| Soclla Tribe | Rika

[attr="class","agar"]OVERALL || Rika is a rather small girl, with a well-defined muscular body (as defined as it can be, for how slim she is). She is tanner than those of her tribe usually are, considering she spends much of her time high in the trees as opposed to beneath the canopy of leaves like the others. Her hair is short, choppy, and frames her face in locks of brown (some areas lightened to a dirty blonde from years in the sun). Her eyes are a vivid, emerald green and she is often found in clothing she has made herself from various hunts. Her most prized possession is the necklace she wears, made up of a strip of leather tied to the fang of a large Lycanroc.

DETAILS ||

• Her hair is brown, some areas lightened to blonde from the sun. It is cut rather short, reaching her shoulders in choppy layers that frame her face. Her bangs are most usually parted down the middle, always falling and blowing into her face.
• Her face is rather heart-shaped, with the chin being very pointed and short and the top of her head being quite rounded. Her cheeks are a bit chubby, as well, and her eyes seem abnormally large. While they are, in fact, pretty big, the fact that her eyes are so vividly colored and that there is more green to her eye than there is white surely plays a part in this illusion.
• She has some freckles sprayed across her nose, though they are very light and only noticeable in direct sunlight or very close observation.
• Rika is a very natural woman. She doesn't care about her appearance, only about being comfortable, so she does not do unnecessary things to groom herself. She cuts her hair to keep it from becoming bothersome, but other than that she does not shave her legs, underarms, etc because she does not see the point in doing so. It's a waste of time for her.
• In contrast to her large eyes, Rika has a very small nose that turns upward at the end and a very small mouth as well, complete with relatively thin lips.
• She has a birthmark on the right side of her neck in the shape of a splatter of paint and her body is covered in various scars from various hunting escapades. Her most prominent scar, reaching from her ribs to her hip on the left side of her body, is embarrassingly not from hunting at all. She fell out of a tree.
• Rika has never worn makeup, nor as she ever experienced the urge to wear makeup. She has never had a reason to do so, nor has she been raised in a society that equated makeup to beauty. She has, of course, seen those around her age and younger occasionally wear makeup, but she always blamed it on the Assimilation and thought it was silly.
• Her favorite feature about herself is her hands, because they have never failed her. She adores their various scars and nicks, because they bring back memories. Her least favorite feature about herself is her hair, because of how annoying it is. She used to cut it to the scalp, but grew tired of accidentally nicking herself with the knife when doing so.

[attr="class","agar"]Rika is a huntress to her core. From morning to night, she spends her time hunting, with rarely any time to spare. She is very focused on her duty in the tribe; time she doesn't spend hunting adds to the chance that the people she loves and cares deeply about will not have enough food in their bellies. Her feelings about being a hunter are rather conflicted. She loves and respects pokemon far too much to enjoy having to hunt them, but she understands that it is an essential part of survival for her tribe. Ironically, she herself avoids eating meat at all costs, simply from having to do the killing herself for so long. Meat is no longer appetizing to her. Like most of her tribe, Rika has developed basic skill in the art of healing. In fact, she thoroughly enjoys the act of healing and would have gone down that path if it weren't for her natural ability in the art of hunting at such a young age. It was only natural that she become a hunter.

Rika experiences emotion very strongly, and not only those feelings that belong to her : she is also extraordinarily empathetic. Despite this, however, she is very analytical. She may experience emotion more strongly than some others, but she does not let this drive her actions. She will always push logic ahead of emotion, and if she has any control over it, will never let anyone else experience the emotions she feels. She would rather deal with them in private, and not burden anyone else with the flood of feeling within her heart.

Rika is also very introverted, to an extent. When it comes to those she is very close to (such as friends or family) she can be very social. Growing up in a tribe environment has blessed her with well-developed people skills and robust social relationships, she just isn't naturally inclined that way. Social interactions tend to sap her energy, leaving her in need of extensive alone time to rest and recuperate. She does prefer to be alone; perhaps that is one reason she grew so fond of spending time high in the trees where no one else in her tribe cares to dwell.

When it comes to meeting new people, Rika is very quiet and analytical. She does tend to be very judgmental, but not in the typically negative sense of the word. She is very receptive to change and new ideas, and tries not to judge people harshly. She simply prefers to get to know the ins and outs of people as quickly as possible so that she knows just how to act around them, and just how much she can trust them.

Rika takes her duty as a huntress very seriously. She puts it above anything else (even herself, sometimes). While she is especially skilled, you will never catch her admitting to such a thing. She underplays her accomplishments, despite craving for someone, anyone to notice them. Complimenting her talent and hard work as a huntress is the easiest way to bring a blush to her cheeks, a stutter to her lips, and help her feel more comfortable around someone. Her humble nature, mixed with her skill, can often lead certain people to taking advantage of her and her personal inability to say no. There have been plenty of times when work has been pushed upon her, only for someone to take the credit for themselves. If for any reason she feels as though someone is treating her similarly, that is the easiest way to push her away and cause her to become incredibly distant and cold.

Rika's circle of beloveds is incredibly small, currently only consisting of close family (her mother, father, and younger brother). When it comes to those that she loves and cares deeply for, she would do anything to take care of them and protect them. She puts obvious effort into making people happy, when she cares. She is best known for always arriving with a gift in hand to show her appreciation and love.

STRENGTHS || Supportive, reliable, patient, imaginative, observant, enthusiastic, loyal, hard-working

WEAKNESSES || Humble, shy, takes things too personally, represses her feelings to the point of it being unhealthy, overloads herself with too much responsibility, reluctant to change, at times too altruistic
