[ Character's Name ] : Rita Mordio [ Character's Age ] : 15 [ Series ] :Tales of Vesperia [ Canon Point ] : Post-Game
If you want the full details, I have a literally novel-length version I can post and link up.
Rita's status after the game's events is not detailed as much as the full array of paintings in the credits would imply, thanks to little details like their directly contradicting at least one sidequest.
[ Personality ] : Rita, at first glance, is antisocial, serious, and quick to get annoyed... Often to the point of violence. The severity of her attacks is proportionate to her view of the individual - young, derpy Karol would often get a swat upside the head, while the older pervert of the group, Raven, was often kicked and even got to experience Rita's fireballs (which seem to be her personal favorite magic outside of battle. Strangely, the basic battle magics best for her to use are water-element). (Even Yuri and Estelle aren't safe - Yuri takes a swat to the gut at one point, and both get fireballed in the face during the play in Nam Cobanda...) She also tends to view significant things as inherently involving risk and sacrifice, becoming bullheaded about a decision to do much of anything in spite of the risks.
This impatient streak even extends to her combat style, which tends to be quick, efficient to the point of recklessness, and heavy on massive spells. (If she says "Blah blah blah," it's already too late to run.) She does not like fights lasting long, and gets pissy if knocked down due to the inevitable dirt and dust on her clothes from when it happens. She does maintain several techniques for fighting at a closer range, including techniques such as card tossing, but dislikes using them. She really likes using her magic, even in odd climes - for example, forgetting how hot she is in the desert by spamming fire magic. (Yes, FIRE magic. In the desert.) Out of the party, she is the one most likely to wonder about the recurring gag of Yuri being cursed, due to how often he ends up fighting and how much weirdness happens around him.
Rita's antisocial streak is largely borne out of a fairly large obsession with her research, and a still-present distrust of people. She, for most of her life, has believed blastia to be more reliable than humans, even naming them and personifying them. This partially pays off in her sheer level of genius in all manner of areas of science, and ability to learn things rapidly - but at the cost of severe social awkwardness and eccentricity. (Her tendency to personify objects is NOT limited to blastia.) Further, there are few ways to frustrate her further than to interrupt her research, at any time, for any reason. Quite simply, she is not used to any significant relationships outside of professional ones, even after a significant time with Yuri's group. And even after all this time, when something inspires her, she can run into streams of ideas, and gets a little too happy when something inspires her research.
She can warm up to people over time - particularly, this is demonstrated to Estelle, who went out of her way to try and bring Rita into a social life, neither having had a friend their own age before. (Well, Rita's a few years younger than Estelle, but close enough). Rita is closer to Estelle than almost anyone, to a level of dere-dere that may indicate something more along the lines of an active love for Estelle - not that Rita would EVER admit it. While most of the party besides Estelle joke about it one way or another (to the point of Yuri calling them "Ristelle"), it's hard to wonder if Estelle wouldn't be interested. This, in turn, has also opened her up to social relationships, at least with some people familiar to Estelle, over time. Note, however, that building friendship with Rita does not protect one from Rita's often violent tendencies - in fact, as Raven can attest, in some ways it makes her more wrathful, and she occasionally is (subtly) mean to even Estelle...
