Character: Rika Furude Fandom: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Character Notes: History: -Rika's family has been protectors of the land of Hinamizawa for years- and she was told that she would become the shrine maiden when she was capable enough for it. Even when she was younger, she still had a mature side to her, along with that cutesy attitude.
-When she was born, even back then she had sensed another person near her, and it was none other than the supposed god, Oyashiro-sama. Her real name is Hanyuu, and she would be one of Rika's closest friends, talking only to Rika.
- Hanyuu had taught her these culinary skills which caused her mother to worry. Her mother did not teach her these skills and as people congratulated her on teaching Rika well, she wrote in her diary that she had the suspicion that the Rika she sees everyday was not her daughter. In retrospect, Hanyuu was more of a mother to Rika than her mother was to her.
- As shown above, Rika did not really have a good relationship with her parents. after watching them die for 100 years, she had grown immune to their love.
-One day, after the Watanagashi festival, Rika's parents had died. Her father was found dead- passed out due to some unknown sympton, and her mother had supposedly commited suicide from all the stress. With that, Rika was to take over everything since her parents were gone.
-Not long after all this, she moved in with her friend Satoko, since her parents had died as well, and they continued to live together near the shrine.
-A man named Akasaka had come to the village to investigate some rumors, and he had run into Rika, and Rika told him all about the dam project, and how people would be scorned if they didn't oppose such actions. Eventually, Akasaka returned to Tokyo after some pretty exciting events.
-Years later, a boy named Keiichi showed up to Hinamizawa, and everyone soon became close friends with him, even allowing him to be in the club that Rika was apart of. None of them thought that there would be such tragic events about to happen to any of them.
-One night, men came into the house and grabbed Rika, and took her to the shrine. She was stripped of her clothing, and tied up, gag and all. Then, she was killed by having her stomach sliced open.
-After that, the gruesome Hinamizawa disaster occurred, where everyone was killed, none were left alive. It wasn't yet explained how it was done.
-Hanyuu used her powers to send Rika back in time, to start over again and try to change the fate that was her eventual death.
-Sadly, such events continued to happen, but with slight variations to them. Sometimes Keiichi would go insane and kill his friends, or maybe Shion, the twin sister of Mion, would rampage and torture everyone thinking it was the right thing to do. All these events, everyone believed that it was due to the curse of Oyashiro-sama, and no matter what Rika did, she couldn't find a fragment where she could overcome her death.
-Eventually, she had been sent back in time to only about two weeks before the Watanagashi festival, around the festival was when she would be killed. She didn't feel like fighting anymore, she just wanted to accept this fate and get it over with and find another fragment. That was, until her friend, Keiichi, decided to stand up against destiny, and teach Rika that there was a way to overcome it, she just had to believe in her friends and wish for a miracle.
-She fought this time around, and just when she thought she was winning, the true leader of this whole operation showed themselves to the group. It was none other than Takano, just a nurse at the local clinic. Rika now knew who her enemy was, and even while she was being killed, she continued to stare at Takano, and attempt to burn this memory into her brain.
-Rika will continue having her memories from the last time she was at Drama Drama Duck where she was in between fragments after being killed.
Personality: Rika is a normal girl that is full of energy to the people of the rural village, Hinamizawa. Or rather, was one until that fateful year of 1983 on the month of June. That year quickly robbed her of her chance of living out her days as a normal child. However, Rika’s ancestor and friend, Hanyuu granted her the chance to relive her days to try and change her fate. Most of the time, it ends the same way (albeit with different methods) with Rika dying each time. Only she and Hanyuu are the ones conscious of this seemingly unchanging cycle of fate, but her friends sometimes regains memories from past worlds. There are two sides to Rika Furude, the energetic and playful girl and the more mature, cynical ‘witch’ Frederica Bernkastel.
On the outside, she shows her innocent and cheerful side to everyone, but at times she speaks of dirty and immature jokes. She consoles others by patting their heads which is also considered a friendly gesture from her. Even though she may seem oblivious, as in staring off into space and speaking when it is necessary, she is rather intelligent for her supposed age. She shares wise words at the appropriate times that to others it gives off a peculiar taste, but it comes as to no surprise given the events that have transpired around her.
She is the most happiest among her friends, she would give anything to save them from their unchanging fate of being killed. Rika doesn’t want her friends to worry and hides the truth to them; fearing that they would not believe her after many years of trying. She would even go to the lengths of going against society rules to help her friends hide a body which is shown in Tsumihoroboshi-hen.
Rika refers to her other side as Frederica Bernkastel. She doesn’t give this side a name until Saikoroshi-hen where she named herself after her favorite kind of wine and her full name: Furude Rika. Throughout the series, some of her emotions become more apathetic. This is shown in Minagoroshi-hen when Satoko tells Rika about the prize money for one of their club activities. After repeating the same cycle for the past 100 years, she has become unfazed and thus Rika doesn’t react to Satoko’s exclaimation. Though she quickly covers this up when she tells them that she would buy an unlimited supply of soy sauce and questions everyone else what they would do with this money.
Hanyuu is the only one who really sees her pessimistic side. When Rika is really depressed, she resorts to Bernkastel wine (her father’s favorite wine) to drown out her sorrows. Since her body is not that of an adult’s, she has to water it down in order for it to be drinkable to her.
Even though, she’s lived out her life for at least a hundred years, she still has hope. The tiniest change can spark up excitement to her since it is something that has not happened in that world. Something minor as to having different dinners with Satoko to Keiichi giving the doll he received after participating in the club activity to Mion as something major. Throughout the years, Rika had her hopes slowly dwindle; hoping that things would change as she watched idly, but thanks to Keiichi, she has learned that unchanging fate can be changed. It’s the matter of having the will to change it. He demonstrates this from time and time again, like in Tsumihoroboshi-hen when he saves Rena from resorting to killing like he did in Onikakushi-hen. This brings hope to Rika and she decides to give life another shot, even though it was all for nothing at the end. Though even after that, she continues to believe that she can defeat the fate that chains her.
What she desires the most is to procure a world that would give Rika Furude the chance to save her friends and survive June of 1983.
Other: Rika likes to express herself using the sounds, “mii” (kitten’s meow) and “nipa” (big smile) and also uses sound effects or use silly phrases.
The Hinamizawa festival was once again lively with nature. The booths were colorful and filled with cheerful people, except one Rika Furude. It was a day that couldn’t be avoided even if she wanted to.
“Mii~ Keiichi, Satoko! Over here!” The girl waved over to the two donning upon her shrine maiden outfit. She was supposed to dance the ceremonial dance in front of the shrine today. “It’s nice to see you here in the festival! I hope you see me perform my dance tonight. I really worked hard on it. If you don’t, Oyashiro-sama will surely curse you, nipa☆~” She let out a giggle along with a smile, however these were but a façade, masking her depression.
Even though today was a day of happiness and joy, it also signaled the turning point of this fragment. Rika knew that today would come, but she didn’t think it would come so soon. It must be because of Hanyuu’s power draining. She heaved a sigh and glanced up at the clouds, was there any hope for her in this world?
“I just want these happy times to continue…”
Rika was taken out of her gloomy thoughts by a pat on the shoulder and put on her mask once more. She shouldn’t worry her friends, it was she that should bare the burden of saving them. Getting them involved would surely lead to another bad end.
“Since we’re all here, we should start our club activity right club president?”

It was that time again.
The Hinamizawa festival was once again lively with nature. The booths were colorful and filled with cheerful people, except one Rika Furude. It was a day that couldn’t be avoided even if she wanted to.
