- History:
Born in Aomori, Japan [Edo Period]: Ririka was a happy and loved child, raised on the outskirts of the woods far from any village or human influence. The young yuki-onna had her mother to look up to, a yokai who was both as alluring as she was frightening to the humans, but to Riri she was her world. Her mother took every opportunity to spoil her daughter, having felt like she needed to make up for the lack of a father figure or literally any other contact in their life. Still, they were both very content. One snowy day, the young yokai, with permission of her mother, went off to play by the trees behind their humble home while her mother prepared food for the day. The bells of Ririka’s laughter sounded, reassuring that while they hadn’t had much, the little girl could still make the best of their situation… till it went quiet. Alarmed, the woman rushed outside to see an adult human, a warrior, holding a blade to her only daughters’ neck. It took one incident with the humans for the pair to uproot their entire life and flee, blood staining a mothers’ sleeves.
Sanctuary was a god send and mother was more than happy to build up a new life for her small family. The move took its toll on Ririka, as she struggled with a whole new wave of studies and interaction she never once experienced before. She grew more closed and meeker with everyone but her mother, not having the heart to fault someone who lost everything for her own safety. Ririka finished her studies with making little to no meaningful friendships but, all the time alone was put into focus and drive as she discovered her love of music. It was all very lonely till finally one day, in order to have change, you make change. She needed that push for independence and a social life, so she moved out of her loving mothers’ home with her blessings, hoping it would throw herself into the clockwork of the city. She found a rinky-dink little apartment, got herself a dog for companionship, and works at the coffee shop Moonbucks during the day.
Being on her own forced some much-needed interaction, where she learned things she couldn’t in school. She finally got to interact with the tons of monsters of the city because of her job, and how she learned her love for music could be something more than just a hobby and got the technology and know-how to upload her music onto her bootube channel. How she met a broody looking vampire and made her first meaningful friendship… other than her dog. Ririka really came to love the city of Sanctuary.
