Revision 2

Richie (Chinese: 里希) is a playable character in Ananta, serving as a senior officer within the Nova City Crime Agency (NCCA) and the Anti-Chaos Directorate. She is a human female who was first revealed in the game's 2023 announcement trailer and is known among fans as the 'burger girl.'

Personality

Richie embodies a 'work hard, play harder' philosophy. She's described as 'a tough cookie who any criminals would do best to play nice with.' Her defining characteristic combines professional dedication by day as a police officer while 'grinding by night to achieve her dreams.'

She follows the mantra: 'when in doubt, punch it out,' indicating her direct, no-nonsense approach to problem-solving. She functions as an overachiever, though her specific motivation sources remain ambiguous.

Combat Role

Richie provides 'reliable combat performance' with consistent damage output, making her suited for sustained offensive capability. The game's character-switching mechanic allows players to deploy her strategically when reliable combat performance is needed, particularly for long-range support scenarios.

She brings 'raw power and determination' to encounters, making her effective against both conventional criminals and supernatural Chaos threats.

Role in Organizations

As one of the four launch characters alongside Captain, Taffy, and Seymour, Richie serves as an institutional bridge between the NCCA (conventional law enforcement) and the ACD (supernatural response). Her dual affiliation provides unique perspective on Nova City's complex security landscape.

She works under Director Lykaia at the NCCA while also contributing her investigative expertise to the Anti-Chaos Task Force.
