She is a warrior princess/priestess whose bloodline is directly descended from the former imperial family (the Akitsushima Clan) which once ruled the entire island.

Ryoko has long straight black hair. She wears Miko clothes.

Personality
Ryoko is a gentle girl, as seen by the fact that she offers medical treatment not only for her fief's subjects, but also to people from all over Akitsushima that travel to her fief seeking treatment.

Even though she is mild-mannered gentle girl, she can also act boldly, as seen when she proposes Wendelin to marry her before all of his wives.

Background

The Akitsushima Clan was, originally, the most important clan of the island, a clan of healing magicians with priest attributions, but after 10.000 years the clan no longer holds any power.

Magic
As a member of the Akitsushima Clan, Ryoko is able to use healing magic, her ability is inferior to Elise's, however.
