Master Sgt Farrell is Causasian. He has no effect on Cage's development as a soldier.

|
Rita and Kiriya stay in her quarters the night before the last battle. |
Cage suggests sex is a way out of the loop, but Rita turns him down. He gets a single kiss shortly before their last confrontation with the Mimics. |
|
Kiriya talks Shasta into trading Rita's spare battle axe for memory unit used to repair Rita's Jacket. |
Cage does not use an axe in the movie.
|
|
Rita's main weapon is her 200 kilogram battle axe; uses it to cut through the Mimic's exoskeleton. She cordinates her ground attacks with air strikes; attacks by running amongst the surviving the Mimics and cutting them apart. |
Rita is rarely shown using the axe, she is seen for the most part on the battle field being led around by Cage trying to find a way to escape. |
