Meet Karatachi Nijika, also known as Rain in the various VR games she plays. Nijika is a Sword Art Online game original character and was first introduced in the second game in the SAO game timeline, Lost Song, as a Leprechaun.

Due to the divorce of their parents, Nijika was separated from her younger sister, the world famous genius Nanairo Arshavin, early in their childhood and moved from Russia to Japan with her mother. As one of the 10.000 victims of Sword Art Online's floating castle Aincrad, she met Kikuoka Seijirou and asked for information on her younger sister after the incident.

Having learned that her sister, also known as the idol songstress Seven in VR worlds, could be found in the world of ALfheim Online, she donned her virtual avatar Rain once again to get closer to her sister. She joined Seven's guild Shamrock but was soon expelled by Seven's assistant Sumeragi under false accusations. Having lost the chance to approach Seven as an ally, Rain started looking for other strong parties that would contest Shamrock in the Grand Quest of ALO's Svart ALfheim expansion, singling out Kirito's party in a short time.

The more Rain followed Kirito's group in secrecy, the easier Kirito spotted and welcomed her each time, eventually convincing her to join the group properly. However, Rain's story aroused Sinon's suspicion, causing her to believe Rain was not sharing the entire truth. Despite Kirito's trust in Rain, the girl's past was exposed to him when the two encountered Sumeragi, who accused her of stealing information from Shamrock to beat them with another group. With her secondary plan on the verge of failing, Rain opened up to Kirito and the others, explaining her past and the story of her sister.

She revealed her discomfort at how Seven was becoming spoiled in the career path she was following, as well as her wish to get closer to her sister to rebuild the relationship that was torn apart when they were kids. With her story convincing even Sinon, who had held suspicions towards her since their first encounter, the group welcomed Rain as one of their own and started working together towards the quest to ensure the long-lost sisters would be reunited again. But with Shamrock inching closer and closer to reaching their ultimate goals, which didn't stop at solely completing the Grand Quest of Svart ALfheim, Rain needed to work a lot harder with others as a team to remind Nanairo Arshavin her forgotten past with Karatachi Nijika.
