Ringo Noyamano (Air Gear)

Ringo Noyamano (野山野 林檎, Noyamano Ringo) is successor of Sleeping Forest and the Thorn Queen, of the Sonia Road. She is a second generation gravity child and the only one completely unaffected by pressure in the Trophaeum due to the pressure which the Sonia Road exerts on the user's body, leading to her being undefeated there. Her Sonia Road gives her graceful and deadly agility that eventually takes its toll on her body, except when inside of the 'forest' of Trophaeum. She is in love with Ikki, but she is unable to relay her feelings. This also makes it hard for her to fulfill her purpose as Sleeping Forest's leader while supporting Ikki. She helps Kogarasumaru in times of trouble under the guise of Croissant Mask, even coming to Kogarasumaru's aid when it was revealed that Ikki's negligence had prevented the team from registering.

Riley Steele (1987- )

Riley Steele (1987- )

Riley Steele (born August 26, 1987) is an American pornographic actress.

Steele grew up in Escondido, California, United States, and before starting her adult film career worked at Starbucks and at a golf course snack bar. In 2005, being a huge fan of pornographic films herself, Riley Steele travelled all the way to Hollywood just for the signing for Pirates, where she met some of her favorite stars, including her personal hero, Jesse Jane. Jane advised her she could easily get into the adult film business herself, and gave Steele her card. From that, Steele contacted Joone, the founder of Digital Playground, who signed her to an exclusive contract that same day. Her first scene was in the 2008 film Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, in which she also co-starred with Jane. In January 2011, she co-hosted the AVN Awards.

Steele appeared in the 3D horror film Piranha 3D as Crystal, a minor role.

In 2011, she appeared in TV Series: Life on Top and NTSF:SD:SUV.

In July 2012, Riley Steele announced her very brief retirement from porn along with fellow Digital Playground contract sister BiBi Jones, both citing unfulfilled promises by the adult industry. She later explained that this had been a joke which she had not expected people to take seriously. She said she passionately loved the adult industry, along with all her co-stars, and was enjoying herself far too much to ever think about quitting.

She also appears as the supporting character Kaylie on the HBO/Cinemax series The Girl's Guide to Depravity.

Rico (リコ)

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.

Life

¶ Every morning, when I wake up, the first thought I have is: “I wonder if I still have my body.” What a relief! It still works. I can't describe in words how wonderful it is to have a body that works. I love my life at the Social Welfare Agency very much.
