Abilities:
As an idol Rise is definitely someone who can do many different things. An idol in Japan is someone who can do the following things:
- Sing
- Dance
- Act and
- Model
She could if it was needed to do a combo of those thing since this is what she has learnt to do since becoming an idol. They aren't anything outstanding but they make part of who she is.
Personality:
With the main character, Rise definitely is obvious in how she feels and how she acts. She will flirt and go up to him more closely than she would the others in that way and in some cases such as during her Social Link she even goes as far as to joke about when she finished school of them getting married. She definitely cares about him and in a way this is how she shows it. Not in the same way she would everyone else however. But sometimes being so bold as to do the things she does during the game also shows that sometimes she does her actions on purpose and right in front of the others for one reason or another, especially in front of the other girls.
But in this case her acting the way she does shows a certain closeness to all her team mates since at the time it was a side of her that she hadn't shown anyone what her 'true' personality was at the time, where as she was accepted as who she was by the others and not just who she was as Risette; something she had wanted since she was a young child and became an idol.
As noted in Rise's actions can be quite bold they were especially bold in the inns baths. She went right up to her to compliment her on her skin; the first girl to do so before the others joined in. It can show that by doing this she is comfortable in her actions around the girls.
At times she can also be rather playful such as the time she came up with King Game for them to play. She thought it would be a fun game to try out in that type of situation and even though she was 'drunk' from the atmosphere of the place she was still playful enough to come up with ideas that were harmless but quite awkward.
Her thoughts when it came to her becoming in idol were simple. She believes that she could make friends unlike what happened before since being an idol everyone would see you so she was sure she could make friends. Her expectations and reality were two very different things. She mentions she made friends, but not friends who could see who she really was and instead were just simply friends with the personality 'they' created; Risette. This made her feel like she really hadn't accomplished what she had wanted in the first place and her life as an idol soon lead her to more insecurities about her true self and the fact that she felt like what she had become wasn't that.
She simply feared that people would only care about her as the idol Risette and not want to get to know her as who she believed she was, which at the time she probably didn't even know herself because of her life as an idol.
During her Social Link we start off with her still believing that she didn't want to go back into the life of an idol, feeling as if she wouldn't be her real self. As the time went on and her Social Link developed you start to see that she slowly starts to change her mind once she starts to realize that in all honesty it was a life that she liked and that she could show her true self and not just one part of who she was her 'idol' self.
To start off with it seemed like however that she simply wanted to leave and not come back, even telling the manager no a few times before he told her about working for a new idol and the manager pointing out that she can learn fast, adapt to new situations well and have a smile that could be as weak or strong as it needed to be. When this event occurs Rise starts to cry, not really understanding why she was doing so. But she mentions however that she had her friends and that she didn't lose everything pointing towards the fact that she felt like she had lost something.
But by the time the social link ends and towards the end of the game, she had accepted that it's just a part of her and she hoped she could get back into the business showing that she had changed from someone who was really determined not to, to someone who had accepted that being an idol really was just a apart of who she is as a whole and not accepting it wouldn't be true to her self.
Like everyone, Rise too has her faults such as during an omelette cooking contest it showed that Rise can be quite competitive when she wants to. This could in a way be why she is so bold as to be close to the protagonist while the girls are there. She is also someone who as mentioned in an exam study session about asking why she needed to learn another language when she could just get someone else to do it for her. Another fault would be the fact that sometimes she could get jealous sometimes of others, such as her replacement in the film she was suppose to do originally, but it's not something that shows up a lot.
Lastly while she has managed to get over her insecurities of what or who her true self is, doesn't mean that at one point or another she won't get insecure about something again, that is what makes her human. She isn't perfect but she at least tries to get over what weaknesses she may have even if she might not always in the future.
