Ringo Ando is the main protagonist of Puyo Puyo 7 and the main protagonist (Puyo Puyo side only) of Puyo Puyo Tetris and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 along with a few other characters. She exists in yet another different universe to Arle and Amitie, and is taught how to play Puyo by Arle when her school is flooded with Puyo. Ringo is more down-to-earth than Arle and Amitie, and is quite an intellectual person. Her inquisitive nature causes her to question many things, including, but not limited to the quirks of the game of Puyo Puyo. She is eccentric in her own way and is known to spontaneously burst into improvised songs. She resides in the town of Suzuran in the shopping district where her family runs the greengrocery store Ando Family Fresh Produce. She is incredibly afraid of ghosts, claiming that they're "unscientific beings", or simply not real, but in reality her grandmother's ghost stories instilled the fear in her.
She uses the Dropset of Yu and Rei. However, as Yu and Rei returned in 20th Anniversary, she uses her own dropset in the game.
Relationships
Ai
Ally
Amitie
Ringo and Amitie became friends after stopping Ecolo in Puyo Puyo 7. Ringo gets along well with her as she's able to easily recognize Amitie when encountering her again in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary and Amitie misses Ringo when Ringo returns to her home world.
Arle Nadja
Arle Nadja was the person who informed Ringo that she had gained the ability to pop Puyo, though she was possessed by Ecolo shortly afterwards. After freeing her from Ecolo's control, Ringo and Arle became friends and continue to adventure together in following games.
Dark Prince
She believes that the Dark Prince is the master of Puyo popper and he's in love with Arle. Ringo doesn't want to know that, but she helps the dark wizard who can defeat him in battle since she's not phased by the Dark Prince one bit since she is likely enemies with the Dark Prince.
Ecolo
Ringo and Ecolo first met in Puyo Puyo 7, where she stops him from destroying all universes. Their relationship develops more in Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary when Ecolo loses his memory and becomes stranded in Primp Town. While she has a few friendly interactions with Ecolo, she seems to be annoyed by his sometimes jealous, childish, and attention-seeking behavior more than anything else.
In "The Valentine's Day that Overcame Space-time" Ringo is shown preparing a kamidana and leaving Valentine's gifts on it in an attempt to give something to Ecolo. After they appear, Ringo explains that she was worried about them after they caused so much trouble for everyone in Puyo Puyo 7. She is one of the few people that can remember Ecolo, whose existence violates the laws of space-time. Ecolo theorizes that this may be because Ringo is honest with herself and that he is a being beyond her comprehension.
Ex
Ringo thinks of Ex as the current Keeper of Dimensions, the former Tetris King, previous captain of the S.S. Tetra when she first met him. She knew that he built Zed to take care of Ess. She even calls him "Mr. Fancy Suspenders" while Feli calls him "old man".
Feli
Ringo is jealous of Feli when Ringo thinks of Lemres as a "super suspicious guy" when Feli and Lemres are in a relationship. She and Feli were also in a swap battle in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

Maguro Sasaki
Maguro Sasaki is Ringo's childhood friend and fellow Physics Club member. The two live in the same shopping district.

Ringo on the other hand is amazed at his many talents and frequently praises him for his proficiency in many areas.
Marle
Ms. Accord
Possessed Klug
Risukuma
Risukuma is Ringo's friend, upperclassman, and fellow member of the Physics Club. They enjoy conducting scientific experiments together.
Schezo Wegey
Tee
Ringo and Tee first met when the dimensions of Puyo and Tetris first merged in Puyo Puyo Tetris . The two worked together to solve the mystery of the merging dimensions and became friends during the journey, as shown by Ringo jumping in to stop Tee from taking Ex's place as the Keeper of Dimensions.
Even though she forgot about him after the events of Puyo Puyo Tetris, she could feel something familiar about him during their second encounter in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. Marle tells the group that the bonds they had formed during the first game's events still remained, even if their memories disappeared. She was saddened when the Puyo and Tetris dimensions were separated at the end of the game, but understands that even if they're apart, their hearts will remain forever connected across the dimensions.
