I just want one of them to be like Mach or Snipe sometime. I don't need for like major upgrades in the latter half or to have entire plots centered on them, but just allowed to be cool and relevant during the whole show's run, maintaining their own internally generated motivations and whatnot. I guess Rider isn't quite ready for that though!!

Agree with all of this. And it's not even like writing good female characters is any harder than writing males, there's different cliches to watch out for but that's about it. Heck, most of the secondary and even main Riders recently could've been women without changing the story! But for some reason the creators seem unable to have a female Rider without sidelining her :/
