backstory: Ricassandra - or Rica as she more commonly known - was born and raised in Zamboanga City, Philippines to a quite well-off family. Her mother being a clinical pharmacist and her father an architect-engineer. As such it could be said that Rica is a bit spoiled although she had managed to tone it down by a lot. As a young child, Rica had always been on the intelligent which made up for the lack of her physical strength. She had skipped 2 grades and her classmates are always a few months, a year or two older than she is.

As the years passed by, Rica's mind became more and more adept in analyzing and formulating strategies even in the simplest of things. However, her physical strength had always remained average - nothing extraordinary. She was 8 when her interest in volleyball sparked, and she had joined the school's volleyball team but only as the manager. From there, she had became familiar with the rules of the sport, the techniques, the positions and everything she needed to know. In theories of the sport, Rica did well however she cannot execute them well. For a year, ahe had undergone a harsh training wherein her physical strength was pushed to its limits. Of course it was hard but she is determined to be able to play the sport that she became obssessed with. She was in her last year of grade school when she been able to play volleyball with the team. With her analytic and strategic skills, Rica made a great setter. With those skills, she and her team mates had clinched their first championship title. Since then, she had been part of the school's volleybal team as their setter.

Every summer vacation, the Venturina/Bang family would go to South Korea to spend time with their relatives. During one of those vacations, she had met Jongdae who became her best friend. When he had debuted, Rica did her best to support him whether it be buying their albums, going to their concerts if she has time or by just simply supporting him.

She graduated college in June 2015 with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. Along with her team mates, they went to South Korea for a vacation. It was during one of their trips in Seoul that Rica had been scouted by Big Hit and JYP Entertainment. She had auditioned to both but was later on rejected by JYP and accepted by Big Hit.

personality: In terms of describing Rica, comparing her to a daphne is the closest thing that could accurately pinpoint who she is. She looks so innocent, so beautiful but she is very deadly, very poisonous.

Rica is someone who carefully hides her true self beneath different masks which comprises of more masks. She had carefully woven the personas that will protect herself so that others will not be able to see the real her.

Like the appearance of a Daphe, Rica is very charismatic. She tends to attract people even without meaning it to. She is very angelic and quite motherly. She is very caring, very understanding and quite gentle. She is also patient but is very strict and stubborn with her beliefs. She is clingy but affectionate. She is quite prideful though and does not easily forgive not does she forgets.

Like the properties of a daphne's petals, Rica has a dark side - like her personality had taken a 180-degree spin.When she is pushed towards her limits, she unleashes what other's called 'Satan's reincarnate'. She became possessive, too protective and almost yandere-like. She has thing for getting even or better, inflicting something much worse than what she had experienced - especially in a psychological sense.

To hold to the ground, she has neutral traits such as being analytical, strategic and observant and knowing how to mask her emotions well. She is very observant thus, her mind is wired in analyzing the simplest of things. As a psychologist, Rica is very good at reading people and to an extent, she knows and she can predict what they're feeling and what they're thinking based on their behaviors. She is also sensitive - gets offended easily and takes things to heart and cries easily.

stage personality: In front of the stage, Rica limits herself towards her outer persona. She shows that she is affectionate and a flirt and very caring and motherly even towards their fans. She shows a bit of negative emotions such as being sad, crying, clinginess.
