a waitress job at the hotel in order to retrieve it.

All is well until Joe Powers releases his army of mutants on the hotel. In the confusion, Gino locks Rio inside of a cell in the security room. About an hour later, The Operator wakes up in the operating room and assists Rio in her escape.

Appearance
Rio is 5' 5 '' and 125 pounds with a lean build. She has fair skin, blue eyes, and short blonde hair with a right part. At the beginning of the game she is wearing a yellow cocktail outfit and changes to a combat outfit midway through. In New Game + she wears a necklace, white tank top, shorts, and sandals. Her age is purely speculative, but when asked about it she replies with "18... just kidding", a common joke among people who are definitely far above that age. Going by the age of her voice actors, it's estimated that she's somewhere in her late 20's or possibly early 30's.
