Rikki tends to wander far from breaking rules, but given her lack of a steady authority figure that shares her blood, she occasionally becomes exceedingly emotional. She remembers seeing her father drink when financially, their living situation became difficult. It was a stress reliever for him— so, in spite of her young age at the time, she was raised with the idea that it was all right to drink when you were emotionally distraught. These are the only times she consumes alcohol, and more often than not, she does get drunk, and makes no conscious effort to not get drunk.
Typically thinking of herself as fearless, the girl has the tendency to dive into her inner atychiphobia, which, in simpler terms, is the fear of failure. She can hardly the stand the idea of letting her friends, Steve, Sam, or anyone else, for that matter, down. Rikki is more than willing to do anything in her power to be successful.
Rikki’s a moaner, plain and simple. And a loud one. She’s not accustomed to being touched or handled, therefore when the time comes where someone accesses her in her most vulnerable state, she’s going to be exceedingly loud.
Seeing as Rikki had never been graced with the presence of her father, she’s been eager since childhood for some sort of father figure outside the realm of her grandfather. And, though he isn’t her blood, this is exactly what she considers Steve. He is mother, father, and the brother she had lost to her. Steve is undoubtedly the closest thing to family she has, and Rikki would prefer to never have it any other way.
