Basic Personality: By and large, Rikku's a happy, cheerful girl. She's a little clumsy, a little ditzy, and more than a little childish--but somehow, occasionally, she still manages to produce small pearls of wisdom. Maybe this is why she so often meddles in other peoples' lives? More likely, it's just curiosity, and a genuine desire to help the people she cares about. Rikku has problems just like any other person, but her perky, optimistic outlook and a cheerful smile often mask the worry and concern she feels inside. And anyway, she likes to just think of a plan and do it, instead of sitting there and stewing over it with no results.

Rikku's gotten into her fair share of trouble in the past for some of her less-than-legal activities--she's something of a treasure fanatic, and not above obtaining things illegally as necessary. She fancies herself something of a mechanic, but truthfully half the time she ends up blowing stuff up. For the most part, Rikku's a pretty honest girl, but she's not above shedding a couple crocodile tears or trying for a cute, innocent smile to get herself out of a jam. And it's not that she lies, exactly, but sometimes she has to sort of... evade the truth. Creatively. (And sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn't.)

Rikku is loyal to and cares for her friends almost to a fault. Sometimes she gets caught up in her own ideas for what she wants for people, and so she ends up doing things to prevent them from acting according to their will. In the end, though, she's really just trying to help the people she loves.

Appearance: Rikku likes to keep her long blonde hair tied back in a long, wild ponytail and in a series of braids decorated with beads. A light blue bandana separates her bangs from the rest of her hair, and is mostly for looks. She has mischievous blue green eyes decorated by an odd swirl, inherited as an Al Bhed from her parents. She's a little on the skinny side, and is about 5'2" tall.

Rikku's clothes are a little (okay, lots) on the outlandish side--she wears a long scarf that ends about mid-calf in fringe and fades from red to yellow. She wears an orange, midriff top with black buckles on the sides. On one arm, she wears a long, fitted, forearm length 'glove' attached by a series of black arm bands. At the very end of this apparatus two nasty 'claws' attach at the back of her hand, which serves as her main weapon. Her other arm is fitted with a thick, tan glove and a black arm band.

She wears a pair of olive green shorts that slit on the side and fans out just a bit; the ends fade into a lighter shade and little ruffles. She wears an orange and yellow belt on top of that, mostly for looks, but also to carry pouches of junk. On her right leg, a black holster for her daggers is readily visible. Her entire ensemble is completed by green and light yellow boots that end between her calves and below her knees.

[I'm sorry that I'm mixing and matching clothes from X and X-2; if this is a problem I can change it, but I hate how skimpy her clothing is in X-2.]

Reason for being submitted into Never Evermore: Upon arriving in Never Evermore, Rikku wandered around in a really weird forest for a while, trying to find some familiar scenery, but she ended up finding this nice little cottage. The smell of the food inside smelled particularly yummy, but Rikku decided there was no need to break into the home, and she just wanted directions anyway. The three bears were quite surprised to come home and find their belongings unrifled and the blonde at their door to be asking for directions instead! Surprised, and suspicious, they called upon Sir Humpty.

Listed weapons and magical abilities: Rikku's a pretty good liar/actress when she needs to be. On top of that, she has a gift with theft and breaking and entering. She has no real magic--unless girlish charm might count? Weapons include a pair of daggers she always keeps on her and a pair of "claws" attached to the ends of the arm-wear she always wears.
