Ria will let him play with, although not pull, her hair or kiss her hands. She goes wobbly at the knees if he kisses the nape of her neck. They share baths often.

No real catchphrase, but I associate Ria strongly with the "should have worn better boots..." click response and fell in love with voice 4 over "Wast thy father a flounder?"
As for Ria personally?
Ria's hair isn't religiously important to her, but she is vain about it— it's soft and honestly gorgeous and, furthermore, being a black-haired drow might get her two seconds of confusion to get a few words out and explain herself

(she went with 'am I talking to the mouse or the cat?' btw)
Yes! Although 1. she froze which made it easier to hide and 2. she got her feet... mostly under her? pretty fast. She managed not to shriek, anyway

aahahahaahhahahahaaaaaa
No.
Ria doesn't have walls so much as she has a maze inside a fortress with another fortress at its center, and like hell is she showing someone how to navigate it. This is not without exceptions, and she loves the party—

Reasonably. If I recall correctly, Ria only has half proficiency, but she has a decent dexterity score and a lot of practice holding to shadows. She prefers to rely on a confident walk in a costume when she needs to move unchallenged, though. Or magic.

Ria is a bard— she loves stories and jokes and people. She can also pluck their insecurities like her lyre strings to sometimes lethal effect.

Hari bonds with Tara by getting her fresh fish at the end of her morning runs and by virtue of having stopped Gale going boom. This goes a long way toward getting Tara past Hari liking The Beard

Ria is a private person with feelings that run *deep.* This is not to say that she cannot be demonstrative, especially with a partner (Astarion 💜) who brings out her sense of fun. But her love comes in the full weight of her focus and the sharing of her quiet.

It's hard to exhaust an elf, but Ria will keep herself up trying to make contingencies for her contingency plans... or noodling on a song for too long, although that's more likely to attract attention that will help her put it down by bedtime

I had Karlach describe Ria as a "twisty, silver-tongued fucker" for a reason. She is not soft. Sometimes she's not *nice.* She's deeply guarded and pragmatic, but with a desire to do good and a strong moral compass in there.
Oh dang! well, it's the end of the week, so we'll call this part day 2 and part day 7 (far from Ria's first battle, but definitely the most frightened she's been)
In Which Ketheric Thorm Scares the Bejeezus Out of Ria

Ria loves a good skirt/dress. She was very happy when she got her hands on the potent robe and performed a few twirls for effect.

Ria keeps her walls up around everyone as much as she can, but if it has to come down, she'd prefer her only audience to be Shadowheart and Astarion, since they already know her best.

Ria will reach for Astarion, or an herbal tea, or her music box, or all of the above if she has a nightmare or if a memory frightens her out of her trance
