In the [[Cognitive Realm]] of [[Scadrial]], Riina was a withered husk.{{msh ref|5|2}}

 

On [[Lumar]], Riina appears to be a woman in her fifties (when she gained the ability to stop aging) who is short and plump. Like most Elantrians, she dislikes makeup as she thinks it takes away from the effect of her glowing skin.{{book ref|tress|60}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==

Riina is an Elantrian and Awakener. Riina is also capable of using [[AonDor]] in order to grant '''curses''' to others.{{book ref|tress|5}}{{book ref|tress|13}} They are formed through long strands of Aons, which can be seen wrapping around the cursed, lining up with Aon Equations;{{book ref|tress|64}}{{wob ref|1938}}{{wob ref|15860}} the person given the curse is aware as to what the stipulations of the curse are.{{book ref|tress|24}} When placed upon someone a requirement is made to break the curse, other than meeting this requirement there is no way to break the curse, not even Riina herself can achieve this. The curse itself however can be altered by other Elantrians.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}} An aspect of the curse is always consistent which is that the cursed individual cannot discuss the curse with others; any attempt to do so leads to them stuttering.{{book ref|tress|24}} The curses are flawed, however, in that since they cannot be changed, they can be manipulated if one finds a way to do so that Riina failed to prevent.{{book ref|tress|29}} One way to do so is by identifying what an individual cannot talk about. This indirectly reveals aspects of their curse.{{book ref|tress|42}}
