Rika Shinozaki

Operating a blacksmith shop on Aincrad's 48th floor, this mace-wielding artisan is famous for crafting Asuna’s rapier, Lament Light. After Kirito requested a weapon rivaling his legendary Elucidator, she embarked on a quest for rare materials, a journey that ultimately revealed her deep-seated loneliness and longing for connection. Now a Leprechaun blacksmith in ALO, she continues her craft while seeking the warmth of companionship.
