Relationships[]

Julio Asuka Misurugi[]

Once Julio ascended as emperor of the Empire of Misurugi, Riza became his close confidant. In addition she was also his lover and mother figure. On the occasions that she made love to him, she revealed her DRAGON heritage to him, but Julio was unaware of her heritage due to Riza drugging him. Riza appears to care little of Julio only using Julio to further her own goals to save Aura.

Sylvia Ikaruga Misurugi[]

After being given to Sylvia as her personal slave, Embryo informed her of part in Julio's death and how she forced-fed her a drug to make her forget that she was a DRAGON. Sylvia eager to punish the 'lizard bitch' reduced Riza to a dog. She made the older woman crawl naked in shackles and forced her to wear a muzzle to prevent her from using her hypnotic roar. Sylvia punished her for the slightest infraction as shown when she whipped Riza to the ground for bringing the wrong encyclopedia volume in the library. Riza despite her humiliation continued to show her defiance, glaring at her tormentor. However despite her cruel treatment under Sylvia she chose not to seek revenge instead of prioritizing Embryo's fall. Even when targeted with a rifle by Sylvia she couldn't help feel pity for the girl.
