Rima Toya

Rima Toya (矢 莉磨, Tōya Rima) is one of the youngest Night Class students and works alongside Senri Shiki as a model. As a vampire, Rima possesses lightning and electricity-based powers. She is roommates with Ruka Souen.

Character Outline
Rima possesses a personality similar to Senri. She tends to expend energy only when necessary, and is usually a lady of few words. Normally, she comes across as indifferent and aloof, but is often seen to be worrying about Senri and Takuma. Despite her uninterested air she has no qualms speaking her mind and unexpectedly has a short-tempered side to her as well. She usually has an indifferent or disinterested expression on her face. As a vampire, she gets sunburned easily and can be seen walking under an umbrella with Shiki during the day.

Appearance
Rima has a pale, creamy skin tone that resembles the tone of most of the Night Class. She stands at a total height of 170 cm (or 5'7") [according to Wikipedia] and has a slender, perfectly proportioned body. She is one of the youngest in the Night Class and is 16 years of age.

Her hair is a fiery orange shade, and could be described as "pin-straight". When left alone it will hang just below her shoulders in layered locks of gold. Rima often uses black ribbon to tie it up into pigtails high on each side of her head, the only part that is left alone is the bangs that fall just above her eyes. The bangs are not straight across her forehead as many would picture from a model of Rima's stature, but instead lay across her forehead in choppy fragments that have a fringe that falls right between her eyes. Her eyes are a jewel blue colour.

Plot Summary
In the beginning of the series, Rima plays a very insignificant role. She worries about Senri over the holidays when he returns home and even more so when she is unable to contact him. After suspecting Senri has changed after the holidays, she confronts Rido Kuran and tells him to leave Senri's body since she can tell that he is not Senri. 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 Senri he should learn to love himself more. Badly wounded, she is sent back to the Moon Dormitory by Takuma. Senri, 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 Senri are seen searching for Takuma, who has disappeared.

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

After the ball they visit the Kuran mansion to deliver a message to Yuki from Takuma. The two get annoyed with Hanabusa for his unwillingness to bend the rules, but Yuuki asks to make an exception for the two and invites them in. Rima notices Yuki'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 run into Takuma there.

They are shown again at a model shoot after Kaname has disappeared. They see a model who had been confronted by a vampire who said she looked unappetising. They then start discussing the nobels and Kaname's relationship and Rima shows sympathy for Yuki. Yuki then comes later at the end of the model shoot to ask something. It is revealed that Yuki wants to start the Night Class again and wanted Rima and Shiki to be her comrades. Rima helping Yuki with the Night Class may start to involve her in the story more.
