Riven is highly in-tune with the Forest and changes her appearance as the Forest does throughout the season. Her general appearance is very lithe, nearly elven, her form bearing a lion's tail. A small ruff runs from between her shoulders to her rump with a second, longer one running between her front legs, nearly to her knees, that tapers to a stop mid-torso. Her hair is a tidy coal color with a purple sheen and is shaped oddly - long in the front and short in the back, following the flow of the jaw-line with the two foremost locks curling gently upward at the tips. Her face belies an alien wisdom with gentle features and a calm, piercing stare.

Riven is an Old Soul; warm, worn, sagely and a very quiet person by nature, being contemplative and observant. Her observant nature has taught her a bounty of secrets scattered about the wood and reinforced her innate admiration of nature - giving her an Eldritch feeling about her. She spends a lot of her time simply walking the wood and enjoying life, engaging in mild conversation to passerbys. She is fond of sport and loves to watch or participate in competitive events like races, chases or spars.
