Personality:
Rikku certainly is living proof that blondes are dumb. Other blondes would probably say that she gives them a 'bad name'. She is extremely ditzy and will give you one major headache with her ditzyness and stupid questions.
Other then being a ditz, Rikku is very obnoxious and loud. She will always say what is on her mind never thinking twice about wat she would want to say or what she shouldn't be blurting out. Never trust Rikku with a secret that is important to you. She will have that secret all over the place within moments unless someone is their to put a hand over her mouth.
On a brighter side Rikku is a very sweet and caring girl. She will do almost anything for her friends and to make sure they are all right. She will even help someone in need that she hasn't even known for 5 minutes. Rikku has a very big heart and is certainly caring.
Appearance:(picture will do)
History:
Rikku is a character in the game Final Fantasy X and X-2. She is a thief and a treasure hunter and sphere hunter. Though she is best known for her constant stealing, a talent of the spunky little girl.
Rikku first appears in Final Fantasy X in a full-body wetsuit, and offers aid to Tidus shortly after he first arrives in the vicinity of Spira's mainland. Their meeting takes place at Baaj Temple, an ancient temple of Yevon. After helping Tidus defeat a fiend, her Al Bhed comrades manhandle him, believing him to be a fiend in human form, and wonder whether or not to kill him. Annoyed, Rikku forbids them from doing so, and tells them to bring Tidus with them. As added insurance, she whispers that she's sorry in Tidus' ear then hits him hard in the stomach, winding him so much he passed out cold.
When Tidus wakes up on their salvage ship, Brother tries to interrogate him using hand signals. The other Al Bhed get frustrated when Tidus can't speak Al Bhed, but Rikku – surprising Tidus by speaking English – translates Brother's comical sign language, saying he could stay if he makes himself useful. Tidus then accompanies Rikku on a salvage operation to activate the power source of a sunken airship. After returning to the salvage ship, Brother and the others leave Tidus on deck. Rikku takes a shine to him and brings him something to eat – which he bolts down, only to choke because he ate too fast – and they strike up a fast friendship. When Tidus says he came from Zanarkand, Rikku is at first reluctant to believe him as, she explains, Zanarkand had been destroyed 1,000 years previously. As Tidus continues telling about himself, his life and Sin's attack on his home, Rikku realizes that he's genuinely clueless about Spira and that he'd been affected by Sin's toxin. She then promises to take him to Luca in the hope he might find someone he knows. However, Sin appeared and washed Tidus off the salvage ship into the sea, leaving Rikku and the other Al Bhed behind.
Afterward, Rikku and another Al Bhed went after Yuna, whom Cid had given top priority on his Summoner hunt. She and her friend lay in wait under the Moonflow river in an Extractor submersible Rikku piloted, waiting for Yuna to cross. While Yuna and her guardians are crossing the Moonflow along the path of her pilgrimage, Rikku's accomplice grabs Yuna from atop the shoopuf she was riding. But once Yuna was on board the Extractor, it was intercepted and put out of commission by Wakka and Tidus, who had become one of Yuna's guardians since their last meeting. Rikku felt sore from their attacks, and she just managed to make it to the riverbank, where she collapsed with exhaustion. As she lay there, she sees Tidus wander by and calls out to him. Rikku gingerly removes her wetsuit, and Tidus is thrilled to see his former acquaintance, whom he viewed as a younger sister. Rikku expresses her annoyance that Tidus "beat her up", tipping him off to her role in the kidnapping attempt. But Tidus does not disclose that fact – and her race, which he almost lets slip – to Yuna and the other guardians when they come along, especially since Wakka holds a strong hatred towards the Al Bhed in general. Having seen for herself how good they were at protecting their Summoner, Rikku realized she had to find another way to prevent Yuna from dying at the end of her pilgrimage. After explaining herself to Yuna and Lulu, and gaining the approval of Auron – who recognizes her as an Al Bhed after asking her to show him her eyes – Rikku became the last member to join Yuna's entourage of guardians.
Rikku's first stop as a guardian was Guadosalem, where Maester Seymour proposed to Yuna. It was then that Rikku notices that Tidus' reaction to this indicated that he had feelings for Yuna. When the party enters the Farplane, Rikku waits outside with Auron after explaining to Tidus her view about it.
