Girl
The girl (女の子?, Onnanoko)[1], referred to as Miss[2] in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise and Yuka (ユカ?, Yuka)[3] in Nintendo Badge Arcade, is a character who appeared alongside Monkeys in Tap Trial in Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven Fever, and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
She can be considered one of the mascots of the Rhythm Heaven Series, due to her prominent appearance on Rhythm Tengoku's boxart, and promotional material for other games.
Story
The girl wanted to enter the secret tap-dance parties of the animal kingdom, and went to great lengths to find shoes with the right shade of red[4]. On her birthday, her mother gave her a new dress[5]. She is very stylish and wears many different outfits. She also convinced the monkeys to try new outfits along with her[6].
Although she's not playable in Rhythm Heaven, she does appear on the title screen, as well as the epilogues in Rhythm Heaven Demo Version and in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic, with a slightly different outfit. She appears on the album covers for Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu and Rhythm Tengoku Gold Kokunai-ban Kaigai-ban Zen Vocal-shu with new outfits as well.
The girl appears in Remix 9 in Rhythm Heaven Fever, where the Cheer Readers show images of her in various costumes.

Trivia
- The girl, like a few other characters, has appeared in every game in the Rhythm Heaven Series.
- A similar girl appears on the title screen and in promotional material for Rhythm Heaven Fever, though she appears to be a separate character.
- The character Girlfriend from Friday Night Funkin' was inspired by this girl, specifically her appearance in Rhythm Heaven Fever[7]. This was confirmed in a tweet as well, though citing the design from Rhythm Heaven instead[8], to which Girlfriend's design bears a closer resemblance.
