Riz being so suspicious of Mazey because she hangs around Fabian and wants to be at his house for his birthday

Fantasy High Spoilers It's fascinating to me that Kipperlilly hated RIZ from day one of freshman year. Like, the origin of her resentment towards the Bad Kids seems to be that she feels like her lack of any sort of compelling or tragic backstory put her at a disadvantage compared to them.

Which, okay, I could see her hating Riz by the end of the year. Kalvaxis, that year's big bad, DID eat Riz's dad, and the missing babysitter Riz was looking for was tied up in the whole Kalvaxis conspiracy, but on day one? The only things about Riz were that his dad was dead and that he was looking for his missing babysitter. But look at the other Bad Kids on day one: Kristen is the Chosen One of Helio, Fabian is the son of a man who seems to have basically Won at Piracy, Adaine is the daughter of an extremely powerful and influential elven family. Heck, Fig is the daughter of an accomplished adventurer who recently had a Dark And Mysterious Revelation about her own past. Riz's Backstory? A dad who, as far as anybody knows, died under perfectly mundane circumstances, and a missing babysitter. If her big hang-up is about backstories that give an advantage on adventuring, why would she specifically focus on Riz? Why not Fabian, whose backstory literally gives him a significant advantage as far as resources and training to being an adventurer? I can only think of two options 1) Kipperlilly is genre savvy enough to recognize the backstory potential of "Dead Parent", and kind of got obsessed. Pok Gukgak isn't just Riz's father, he's ALSO Sklonda's husband, so he features prominently in the backstories of not one, but TWO detectives. Kipperlilly figured it was inevitable that his death held secrets around at least one of their stories, and got obsessed. or 2) Kipperlilly is a Mastermind Rogue. Riz Was an Inquisitive Rogue (I think he's an arcane trickster now, but w/e). The Rogue class in D&D can mean a lot of things mechanically, but thematically there's an assumption that a Rogue is a criminal of some sort. The rogue class was called the Thief in earlier editions, and that sticks around. The very name "Rogue" implies rulebreaking. Kipperlilly arrived at Augefort fully intending to one day mastermind a sinister conspiracy. Riz shows up being detective themed, and Kipperlilly, being a wannabee Moriarty herself, instantly despises him. Recognizing that the Mastermind and the Detective will inevitably clash, she develops a hatred of Riz in anticipation of being his nemesis. The disparity in their backstories becomes a source of frustration for her. How is the boring girl with two living parents supposed to remain sympathetic in opposition to the scrappy detective with a dead dad. When it's revealed that his dad was killed by Kalvaxis, it just solidifies thing. Ironically enough, Kipperlilly isn't even the mastermind of Junior Year. From what we can tell, that's all Porter.

The SHEER vitriol summoned Brian Murphy himself into the world of Spyre. Full headcannon, Riz glowed with the holy energy of the Honourer to belittle Kippersplease CathildaCeili

If I had a nickel for every time a teen Rogue PC in the second season of a real play DND show pisses on the big bad of season one, I'd have two nickels...which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.
