Reagan Ridley (Inside Job)
Reagan Ridley is a brilliant yet socially awkward robotics engineer who works at Cognito Inc. and believes that society itself can be improved, managing her irresponsible coworkers while seeking out a coveted promotion along the way.
Showrunner Shion Takeuchi described Reagan as a leader who "wants to make the world a better place." It is frequently suggested by her friends, family and co-workers that she has Asperger's, which she in turn denies.
Tamiko Ridley, Reagan's Mom
"She's still Mom, undercutting my confidence in ways I didn't know existed." -Reagan expressing how callous her mother can be at times.
While still poor, Reagan's relationship with her mother tends to be noticeably more civil than with her father. Reagan has a strained relationship with her mother as well, though not as much as her father. Tamiko constantly undermines Reagan's confidence in ways she didn't know existed. Her parents fighting with each other has more than once brought Reagan to to the edge of insanity. Despite not being as bad as Rand, Tamiko can be considered neglectful and uncaring towards Reagan and her feelings: this can be seen when she marries herself just to anger Rand despite their fights being unnerving to Reagan or when she's seen in a flashback not caring about her daughter's disappointment in no one coming to her birthday party. It's worth noting in "My Big Flat Earth Wedding", when Reagan is taken hostage by Harold, she is the first to come to her aid.
