Rikako Asakura (朝倉 理香子 Asakura Rikako) is among the few people in Gensokyo who values science more than magic, though she can use both. Because of this, she's regarded as a heretic by Reimu Hakurei. Believing the ruins in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream were made by science, she ends up in the big battle to enter the Probability Space Hypervessel.
Character Basis
Name
"Rika" (理香) means Science in Japanese, and "ko" (子) is common at the end of female Japanese names. The fact that "Rika" means Science links to the fact that Rikako is a scientist. The surname "Asakura" (朝倉) is a common Japanese surname.
Design
Rikako appears to wear a white lab coat with a yellow ribbon at the collar, with a white ribbon in her hair and small round glasses. Her hair and eyes appear purple. Her alternate outfit is the same, except her lab coat and ribbon is a peach colour. Her hair and eyes also appear red.
