Rita shared a similar childhood to Jona Basta, growing up as an orphan in Australia after losing her parents during the One Year War. During a school trip in UC.0079, she foresaw the occurrence of Operation British and which its failure will result in a colony hitting Sydney. She, along with her childhood friends Jona and Michele, was able to save an entire town by warning them of the upcoming tragedy. Due to this, the three became known as the "Miracle Children".
