Currently, after making brief appearances since the AuthorAvatar arc, Rika was captured, along with several people--former and current allies with the group, by a few of the Rahkshi and tortured by Freddy Krueger. She was eventually saved, but she ended up being captured by Lucrezia and turned into a Revenant (no alias included). She and Catherine/Lunara Knight lost to the heroes, and she was freed from the curse.

In the Witches' Game arc, Victoria attempted to quit, but she...went crazy when she was in prison. When freed, she continued to play the game...but she grew weak in the end and died. Catherine, determined to bring her daughter back to life, revived her with the Amulet of Life-Saving. Despite this, Victoria left the group for an unknown period of time, currently living in Lrith's world.

* OutOfFocus: Out of all the Graysons, with the exception of Andreus, Victoria has the least screentime. As a result, her negativity was unfortunately shown more than anything else.

Out of all the characters that the troper played, Rika is the comic relief, as she never worries about drama and remains cheerful and upbeat. However, she does strive to be just as important as her fellow teammates. There are times where she loses all cheerfulness, though, as it happened first with the conclusion of Pikadevil's Hell when she vowed to restore Carter/Catherine's soul into her body.

In the Pokemon arc, Rika became a Togekiss, remaining in that form for all of it. She even became one of Xenos's Pokemon, and despite it, she was treated more like a human than a Pokemon, even having a liking for getting petted. However, in the AuthorAvatar arc, she had her Author powers restored and was turned human, the only Author allowed to defeat Helmut. She eventually succeeded against Helmut, but at the cost of losing the Tectrixcalibur, the weapon that was supposed to be used to defeat the Writer. Despite this, she made a few retcons, and she became a Togekiss again...but she doubted that she was really a hero.

Currently, after making brief appearances since the AuthorAvatar arc, Rika is captured, along with several people--former and current allies with the group, by a few of the Rahkshi and tortured by Freddy Krueger. She was eventually saved, but she ended up being captured by Lucrezia and turned into a Revenant (no alias included). She and Catherine/Lunara Knight lost to the heroes, and she was freed from the curse.

Rika/Rico has since retired from the group, however, and is presumably at her/his home dimension.

* {{Fangirl}}: Is she so.

!!!!'''Tropes Applying to Rico'''

!!!!'''Tropes Applying to Both Characters'''

* BigEater
** BalloonBelly: Gained one during the Pokemon arc as a result of overeating.
*** Carter actually had to work it off, unlike most other examples of the Trope.
** And then it happened again when she was briefly a personification of Gluttony. However, even after the spell ended, she was happy with her gained weight. This happens a lot more often than not for her anymore, though.

* CatchPhrase: See above.

* FaceHeelTurn: In the Pokemon arc, after Sabrina called her out for hating Zubat, Carter/Catherine joined Team Rocket. [[strike:Time will tell if she will remain one of the villains.]] She may have, but she flat-out crossed the MoralEventHorizon, causing her teammates to snap her out of it and get rid of something that brainwashed her, thus reverting her back to her normal self.

* {{Immortality}}: Despite the old age, ''completely averted.'' Catherine can die like any regular person.
* [[spoiler:InterspeciesRomance: Carter's, er...romance with Takoluka at one point.]] Put in spoilers because ''it's that very {{Squick}}y.'' A less Squicky and more recent example would be the turtle Cryshell, but that also didn't last.

* ScrewYourself: When he was still Catherine, he took fertility drugs instead of a headache medicine thanks to [[SixthRanger Ryan Mitchell]]'s prank. The pills screwed up with his reproductive system, ending up pregnant with Michael.
* [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl Silver Haired Pretty Girl]]. In her true form, he's the [[WhiteHairedPrettyBoy Silver Haired Pretty Old Guy]].

* {{Wangst}}: Part of the CharacterDerailment. And when her children suffered from it...their Wangsting was pretty much InTheBlood. Luckily, recently, she got much, ''much'' better.

''Tropes Applying to Rico''

''Tropes Applying to Both Characters''

* [[NamesTheSame Name's The Same]]: Shares his name with the archangel Michael. As proven in DisneyDeath, it was a BerserkButton for the latter.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Remember when Lip was mentioned? Due to [[CreatorBreakdown the incident]], all mentionings of her, up to and including the [[DarthWiki/WallBanger "mother-in-spirit"]] moments, are gone. Likewise, his "fairy form" was gone as well.

During the Revenge Arc, the Rangerslayer upgraded into a different look: Neo-Rangerslayer. This form is a lot more brutal, and it eventually took Lip's tears to change him back to normal. After that, he blamed himself and felt guilty over what he did, but he got better.

* {{Berserk Button}}/{{Papa Wolf}}: Try to insult his mother or Lip. Michael will [[{{Understatement}} not be too happy]].

