Rita currently lives on Xuxia, migratikng between it's many moons, and the surface planet itself for her job as a propogater of fauna that is considered endangered on any planet.
Being orphaned at a young age, Rita grew up on the Onoian moons, adopted by a sweet elderly couple. This got her used to the atmospheres in space, and the uniqueness of imported fauna through the moon's borders are what shaped her career today. She still keeps in contact with her childhood friend Abrl, who grew up in the same pod as her.
Rita is slowly breaking out of her shell, after her encounter during the Pale Flame quest, she's embraced a more nnomadic lifestyle, reaching out to more than just her comfort people, and exploring the vast system ahead of her. But damn, nothing beats the goth bars on Xuxia, she always comes back home.
