Ringo is Ryoko's partner and roommate. Don't let her cutesy appearance fool you -- when push comes to shove, Ringo can be fairly dangerous when she wants to be.
 
Fairy Tales: "[[Little Red Riding Hood (Literature)|Little Red Riding Hood]]", Little Red Riding Hood; "[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Literaturenovel)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]", Poison Red Apple; possibly the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, with her as the fruit.

** Sets up a ''[[Fridge Brilliance|brilliant]]'' subversion of the tale of Snow White, though. Instead of a bite (kiss) of a poison red apple putting the princess to sleep, it was CPR (a kiss) from the "blackhearted" Red Apple girl that woke her up.

-----
* [[Animal Motifs]]: The cat.
* [[Anime Hair]]
Line 422 ⟶ 408:

The narrator of the story.
 
-----
