Rita is caring towards her children, but is not afraid to punish them if they go too far. She and her husband act playfully romantic towards each other, though she is apparently more level-headed than him. An example of this is when she's concerned about Lincoln playing video games too much and tells him to do some sport outside in "The Loudest Yard".
She dreams to be a novelist but initially seems to lack a creative side, as she wrote a story about a bored dental assistant talking to her fish before being inspired by Lincoln to write about a thrill seeker with white hair, himself.
Appearance
Rita wears a salmon buttoned shirt with a white collar and cuffs, and dark mauve pants. She has medium length blonde hair and white earrings. She also wears light blue eyeshadow and red lipstick, while wearing black low tops. She has bags under her eyes, just like Lincoln.
She also appears to be stronger than Lynn Sr. himself, as she was able to turn the wrench when taking out the tire from Vanzilla, while he could not in Lana's Podcast from Listen Out Loud.
The colors and styles of clothing that the Loud and McBride parents wear correspond with each other. Rita and Howard both wear red button-up shirts, with collars, and rolled-up sleeves.
Rita is the third named character who had a birthday onscreen, the first character was Chandler and the second was Maggie.
She knows how to fly a plane, because Pop-Pop told her stories of when he was in the navy, and got the necessary knowledge on how flying a plane works.[8]
Rita and Lynn Sr. had to separate at least one point in their marriage because Lynn Sr. had mono.[9]
It is shown that Rita can make some dental jokes in the eleventh episode of Listen Out Loud.
Rita does not like Thessalonikian sheep dip, because she finds it too "gamey."[10]
She is "not a fan" of snakes, so it is unknown how she relates to El Diablo.[11]
She had a girdle at some point, which was then fashioned into one of Lori's many identical blue tank tops.[12]
When Lynn Sr. cannot speak properly due to his fear, she understands him.[13]
