Personality: Riley's pretty much your not-so-average girl-which is, after all, what you'd expect from a Ravenclaw. She's creative, and longs to someday be a writer, for both Muggle and Wizarding worlds, reopening doors to fictional authors. She loves to learn, and is viewed as one of the sharper tools-although that's only her in school intelect. She lacks street and common sense, but she's clever enough on her feet that it makes up for it.
Riley's very friendly-she can ceratainly be sarcastic and snarky, but usually people know she's joking. She's very empathetic, almost as loyal as a dog-possibly even more. She usually has a big smile on her face, showing her warmth and kindness in happy eyes. Riley generally looks on the brighter side of things-except where her family and friends' safety is involved. While very good at acting for the injured/sick/dying, she always imagines worst case scenario.

Overall history: Riley was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, with the rain and the clouds. She moved to England when she turned 10 years old-the Skanders had chosen not to relocate until Riley or Emma showed magic, since Richard would've much preferred to have them educated at Hogwarts. So away they went, dragging a very rumpled Grammy.
Riley was sorted into Ravenclaw-as was to be expected. She was sharp from a young age, teaching herself to read and attending a Muggle primary school. She attacked Hogwarts with a fire, running her first few years with her brother-a true Gyffindor. She was beyond excited to be there, and was never terrified of the older kids, often lipping jokingly to them, and often drawing some laughs, calling her 'adorable'.
Riley mantained her accent-or none, to those native to the United States. She went into fourth year the same as she entered first, only this time her sister-just recently recovered from a bout of cancer-came with her. Emma was sorted into Hufflepuff. Now Riley is ready, as she has always been, to throw the lemons right back at life.
