Rize Tedeza

Rize Tedeza (天々座 理世, usually written リゼ) is a main character of the Is the Order a Rabbit? manga series as well as its anime series.

Appearance
Rize has violet tsurime eyes and long, dark purple hair pulled up into twin-tails with loose bangs. She is the tallest of the main group and a shapely figure, often causing the others and herself to picture her modeling various outfits.

She wears a purple variant of the Rabbit House Café's uniform: a long ankle-length black skirt, white blouse, waistcoat and bow tie. Her school uniform consists of a black blouse with a white blazer, a white and grey plaid skirt and matching plaid tie.

Personality
Rize is a tough, cool and headstrong girl who holds reasonable maturity over the others. She is bluntly opinionated but kind and wise that she is often offers advice towards the others. She isn’t necessarily a tsundere, but she can be blunt with her opinions and she has a vivid active imagination that can cause her to get carried away. As much as she loves appreciating cultured items and those from the military, she deep down also loves cute things, cosplay, and fears that she may not fit in, but she gets flustered if others see her vulnerable side. As a result she may try to act like a "normal" teenage girl to appear more relate-able.

As her dad was a member of the military, Rize is very independent and physically strong. She is talented in many fields and admired by friends and peers alike. However, she has become paranoid enough to carry a Glock and Combat Knife on person at all times.

Background
Rize's father is a soldier who has taught his experiences to her and has been training her for self-defense purposes since she was young.

Etymology
Tedeza Rize → Te de Zarize (テ・デ・ザリゼ) comes from the name "Thé des Alizés," which is a type of French tea that combines Chinese green tea with flavors of peach, kiwi and watermelon.

Quotes
"It's natural to hide from an unfamiliar presence!"

"My dad is a soldier. I've been trained in various forms of self-defense since I was little, that's all… I'm a normal high school girl! Believe me!"

"When you speak to a superior, end your sentences with "sir"!"

"Listen to this, wild geese. A New girl, and she was a really weird one."

"She practiced latte art so much, we ended with way too many cups of it. I Don't want to drink anymore cafe latte for a while."

"I'm not lonely! I'm not lonely at all!"
