Plot Summary
In the beginning of the series, Rima plays a very insignificant role. She worries about Shiki over the holidays when he returns home and even more so when she is unable to contact him. After suspecting Shiki has changed after the holidays, she confronts Rido Kuran and tells him to leave Shiki's body since she can tell that he is not Shiki. She is wounded by Rido, but is saved by Takuma Ichijo. She tries to convince Shiki to snap out of his state and calls him an idiot for letting Rido control him, telling Shiki he should learn to love himself more. Badly wounded, she is sent back to the Moon Dormitory by Takuma. Shiki, returned to his original self, saves her by carrying her out as the building collapses. She later asks for his blood. In the aftermath of the battle, Rima and Shiki are seen searching for Ichijo, who has disappeared.

A year later, during the ball, Rima is annoyed with Kaname because he halted their search prematurely and did not reveal Ichijo's whereabouts. Rima expresses an unwillingness to attend the party, but is cajoled by Shiki to attend, where coincidently, they ran into Ichijo.

After the ball they visited the Kuran mansion to deliver a message to Yuuki from Ichijou. The two get annoyed with Aidou for his unwillingness to bend the rules, but Yuuki asks to make an exception for the two and invites them in. Rima notices Yuuki's heels and comments to Yuuki that she didn't think the prefect was the type to wear impractical shoes (pin heels). She and Shiki leave promptly because the place is reminder of Rido.

They are later seen doing a photoshoot at the school where Sara Shirabuki was posing as a student, and again ran into Ichijou there.
