"Get out of my way."
Riku is an infamous demigod, a dragoness that most everyone knows, and most likely fears. Her reputation is legendary; having threatened and saved many multiple times. She is often known as a wildcard - a "pick your poison and hope she'll be merciful."

Not quite chicken scratch or childish, but not readable at times. She doesn't focus on bettering it.
Riku has a slim build, standing tall for her height, no doubt an inherited trait from her SkyWing side. She is well-muscled, an indicator of the continous training she does. Riku has large SkyWing wings and spines trailing down her back, but for the most part, her body resembles that of a SeaWing's. Webbed talons, sails, Aquatic markings, and gills all are present on Riku's body, and her spines have odd droplet-shaped bioluminescence markings protruding off the ends.
Her main scales are a dark navy-purple colour and her underside scales are a periwinkle colour. Due to her dark colouration, most mistake her for being a SeaWing and NightWing hybrid, but this is false. Riku's eyes are a sharp, ice blue colour.
Riku doesn't wear clothes, not even armour.
Riku's only form of accessory is the conductive pendant made by her mother to help her control her powers and a leather strap for her sword. The pendant is made of a conductive material in hopes to absorb the output of power she has, for with out it, the power can make her act irrational and increasingly violent.
Her right ear is full of dark piercings of various sizes and shapes. All of these are from her own doing.

Riku doesn't know.
She has killed the parents of someone she's close to.
Riku doesn't know.
Riku's outward hostility is no lie, but it is her most defining trait, one that overshadows many other layers of herself, the layers she wishes didn't exist.
She is typically quiet and intimidating before being provoked, but Ri can get quite loud when her feathers are ruffled. She is persistent and can hold grudges for a long time, which is bad for her emotional health, but she doesn't care. Riku has a paranoid delusion that everyone secretly hates her, so she's given up on trying to be nice at this point.
Riku has the emotional maturity of a child, even though she pretends to be much more composed than she really is. Her emotions are strong, and her mind is a beast. There are a thousand voices in her head, and after the incident, they were screaming. She heard it all.
Her brain is wired differently than others. She feels no remorse for killing those that have died to her claws. They just didn't matter to her ever, even after she killed them. What scares her most is that she would do it again. Riku pretends to not care, even though she is paranoid about her friendships being a lie, and she treasures each and every one of her friends. She is scared that her own thoughts - her own twisted and chaotic mind - will snatch them from her with talons that aren't her own.
However, she pretends to be strong, but only for her own fragile self-esteem. She was scarred deeply by the death of her mother, and she doesn't know how she will deal with losing anyone else close to her. Ri doesn't want anymore attachments than she already has that would just further her weakness.
She never cries in front of anyone, not ever. The only emotion she will ever show to others is rage, disgust, glimpses of happiness, or blood lust. She doesn't want to be weak, and because of this, she feels trapped in her own mind with her twisted, twisted thoughts. The call of destruction is sweet in her mind, and it will always be there.
No one shows her love. Her friends are always fighting with each other, dealing with their own problems, and they don't care when she wants to be genuine.
She's forgotten what peace and love felt like, so there's no way she could ever give it back to the people who have unknowingly trapped her.
Riku is a trapped monster.
Riku fears her own mind and what her powers could do if she let them take control of her body. These two things combined petrify her, and pointing this out can make her use her powers less than normal in a fight. However, this is just a temporary fix to problems, as when she fights, her powers automatically ramp up as a defense. Using this tactic is more effective before or after a fight, or when she's not in combat at all. Reminding her of her past attacks can definitely scare her.
Despite how much she acts like she cares about no one, she is scared of how much she cares about her few friends. Riku would kill for them. Riku would die for them. If they were in harm's way, Riku would do anything to get them out of it, even if it would hurt her or make her push herself way too far. She knows this will likely hurt her more than it will help her, but she can't drop her bonds. She is too attached. She couldn't accept it if any of them died. She wouldn't accept it. Riku would try to bring them back. Riku would do anything.
Riku's emotions are easily toyed with, so she tends to keep them hidden or covered by anger and rage. She has emotional breakdowns often, but they are all secret, and no one knows how fragile she really is. Riku feels unloved, but she has done absolutely nothing to make her feelings known. She thinks she deserves it, so she keeps it inside. She keeps it a secret.
Her reputation is a sore spot for her, as she never felt understood from the pedestal that everyone puts her on, and this makes her doubt her actions and feel alone even when she's not. On the other hand, she can act irrationally to "keep up" this toxic repuation though, going as far to insult others unprovoked and be generally as untouchable as a dragon could be. This is to keep an emotional distance to drive away future attachments other may try to make with her. It's a repetitive cycle that is incredibly harmful to her physical and emotional health.
Sometimes, in the right context, mentioning the death of her mother can cause her to go into a downward spiral of emotion. Even though it wasn't her fault and she couldn't have done anything to stop it, Riku will always blame herself for not being strong enough. It can cause her to become extremely vulnerable, however, if it is said mindlessly and in pure hate to her, she will ignore it and look down on you for it. She may gain temporary strength from it, so exploiting this weakness can be a double-edged sword, but when done right, it can devastate the dragoness.

After her transformation, her tribal skills have faded a lot, but she is still a fast swimmer and can breathe underwater for about three hours before her gills give out. After that, Ri can hold her breath for about an hour. She is still an incredibly fast swimmer due to her constant training, but with her limited gills, she's working on increasing her lung capacity and breath-holding. She inherited no traits from her SkyWing side.
Riku is an extremely good fighter. She trains almost every hour of the day, even at the dead of night in the middle of the woods. The only time she isn't training is her break days and her "prank days," as well as the two to six hours of sleep she gets every night. She is good with talon-to-talon, and her fighting style is incredibly unpredictable and adaptable to a range of foes. This is one of her best skills due to her dedication and constant practice.
She is less skilled with weapons than her own talons, but she still trains with them on her one of four training days, which is still a lot. Her preferred weapon is her sword, which is imbued with her native element of electricity. She is a master with it, but she still wants to hone her skills.
Riku is fluent in three languages; the common Draconic known to all dragons, the Greek her father spoke, and her mother spoke a lot of French. She is more fluent in both Greek and French than she is Draconic, as it's what she grew up on before knowing Draconic.
Being a child of the lightning god, Riku has immense control over electricity and lightning. She can manipulate it in all forms and can make shapes and weapons from controlled bolts. In a human setting, Riku could discharge enough lightning to black out a street of homes.
This is a power of Riku's that she was not born with. She has these abilities due to a blood sacrifice she performed. As a result, she calls herself a Stormborn, after how these powers manifested in the form of a huge storm. This ritual transformed her, making her more god than mortal.
Everytime she kills something - be it mortals, monsters, or animals - she gains power from their physical, magical, and spiritual strength. This allows her to go way past her limits and can give her addicting rushes of power that sweep her off her feet. This augmented power eventually fades after a certain period of time if she doesn't keep killing until she is at base power again.
It mainly enhances her speed, strength, and natural demigod abilities by exponential levels when used excessively. Riku rarely uses this power, if ever, because the monsters and animals she wants to kill are few and far between. She doesn't want to kill mortals either, even though they would give her the greatest boost in power.
Riku prefers to not talk about her history.

Zeus is Riku's godly father, and despite the numerous demigod children he's fathered, she has a good relationship with him. However, after the death of Cordelia, Riku's mother, they've drifted apart and act more like old friends.
