Darkriver is a strong willed, ambitious and highly intelligent warrior with a natural skill set in politics and leadership. She's assertive, passionate and extremely driven towards her goals. Although she's weak with regards to building and maintaining relationships, she knows how to motivate a group and lead them towards a common goal. She's very firm in what she believes in and although she isn't very expressive of her emotions, she cares deeply for her friends and clanmates and does anything and everything within her power to fight for and protect them. With her extreme intelligence, she can be somewhat unfeeling and struggle to connect with those around her emotionally because of how logic focused and closed off she is. Many cats also find her to be unbearably arrogant which she can be at times, only made all the more infuriating because of how more often than not she does know better and she is right. Despite all this, she does long for that connection with others and tries hard to build up emotional repore with her friends and loved ones. Her judgement is rarely clouded by her own personal emotions and when put in a position of leadership or power she is ruthless and formidiable and although she is hated by her enemies she commands their respect.

Darkriver is also rather bold and outspoken when there's something she feels strongly about. She has a powerful temper and as time goes on her anger becomes icier and more calculated. She's dangerously vengeful, always keeping score and getting even. Loyalty and honesty are extremely important to her and when she's betrayed she feels it deeply. Her trust is hard to earn and maintain but once she gives it and opens her heart to somebody that is her ultimate sign of trust and love. She fears vulnerability deeply and works hard to keep her soft spots hidden from everybody, even those she trusts.
