Riley & Ignis

Riley Carter & Ignis

friendships

If friendship's your game, it's hard to go wrong with Riley. She's energetic, fun loving, seems to have an infinite supply of optimism and she just wants everyone to smile and be happy! She's also a bit of a doormat too and will happily go out of her way to give you want you want so long as it's within her power and knowledge without complaint and doesn't seem to recognize when people are taking advantage of her. Still, it wouldn't be a good idea to take advantage of her. Just because Riley doesn't realize it doesn't mean Ignis won't and he will not let you get away with it.

She's open-minded too so if you got some strange quirk, she'll likely be more curious and accepting of it, so long as it's not harmful. If your quirk is stabbing people at random, that's just not going to go down well. Of course, she has her quirks too. If she's met you, expect to be plushified the earliest opportunity she gets. She makes plushies of everyone she sees. Consent not required.

If you are looking for a friend who can sympathize with you, Riley likely won't work out. She can't stand gloom and she'll only want to change the subject and get you doing something fun. Also don't expect too much from her in terms of protectiveness. She's a wimp with no fighting capability whatsoever. Sure, she might tell someone off for being mean to you, but make no mistake. When it gets dangerous, she'll be hiding behind you.

Ignius on the other hand, isn't really much of a friendly digimon. He cares deeply about Riley, and not so much for anyone else. Still, give him no reason to distrust you and gain his respect and he won't be as reluctant to stick his neck out for you when you need it. His only condition is you treat both him and Riley with respect and he'll give you the same.

enemies

Well, it's not too hard to imagine people not liking Riley. While it may not be severe enough to be considered enemies over, she can be quite an annoying character to someone who just wants peace and quiet, or maybe it's just her inability to sympathize your issues that you don't like. Or you could just be the sourpuss that can't stand how happy she always appears to be.

As far as real enemies go, if you are evil, or violent or mean towards her or her friends, you'll find yourself in the enemy seat pretty quickly. Even if Riley herself is okay with you, if you take advantage of her or do anything to make Ignius believe you are treating her badly, he won't let you near her. Being her enemy though won't mean she'll be after your blood, however. Both Riley and Ignius prefer to keep their distance from such people.

Though don't think being an enemy means she won't want to add a plushie of you to her collection. She plushifies everyone. Just don't be surprised if you find that it isn't in perfect condition if you ever happen to come across it. Just because she won't beat you up doesn't mean she hasn't found relief in beating up dolls!

romance

Is your character in love with Riley? Well first thing's first, she's straight as ruler so sorry ladies, this girl is only attracted to the male variety. Secondly, she's not someone to dive into just any relationship. Just being flirty won't get you anywhere, simply because she'll just find that kind of behavior funny. It's predictable, and doesn't really do much for her -- anyone can flirt after all and most of the time it's just some cheesy overused one-liner that they copied off of someone one else! How romantic is that? Sexual comments will get you a permanent creep label, so don't even try.

The most important things someone should be for Riley, is kind, and protective. Like with friends she's not going to put up with you being nasty to her, and Ignius won't let you get away with any poor treatment Riley is oblivious to. Protective is also mandatory. She's weak and a pushover, and she needs somebody to be her knight in shining armor so to speak. Protect her from the scary dangers of the world and she'll adore you, and you'll have Ignius' respect too.

Being able to let loose and have fun is a definite plus, though it isn't mandatory so long as your character can at least appreciate her playful and energetic antics and let her do her thing. You'll also have to be able to put up with her talkativeness and deal with the fact that she isn't going to be able to handle whatever sadness and problems your character might have. Speaking of that, if your character is in general a gloomy person, that's a deal breaker right there.

While she is not shy about hugging and kissing, if you are looking to get in a relationship to get certain 'perks', Riley isn't with you there. She's got a childish mentality, and though she's open minded, sexual relations are still far outside of her comfort zone. Love from her is going to mostly be about the romance. Anything beyond that is just creepy for her, and will likely stay creepy for the rest of her child/teenage life.

Chances are, so long as nothing changes to make you into some kind of jerk or evil, she'll still love you. Something happening to make it impossible for you to protect her, might make her step back if it's still early in the relationship, but if she's at a point where she adores you and wants to spend the rest of her life with you, even that wouldn't be enough to make her want to break up. If she is at that point and for some reason you want to break up, you will break the cutie. She may not show it, she might act like it's okay while pretending she's not crying her eyes out, but the second you are out of the picture she will be hiding somewhere crying her eyes out as if the world has come to an end. Also, Ignis will hate you.

No pressure.
