Outfit for 10/28/07

As far as personal relationships, she's friendly to people, but she doesn't mind being rude if she has to be. She is willing to help people out with things, but she will not put herself out just to be helpful and has been known to refuse to help someone just because she's not in the mood. While she's nice, she doesn't usually trust people until they have somehow proven that they can be trusted. She'd rather not be burned at all if she can help it.

When Riley was a little girl, her mother wanted her to be very girly (due to the fact that she was the only girl). Therefore, when Riley was old enough to take care of her things without her mom's guidance, she chose to rebel. She went through a real tomboy phase until she gradually found what she believes to be a happy medium between the two extremes.

Throughout school, Riley had trouble, especially in subjects where her dyslexia got in the way. Due to her poor grades, she became frustrated which led to her being a disruption in the classroom. Since Nicolette had the twins separated in school, teachers usually hoped that they wouldn't get Riley. With help from tutors, Riley managed to pass through school. She took college a bit more seriously, though her grades were still mediocre. But as long as they were enough to get by, she didn't care that they were low.

Looking back

[]

When they entered college, Riley and Travis lived on campus - in separate dorms, of course. However, once they graduated they decided to move into an apartment together. Riley wanted to move far away from their hometown, but Travis wanted to stay nearby. They were going to split up eventually, but Riley decided that she'd stay in their hometown, at least for the time being. She was planning on moving out of Pleasant Port in May 2007, one year after graduation, but she is now waiting until she gets another job.

Family member	Name	Age	Relation	Riley's feelings
	Ripley Wyatt	44	Father	Riley couldn't care less about her father. If she never ran into him again, it would be too soon.
	Nicolette Collins	49	Mother	To Riley, Nicolette is the epitome of the strong, indepedent woman. She admires how her mother has accomplished so much on her own.
	Nick Collins	25	Brother	Riley thinks that Nick is a self-centered jerk. She doesn't care if he doesn't like her, because she doesn't like him either.
	Travis Collins	23	Brother	Riley adores Travis and wishes he would stand up for himself against everyone. Well, except her.
	Kaitlin Collins	23	Cousin	Riley was surprised when her cousin came back into town after being gone for around ten years. They became close again and are as good as friends as they used to be. They now live together.

Cassandra Davis - She knows the girl through her brother. She likes the girl's attitude and thinks she seems like a lot of fun from what she's seen of her.

Michel Decker - Originally Riley knew him as her history teacher in high school. After she graduated her mom dated him for a short period of time. As far as she knows they are only friends at this point, though she suspects there is something else still going on. While Michel was dating her mom, she thought it was fine, but wished they could have dated while she was in school so she could get better grades without working hard.

Oliver Gordon - Riley knows him from when she used to go to church with her mother. The guy seems pretty nice, so she really has no problem with him.

Ashley Hodge - Riley met her at a party one night and they had a great time together. Though they hang out at parties that they both happened to be attending, they haven't hung out outside of that though.

Dana Jenkins - She knows her from the fact that Dana works with her brother at the Photo Studio.

Micah Lewis - She knows him from the fact that he works with her brother at the Photo Studio and because Travis and him are friends. She thinks Micah's cute but too uptight.

Charlotte Miller - Riley thinks that Charlotte is weird, but she is pretty sweet. So, while she might make fun of Charlotte and laugh at things she does, she doesn't usually make the comments in front of the woman.

Fletcher Montgomery - She knows him as one of her brother's friends. She thinks he's attractive, but seems too cocky sometimes. She likes teasing him when possible.

Gabriel Parker - She thinks he's a complete jerk. When the guy bossed her brother around at the Pumpkin Fest, she destroyed the sign that had just been put up for him.

Ariel Reed - Initially, Riley was bothered by how annoying the girl seemed. However, she thought she was bearable. However, the closer that Ariel got to Travis, the more she bothered Riley. She hopes her brother will break up with the girl.

Henry Rodriguez - He lives in her apartment building. She thinks he's a tough guy, but that he's pretty nice. Due to the fact that he makes her brother nervous, she was the one who helped Travis to realize that there was nothing to fear from Henry...as long as you weren't a criminal.

Jacqueline Sanders - Riley knows her from the Ocean View. Even if Jackie is really sweet, she doesn't annoy Riley but being too disgustingly sweet.

Alexander Stone - One of her teachers from when she was in school. She thought he was an attractive guy, and had a bit of a crush on him in high school. But she's forgotten about that as she hasn't seen him much since she graduated.

Jonathan Zimmerman - She knows him a little from seeing him when she went with her mother to church when she was younger.

Farrah Covington - She met her at a party and thought she was hilarious and so much fun to hang with. They hang out together and enjoy making out sometimes.

Donovan Tate - She knows him as a pretty frequent customer of the pizzeria where she works.

Nicolette Collins: "Riley's my little girl, and I'm proud of a lot of the decisions she's made. But there are times when I wish she'd make better choices. Hopefully she'll soon begin to stand on her own two feet."

Travis Collins: "She's one of my closest friends and probably my strongest bond, and she'd totally make fun of me if she knew I said that."

Fletcher Montgomery: "The girl is hot, but sometimes she's a total bitch. I know she wants me."
