Rikka
Abilities
[Cloak]
Rikka can create a veil of shadow around her and in a short surrounding area to make her less visible to her opponents. Great for stealth and surprise attacks. (She tends to put her hood up before she does this though that is not required to cast the spell.)
[Shadow Spikes]
Rikka can create spikes made out of the shadows around her or made by her to both come out of terrain or be used as a projectile. The spike's length can vary dramatically.
[Dark Swamp]
Creates a small area on the ground that does slow sharp damage whenever someone steps in it. Their vision is also darkened when within this area.
[Dark Forest]
Similar to Dark Swamp, but this one causes tree-like spikes to quickly grow out of the shadowy ground to attack and stab opponents caught within the area.
[Shadow Ball]
A quick, basic small-medium shadow ball projectile.
[Theft]
Rikka’s agility and having to steal to survive on the strreets has made her good at stealing items and weapons, she could easily to this to opponents to use their equipment against them.
[Flight]
Of course, her wings let her fly. They are weak to arrows and bullets and are retractable.
[Fighting Style]
Rikka has zero regard for technique and grace when fighting. She will try to win by any means necessary and isn’t afraid to trick or steal from opponents to do so. She is not formally trained at all, and tends to rush in to overwhelm opponents quickly, occasionally flying away to dodge enemy attacks or using Cloak for stealth. When she’s particularly angry, she can fight more akin to a wild animal relying on pure instinct.
Strengths
-
Determination and grit - Rikka’s determination to save Niko is basically impossible to break and she can tough through some serious pain for it.
-
Speed. Rikka is physically above average and quite fast and nimble. She uses this to avoid attacks and steal items from opponents.
-
Willing to take risks in battle.
-
Flight gives her high mobility.
Weaknesses
-
Impulsive. She typically acts on instinct and barely strategies on her own.
-
A tendency to assume the worst in others and lack of listening skills makes it hard for her to listen to Niko’s (often intelligent) strategy suggestions. It also makes it hard (but not impossible) for her to empathise with her opponents.
-
Her aggression makes her hard to think clearly and makes it easy for her to be tricked by clever opponents. She’s quick to anger too.
-
Rikka tends to tough through pain to a point that’s dangerous. Unless Niko is directly healing her, she’ll rarely take a moment to catch her breath in battle even when she’s able.
-
She has a limited amount of magic to use per fight, if it runs out she can only rely on her flight and physical attacks.
-
Her wings are weak to arrows and bullets.
-
Flying takes a lot of energy out of her fast.

Author's Notes
Not pictured yet, but Rikka’s “gloves” are actually part of a black boat necked shirt she wears under her fleece.
