Rise is inherently extroverted, drawing strength and energy from her friends and the bonds she shares with those around her. She tends to be always cheerful, outspoken and very sweet. She often comes across as confident and bold possessing the courage to flirt with others and tease her friends in a kind hearted manner. Rise struggles with loneliness, she finds being alone to be difficult and greatly values the bonds of friendship. Naturally like everyone she appreciates some alone time, but without communication, contact or otherwise seeing her friends Rise rapidly starts to fall apart, feeling weaker and significantly depressed.
Rise is quickly frustrated by things, the smaller they are the faster she gets upset by them. This at times has resulted in her crying about stuff which most others would not cry over. This tends to be especially true for Rise if it is something others can do and she is unable to do. Rise is also naturally competitive, eager to win any challenge. Rise in a competition is a lot less sweet, tending to mock or jibe her opponents though usually in a friendly manner. She is always quick to apologise for things, even if they are not her fault. While clever, this intelligence has never really appeared in her education, her only real talent being her musical ability and skill.
Rise's talent for cooking is non existent, her mother and grandmother might be an incredible cooks... But Rise's skills are liable to make someone ill at worst or at best her food is completely uneatable.
Rise was a rising music icon however she took a step away from the music world in order to focus on her studies as well as for health reasons (mental health issues). Unfortunately for Rise and the world, she is stressed out, burnt out and otherwise exhausted. To make matters worse, she does not know if the Rise the world loves is the real her or the stage crafted version. She feels she has lost her individuality, her identity and her sense of self.
She is naturally perceptive, tending to notice when things are not right with others, especially her friends. Rise supports her friends through these difficult times for them, regardless of her own problems, helping her friends and offering any aid she can. Not many people are aware of her mischievous and considerably playful side, often backed up with generous amounts of sass. Rise is passionate and cares deeply for her friends, always being there for them. If anyone of them is in danger or trouble, she would not hesitate to do anything to help them.
Rise does not have a good relationship with the rest of her family however. Her two older sisters dislike her because her sudden fame has overshadowed them, her father never approved of her love of music and is embittered over the fact his attempt to convince Rise to stop with the music backfired on him. It was her father who signed her up for a televised talent show, which Rise won easily, this led to several contracts and plenty of albums. Her mother does not like that Rise chose to walk away from the music world.
Due to difficulties with her family, Rise lives with her grandmother in Musutafu, attending a regular school there. She is much closer to her grandmother than anyone else in her family, seeing her as a mother figure. In Musutafu, Rise also encountered her best friend in the whole world when she started at her new school, Yukiko Kawahara.

Rise Karbowski, never had it easy. She was born quirkless and was to make matters worse, entirely unexpected. There is a fifteen year age gap between Rise and her two older sisters, so she never really developed a close bond with either of them. Her mother, was never particularly warm to Rise, though she did like her daughter's talent for singing, however it was her grandmother who encouraged her to pursue her dreams.
Naturally musically talented, Rise much to her father's disappointed expressed from an early age to want to be a singer and make it in the music world. Rise practised constantly in the hopes of living her dream one day, if music was the only thing she was good at then she intended to be the best. Yet her father disapproved and to this end, he decided to try and crush the dream by signing her up to a televised talent show in the hopes that her failure would make her focus on her studies instead of music. However Rise easily won the competition at age fourteen, resulting in a music deal where she worked alongside a professional world famous singer and became a protege of sorts. Her triumph however significantly damaged her already fractured relationship with father and the two never managed to recover from it. Her victory spawned a best selling album that sold millions of copies world wide and led on to several more albums, three tours and dozens of smash hit singles.
During her childhood, Rise was a shy and incredibly lonely child one that sadly nobody had any high expectations or hopes of her. Due to this shyness, she was an easy target for bullies. This remained the case until her father submitted her application to the talent show, which she won. It is perhaps ironically when examining her past that her original motivation to win was in the hope of becoming popular. Armed with this popularity Rise would have more friends. However Rise realised that these new 'friends' are not interested in her only in her fame. Her fame also had the negative effect of distancing her from her former friends, this left Rise feeling increasingly isolated and alone in the world. The pressure of everything began to get to her, Rise released several albums as well as had three tours over a three year stretch. Yet she realised she needed to take a step back as the feelings of isolation had begun to manifest as depression.
Naturally her family were disappointed and disapproved of her choice to walk away from everything in order to focus on her studies. Though Rise plans to return after finishing education, she believes she needed the time to recover mentally and heal. Her grandmother was the only one who supported her choice to take a step back and refocus, so it came as no real surprise that Rise chose to live with her in Musutafu.
An ordinary quirkless individual, Rise chose to attend Tatsumi High, a school famous for it's arts and musical department. They were all too happy to have Rise among their students. It was on her first day at Tatsumi that she encountered Yukiko and the pair rapidly forged a close friendship. It is to Yukiko that Rise expressed a desire to return to music but after education as she wants to come to terms with who she is and her place in the world.
