  Character Description:
  Rika Shinozaki, known as Lisbeth in virtual worlds, is a talented blacksmith and close friend of Kirito's group. Known for her fiery personality, quick wit, and exceptional crafting skills, she runs blacksmith shops in various VRMMORPGs. Despite her tough exterior, she deeply cares for her friends and is always ready to offer help or sharp-tongued advice.
  
  Background:
  Rika Shinozaki was 13 years old when she entered Sword Art Online (SAO) on November 6, 2022, along with 9,999 other players who became trapped in the deadly virtual world. While most players focused on combat and floor clearing, Rika discovered her passion for blacksmithing. She initially started as a street vendor living at an inn, but by early 2023 she had saved enough to purchase a proper house on the 48th floor in Lindarth, which she named "Lisbeth's Smith Shop." The shop, equipped with a full workshop and waterwheel, became known for exceptional quality work and Lisbeth's fierce personality that tolerated no disrespect for good craftsmanship.
  
  During this time, Lisbeth formed a close friendship with Asuna Yuuki, one of the frontline fighters and a member of the Knights of the Blood Oath guild. Despite their different roles—Asuna as a warrior, Lisbeth as a crafter—they bonded over their shared determination and strong personalities. Asuna would often visit Lisbeth's shop for equipment maintenance and repairs, and their conversations evolved from business transactions to genuine friendship. Their bond grew so strong that Asuna began affectionately calling her 'Liz,' starting a trend among their friend group.
  
  On June 24, 2024, Asuna visited Lisbeth's Smith Shop for maintenance on her rapier, Lambent Light. While carefully sharpening the blade, Lisbeth playfully teased her best friend about meeting someone special, listening as Asuna described this mysterious swordsman with obvious affection. Though she maintained her usual witty banter, Lisbeth secretly felt a sharp pang of envy watching Asuna's happiness. Her friend had found a potential boyfriend, and despite her tough exterior, Lisbeth found herself wondering if she would ever find someone who would care for her the way this person clearly cared for Asuna. The realization left her feeling unexpectedly vulnerable beneath her confident facade.
  
  Everything changed when Kazuto Kirigaya (Kirito) visited her shop, seeking a custom-made sword that could complement his unique dual-wielding style. Lisbeth was immediately intrigued—dual-wielding was thought to be impossible in SAO, yet this black-haired swordsman spoke of it with casual confidence. She offered her best sword, which was designed for speed. Shocked and angered when he accidentally broke her best sword while testing its durability versus the Elucidator, she vowed to create a weapon that would surpass his blade.
  
  Rather than being discouraged, Lisbeth felt her competitive spirit ignite. She persuaded Kirito to take her to the 55th Floor to obtain a rare mineral that could be used to forge an even stronger sword. Their expedition led them to a dangerous crystal dragon's nest deep in a pit, where the precious Crystallite Ingot lay guarded by a formidable beast. During the treacherous journey and terrifying battle, Lisbeth witnessed Kirito's incredible skill firsthand. Watching him fight with determination and grace, protecting her while facing a seemingly impossible foe, she developed unexpected romantic feelings. When Kirito defeated the crystal dragon and escorted her to safety, her feelings grew stronger. Their successful collaboration resulted in her forging the legendary Dark Repulser—a blade that perfectly matched Kirito's fighting style and became one of her proudest achievements.
  
  However, just as Lisbeth had gathered the courage to confess her newfound love to Kirito, Asuna arrived at the shop and interrupted the moment. In that instant, watching the way Kirito and Asuna talked to each other—the gentle tone in their voices, the soft expressions on their faces, the unconscious way they seemed to gravitate toward each other—Lisbeth realized with crushing clarity that they had mutual romantic feelings. Every glance they exchanged, every word they spoke, every subtle gesture revealed the depth of their connection. The pain of this realization was overwhelming—her best friend and the man she had fallen for were in love with each other. Heartbroken and unable to bear witnessing their obvious affection, Lisbeth ran away from her own shop. Kirito later found her at a riverbank, where he thanked her for the time they had spent together and for everything she had done for him. Despite her heartbreak, Lisbeth found the strength to welcome him back to her shop whenever he needed anything, choosing to preserve both her friendship with Asuna and her connection to Kirito rather than let her unrequited feelings destroy what mattered most to her.
  
  When SAO was finally cleared on November 7, 2024, Rika was 15 years old and had grown significantly as both a craftsperson and an individual. Her experiences in the death game had shaped her into a confident, loyal friend who valued her relationships above all else. After returning to the real world, she struggled initially with readjusting to normal life but found solace in reconnecting with her SAO friends and continuing her passion for virtual crafting.
  
  During the Fairy Dance Arc, which began on January 19, 2025, Rika learned about Asuna's imprisonment in Alfheim Online by Sugou Nobuyuki (Oberon), her former arranged fiancé, and was deeply concerned for her best friend's safety. When Asuna was finally freed in January 2025, Lisbeth was among the first to welcome her back. Understanding that Kirito and Asuna needed time to reconnect after their traumatic ordeals, she thoughtfully gave them space before reuniting with the group of SAO survivors on May 16, 2025 to celebrate the clearing of SAO. Their friendship grew even stronger through their shared experiences and mutual support.
  
  Starting in mid-2025, Rika began playing Alfheim Online as a Leprechaun, opening a new blacksmith shop in Yggdrasil City to continue providing top-quality equipment for her friends.
  
  During the Alicization Arc (June-August 2026), when Kirito's condition became critical and the Underworld faced invasion, Lisbeth converted her ALO account to help defend against the Dark Army alongside Asuna and other friends, proving her greatest strength lay in her fierce loyalty.
