Suzuri Uchida
A loud, overly enthusiastic girl who doesn’t seem to get along with many people at first sight.
Suzuri meets Rin and Shouko for the first time at the cafeteria of their university, where she quickly recognizes Rin as Rin Ogata, a once phenomenal dancer and also daughter of the late prima ballerina Yuki Ogata. She exclaims to be a huge fan of both, and continues to be clingy from there on. After following Rin and Shouko into the RideBack club, she also starts to spend more time with the members and quickly befriends them.
Following the results of Rin’s outrageous first ride, Suzuri wants to follow in the footsteps of her idol, and also tries to learn riding a RideBack, but it ends without much avail; she simply doesn’t seem to have the talent and balance Rin has. Despite this hardship, she continues to practice in secret and promises herself to get better. And even though she deeply admires Rin’s efforts, she’d much rather see her dance again.
When the GGP decides to take over from the government in terms of combating terrorism, they put a ban on all RideBacks in the possession of citizens, which brings around a huge protest. Suzuri and the male club members join the uproar, and as Suzuri participates on a RideBack, she is being mistaken for the mysterious RideBack girl. This ‘discovery’ quickly attracts the attention of GGP’s army of White Ridebacks, and while the crowd flees in panic, Suzuri tries to escape on her own. On her way she crosses paths with the monorail Rin and Tamayo are in, as they have succesfully escaped, Suzuri enlightens at the sight of them, and exclaims her wish for Rin to dance again. Only moments later things take a turn for the worse, when her path is being blocked by a soldier on a White Rideback, who without any remorse, kills her with one horrific strike. Rin and Tamayo are left in shock and horror, as their monorail drives on.
Rin later concludes that it’s as if Suzuri died in spite of their regrets.
