Rucia and Zara are two humanoid aliens that appeared in Ultraman Tiga. Both were killed by Alien Muzan for sport.
History
Ultraman Tiga
Two humanlike aliens, their species was an enslaved race, used by Alien Muzan for hunting. They were forced to wear special collars that tracked their whereabouts and were released onto a planet to be hunted down. The pair escaped their captivity but were separated and slowly stalked. The female, Rucia was tracked to a city where she almost died if not for the intervention of Daigo and GUTS.
Taken back to their HQ, her bracelet was removed and used to search for clues. This was how GUTS learned of her back story. Her comrade Zara was being hunted down by Muzan's ship and she left to rescue him with GUTS following. Though Muzan's ship was destroyed they were too late to save Zara. Rucia died leading Muzan away from her new friends and died like Zara. Daigo transforms into Ultraman Tiga to avenge her death. Later, GUTS gave Rucia a proper human burial for at least they can do that to make up for failing to protect her.
