Rio wouldn’t have tried to kill Agatha otherwise.
Like Agatha, Rio is a witch with strong powers.

Her ability to create blasts of wind was just one example of her power over the elements.
One specific character comes to mind thanks to Rio’s mentioning of her heart being black.
Blackheart can manipulate his physical form and has power over dark energy.
If Rio is based on Blackheart, then she would be a demon instead of a witch.
It’s already confirmed that Agatha cannot absorb Rio’s powers without killing herself.
If Rio really was a demon, Agatha would not be able to absorb her powers.

Anotherpotential influence on Rio’s character is Gaea, the Earth goddess.
Being a goddess, Gaea isimmortal and she can heal people.
It can be assumed that Rio is as immortal as Agatha and the other witches are.
Agatha Harkness, following the events of “WandaVision,” embarks on a quest to reclaim her lost powers. Teaming up with unlikely allies, including the son of her former enemy, she faces new mystical threats while navigating a complex world of magic and intrigue.
The deep cut the character is well-connected to several different corners of the Marvel Comics universe.
Especially since Rio harbors a vengeance towards Agatha after she took the Darkhold and started using dark magic.
There’s no precise reason yet why Rio is out for Agatha’s blood.
However, it’s safe to assume that the two of themmay have had a romantic connectionin the past.
And the theories will continue to bounce back and forth until her true identity is revealed.
New episodes ofAgatha All Alongstream on Disney+ every Wednesday.
