She usually doesn’t take a lot seriously and treats life like one big game. However she can be nice underneath it all, she just tends not to think about the consequences of things. However she has been through a bit in her life, as a demi god’s life is usually never easy. She is a little bitter and resentful and she tries to cover it up by joking around.
HISTORY

History:
It all began when one day when a young lawyer named Andrea Caught the eye of Hermes, yes that Hermes, the Greek God. Anyway Andrea and Hermes were in a relationship for a while and when he left her he left her with a little gift, a child, a daughter who she then named Erica. It wasnt an easy life, Andrea had to work hard to finish paying off her student loans and pay to support a young girl. However Erica, nicknamed Rikki, grew up a happy child and was very much loved by her mother, till one day when Rikki was seven her mother was killed by a drunk driver leaving Rikki orphaned and alone.
The young girl was then placed in the foster system. It was almost impossible to find a good fit for her, her ADHD and Dyslexia always made school hard for her, and she always seemed to be getting into trouble whether or not she intended it, usually because of some fight or prank or something, or some unexplainable happening that she always seemed to be in the middle of. Her foster families didnt know how to deal with her most of the time so she never stayed long in any home or school.
Rikki was an unhappy, angry child. She usually spent a lot of time hanging out in the streets to avoid coming home and would act out just for fun, usually petty theft and vandalism, or some kind of prank that would get her in trouble, she only had a few friends to talk to. Then one day when she was thirteen her life changed again. She was walking with her friend Garret (a funny looking boy with a strange limp) when they were attacked by a couple huge guys, but the funny thing about those guys is that they both only had one eye, right in the middle of their heads and were saying strange things about tasty demigods and satyrs. Rikki didnt know what was going on, but it seemed like Garret did. Garret tried to protect her while they ran and tried to get away it was a long hard chase and one of the scariest moments of Rikki's life, but they eventually managed to get away.
Rikki would never forget how shaken Garret looked as he kept running and forcing her to keep up saying things like "not safe anymore" "Gotta get back to camp." He then persuaded her to come with him and told her she had to come with him in order to be safe. She was confused as to what was going on and he never seemed to give her a straight answer, he just kept talking about some kind of camp. However at the time it looked like it was either go with Garret or get eaten by the one eyed freaks or something worse, so they continued on their way till they reached Long Island Sound and then Camp Half Blood. She then found out to her surprise that those stupid stories the greeks used to tell were real, and she was a child of one of them. Although it took a lot of getting used to for her, she never paid attention when they were learning about ancient cultures, she always thought they were dry and stupid and now her life revolves around one of those cultures. After a week or so at Camp she was then claimed by Hermes, the god of thieves, messengers, and travelers.
However life at Camp Half Blood at the time wasnt like any summer camp, it was more like a military camp and she arrived in the middle of a war that could end western civilization itself. It took a while for Rikki to understand the seriousness of the situation but she did eventually buckle down and fought with her camp mates in the final year of titan war, experiencing the more serious side of demigod life. Although her recklessness did get her some pretty bad injuries and near death experiences. While her hotheadedness and arrogance did make her a bit of a liability at first along with her not wanting to listen to others, but she eventually learned how to work with her camp mates in battle. Although after the war she still retained a bit of her cocky attitude however it has leveled out some. She has also kept her blunt, mouthy attitude and her love of pranks, although she has yet to reach the level of the Stoll Brothers she is working her way up there.
