Risa Harada (原田梨紗 Harada Risa) is a character from the anime and manga series D.N.Angel. She is voiced by Masumi Asano in the Japanese version of the anime and by Luci Christian in the English dub. In the Wink drama CDs, she's voiced by Sakura Tange.
[edit] Brief Description
Risa Harada is the younger of twin sisters of whom Daisuke Niwa is in love with. However, she rejected him when he confessed to her on his 14th birthday. She sees him as nothing more than a friend, and thinks he is far too normal to be a potential boyfriend. She falls in love with Dark Mousy when she first viewed him on the television and continues to be smitten with him despite his blatant indifference to her. She is supposedly cuter than her sister Riku, and also has an ongoing friendly relationship with her. She wears her hair much longer, and acts more feminine than tomboy Riku. She can be a bit oblivious and quick to judge. There is a subtle intimacy between herself and Satoshi Hiwatari, although she still at present loves Dark. Later on in the series however, prior to her original rather shallow, self-absorbed personality; Risa grows into a more mature and stronger character, as her love for Dark evolves.
In the manga, Risa pursues Dark, coming up with insane schemes to get him to go out with her, which eventually work. However, Riku states that she cannot be with her, but that for one day she'll be hers alone. As in the manga, there seems to be a very subtle attraction between her and Satoshi Hiwatari, signified by little occurrences, such as he saving her when she falls off a building, or just simply touching a lock of her hair after Daisuke saves her from drowning. In the anime she exchanges glances with Satoshi in episode 26 prior to the final credits.
[edit] Appearance and Personality
She and Riku are twins, Risa being the younger of the two. She has her head up in the clouds more often than her sister does, and tends to be rather gullible. In the anime she relies on tarot cards for predictions of what her and her sister’s future brings, especially in regards to love. Throughout the series, she develops into a caring person who thinks about others.
