Ragnar is a tall character with short blond hair (mainly, it uses other hair wigs) and -red eyes, uses a blue, black and white suit (her main attire. She uses other clothes every time she appears), however, its gender is androgynous and unknown.

As the Cyborg Form, it has longer red and white hair and now has a black and gray cybernetic body with heels, it has a longsword, and multiple cutting weapons in its body, it has heterocromatic laser eyes (One Purple and One Yellow).

And its final fusioned evil form involves many faces in the same huge body (Arche's, Divine's, Harbinger's and Void's), with Anthem's head being a skull, however, it was complete for a battle until one of the gods betrayed it, becoming more uglier.

Personality
Anthem is a being that plans to recreate the world by all costs, it hates humans for what they have done to the world that it created, however, it acknowledges that not all human beings aren't as evil as it knew it.

As Rhyme, it just likes to dance and have fun, at first, because later is revealed that it likes to fight and defeating enemies. Because its for instincts. It can talk in many voice tones according to its personality, which Alto and Cadenza understand, it is unstable and really insane somehow.

As Allegro, it is helpful, friendly and a positive character whose passion for saving the world is bigger than one imagined, she thinks everyone can have a happy life, but has a disbelief for humanity somehow. And helps the characters with their problems since Act 2 of the Episode Mode.

The Dark Side of Anthem is a total destroyer and a trickster who just wants to fight, whereas the Light Side wants to preserve the creation and cares about the world.

Fighting Style/Battle Analysis
Anthem has a very primitive Fighting Style, which involves long range attacks and its motif is mainly war weapons as in mech form, it also can damage souls for inside.

As Rhyme, Its fighting Style is relatively different, it involves dance moves, more based in the classic urban style rather than the ballet-based Ballerina, it has two stances: Moonwalker, which is more dance based and short ranged, and Sunrunner, which involves cutting weapons and many robotic powers, in Revolution, it only retains Moonwalker, while Super Rhyme gets new robotic powers.

As Ragnar/Allegro, it has the same set of combos as Ballerina, however, with Samba, Flamenco, Tango, Cueca and every national dance moves, but it uses also more urban styles, however in Revolution, as the moveset got separated, she adquired Sunrunner with her dancing skills and whip attacks.

The Cyborg form has Sunrunner by default, and has an special attack involving its heels.

Role in the Crossovers
Rhyme itself appeared in In-Verse All-Stars Versus as a rival then a hidden solo character, its role is a neutral sided character.
