Rico (リコ)

Voiced by: Kanako Mitsuhashi (Gunslinger Girl) Anri Shiono (Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino) (Japanese), Luci Christian (English)

Confined to a hospital by severe birth defects, Rico was signed over by her parents to the SWA on her eleventh birthday. Rico loves her new body and life at the SWA, viewing each day as a blessing and maintaining a happy disposition. Rico appears to be the only cyborg with a clear memory of her life before coming to the SWA. At his own request she shoots through an very nearly kills Jean, who was being used as a shield by Dante, in order to kill Dante (although he also survives). In the final chapter, twenty years after the capture of Giacomo Dante, her photo is seen sitting on Jean's desk, implying that although she will have died within a few years of the New Turin incident, he has never forgotten her.

Rico's preferred weapons are the CZ-75 pistol and the Dragunov SVD. In chapter 79 she wields a FN SCAR with a CQC barrel and chambered in 7.62 NATO. She has also been shown wielding a Beretta SCP-70/90 and is additionally shown training with a SIG SG 551 carbine and a Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun. Her preferred support weapon is the MG 3 general purpose machine gun.
