Personality
| “ | Gifted in battle, Rapi is perhaps the finest of all Elysion soldiers! | „ |
| ~ Official description |
Most of the time, Rapi acts like the right-hand man and advisor of the Protagonist in-game, explaining various aspects of the world and Nikkes. However, behind her cold demeanor, she is a troubled spirit, constantly questioning her role as a Nikke and her relationship with her commander. Rapi's loyalty and obedience to the commander is unparalleled, being ready to follow any awaiting orders from the commander.
She doesn't seem to mind the mischievous or sarcastic demeanor of her fellow squadmates (Anis and Neon) even if it was directed towards her, although sometimes she may cut it off if necessary.
Ever since Chapter 26 she began to feel intense emotions thanks to Red Hood. She began to feel more confident in herself and became more inactive with the Nikkes. An example of that is the Counters fighting a Tyrant class Rapture called "Ultra". Rapi said it was an outdated model, and said the Counters will win as long as she's here. However she did began to develop a yandere-like personality to the commander. Two explanations are; Getting jealous watching her commander holding Dorothy's hand while being comforted, and seeing Liveryn falling for the commander.

She wears a black beret, black cropped jacket, black collared leotard, red necktie, black and red two-tone gloves, black thighhighs, black footwear, and a black choker. She is usually depicted holding or having an CZ 805 BREN assault rifle on her back.
In her new Red Hood form, she gains deep red hair and her appearance changes a lot. Her weapon is also changed to Seven Dwarfs Zero.
History
Childhood and Demise
Rapi was born in the Ark. Orphaned at a young age, Rapi suffered from a rare illness and was forced to spend all of her time receiving treatment in a hospital. As she was bedridden, Rapi can only watch Nikkes in the television which brought her joy and awe. Due to the recession caused by the Surface Reclamation War, the hospital she resided in was at risk of shutting down. One of the doctors pleaded her for a clinical trial in an effort to cure her disease, despite being hesitant to provide her with it initially. Nevertheless, Rapi accepted in partaking the trials. Within several years, she would show signs of improvement and would ultimately be cured.
Now fully recovered, Rapi was then discharged from the hospital and unceremoniously thrusted into the Ark. Unsure of where to go or what to do, she would find herself at a protest against Nikke discrimination caused after the Goddess Fall incident and was caught in the crossfire. During the protests, Central Government agents were dispatched to quell the protesters and used lethal force, eventually Rapi was shot dead after she was mistaken to be one of the protesters. This led her to becoming a mass-produced Nikke under the serial number RR-15436.
The Grim Reaper
Rapi would initially be assigned to Squad 09-10F, which included a Product 12 Squad Leader and Seira, an extroverted Nikke who wanted nothing more than to get to know Rapi. However, Squad 09-10F would be wiped out during a mission, leaving Rapi as the sole survivor.
Following an altercation involving two other mass-produced Nikkes, Rapi was sent to the rehabilitation center, where she would befriend Rio and Wendi, members of the Skull Head squad which she would ultimately join for around three years until Rio became corrupted and Wendi had to kill her before committing suicide.
As time progressed, Rapi was transferred to many different squads, all sharing the same fate: either ending in a wipe out or corruption, an inescapable vicious cycle that left her as the only survivor. This earned her an infamous reputation amongst other Nikkes, giving her the epithet: the "Grim Reaper." Therefore, the name "Rapi" was said to be synonymous with a death sentence.
Meeting Red Hood
30 years after the events of Red Ash, she was assisted in a battle by Red Hood, an ex-member of Goddess after her squad was wiped out. When Rapi went to visit the Lift with Red Hood as per her wishes, they were ambushed by the Raptures. During the skirmish, Rapi fell off a crevice. Despite her injuries and helplessness as Red Hood fought the Raptures alone, the latter managed to defeat all of them. This prompts her one wish: to become Red Hood herself. After receiving treatment and repairs from the mysterious individual known as "D.E.E.P.," Red Hood began tutoring her student in order to fulfill her only wish. As such, this was Red Hood's last will before she leaves the world. As time passes by, Rapi learns a lot from her mentor but eventually has to meet the end of the line when Red Hood accompanies her to return to the Ark as parting way.
During her modification at the Elysion HQ, it was discovered that Rapi unusually has two cores and weighs twice than average. Therefore, Rapi has assimilated Red Hood's core before her apparent death. Rapi is able to transform into Red Hood, allowing her to tap into the latter's powers and resources as a kind of "super mode" that enhances her strength and speed, albeit at a cost. Using Red Hood's power causes Rapi's body to overheat, leaving her incredibly vulnerable afterwards. If Rapi doesn't deactivate Red Hood in time, then the remains of Red Hood's body will begin to encroach upon Rapi, eventually causing her to transform into Red Hood. Also for some reason, Red Hood keeps telling Rapi to destroy the Ark every time she comes back from using this power.
Absolute
Rapi was then assigned to the Absolute squad, alongside Eunhwa, Emma, and Vesti. Despite the relative newness of the squad, they quickly rose in power and prestige, until they cemented themselves as Elysion's finest. Eunhwa was particularly fond of Rapi, calling her the "perfect partner" and declaring surface reclamation was a certainty as long as they were together. It was Rapi's wish that allowed her to be transferred to Absolute, much like her mentor's former squad.
Rapi's time with Red Hood had emboldened her with the idea that she'd become the successor to Red Hood's mission and mantle as a "Goddess of Victory," and that Absolute were the comrades she would gloriously walk beside, just as Red Hood did with Goddess. That changed during a mission involving 5 Tyrant-class Raptures, where one of her explosive attacks accidentally killed a human. To her horror, despite going against her duty as a Nikke, all Rapi could feel was annoyance at having to write a report. This resulted in an identity crisis, as Rapi came to realize she hadn't inherited Red Hood's legacy at all, playing at being a Goddess of Victory as a child plays hero. She thought she'd used Absolute as props for her Red Hood masquerade, and the subsequent shame eventually compelled her to quietly and abruptly resign from Absolute, much to the squad's shock and in Eunhwa's case, betrayed heartbreak.
Counters and Meeting Anis
At some time after leaving Absolute, Rapi met an unexpected companion, Anis, who found her during at the surface. Both Nikkes would be assigned to a duo squad which would later be known as the "Counters." While Rapi stated she is to be known for her insubordination, Anis explains that while she is unreasonable for her lack of cooperation with a scornful commander, this was done out of detest towards fighting for the people of the Ark, who show disregards to the lives of Nikkes. As Anis told the rumors that after leaving Absolute, it was alleged that Rapi left to a mediocre squad after failing to take the leadership role or her searching for places to die, Rapi was left speechless, but stated that she wanted to look for someone who can lead her, a certain someone that is strong-willed and unyielding, to which they hopefully find someday.
