Rian is usually cheerful, happy and positive. She is also stubborn when it comes to Atsushi and their challenges, being very determined and "scary". Rian is determined and once her mind's on something, nothing can stop her.

Relationships
Horiuchi Atsushi - Her childhood rival and next door neighbour. They don't get along at all, but will protect one another when the situation calls for it. Rian finds him cocky and an insult to Japanese people. She is jealous at his inhuman abilities and beating her in every challenge she throws at him. They argue a lot during school because they are president and vice-president of the student council (she being the vice-president).

Yamauchi Azusa - One of her childhood best friends. Because they have similar personalities, they get along well and make up plans to try and defeat Atsushi. They also help each other out on relationships and hang out a lot.

Miyazawa Yurie - One of her childhood best friends. She often helps Rian out with her family problems and acts as a motherly figure. Ai cares for Rian a lot, making them fairly close. They also help each other out on relationships and hang out a lot.

Takeuchi Jun - A good friend of hers and usually ships him and Ai together. She is oblivious to his romantic feelings for her. Due to their positive personalities, they get along well.

Amano Kazuki - A good friend of hers. She sees him as the male version of Ai and goes to him to try to find out what Atsushi's plan is. They are often mistaken as brother and sister due to their similar appearances.

Nakahara Rena - Older sister. Although her sister asked her to become an idol and model, she refused because she realized she wouldn't have enough time to do the

Nakahara Rina - Younger sister. Is often told to be quiet from her due to her and Atsushi's commotion everyday. Because she is also an idol and model, she thought to give it a try to try and let Rian become an idol and model too, also failing. They are close and often talk about their personal problems.

Nakahara Ren - Older brother. They get along well, and help each other out from time to time. She has to get him off his obsession with Yamauchi, though.
