History/Character's Background Story:

Riko's history is simple and not filled with any tragedy or sadness like many other stories. Riko was born in the Song Village, which is a happy village although very simple, with their own traditions and customs. The people of the Song Village spend their lives living them the way they choose to with the help of the dances. They usually spend the days dancing and enjoying themselves with the occasional attack on their villages by thieves or spies. The Sonians (people of the Song Village) have also learned to fight using their dances. The Dance of Death, Dance of Healing, Dance of Support, and the Dance of Strength were four individual styles of dance that were used in the Sonians fighting style. Each style had their own specific function. The Dance of Death was the main dance style, which is used in order to defeat the opponent with dance steps and reflexes. The Dance of Healing is used to heal a person physically or mentally and boost their stamina or morale and energy. The Dance of Support is used generally to lighten the mood but more commonly for supporting oneself by forcing the enemy to lower their guard. Finally, the Dance of Strength is used to strengthen a person and make them physically strong for a limited amount of time. Riko had no problems with her village and loved it, but after learning different dances, she asked her parents if she could see the world and learn about the other types of people. They joyfully accepted this and the village saw her off with a dance. She traveled to Sentou Gakuin to meet new people and go into her own adventures.