The party then had to cross the Thunder Plains in order to reach Macalania. But as they enter the plains, Rikku panics. As it turns out, she suffered from severe astraphobia, left over from a mishap in the past where Brother accidentally hit her with a thunder spell he tried to aim at an attacking fiend. Because of this fear, she remains stricken during the journey across. However, seeing that Yuna was troubled about her upcoming marriage to Seymour, Rikku realizes that giving in to her phobia was selfish, and starts dealing with it there and then to offer her cousin some comfort.
As the party made their way through the Macalania Woods, Barthello came along and told them that he'd lost Dona – and Rikku realized some Al Bhed were responsible. As they approached Lake Macalania, Brother brought a large posse of Al Bhed to abduct Yuna once again – as well as a Crawler, a large machinegun-meets-cannon machina. After the party destroys the Crawler, Rikku tells Brother in the Al Bhed language that she has become a guardian. Wakka gets angry and vents his hatred of the Al Bhed and their machina at Rikku, who – far from taking it lying down – challenges his stubborn penchant for following Yevon's teachings without thinking for himself, and tries to reason with him. Despite this, other party members, such as Lulu and Kimahri, offer support for Rikku if Tidus rides with them on the snowmobiles. If Tidus rides with Rikku, she knew he was still ignorant to what will happen to Summoners if they go ahead with the Final Aeon, and that she was running out of excuses to keep it from him after their run-in with Brother. She also realized that telling him would break his heart since she knew of his feelings for Yuna. With all that in mind, Rikku tries to gently break it to him in veiled terms, but it passes over his hea]. Also, Rikku seems to embrace Tidus in a way that seems she has an almost crush on him.
At Macalania Temple, the party watches a sphere recording of the late Jyscal Guado, which tells of Seymour's true nature, and following that, confronted him and succeeded in killing him. Before Yuna could send him, Tromell Guado appears and is shocked upon seeing his leaders dead form. Rikku suggests showing Jyscal's sphere to prove their actions were justified, but Tromell draws it and shatters it before them. Having no choice but to run for it, the party eventually reaches the floor of Lake Macalania. However, Sin appears, and the group winds up being transported to Sanubia Desert – minus Yuna. Despite Wakka's angry scowl, Rikku offers to take them to the Al Bhed base, Home, in hope of finding her there with Cid. But as they near, Rikku is stricken with horror at a terrible sight: Home is under attack by Guado forces. As the guardians make their way through the chaos, they come across the Summoners Dona and Isaaru, whom the Al Bhed had already captured. Rikku, realizing she couldn't keep it from Tidus any longer, tells him that Yuna's pilgrimage will eventually result in her death, a revelation that – as she feared – devastates him. Yet despite Tidus' grief, it also puts the Al Bhed's actions into perspective for him: where once it's thought they were abducting Summoners out of banditry, in reality it's because they were trying to stop the "spiral of death" – the repeating cycle of Sin being defeated, the Summoner who did so being killed, and Sin returning – that had plagued Spira for a millennia. After this, Rikku and Wakka – who is horrified to see supporters of his beloved Yevon resort to such blatant violence, even to a race he hates – bury the hatchet and forget their previous falling out.
Finding that Yuna wasn't there, Rikku and the other guardians board Cid's airship, the Fahrenheit – the same airship Rikku and Tidus found underwater near Baaj Temple. Cid orders that Home be destroyed by the ship's weapons as they leave, which saddens Rikku deeply, despite Wakka's attempt to cheer her up[9]. Cid uses the ship's onboard sphere oscillo-finder to locate Yuna, and discover that she was at Bevelle, being forced to marry Seymour. Rikku is shocked that Seymour had returned, and Auron explains to her that he is "as dead as Jyscal was", implying he had returned as an unsent. Racing to Bevelle, the Fahrenheit was greeted by the giant guardian wyrm Evrae, which was defeated by the guardians, leaving them free to rescue Yuna. Surfing down the ship's harthingy lines towards the wedding ceremony at the Palace of St. Bevelle, they battled through Bevelle guards to crash the party. When Yuna flies off on her Aeon Valefor, Rikku throws an Al Bhed flash bomb at Seymour's feet to cover their escape, so they can meet Yuna at Bevelle Temple. When Tidus goes into the chamber of the fayth after Yuna, Maester Kinoc and Bevelle guards held up Rikku and the other guardians at gunpoint. As Tidus is about to come out with an unconscious Yuna, Rikku warns him not to – but Tidus comes out anyway, only to be captured. Rikku was present at Yuna's trial before the four Maesters, where Grand Maester Mika reveals the true nature of Yevon. Afterwards, Rikku, Wakka and Tidus are locked in the Via Purifico sewers, where they defeat Evrae – now in zombie Evrae Altana form – a second time.
