Well, I thought I'd at least continue what I didn't finish in the OC Matches thread and review Ririi.

For now, I'll start with the pros.

As a general character, she seems to slightly work on planet RWBY. I doubt she'll get along with Ruby though. Her concept and backstory is good too.

As a person, I like the types of characters who's all-nonsense and dutiful. They tend to be the most badass in a battle.

As a combatant, heat-enhanced claws are something I haven't seen before. Or at least, rarely seen. It's actually pretty great.

Now for the cons.

As a general character, I'm not sure if it's canonically possible to communicate with Beowolves... so it's possible that Monty may crush that possibility in a later episode. We share the same problem with our OCs actually, being associated with the Grim and all. Speaking of which, her backstory's pretty short, making me want for more. Maybe details on how she met her teammates and befriended the Beowolves would do good.

As a person, what makes her good may also make her bad. While all-work no-play characters are badasses, they tend to be too devoted in their stuff that this characterization begins eating away on their other aspects. The proper term is Flanderization, exagerrating a particular trait of one character until it becomes their most notable trait.

As a combatant, she doesn't have much issues. A little bit of expansion could help though, like how she learned to talk Beowolvenese and their hunting style. Her weapon may need some origin as well.

Overall, she's a bit okay. She just needs a lot more details right now. For now, she's an average character, who can go either way depending on what you add later.

I'd give her a 3/5.
