Raika is a sneaky heifer, usually slinking around the herd and eavesdropping on conversations. Her sneaky behavior is frowned upon by those who catch her, but for the most part, she stays well hidden. I mean, the Gossip Queen has to keep her stock fresh somehow!
Yes, Raika is the go-to girl for anything gossip. The info she gets ranges from towns like Aurelia to right at home at Firefly Valley Farms. She is definitely a tea-spiller, but most of the tea is quite innocent; her "clients" asking if anyone has a crush on them or wants spoilers for upcoming events. Raika is usually the forst to know about ground breaking news, worldwide and valley-wide, and prides herself on getting her information straight form the source. Of course, her "tea" comes with a price, whether it be trading for new info or payments in her favorite sweets. Raika, though she gets some pretty hot tea, doesn't care for spilling it. Tea stains, and she knows it- so she keeps most of the mean gossip to herself, using it to throw shade at the bullies when she finds the right opening. Raika knows when to use her receipts, and because of that, people know not to mess with her. Raika loves information, sour candies, baked goods that are a bit too buttery, and pressing flowers into her old books for preservation. She doesn't like most fruits, only apples really, and despises anything spicy. She is a romantic, not too hopeless, but she is just the right amount of shy for her to not pursue her love interests. |
