Ri is pretty…but she’s cunning and intelligent, too. She astounded most of her tutors in home-schooling, and continues to take the occasional college class to keep her mind sharp. She stopped reading mystery novels once she started figuring out ‘whodunnit’ too easily, and she has no problems using her ‘superior intellect’ to run CIRCLES around some of her father’s ‘business friends’ without them realizing they’ve been thoroughly trounced mentally until such a point where she can feign innocence. She also has no issues, ethical or whatsoever, LYING. Often, when she needs to. And her intelligence helps her to keep track of her lies, who she told them to, and who NOT to use them on. She sees lying as just another tool to get where and what she wants…so why not use it? And to her, most people are just puppets to be played, chess pieces to be moved around, and as a result is a manipulative woman. Be it with words, bribery, or playing on someone’s misplaced affections for her, Ri prefers to get OTHERS to do what she wants if she can. And she has the self-control to pull it off. She knows when to shut up and keep from striking out. She knows when to back away from something, despite the blow it would be to her pride, and knows when to keep her emotions OUT of the equation. Usually. There are, of course, bound to be a few exceptions here and there. Even her self-control can only take so much.
And her manipulation isn’t helped by the fact that she’s one of those people who, when she puts her mind to it, cannot be deterred. She’s driven, and will pursue a goal with every resource she has, every tactic she knows, and her full conviction. It may not always show, being the sneaky thing she is, but if Ri sets a goal…hell will freeze over before she lets something as trivial as a bump in the road cause her to give up. Sadly…this conviction also seems to extend to her grudges. Forgiveness? Ri believes in no such thing unless the person seeking to earn it bends over backwards and likely nearly dies for her. She holds grudges like most do a cigarette habit, and very, very little can convince her to let go of them. The level of torment she wants to inflict on the person she holds the grudge against depends on the strength of the grudge.
Ri is also a leader. She knows people, can attract them to her, and knows how to lead them. She has an aura about her that seems to draw people in, and knows how to speak to inspire others to follow her, to join her. Sure, she runs into people that doesn’t work with…but she just moves along and charms the next person she deems ‘useful’ into going along with things. And most of those who DO follow her don’t know who she really is and how she’s really like…However, if Ri considers you one of ‘hers’ (be it as ‘property’, ‘servant’, or ‘friend’), she WILL watch out for you. She’ll make sure you’re well taken care of, she’ll shower you with praise when you succeed, and if anyone tries to hurt you…she’ll take care of that nuisance for you. If you’re hers, she rewards your loyalty with her own. This can also be a detriment. Be it from the death of her mother, her broken childhood, or something else, Ri has a VERY strong desire to hold onto whatever and whoever she has claimed as hers. She doesn’t like sharing, and has…ISSUES if someone tries to leave her, or someone breaks one of her things. Needless to say, there’s a GREAT deal of cursing and creative comments about one’s lineage. If you caught her on a good day. A bad day? She might get violent.
And last…Ri is a sadistic b***h. Ri loves the feeling she gets when she causes others pain; mental, emotional, or physical. And if she can convince someone it’s ‘good for them’ or convince them someone ELSE is the source, all the better. Sometimes she can keep this streak of hers under control…other times, not so much. The only ones who seem to really escape it are animals and prepubescent children. If you fall into those two categories, you’ll experience a Ri that is rather sweet (in an awkward sort of way). To Ri, animals are treasured confidants, and children are treasures to be nurtured and guided and loved.
No one ever said Moricorm was a simple person.
