Personality
Ririsya has a calm, collected and monotone demeanor. She normally speaks very quietly and doesn't show much emotion unless something makes her break out of her role.

Ririsya has a habit of making a hissing sound whenever something annoys or frustrates her. This occasionally causes new viewers to think she is a snake girl even though her lore puts her down as a undead. She was at first confused due to the difference in onomatopoeia associated with snakes between Japanese and English. But she started calling herself a "snake zombie."
