Ringo Tatara

Ringo Tatara (多々良 りんご, Tatara Ringo) is a character in Battle in 5 Seconds After Meeting series. She is a third year high schooler and her ability allows her to copy 1/10th of the power of someone else ability.

Appearance
Ringo is young short girl. She has a black medium long hair and wears glasses.

Despite being older than him, Akira mistook her for a much younger girl due to her height.

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 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 opponents 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 for Ringo not even trying as she doesn't want to loose, Saeko Zokumyoin manages to calm her down explaining she will win her fight.

Ringo feels a relief that Rin didn't kill her. In reality her ability copies 1/10th of the power of the opponents ability and she do knows what their ability is, but seeing 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 originals. 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 invisible 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.
