Rita Vrataski

Rita Vrataski is one of the protagonists of the light novel (later manga) All You Need is Kill and the movie Edge of Tomorrow. She is a soldier in the United Defense Force, fighting an intense battle against the Mimics, delritch alien beings who have invaded Earth. Due to getting Mimic blood on her, Rita is now forced to repeat the same day over and over (what is commonly known as a "Groundhog Day Loop"), something she takes advantage of in her battle against a mimic. Unlike the rest of the soldiers in the U.D.F., Rita uses a bladed weapon in combat, either a sword or an helicopter blade. Rita is belligent and boiterous, but also noble and friendly. In the movie, Rita is played by Emily Blunt, who also played Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns and voiced Juliet in Gnomeo and Juliet.
