Rika (里香) is an engineer that appears in Stage 1 and the Extra Stage of Story of Eastern Wonderland, where she creates a large number of monsters and starts hanging around the Hakurei Shrine while Reimu Hakurei is away. The reason for and method of creating all of these monsters and Bakebake isn't clear at all.
General Information
Machinery
- Flower Tank
- The Flower Tank (ふらわ~戦車 Furawa~ sensha) is a tank created by Rika. It was used on Stage 1 to fight Reimu, and Rika thought it was enough to defeat her. The tank has red caterpillar tracks with a grey turret. The turret is round with a yin-yang mark painted on the top. Many leaves hang out from the back of the turret. Vines also hang around the main cannon.
- Evil Eye Sigma
- The Evil Eye Sigma (Σ) (イビルアイ∑ ibiruai sigma) is a flying tank created by Rika. It was used on the Extra Stage to fight Reimu, and Rika again thought it was enough to defeat her. it appears to have one big eye with a red iris and black eyelids. It has two large purple wings, a halo, and two large tentacles. Below there is something green (leaves?). On the lower eyelid there is a red Sigma (∑), the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet.
- Other
- Rika also has created the Stage 1 midboss of Story of Eastern Wonderland. She said that everything on the first stage was created by her, so this tank is obviously hers.
