Personality
"I didn't just become a Legionnaire because I wanted to help people. I also became one because I had to prove to myself that I was worthy of it. I've struggled with feeling inadequate before, and this is an opportunity for me to show I am more than enough!"

- Riri


 * Peppy and cheerful; but in a rather typical way.
 * In tune with her emotions; but doesn't let them completely control her.
 * Rather competitive, seen through her enjoyment of making a challenge out of rather mundane things. Although mostly with her brother Kyauta.
 * Headstrong and determined, as she refuses to give up and perseveres when the odds are against her. Even if the odds are her own bad habits of being disorganized and having a poor sleep schedule.
 * Enjoys writing songs and listening to music in general.

Background

 * Alheri Orisa was born February 29th, Year 999 alongside her twin brother Kyauta Orisa in the country of Mystic.
 * Alheri lived a pretty normal middle-class life with her immediate family and friends.
 * Alheri's family is madeup of musicians, martial artists, and Mages so she was trained in all fields.
 * Later on, Alheri was enrolled in the Legion's continental academy with the plan of becoming a proud mage.

Abilities
As a member of the Orisa family, Alheri specializes in music-based magic that can be used to perform various feats.

Orisa Oddities
Due to being an Mage, Alheri has the ability to utilize magical energy also known as mana. She possesses an abnormally enormous amount of mana that hinders her growth rate. Luckily, her staunch determination and passion allows her to partially overcome this setback. As a member of the family, Riri's basic physical stat boost manifests itself in the form of a magical power known as an Amp which boosts her to High Enhanced-level. An Amp is an Orisa's personal theme song that plays whenever they activate their mana. The song is created by their Awakened metaphysical heart, and acts as a representation of their existence. As a result, since everyone is unique in their own way, each song is unique as well. The song cannot be changed willingly either, but it will change on its own if they change enough as a person over time.

When Amp is activated, the Orisa's eyes glow, and their mana takes the form of many floating musical notes that correspond to their eye color (magenta in Riri's case). Their theme song will play in accordance to how much mana they're using at the time. However, with enough mastery an Orisa can learn to turn their theme song on or off at will: something Riri cannot do yet.

Banger
Banger is Alheri's unique magical ability within her family, it enables her to project and amplify the sound waves from her mouth in various ways. The ability manifested for the first time when she was doing Awakening training with her father as a kid. Initially, Riri could only use the power to make her voice much louder than usual. But over time, she eventually learned how to use it to create visible magenta blasts of sound that obliterated anything they touched. Once it became this strong, Riri and her father Bitrus decided to name it "Banger" given its destructive capacity. The form that the sound blasts take can be changed to Riri's liking, but due to her rudimentary mana control, she isn't capable of using it in an advanced manner. Nonetheless, she can currently use it in a wave, beam, and ball form: although each subsequent form requires much more skill to use.

Wavedancer - Wavedancer is the most commonly used form of Alheri's sound blasts, and the first form she developed. Wavedancer fires the blast in the form of a pulverizing wave with a large area-of-effect. The external damage that the attack does is substantial, but what's more troubling is the internal damage. Since the attack is ultimately a mass of highly concentrated soundwaves, it can cause serious if not outright lethal damage to internal organs due to the incredible air oscillations within the body.

Snowpiercer - Snowpiercer is the second form that Alheri's blast take, and it possesses the greatest range. Due to the high level of focus and concentration required, this beam takes longer to use than the former. The beam is an incredibly ultra-condensed and concentrated mass of soundwaves that packs phenomenal penetrative power. It can completely blow a hole through its target across a good distance, although the farther away it is used the weaker it becomes as its harder for Riri to maintain.

Bombshell - Bombshell is the third form Alheri's sound blast takes, and it packs the greatest destructive power. Bombshell is much stronger than Wavedancer or Snowpiercer, and it takes the most time for her to charge compared to the other two. Once unleashed, it is strong enough to hollow out the ground and leave behind a small crater. It is an attack strong enough with enough risks involved that Riri only uses it in emergency situations, besides, it leaves her exhausted.

Dambe
Dambe is a martial art that focuses on boxing. It revolves around forcing the opponent to submit, bringing them down, and leaving them incapacitated due to bodily harm. It utilizes the arms and fists more-so than the legs, but the legs are still used, but more-so for sweeping or unbalancing the opponent as opposed to landing the final blow. As a member of the Orisa family, Alheri was trained in this art since a young age and is quite skilled and is very skilled in its usage.

Guitarist
As an Orisa, Alheri was trained as a musician since the age of 4 like that of her twin brother Kyauta. She specializes in playing the guitar and the many various forms of it that exist. She uses her skills with it to help her write songs, which she likes to do in her spare time.

Trivia

 * Alheri's first name means "grace" in the Hausa language, which is both a language and an ethnic group of people from Nigeria. Her surname Orisa is also the name of one of Wikian's favorite tank heroes from the video game Overwatch. What's interesting about this, is that Orisa is an Artificial Intelligence robot who is from Numbani: a fictional West African country located next to Nigeria.
 * Alheri's appearance is based on that of a League of Legends' character named Senna whilst she is in the group True Damage: a virtual music group madeup of characters from the game. Among its members is a character named Ekko, who Kyauta's appearance is based on.
 * Alheri's abilities are heavily inspired by a mixture of the spirit cannon weapon from the Legend of Korra, and the famous Tailed Beast Bomb from Naruto.
 * Alheri's amp theme song is called "Champions" by Bruce Faulconer, Wikian decided to go with this because it fits Riri's competitive and determined personality. He also chose this because the way Riri uses her amp is similar to powering up in the Dragon Ball franchise, and Bruce Faulconer composed the soundtrack for Dragon Ball Z.
