Character Spotlight - Rikku

[NeoCracker]

Rikku was always a troubled character. Shunned by Society, her and the other Albed were always on hard times, and it was hard for them to cope with the rejection of people that they themselves wanted to help. Riku, like many other of her Al'Bed comrades, turned to cocaine to try to fix the negative emotions.

After the events of X, however, things changed for the Al'Bed. Accepted into Society, many of them had been able to stop their habits and adapt into society. Riku, however, was different. Unlike most Al'bed, she was propelled to a Celebrity status in Spira. With the Wealth and more free time then she had before, the Coke had become more then just something to help dull the pain, but more an integral part of who she was.

It was not long before Riku had become a wreck. On numerous occasions she had tried to sleep with her cousin after taking considerable amounts of cocaine. This isn't even taking into account all the rumors of Riku's night walking activities.

Whats worse is the two people closest to Riku, Yuna and Paine, seem remarkably oblivious to Riku's destructive behavior. In fact, it can be suggested, perhaps this is because of Paine. It is noted the excess behavior of Riku began with Paine's appearance on the scene. While Authorities are investigating the possibility of Paine being connected to some kind of drug ring, no leads have yet turned up.

Shouldn't Riku be having cowboy buttsex with Sora? Why is he ruining Final Fantasy X?

[Night Fury]

The sad moment when NC's comment is better than the feature xD

[Goldenboko]

Rikku was 15 during FFX? I always go the impression she was young but never that she was 15. I feel like this happens all the time when I play Japanese games, I'm going to innocently continue to believe she was 17

[NeoCracker]

You must feel really creepy for that shrine you keep of her now.

[Formalhaut]

She was 17 in X-2, but I agree, Rikku does not LOOK 15 in X. That's exactly what I said to the police afterwards as well.

I liked Rikku in X better as well; she was alot more thoughtful, while in X-2 she's like a side-attachment to Brother. Damn that Brother.

"DAnCING YunA, I Want TO SeE!!"

His accent, his strange body expressions, and the way he said it justs want me to rip his throat out.

What I find most hilarious about Rikku though in X-2 is that you can go into Gagazet with Rikku freezing to death.

[Forsaken Lover]

I will now list my favorite Rikku Dressphere looks.
Note: All of these look a billion times sexier in game.

Lady Luck


If I remember right she has a special move where she blows a kiss... I need to replay X-2.

Samurai


Is there anything more adorable than watching her "oomph" that ridiculously huge katana up when attacking?

Berserker


Watching her breakdance the enemy to death is pretty hot.

Cocaine to dull the pain? Are you... serious?

Or do you mean mental pain.

[NeoCracker]

Considering the reason listed for the Al'Bed Cocaine addiction I cited was their rejection from the rest of Society, I think Mental Pain is a safe assumption.

[Freya]

I wish rikku would have been an actual party member sooner in the X story. I mean she appears in the beginning but is just kind of thrown in there in the middle.

She is comparatively weak when you get here I agree. Not to mention the only abilities she can use for awhile is steal and use.

[~*~Celes~*~]

Rikku has always been my favorite character from X and X-2 <3

[Mercen-X]

Shouldn't Rikku be having cowboy buttsex?

I pictured something very different than what you intended.
