Rika is notably insecure about her adolescent body despite how long she has lived. The [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (manga)|manga]] often uses this as comic relief when Rika compares her own breast size to that of [[Miyo Takano]].
| plot =
For the first few chapters of {{higurashi}}, Rika largely appears as a secondary character while [[Keiichi Maebara]] serves as the main character. As Rika's connection to [[the curse of Oyashiro]] is made more apparent, she becomes a significantly more important character.
=== Hinamizawa Bus Stop ===▼
Rika is one of only two ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'' characters to appear in the non-canon ''[[Hinamizawa Bus Stop]]'', the other being [[Mion Sonozaki]]. Rika appears much older than in her canon appearance and is more prone to emotional outbursts. Rika remains the host of the "parent insect" that is said to worsen the effects of [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. Initially, Rika works with the Ministry of Health and Welfare to select a new host to transplant the parent insect into, seeing as Rika is too frail to continue being its host. Rika selects Mion for transplant, but later changes her mind. Rika is much more violent than in her canon appearance, and threatens to kill Mion if the Ministry of Health and Welfare comes after her.▼
===Watanagashi-hen ===▼

Rika serves as the protagonist of ''Minagoroshi-hen'' wherein she reveals her ability to travel between parallel worlds. At the end of ''Minagoroshi-hen'', Rika discovers that her killer in every fragment is [[Miyo Takano]]. In order to ensure that she remembers this information in future fragments, Rika requests that Miyo disembowel her while she is awake instead of knocking her out first.▼

After escaping the loops of Hinamizawa in {{matsuribayashi}}, Rika decides to study for the entrance exams for [[St. Lucia Academy]] and recruits [[Satoko Houjou]], hoping the two can join the Academy together. After a year and a half of studying, the pair are successfully admitted and begin attending classes in 1987. Rika manages to fit in among a group of high-society students, however Satoko struggles both socially and academically, leading her to grow jealous and spiteful towards Rika. When the two return to Hinamizawa to visit their old friends, Satoko encounters the being [[Eua]], who grants Satoko abilities similar to Rika's. Satoko begins to use her power to prevent Rika from ever leaving Hinamizawa.▼

Rika appears as a hidden antagonist in {{mei}}. She is a tsukuyami who had been masquerading as the original Rika for much of the story. She fuses with [[Hanyuu]] and becomes the boss of Chapter 8. This version of Rika has the power to rewrite people's memories and control villagers who are in the terminal stages of [[Hinamizawa Syndrome]]. This version of Rika retains the memories of original Rika and believes that she had been looping in Hinamizawa for 100 years until the events of ''Matsuribayashi-hen''. Several months after escaping the loops, her friends were slaughtered by monsters. Discouraged from attempting to jump fragments again, Rika sought to destroy the village herself rather than continue her suffering.}}

*Rika Furude is strongly connected to [[Frederica Bernkastel]], the mysterious writer of each poem opening ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni''.
