* HiddenDepths: It's implied she is a movie buff considering how many of her questions to possible boyfriends revolve around movies, like whether they watch the credits and how she considers watching a movie at 2x speed a deal breaker. That being said, chapter 45 sees she kill another assassin when he turns out to be too snobbish of a movie fan who doesn't want to hear people eating popcorn and dislikes people bringing their kids to the theater.

* BrokenAce: Played for laughs. Rita is a legendary assassin with near-superhuman athletic and sharpshooting skills that allows her to put down almost any killer-for-hire that tries to attack Kindergarten Noir. Unfortunately for her, this results in a MurderIsTheBestSolution mindset that causes her to kill any potential boyfriends due to not meeting her ridiculously high standards for a romantic partner. Despite all these potential boyfriends being ruthless assassins that WouldHurtAChild, this habit causes Rita no shortage of grief throughout the series and she acts as though all these kills were dates she horribly botched.
Added DiffLines:
* SkewedPriorities: It should be noted how Rita is generally more upset about a latest prospective boyfriend turning out to be less than adequate for what she considers a perfect partner rather than how a deadly assassin had come close to hurting a toddler in her care.
