Clothing & Adornments

More often than not, Ria wears dull colors: browns, greys, desaturated greens, even. She almost always wears trousers and a shirt that ends just past her elbows. Her hair is pinned back, away from her face. Around her neck is a simple necklace that she tucks into her shirt so as to prevent it from catching on anything and breaking. Around her waist is a belt which carries many useful items that Ria thinks are necessary for when she goes off on an adventure.

Physicalities

Ria walks at a very fast pace. Her steps have a certain joviality to them that is unmistakable. Every now and then, there is a maniac look on her face, full of excitement and a desire for adventure.

Backstory

Ria was born to a wealthy family. She could have been anything-- anything-- she had wanted to be. Ria chose to be an "adventurer." To this day, her mother is not completely certain that it is even a real job, but Ria doesn't seem to care in the slightest. She has taken to gathering groups of people and taking them along with her on her crazy adventures. It's almost necessary considering how often she gets herself into a sticky situation that she can't quite get herself out of.

Emotional Arc

At the beginning of the game, Ria is determined to find a particular item. She cannot be talked out of it. She is stubborn and determined. As the game progresses, and everything starts to go wrong, her will seems to be broken. However, with the help of her team, her determination is restored and she is able to make it through the journey and find the item, feeling better than ever.

Gameplay Element

This is the player character.

Environment

Ria lives in a world much like our own. The major difference is that archeology is classified as adventuring and it is not a real job. Museums will pay handsomely for the artifacts collected, but it is meant to be more of a hobby than an actual profession.

Job/Work

Ria is an adventurer. While it is not exactly a real job by many people's standards, it is all Ria ever wants to do.

Speech Patterns/Dialect/Accent

When Ria speaks, there is the sound of excitement in her words. Her voice is sultry, as if she could entice people to join her quest with words alone. Every single time she talks, Ria gesticulates wildly. The use of her hands is vital to her communication, or at least she seems to think so.

Sample Dialogue

RIA: C'mon! We haven't got all day! It's just over that horrifyingly old-looking bridge!

COMPANION: Ria...are you sure about this? It seems dangerous.

RIA: Dangerous? How? It doesn't look like it's about to break at all!

COMPANION: Sometimes, I think you are honestly crazy. You know that?

RIA: That so? Well, maybe I am!
