Riley

Background Personality Riley is generally a curious, intelligent, and nice girl with a passion for hockey. Riley's emotions contribute to her main behaviors in the film. For much of her childhood, she was a very cheerful, playful, joking, and even somewhat clumsy girl. However, as a teenager, Riley becomes more sentimental, shy, and unsure of herself as her other emotions begin to change. When her family moves to San Francisco, she begins to feel more worried, upset, and lonely. Her emotions at this point try to help her adjust to the new life. Riley may doubt herself, but she doesn't always regret her actions. Riley really misses Minnesota and can't cope with the transition. However, Riley is afraid to tell her parents her true feelings because they want her to accept the new home and because she has always been their "happy little girl." However, as time goes on, Riley becomes emotionally vulnerable, entering a sort of numb state of mind and reaching the point where she attempts to run away, almost losing herself in the process. But it is here that she realises that she had almost given up on the things that matter most to her in life and realises the risk just in time. Returning home and admitting to her parents that she is very depressed, she learns to accept San Francisco as her parents comfort her over the personal loss, and Riley (with the guidance of her emotions) eventually adjusts to her new home in San Francisco. APPEARANCE She has very light freckles around her nose and also has a noticeable gap between her two front teeth. Riley has a wide nose like both of her parents, although hers is a bit round. Her hair has a small fringe directed to the right. In the second film, when she is now thirteen years old, her hair becomes lighter blonde and has grown longer, and she puts it up in a ponytail.
