Riiya

Riiya belongs to a large family, all boys, who all have the ability to transform into wolves. Riiya has no other abilities in magic except for his transformation and his super-strength. Riiya has a HUGE grandfather called Anton, listen this guy is MASSIVE, and he has super-strength as well. Not only is Riiya one of the Paladins of Love, Courage and Hope, he holds the bracelet and the power of Courage necessary for the Magical Princess transformation. Riiya, uh, isn't exactly that bright though. He also has a HUGE appetite, and he NEVER stops thinking about food. Ever.

Riiya's best friends are Cha Cha and Shiine, and he's the most likely winner in the battle for Cha Cha's affections, probably because she thinks he's absolutely adorable in his wolf-form. Shiine is probably jealous of him, and likes to make fun of his wolf transformation and call him a dog, but the two are friends, even though in the beginning of the series, all they did was fight. Eventually they realised they'd have to work together to save Cha Cha. Riiya has no respect for Seravi, and says he doesn't take care of Cha Cha. Seravi usually punishes him by tying him to a tree. But Riiya loves Seravi's cooking, so he's usually back. He also has little respect for Dorothy. He can't STAND Marin, which isn't surprising since she beats him up in his wolf-form.

Although Riiya may be slightly dense, and he may never stop thinking about food, but all I can say is that he certainly doesn't lack courage!

The first picture is a serious one of Riiya, but trust me, he usually isn't like that!

These two pictures show Riiya in his wolf-form. Isn't he a cutie? The first picture with the cute eyes is Riiya singing on the way to buy Cha Cha a birthday present, and the other is Wolf-Riiya at the beach!

Proof of Riiya's monstrous appetite. He LOVES ramen.

Marin hasn't figured out that Riiya can morph into a wolf. Obviously what had happened in this picture is that she's grabbed Riiya and he's transformed, and she's going to beat him up or throw him away.

This picture is from the episode featuring the twins Ran Ran and Kan Kan (cruel mother, huh? *g*) who turn them into animals. Shiine's glaring at Riiya 'cause he's talking about food, again.
