Character Information ;
Name: Riku
Name of Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Canon/AU/Other Game CR: Canon.
Reference: Have his wiki page!
Canon Point: Right after him and Sora step through the door to Light.
Setting:
Personality:
“I know it’s somewhere out there - the strength that I need.”
“Strength for what?”
“To protect the things that matter.”
Riku is pretty much the opposite of Sora; where Sora is cheerful and optimistic, Riku leans more towards blunt and practical. That being said, Riku isn't really emo or anything - he just has a more realistic way of interpreting things. Though Riku does have his reasons for being more aloof and quieter than he used to be back when he was 15, where he was a lot more cocky and a lot more competitive. However, through his journeys in the games, he has multiple realizations and through these realizations, he comes to terms with the fact that he had let his heart become weak by giving in to the darkness. Thus, if he can't get rid of the darkness in his heart, he decides to use it without turning from the light like before. He matured immensely from these realizations, and after leaving the past behind him when he left Castle Oblivion, he also left behind a lot of his former traits. They're substituted for an older demeanor that almost seems jaded and much too old for a sixteen year old boy. But Riku has seen and learned way more than any boy his age could, has experienced dangers and life-altering situations that probably no one his age could understand, and in the end, it makes sense. It's because of what he's experienced that make him who he is and he realizes that it's not just about himself or independence anymore - it's about protecting what is precious and what's important; something that he had valued very much before he lost his way.
However, later in the game, we still see glimpses of Riku's "younger" personality through his sense of humor. While warning the Emperor in the Land of Dragons about the Nobodies and Heartless, he reassures them saying that three "wise guys" (Sora, Donald, and Goofy) will be there soon to defend the palace. He still teases Sora, though not as frequently, calling him a sap and telling him to get a hold of himself, and even cracks a joke about Donald and Goofy's level of intelligence. The competitive edge isn't there anymore, and there's a difference between the way Riku used to tease him then compared to now.
Though Riku has grown up a lot, he still expresses much remorse and guilt for the things he'd done in the past. He admits to Sora that he didn't want to be found when Sora went to search for him, saying that he didn't want anyone to see him in his state. He almost refuses to go back home with Sora and Kairi, not knowing how to face everyone after everything that had happened. Yet this really proves how much Riku has matured since the beginning of Kingdom Hearts and despite the fact that he focuses much on repentance, it's amazing to see (and experience indirectly) the things that has happened to him and knowing that he survived it all. Riku changes the most out of everyone in the game, and lot of his personality is made up of multiple layers.
Generally, Riku is honestly... an honestly good guy. He truly cares deeply for his friends and is extremely loyal to them. He won't ever betray you unless it's honestly for your own good and though you might get really pissed off at him then, when you finally figure it out, you'll probably be feeling the opposite. Depending on the situation, he can be rather painfully blunt, or really serious when giving advice and usually, it's good advice that he's gained through his experiences. Riku is still a teenager (even though he seems a lot more mature than one), however, and mostly covers up his teenage instincts/urges with silences and deep thinking. He's not so much a loner as he just doesn't want to be a burden to his friends or anyone, even though his friends are just as loyal to him as he is.