* PhysicalGod: Averted. Rika/Rico is, so far, the only AuthorAvatar who isn't a God or something close/similar to it, [[{{Retcon}} Ultimate Retcon]] notwithstanding. WordOfGod (no pun intended) stated that she would never make her/him one. YourMileageMayVary as to whether it's a good thing or not.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In both the Him and Terumi arcs, she would have been the peacemaker of the group, trying to keep them from killing themselves. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. [[ItGotWorse It gets worse]]--it would have been one of the moments where her character would be positively developed. WordOfGod officially decided to never make her TheHeart ever again because of it, due to many other characters worthy of being it and keeping it consistent more than her.

* PhysicalGod: Averted. Rika/Rico is, so far, the only AuthorAvatar who isn't a God or something close to it. WordOfGod (no pun intended) stated that she wouldn't make her/him one.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the Him arc, she would have been the peacemaker of the group, trying to keep them from killing themselves. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. [[ItGotWorse It gets worse]]--it would have been one of the moments where her character would be positively developed.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: If we ultimately list the number of times he's turned from good to bad and then back again, we'd be here all day.
* HeroicSacrifice: After [[ShamanKing Yoh]] lost to Joey Wheeler, the Seal of Orichalcos activated to take his soul. Matt floated into the seal and pushed Yoh out, making sure that he would be captured instead. Also, when he fused with the Retconinator, he allowed Xenos, Yuri, and Zawman to kill him.

* GenderBender: Her male form, Rico.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Rico decides to break up with Catherine once Kotohime appears, thinking that she deserves her more. [[spoiler:And despite an argument, he was right, as they got back together.]]

* FailureHero: Was this for a freakishly long time. Her victory in the Lord English arc, however, may reverse it.

Eventually, Catherine's former role as leader was put to the test after [[PowerpuffGirls Him]] planned to break the group. After Ty's particularly brutal death and the argument that ensued, she told them that it happened, they would learn from their mistakes, and they would have to move on. She decided that she would help them try not to kill each other by giving friendship speeches, reminding them--repeatedly--[[{{Nakama}} what they are]], while keeping her own sanity, ego, and personality in check.

[[caption-width-right:100:...then in her Gundam Girl form...]]

[[caption-width-right:100:...and as the Lunara Knight]]

* MakingASplash: As the ghost of the ocean (and later when she was revived), Catherine has water-based attacks.

* SuperpowerLottery: Oh, ''God.'' Between her different forms (the Lunara Knight, her human form, her Ditto form, and her [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch]] form--among others), she can use a crapload of powers. The things that haven't made her a GodModeSue include her sometimes-uncontrollable spurts of power, her behavior, and the fact that some people don't like her.
* SuperMode: His Trans-Armor Cycle, of course, but only when he morphs into the Red Lightspeed Ranger.
* {{Wangst}}: Part of the CharacterDerailment. And when her children suffer from it...their Wangsting is pretty much InTheBlood. It has since mellowed down, however.

After a long time being out of action for the most part--save for a few heroic actions, Catherine returned in the second AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent arc. In it, she awoke in Amise City, powerless and later gaining new allies--one of which was her biggest fan, Linkara. When she finally reunited with the old group, the hostilities seemed to flare up until, [[{{AssPull}} somehow]], she gained some sort of clarity of the world around her. And she also became blind, but that didn't bother her at all. With her gaining a pacifist attitude and the aforementioned clarity, learning her mistakes, becoming a queen in Marinera (no, seriously), ''actually winning in battles'', and raising an Other of Red named "Christine" as of now along with demigod grandson Andreus, perhaps she is getting better after all...

* BiTheWay

* BiTheWay

* CoolBike: The Lightspeed Cycle.

* LesYay: With Kotohime and later Cryshell. They didn't last.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The Lunara Knight. After defecting to the group, though, it was kept and used for good.

* {{Wangst}}: Part of the CharacterDerailment. And when her children suffer from it...their Wangsting is pretty much InTheBlood.
* [[WeaponOfChoice Weapons of Choice]]
** As the Red Lightspeed Ranger: his Thermo Blaster and his V-Lancer. He used to have his Rescue Blaster, but he gave it up because he thought that it would be too weak for him to use as the story would go on.
** As the Lunara Knight: the Mirror Shot, the Lunar Blaster, and the Lunar Sword.

* LesYay: With Kotohime and later Cryshell, though the latter was not going to happen.

After the adventures, she trained with the Graysons and Andros in a rotating style, until the latter had the bright idea to use her for a particularly powerful foe. Said foe turned the Togekiss back into a human, something she wouldn't forget. Nowadays, aside from helping out, she would have...a rather interesting relationship--no, not a love one--with Catherine.

* MarshmallowHell: First given to Kouji in his genderbent form as revenge, then did it just because to him, intentionally gives such a hug to Cryshell, and...[[{{Understatement}} Needless to say, she likes it.]]

* [[PlotRelevantAgeUp Plot Relevant Age]] ''[[SubvertedTrope Down]]'': After using an aging spell, Catherine now looks 16.
