;{{Nihongo|[[Rika Furude]]|古手梨花|Furude Rika}}

:Rika is a younger classmate in Keiichi's school, and is in the same grade level as Satoko. Naturally, she is great friends with her, as they live together in the same house. She is revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine, and plays the role of a [[Wikipedia:miko|miko]] in the annual [[Watanagashi Festival]]. She has been the head of the Furude house since her parents died, but rarely attends town meetings due to her young age. Rika occasionally uses nonsense words such as {{nihongo|''mii''|みぃ〜}} and {{nihongo|''nipah''|にぱ〜}}. She also likes to describe events using sound effects, such as "The cat was going 'nya nya' and 'scritch scritch'" or saying "Clap! Clap! Clap!" when clapping her hands.
