Synopsis
Rika Shinozaki, known in Sword Art Online as Lisbeth, starts out as a street vendor before training as a blacksmith and opening her own shop in the town of Lindarth. Hardworking and proud of her craft, she takes real offense when Kirito accidentally breaks one of her finest swords, and does not hesitate to grab him by the collar over it.
Friendly and easy to get along with despite her temper, Lisbeth forges a lasting bond with Kirito while crafting him a new blade, and briefly develops feelings for him before settling into a close, teasing friendship instead. She is fiercely loyal to the people in her circle and just as quick to snap at anyone who disrespects her skill.
After Sword Art Online is cleared, Lisbeth continues her craft in ALfheim Online as a Leprechaun blacksmith, remaining part of the same tight-knit group of friends as Silica and Suguha in the Girls' Ops side stories.
