Word of warning: If you do wish to converse with me then please do have some substance to you PMs as random animal noises and "hi" won't receive a reply as there is nothing there to reply to. I'm 23 irl and out of this pixelated word and would like to have an intelligent conversation.


About the thief

My Home


Rikku is the daughter of Cid, the younger sister of Brother, and younger cousin of Yuna. Her mother was killed by a rampaging machina some time after Rikku's birth. As she herself wanted more siblings -which was made impossible because of her mother's death -she plans to have lots of children when she marries so that her children will never have to feel alone.[3] Rikku also suffered from severe astraphobia as a result of her brother accidentally hitting her with a thunder spell when they were younger while trying to target a fiend that was attacking her. This fear become apparent when Rikku become apprehensive about travelling onto the Thunder Plains and remains stricken with panic-induced agitation during the journey across those lands.
Rikku first appeared an aid to Tidus shortly after he first arrived in the vicinity of Spira's mainland. Their meeting took place at an ancient Yevon temple known as "Baaj Temple." After helping Tidus defeat a fiend, she prevented her brother and their Al Bhed comrades -who thought he too was a fiend -from killing him. Later, while Yuna and her guardians were crossing the Moonflow along the path of Yuna's pilgrimage, Rikku was part of an Al Bhed team who tried to abduct Yuna in a machina, to prevent her from completing her pilgrimage -which would cost Yuna her life -only to be stopped by Tidus and Wakka. Tidus finds her when she regains consciousness after washing ashore- he recognizes her and learns of her role in the kidnapping attempt, but does not disclose the latter fact. After explaining herself to Yuna and Lulu, and gaining Auron's approval, Rikku became the last member to join Yuna's entourage of guardians, though Wakka -who was deeply prejudiced toward the Al Bhed at that time -was clueless that Rikku was an Al Bhed until her brother tried to abduct Yuna once again, this time near Macalania Temple.
Her personality is perky and optimistic, although her positive nature hides her being concerned and worried. As an Al Bhed, she has suffered discrimination from the Yevonite majority. Despite this, she managed to keep a positive outlook and wanted to save Yuna from vainly giving her life with the Final Summoning. Rikku also has something of a sibling-like friendship with Tidus, supported by their similar personalities and their deep devotion to Yuna.


Two years later, Rikku, now17 years old and a member of the Gullwings, led by Brother. Rikku is steadfastly loyal to Yuna, giving her support when she discusses her feelings concerning the loss of Tidus, and her hopes to find him once more. In the two years that passed between the two games, Rikku managed to overcome her astraphobia by camping out on the Thunder Plains for a week. She also has a tendency to use odd expressions such as "disasteriffic." She is the only main character in the game with no significant plot role.
Yuna, Rikku and Paine reunited after being disbanded three months after the game ended. While exploring the Yadonoki Tower, it was later found out that Rikku spent her time searching for sunken machina on the ocean floor. She showed a bit of annoyance to Yuna and Paine, but it was because she felt she was cut off from them, and reluctant to consider that they may have lost their friendship in the times (Yuna living with Tidus, Lulu and Wakka in Besaid, and Paine traveling independently). After realizing that they all share that sentiment, all three girls promised each other that they will write and keep in touch, ensuring that their friendship will never go away.

Definitely. If you did that, they would put you in a smaller box with white walls. We don't want that.

Damn. You're afraid of spiders? That ruins all possible fun you could have with your folks. XD What can you handle that they can't?

The Narnia eight? Nice. I have them on my shelf, for when I get done with the Dexter Trilogy. XD Please go look up Jeff Lindsay and his 'Dexter' series. (Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter, Dexter in the Dark.) Fantastic series. Not enjoying the family, I take it? I've learned putting spiders in inconvenient places makes them leave faster. -nod-

-unfairly pulls the plug, grinning- People can do without life support for a few minutes, so I think you'll manage. Stock up on books and maybe pick up a temporary hobby. Something new.

As long as you aren't doing the 'dead' thing. XD I can see why you are trying to build up tolerance. Good luck with the move. I'm sure it will go well, and solve problems.
