Appearance

While in ballet class, she wears as strictly required by ballet class dress code: pink tights, pink leotard and pink ballet slippers. And her hair is also put into a bun.

Outside of ballet class, she wears a yellow head band with a yellow bow on the left side, a pink hello kitty dress with long sleeves, black leggings and white Mary Jane shoes.

Her winter attire is a pink puffer jacket, pink pom-pom beanie, shooting star dress, cheer socks, snow boots, pink cable knit mittens

Personality
Rita is a sweet, bubbly and happy little girl. She refuses to dance unless she has her twin sister Lianne dancing with her.

When she and Lianne are together, they are helping each other practicing the five positions, the spotting and turns, the plies, and the leaps.

However, as Blake's hostile, and intimidating bullying behavior at home grew from bad to worse, she and Lianne grew more afraid each day as the terrible teenager would pull their curly hair, push them down the stairs, threaten them, break their toys, tease or harass, pinch, and kick them.
