She was also the only merperson to display the power to detect fellow invisible mermaids. As a powerful mermaid, she is vastly skilled with magic and even invented methods of her own. Rita possessed all standard powers and abilities of a mermaid native from the sea but far stronger and much more experienced than the other mermaids. She’s the only mermaid with pierced ears. As a mermaid, her hair is let down and she has an orange-scaled tail with an orange-scaled top. Her hair length changes over the season being longer medium length in the first season to passing her shoulders. At school she wears her hair in buns and ponytails and at home her hair is loose in natural waves or half up. She wears clothes in different colors and she is seen wearing a seahorse necklace. Rita is a very pretty adult mermaid with red hair in Season 1 and brownish-auburn hair color in Season 2 & 3, and green eyes. Now Rita teaches at mermaid school, replacing Ondina in her position while maintaining residence on land. In season 3, Rita quit her job as Principal of Suncoast High and decided to go back to the pod. Rita and Veridia make amends after Veridia realizes that Rita was right about Zac being a friend and that some land people can be trusted, even agreeing with her when Rita expresses hope that one day the world of land and sea will become one. Fearing for Zac's life, Rita follows her and threatens Veridia with her own powers when she nearly attacks Zac. The one exception is in "Reunion" when her ex friend at the time Verida, reveals her intentions to deal with Zac personally when she learns he has unlocked a merman chamber. Rita's usual role is to provide knowledge and wisdom on magic whenever the merpeople need it and does not usually get involved in their adventures. Though she truly loved being a mermaid, she still refused Lyla's offer to return home and become one of the pod again, stating that her life now was on land. As she becomes their mermaid mentor and guide, Rita discovers that although there are complications, the mermaids bring companionship and laughter back into her life. Rita is torn- she gave up mermaid life, and she doesn't want three reckless young mermaids blowing her cover, but Rita can't turn them away.

Rita eventually became a teacher in Suncoast High, and later, she became the principal. At some point before or after his death, Rita had a pet cat named Poseidon, who became her new best-friend. Before their marriage, Harry tragically passed away, leaving Rita alone. She left her pod, and began to live on land with Harry, who was already her fiancé.
