Ringo Tatara is a video game enthusiast. Before being captured by the organization, she spent her time playing the game "World Logic Play". She has a calm and shy character. She is not very strong in combat but manages to hold her own in difficult situations. She is very intelligent, and of a benevolent nature will do anything to defend her relatives and friends, despite fear and shyness

Plot
When Mion explains the rules and that the people are there to participate in a test, she turns to Ringo calling her student committee chairman and wonders if she has questions, but Ringo doesn't reply.

During the second program, Ringo is teamed with four other people and they need to fight 1 on 1 against another team of five. Ringo's opponent is Shin Kumagiri. When the match starts, Shin rushes at her, but seeing Ringo rising her hand, he stops, but to his surprise she admits defeat. She explains to her teammates that her ability is to copy the opponent's ability, but as she did, nothing happened and she figured it must be some special ability which she doesn't know how it works and in a physical fight she can never win against the pro wrestler Shin. Rin Kashii gets angry with Ringo for not even trying as she doesn't want to lose and starts strangling her. Saeko Zokumyoin manages to calm Rin down, explaining she will win her fight.

Ringo feels relieved that Rin didn't kill her. In reality, her ability copies 1/10th of the power of the opponent's ability and she does know what their ability is, but seeing that Shin's ability makes him invincible for 2 seconds, she knew it would only last 0.2 seconds for her which she found impossible to use and decided to give up.

 * Description: Copying 1/10th of the other person's ability.
 * This ability copies the ability of a target the user chooses. Upon doing so the user learns what the ability they copied is. The ability copied is one-tenth of the original. However, that doesn't just mean that its power is one-tenth, but all attributes are. For example, if an ability is copied that fires projectiles then the strength of the projectiles is one-tenth of the original. However, the time lag between firing two projectiles is also just one-tenth. If Ringo were to copy an ability that is like a cannon, her copy would be more like a pistol.
 * How she thinks her ability works:
 * Focusing on a target and activating her ability tells her what the target's ability is.
 * She may only copy the ability at a tenth of its power.
 * Because she can only copy a tenth of the ability (e.g. if the ability is "become invincible for 2 seconds", she'll become invincible for 0.2 seconds), she mainly others abilities.
 * She believes her ability is weak but has yet to realize its value.
