Riley Rivers

Riley Rivers is an 18 year old student at Brien Academy, being introduced at the very beginning of the story as one the first members of the group of protagonists.

Her special fields of study include zoology and psychology. She is a model student that always shows up early for class and volunteers for as many roles, jobs and extracurricular activities as is possible. She comes from the inner city as part of a large family with 6 siblings though during the events of the story she lives on campus like many other students, she still makes an effort to visit her family on her rare days off however.

She is introduced in the beginning of the story as she volunteers to give one of the other protagonists a tour of the academy, they quickly become the best of friends, and due to her curious and kind nature Riley joins the team to try and uncover the mysteries of Brien Academy, and is very happy to be along for the ride.

Appearance
Riley is a young black girl that stands at about 170cm tall. She is of an average build with curly dark hair. Riley is a very normal person especially compared to the other individuals that attend Brien Academy, the only odd thing about her appearance being that her eye colour is a strange pastel pink.

Outside of her school uniform Riley can be found wearing trendy clothing, with her standard look including leggings and sneakers, she likes to wear bright and eye catching colours that look nice matched with her eyes. Her signature clothing item has to be her large headphones that she wears at all times, she refuses to tell anyone what she is listening to however.

Personality
Riley is incredibly delightful and friendly. An unwavering optimist, Riley see’s the good in everyone and every situation. She’s a diligent hard worker that is constantly busy but will always find time to help her friends. Riley’s one weakness as a student is her tendency to day dream, she can often be found staring off into space in her own little world, but she tries not to let this detract from her efforts.

In the dire situations brought on to Riley throughout the events of the story, she meets them all with a brave face, always trying to put the safety of her friends before her own, she never gives up and is always looking for a way to achieve victory no matter the odds.

She is also a big fan of animals, especially insects, and enjoys spouting off any number of random animal facts that she knows.

Little Wing
Riley’s contract is Little Wing; it is naturally occurring and has no control ratio. Its takes on a humanoid form however its appearance is malleable as it looks different for everyone who perceives it. Whoever is gazing upon Little Wing sees it as utterly and incredibly beautiful and that can mean a lot of things for a lot of different people. The only uniting features that appear regardless of who is viewing it, are its feminine features and solitary angelic wing.

The contract has a variety of superior physical traits, its strength and speed are far greater than your average human and it has limited flight capabilities. Its true strength however, comes from its main ability; Little Wing can target a creature that can see it, from then until the effect is removed, Little Wing is the one and only thing that the target can perceive through the sense of sight. The effect can be removed either if Riley wills it, Riley is rendered unconscious, the target stays out of the eye line of Little Wing for 2 minutes or if the target is rendered unconscious.

The main weakness of Little Wing comes from the fact that while it is active Riley cannot look at it otherwise the contract and its effect disappear until it is summoned once again. This means that while Little Wing is fighting a foe, Riley herself, the sole controller of the contract, cannot look at her ability or what it is fighting. Riley in fact, has never seen her contract before and has no clue what it looks like. Ideally Riley’s ability should be used in conjunction with another person and contract, as her ally can direct Riley so she can make attacks with some amount of accuracy and the anti-perception ability of Little Wing can allow Riley’s allies to get surprise attacks on their opponents.
