✯ First Impressions

❃ VISUAL: Riley is 5'2" and every inch of that is BURSTING with energy. She's got toned arms and legs from countless hours of cheer workouts. Her bright red hair's usually up in a ponytail, tied with her orange ribbon, though if you do happen to find her with it down, it'll be around mid-back length. Long hair, Riley! Her eyes are a kind of...hazel-ish green color? Definitely a light gentle color.
❃ FASHION: As a girl from a well off family, Riley has the resources to live her style dreams! ...Those dreams are preppy, and....trying too hard?? Like, you'll get some nice skirts or polos, stretch pants and a ruffly tank top, but like. It always looks a little too well-coordinated?? Like it came right out of a magazine ad. She rarely mixes it up or acts adventurous with her clothing, and she always, always has that orange ribbon, even if it doesn't really go with what she wears.
❃ DEMEANOR: HERE'S RILEY, SHE'S 110% READY AND GOING TO GO AT HER PROBLEMS WITH A BIG SMILE AND A CHEER!! This is a girl who probably needs to have the energy dialed down. She tends to bounce on her toes and raise her chin and try to take command. She's also like...friendly? If you catch Riley without a smile on, that'll probably be a quick occurrence, because she likes to wear one of those, no matter the circumstances. If she lets it drop, then that's how you know things are bad. It's a bit far to say she's fake, but she's definitely practiced in how to act in front of others. Like she's always partway in a performance.
❃ AURAL: We'll start with singing, because that's easiest! The intro of the show does a good job of showcasing her voice, and there's some talking in here too. From everyone, but also from her. Riley's doing most of the singing here. Someone uploaded a "slime tutorial" to youtube, so here's a nice look at Riley's regular speaking voice, though I request you not watch too much, for fear of spoilers. Also, it's all out of order after this. Also, the show is very clearly if Scream and Bring It On had a baby, so disregard the title. ANYWAY. She's always got this attentive, carefully enunciated way of speaking. It's very melodious, to go with her perky energy. She rarely drops it, but if she does, it's another "oh so this is serious" moment.
❃ OLFACTORY: I never know what to put for this. Probably like working too hard.

✯ OOC

❃ BACKTAGGING: Love them! Tend to go two weeks or so for murdergames, but I can go further back if you're interested in continuing.
❃ FOURTHWALLING: Not really into it, sorry!
❃ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Riley probably won't initiate unless you get Close but she won't go out of her way to avoid them.
❃ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Let me know in advance, but I'd be down! Riley won't be too happy, and you might get a punch or a kick back.
❃ RELATIONSHIPS: OOPS FORGOT TO FUCKIN EDIT THIS FIRST uhhhhh Riley is really focused on cheerleading? Also thinks she's straight which is hilarious. But I'm open to things, should development lead to it!
❃ PLAYER PERMISSIONS: I have a few issues I would like to be careful about in RP. I would appreciate discussions of sexual abuse or rape be avoided in threads with me or discussed prior. If those could also be marked in general, that would be very appreciated, as I like to read other people's threads. Similarly, if fingore could be marked, and to a lesser extent, suicide warned for. Thank you!

✯ Permissions

❃ ALCOHOLISM: So, this isn't something Riley personally is dealing with, but one of her teammates is a full-on alcoholic. A fifteen-year-old alcoholic. Yeah. It might come up in conversation, but if you want to avoid that please let me know! I'll mark all conversations, just know if she starts talking about Farrah that might be a point of interest.
❃ DRUG ADDICTION: Once again, Riley herself isn't having the issues, one of her teammates is. If discussion of painkiller addiction makes you uncomfortable, please let me know! I will again mark all mentions of it. The name you have to watch out for here is Chess (which is a real name in this show, I know).
❃ PARENTAL NEGLECT: One last one, and this time it DOES affect Riley! This is...more of an inference than outright canon? But Riley doesn't really have a warm and fuzzy relationship with her parents. It's nothing extreme or intense, but it's something to warn for nevertheless. I'll mark big things, but if you'd like to avoid it completely, let me know.
