History
Rima was friends with Ultraman Mu, and presumably knew his whole family, when the two of them were children. When Taki was 87, the two made a love pledge, and then Rima left for as yet unknown reasons. She met Taki again when she came to Earth in the fall of 2008. However, she seemed to be crazy, obsessed with the idea that they were destined lovers, and she need only remove Miara from the picture as Taki's girlfriend from him to realize this. Taki, although he knew that she had changed a lot in the thousands of years since they'd seen each other, wasn't sure what had happened in all that time, and he was quite afraid of dealing with her.
Shortly after Halloween, she appeared at The Hotel to gloat, and Miara quickly surmised that she had kidnapped Taki, who she shortly tracked down. After a short fight between Miara and Rima, Taki was rescued, and Rima woke to find them gone. She retreated to regroup and plan.
And plan she did, until there weren't anymore loop holes in her plan like last time. It took quite a while, but finally she was able to make contact with Taki again. Visiting him at his apartment, she apologized for her previous behavior, appearing by all counts to have changed and regret her previous actions. They arranged to have a drink later in the week, and although it was at times difficult for her, things went much better. She came away with Miara's number, and soon called her to see if they could talk, as well.
Although more suspicious than Taki, Miara couldn't ignore a chance to make things right, and went to meet Rima. However, Rima was quick to capture her, dropping her through a trap door into a blocked off room with no windows, and which she had rigged with a special force field to keep her from blasting her way our or feeling anything on the outside. More than pleased, Rima left her there to carry on her pursuit of Taki with Miara out of the way. Taki, meanwhile, found some notes in his box, one from Miara stating she had to go away for a bit, and it wasn't unusual for her to travel.
It was just Rima's luck that on her way to see Taki, some rowdy schoolboys knocked her down into a steep drainage ditch, which injured her leg. Knowing no one else, she called on Taki for help, and used the situation to stay at his apartment for a day or two, until her leg felt better. However, when Miara missed a regular training session with Kai with no word, and Kai unable to find her, she and Eiry approached Taki to see if he had heard from her. He in turn consulted TheHunterKiller, who confirmed that she couldn't find Miara on neither Earth nor Xcheamo.
After doing some investigating, such as comparing handwriting samples between Rima and Miara, he quickly concluded that it was most likely Rima's doing, after all, and confronted her about it. She seemed to change on the spot, and he woke up on the floor some time later, having been jabbed with a needle. Rima returned to her base, where she discovered Miara's fur form, and the fact that she was doing something weird with power, trying to get through the force field.
Quick to enlist some help, Taki and Kai searched many isolated and abandoned building in Tokyo and the surrounding area looking for Rima's base. Finally, they found her out in an old abandoned warehouse building, and rescued Miara. However, she had been caged several days and when Rima tried to go in to stop her from what she was doing, she launched herself on Rima, quite crazed, and intending to seriously hurt or kill her. The generator feeding the force field around the room and Rima's personal force field was fried when the two collided, and the girls fought fiercely in the main body of the warehouse until Taki transformed in to Mu and forcefully separated them by picking Miara up. With Kai's help, he was able to subdue her back into a reasonable state. Kai began a self-structure which Miara's astral would complete on its' own.
Once Mu put Miara down, however, Rima wouldn't stop the fight, and so it continued, moving outside of the building. It was at this point that a Baltan, an arch-enemy of the Ultraman, appeared, and the girls' fight stopped immediately. It soon became apparent that Rima had been brainwashed by the Baltan to get close to Mu. Kai started home before becoming embroiled in the battle or with emergency services while the other three tried unsuccessfully to attack the Baltan. Finally, Mu was able to land a debilitating hit before his timer ran out, but that had mere minutes before the Baltan would regenerate.
Remembering the electric fence further up the block, the three went there, and Miara was able to convert the power enough for Taki to absorb it and reset his Ultra form. However, he knew that they needed to mentally join to defeat the Baltan, something Rima was adamant not happen. It was almost too late by the time she allowed it, and then the battle was over quickly--Taki and Miara now able to see the brainwashing done to Rima. The Baltan seemed dead, but put out one last attack on Mu before all three of them blasted it dead for sure, Mu taking the brunt of the last attack.
Feeling cutely that Taki was dying, the girls were quick to run to him to try to help, for the first time working together to give him power and save him. Kai had returned by this point, and managed to get past Z-KAT members, who had already arrived at the scene. She was quite startled to feel the amount of power Miara was using for Taki, and quick to offer what she could of her own. Rima gave what she could, and the girls suddenly realized that her mind was undoing the brainwashing--a result of the shared mind while Miara was restructuring her own mind.
Although they managed to save him, Rima was quite jealous watching Miara go to great lengths to do so, and was rather short with the Z-KAT members before retreating back into her base. Although no one saw her for some time, she was still on Earth in February of 2009, when she appeared at Taki's apartment on Valentine's Day to give him chocolates--and she seemed to be back to her normal self. Although she knew he didn't return her love, she wanted to convey her feelings when not brainwashed, and left shortly after.
It was some time later, while Miara was pregnant with Zan, that they learned from Natsumi Kensei that Rima and Ken were dating.
