Rika Furude is one of the younger students in Keiichi's school, and is in the same grade level as Satoko. Naturally, she is great friends with her, as they live together in the same house. She is revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine, and plays the role of a miko in the annual Watanagashi Festival. She has been the head of the Furude house since her parents died, but rarely attends town meetings due to her young age. While she does not speak a lot, she likes to say nonsense words such as "mi~" and "nipa~" and often ends her sentences with "-nano desu", which inflames Rena's passion for cute things. Despite her young appearance, she is rather calm and reserved-usually serving as the voice of reason amongst the club members. However, she can be calculating if she wishes.
