In a world where internet spreads galaxy wide, such information would not have been difficult to attain.

On the other hand, Sheryl would have known seeing how both individuals are in the entertainment business. But this is besides the point. The fact is, it was not until episode 21 when Ranka finally asked Alto why he wanted to fly. Prior to that, Ranka never asked Alto anything about him. When Alto and Ranka were together, we hear Ranka talk about herself... well, all the time.

Nope, no growth....
Really? Episode 20 seems to indicate otherwise about your claim regarding her confidence. When she departed in 21, she wasn't really confident. Please do not tell me that she was actually confident she can pull it off. You are going to have to try extra hard to convince me of that.

Never mind that the only thing notable about Ranka aside from the singing in episode 25 was "rescue me!"

The Ranka we met in the beginning claimed that she wanted to sing because she wanted others to know about her existence. At the end, we met a Ranka who wanted to sing for... one person.

Growth? Yeah...
