Appearance: Tall and leggy, Riley stands at 5'9" and weighs in at 146 lbs. A lean and muscular girl, she has a rather utilitarian figure. A relatively small bust, powerful runner's legs and a toned stomach give testament to her active sports life. Her long, strawberry blonde hair falls between her shoulder blades, with bangs that barely manage to cover her bright, blue eyes. Her fair complexion stands at odds with her substantial time in the sun, due to the fact that, rather than tan, Riley burns. Her cheeks and cute, thin nose are lightly dusted with a smattering of freckles she's gained from her time outdoors. Her lips, which are thin, but not so much that they are nonexistent, are usually glossed in light pink polish, complimenting her delicate jaw line.

Dressing in colors that accentuate her hair and skin, she is often seen wearing bright, form fitting yellow and green tops, with jeans and converse.

Biography: Born to a large family, Riley is the middle of five children. Her mother and father both worked to support the family, never really having the time to spend much time with their children. They worked with what little family time they were given, attempting to spend equal time with each of the children. More often than not, however, circumstances didn't really allow for much time with Riley.

Riley didn't grow to resent her parents, knowing it was not their fault. She did, however, develop a desire to be the center of attention. Chatty and outgoing, she's quick to make friends and take charge of a conversation. She enjoys her places on the soccer and field hockey team, because she is, most often, in a position to score. Nobody remembers the person who stays defensive, she figures, so the best way to make yourself known is to make an aggressive splash.

Riley is always one to give her opinions about anything and everything. Outspoken and unapologetic, she sometimes seems unapproachable. One of her favorite subjects speak on is music, doing so with the authority of one who finds it inconceivable for their opinion to be wrong. She doesn't hesitate to explain why a person's favorite band is stilted, boring, or untalented. Of course, she doesn't always need a good reason to dislike something, unflinchingly labeling it "stupid" or "just bad" for no real reason, aside from her lack of interest in it.

Riley finds good company on the cheerleading squad, happy to be among people not unlike herself: outgoing, outspoken, and sociable. Being rather forceful, Riley sometimes comes off as standoffish to some of her peers. She feels much more at home among the members of the squad, expecting them to understand and put up with her behavior. After all, she does the same for them.

One of Riley's more ardent beliefs is the equality of sexual desire. She finds the idea that promiscuous men are "studs," while promiscuous females are "sluts," to be completely ridiculous. She brought up the issue with her longtime friend, Mike Jefferies. She explained that casual sex was nothing to be ashamed of and that girls have just as much a right to have it as boys. The end result of the discussion was Mike and Riley in bed together. From that day on the two were, for lack of a better term, sex buddies.

Riley's personality is, on the outside, outgoing, brash, and can border on cruel at times. Despite her candid nature, however, there are certain things she keeps to herself. Riley is loath to receive help from anyone, wanting to be able to take care of herself, in her own way. She rejects easy ways out of problems, viewing them as a crutch, often forsaking simpler solutions for more convoluted or outright stupid ones, in order to salvage her pride.

Advantages: She is in good physical condition, able to run long distances and remain active for extended periods before becoming winded.

Disadvantages: Riley's pride may become an issue, preventing her from accepting much needed help. She also has more experience talking than fighting, never having been in a real fight in her life.
