Rita

Rita is one of the five main Jammbonian children on Jelly Jamm. She is a pink alien girl with short hair that has a small cowlick and a flower-print dress.

"One moment Rita is the model of a cute, little, well-mannered girl---sitting patiently dressing her favorite doll “Princess”. The next moment she’s using Princess to hammer a nail into the floor. Rita’s appetite for experience takes her from 0 to 60 in a millisecond, zooming past the caution signs.

Rita loves to pet Dodos sometimes a bit too firmly. Luckily, they are faster than her. She loves tea parties and playing with her doll princess. Her favorite people are the Queen and Bello. Those are the two she most aspires to be."

"Rita loves to pet Dodos, have tea parties and play with her doll princess. Her favorite people are the Queen and Bello because she wants to be just like them."

Short
"She loves to play with her doll, Princess. Though everyone sees her as like a little sister, she can act mature when she needs to be."

Long
"One minute Rita is a cute little well-behaved girl playing quietly with her doll Princess, and the next minute she is using her doll to nail the floor.

''In the blink of an eye, her "insatiable appetite for experience" sends her into a tailspin. She is, as they say, Mike Tyson in a skirt.''

''Her instinctive way of thinking allows her to make impossible adventures possible. It's possible without those around her even realizing it.''

''Rita, better than anyone, takes things as they come and learns from them. She is never nervous or overly prepared.''

''Can all of planet Jammbo, especially her friends, endure Rita's impact? Thankfully, Rita is very young, so she is easily attracted to shiny, colorful things. The dodos are one of them. Rita loves to hug the dodos. Sometimes she's a little too strong, but that's okay because dodos are fast.''

''If you feel like you're watching something that doesn't feel like Rita, it's because she's in her "space princess" mode. She is enjoying a tea party with her doll Princess. This is her true self and her happy place.''

Her favorite people are the Queen and Bello, and she adores them both."''

StarTimes
"Rita’s the youngest one, and just like young kids she tends to get overexcited and impulsive and it gets her into trouble, but she’s a sweetie-pie who just wants to catch one of those cute Dodos if they weren’t always running away from her."

Taiwanese
"Rita’s favorite things are adorable Dodos, afternoon tea parties, and playing with her doll Princess. Her favorite people are the Queen and Bello. Rita is naive and guilt-free, and has the innocent and pure heart of a young lady."

Personality
Rita appears to be the youngest of the main Jammbonian kids, and as per such, she has the most childish personality. She’s very particular about her interests - her most favorite things are royalty and princesses, playing with toys (especially her plush doll “Princess”), having pretend tea parties, the color pink, and most of all, Dodos. She loves Dodos so much that she even decorated her house with Dodo-themed decor! She’s rather simple and has the pure heart of the young girl that she is, and everybody views her as like their younger sister. It’s easy to amaze Rita. She is very bubbly, sweet, and polite most of the time. After all, the Queen is one of her greatest role models, and someday she wishes to be queen herself - so she must act in a way that is worthy of a queen. However, innocent Rita doesn’t quite understand the ways of the world that well. Her impulsive side causes her to often act without thinking, motivated by her own desires. In episodes like “I Want That Too” and “My Turn,” she is shown to be a bit selfish. From turning the entire planet pink in “One Note Universe” to bossing around her friends in “Queen Rita,” she often does not realize why the mistakes she makes are morally wrong. She is somewhat reliant on the others when she causes trouble brought on by her overall childishness. But Rita, being the chipper child she is, is like a sponge - she is quick to learn from her mistakes and once she learns why something she did was wrong, she usually doesn’t repeat the wrongs she committed.

Rita is also quite affectionate. She showers all her friends with lots of smiles, hugs Princess on a daily basis, and loves to pet the adorable Dodos to show her love for them. Sometimes she plays a bit rough around Dodos, though, and they flee from her - but this is just because she gets overly enthusiastic around them because she loves them so much.

Trivia

 * Rita is the only child in the original English version of Jelly Jamm to have a child actress portray her.
 * Her symbol in the end credits is a six-petaled, solid flower.
 * Rita is typically depicted with a neat band of teeth depicted as one solid halfcircle. However, in some episodes such as "Queen Rita" and "Operation: Save Jammbo," Rita's teeth are animated like Goomo's, displaying four halfcircle-shaped teeth, two on top and two on the bottom, with gaps in between them.
