At [[Heartland Academy|school]], she wears the standard uniform, with hers being green due to her status as a second year student (in the dub, her skirt is lengthened). She wears longer stockings than most female students. Her casual outfit is composed of a blue-white striped sleeveless T-shirt, a blue upper knee length skirt and white high-heeled sandals. | |

She still has her pink eyes.

===Personality=== | ===Personality=== | ||

This is usually shown when conversing with her brother. Her confident personality assists in her interests which allows her to conquer sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball and boxing with ease. Despite all of this, Rio also shows somewhat of a childish side as well, shown by her fear of cats (this showing she has [[Wikipedia:Ailurophobia|ailurophobia]]) and calling [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] a "meanie" when he teasingly refused to help remove one from her sight. Rio tends to be annoyed when people refer to her as "Shark's sister" instead of calling her by name as indicated by [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] due to her snapping at him when he continually calls her as such, and especially does not like it when someone insults her brother. This is further seen many times during her Duel against [[Lotus Hanazoe|Lotus]] as she got mad at her for making a rude remark about Shark. | |