Escaping Bevelle, the party crosses into the Calm Lands where Rikku and Tidus, knowing that the end of Yuna's pilgrimage was near, vow to think of a way to prevent Yuna's death and to finish Sin for good. Along the way over to Mount Gagazet, Rikku and Tidus discuss how they hadn't thought of anything to help Yuna yet. Tidus tells her he's certain they will find something in the Zanarkand ruins that will help, which impressed Rikku with the way he sounded like a leader. But as the latter starts to walk on, Rikku is shocked when Seymour appears. Tidus tells her to run ahead and get Auron and the others, but Rikku stubbornly refuses to let Tidus fight him alone. On Tidus' insistence, however, she runs to fetch the others in the nick of time. After defeating Seymour, Tidus reveals that Sin is Jecht, his own father, who became Braska's Final Aeon ten years previously.
As they neared Zanarkand, Rikku feels upset that no one had thought of a way to stop Yuna dying yet, but she remains adamant that they'll see each other again. But Rikku's wish came true when, as they met with the unsent Lady Yunalesca, Yuna refused the Final Aeon. Afterwards, Rikku and Wakka came up with the idea that they should use the Hymn of the Fayth to lure Sin into a trap, but Lulu beat both of them from telling it to the others.
Her personality is perky and optimistic, although her positive nature hides her being concerned and worried. As an Al Bhed, she has suffered discrimination from the Yevonite majority. Despite this, she managed to keep a positive outlook and wanted to save Yuna from vainly giving her life with the Final Summoning. Rikku also has something of a sibling-like friendship with Tidus, supported by their similar personalities and their deep devotion to Yuna. Rikku also turns to Tidus for comfort at times, such as, when crossing the Thunder Plains, she collapses in fright and grabs hold of him. Some also believe that there also could be more to Tidus and her relationship due to this comfort, and the conversations held.
Two years later, Rikku, now 17, joins the Gullwings, a band of sphere hunters led by Brother. The only character from Final Fantasy X other than Yuna to be playable in Final Fantasy X-2, Rikku remains steadfastly loyal to Yuna, giving her support when she discusses her feelings concerning the loss of Tidus, and her hopes to find him once more. In the two years that passed between the two games, Rikku managed to overcome her astraphobia – by camping out on the Thunder Plains for a week.[
Since the conclusion of Final Fantasy X, Brother and Rikku had a falling out with Cid. When the Gullwings look for a sphere among the Zanarkand ruins, they find that Cid and ex-summoner Isaaru had turned the once sacred place into a tourist attraction, which comes as a shock to Yuna and Rikku. When Cid asks whether they have a bone to pick and Yuna replies "You bet I do," Rikku tells him it's just like turning the ruins of Home into a theme park, causing him to retreat to the Thunder Plains to sulk.
Rikku meets up with her old friend Gippal – now the leader of the Al Bhed Machine Faction – who, being quite the ladies' man, would tease Rikku with his flirtatious jokes, including one about them having "made quite the couple" . Also, as Paine kept quiet about her past – and also that Gippal jumped a mile when he saw her, as well as the other faction leaders seeming to know her – Rikku would sometimes prod and poke her about it, only to succeed in annoying her. However, in their journey, Paine eventually tells them about her role as a sphere recorder for Crimson Squad, alongside Gippal, Baralai and Nooj.
Upon meeting her young friend Calli on the Mi'ihen Highroad, Rikku and the Gullwings decide to help her catch a Chocobo. Later, during the Mi'ihen Highroad investigation sidequest, Rikku is one of the suspects when some machina malfunctioned after the Gullwings did this. If clues are arranged in a specific manner, Rikku is named the culprit and assigned clean-up service to make up for it.
In Kingdom Hearts II, Rikku appears in a fairy form along with Yuna and Paine. They are at first working for Maleficent then swtich to join Leon after they here of Sora's troubles. They decide not to steal his treasure and instead give him some of their own.
