Character from The Last of Us by Naughty Dog
Ellie's first love — the Firefly girl who took her to a mall, danced with her, and was bitten on the same night Ellie was, except Riley wasn't immune.
Riley was Ellie's best friend and first romantic partner at the FEDRA military boarding school. She left to join the Fireflies, then returned to say goodbye. They snuck into an abandoned mall, played arcade games, wore Halloween masks, danced on the carousel, and were bitten by the same infected. Riley turned. Ellie didn't. Their night in the mall — told in the Left Behind DLC and referenced throughout both games — is the series' most beautiful and most tragic sequence. It's the night Ellie discovered she was immune, the night she lost her first love, and the origin of the survivor's guilt that defines her. 'We can be all poetic and shit and lose our minds together.'
A teenage girl with short dark hair, brown skin, and a confident, slightly rebellious bearing. She wears a Firefly pendant and carries herself with the defiant energy of someone who has chosen a cause.
