Description
Holding "Life's too short not to have fun!" as her motto, Rika leads a positive university life. She loves to dance and sing with her friends at parties.

Etymology
Seto (瀬戸) can be split into two parts. Se (瀬), meaning waves or currents, and To (戸) meaning family.

Rika (リカ) is written in katakana and is therefore not associated with any known kanji.
 * If her name is written in katakana, then "Setori"（セトリ）would make an abbreviation of "Set list". This may be an reference to her status in a DJ unit.

Mizushima Marika
Marika and Rika became friends immediately upon entering university, thanks to the fact that Rika was able to talk to her normally, despite Marika being the center of attention due to her status as a model.

Hidaka Saori
Prior to Merm4id's formation, Saori and Rika had not interacted at all, and they even referred to each other with their last names and honorifics. They had a few seminars together, but had never talked to each other; however Saori remembered Rika because of her loud and bold personality, and even regarded her as a "troublesome person." Upon finding Saori playing around with DJ equipment in a music store, Rika became intrigued about the former, and then chased her after Saori saw Rika watching her. After reluctantly accepting Rika's invitation to come with her to the next party they were having, the two started getting closer, and this eventually led to the creation of Merm4id. Rika often encourages and pushes Saori to do things out of her comfort zone, usually for the greater good.

Matsuyama Dalia
Rika and Dalia met for the first time at a university party they were attending. Rika, dancing around on the dancefloor, was then accompanied by Dalia who showed her her skills, which left Rika in awe.

Aoyagi Tsubaki
Tsubaki and Rika were classmates and friends throughout elementary and middle school. Rika has fond memories of their time together, and she remembers Tsubaki's incredible singing voice in music class. According to Tsubaki, Rika's personality has barely changed from said times, and even when Rika made a mistake, or caused trouble, things would usually end well and nobody would scold or insult her for what she'd done initially. In one of her home screen dialogues, Rika says that they are close friends but Tsubaki becomes embarrassed whenever it gets mentioned.

In the Holy Starry Christmas event story, Rika says that she feels responsible for not being able to cheer Tsubaki up and make her smile before they lost touch.
