Riina, also known as the Sorceress, is a member of the Ire.

She was among the five members of the Ire that set out on an expedition to try and capture Preservation's Shard. She rode on horseback and carried a decoy version of the Ire's orb. She abandoned the expedition with the rest of the group when Kelsier used Alonoe's robes to make it appear that she had disintegrated.

Riina at some point in time came into posession of space-faring technology and traveled to Lumar, taking up the identity of the Sorceress. Under this identity she gained control of the Midnight Sea, utilizing a combination of Midnight Essence manipulation, complex Awakening, AonDor, lightweaving and advanced technology such as cameras and tablet computers to exert a significant presence on the planet. Her goal on the planet is unknown, however she was eventually forced to leave by Hoid and Tress.

Appearance and Personality

Riina appears to be in her fifties who is short and plump. Like most Elantrians, she dislikes makeup as she thinks it takes away from the effect of her glowing skin. The forces under her control were known to routinely raid the Emerald Sea, for a time the king of the Emerald Sea had desired to try and normalise relations and have her act less hostile to his kingdom. In order to achieve this he sent out Charlie to her with a marriage proposal, however he readily acknowledged that her accepting such a proposal was next to impossible. Wars had been fought between her forces and the kingdom as well. The arrival of Charlie appeared to have annoyed her as raids increased following his arrival.

Attributes and Abilities

Riina is an elantrian and awakener. In the role of being the Sorceress she had an army of some sort, most probably her metal soldiers and midnight essense. Her army had gone to war against the Emerald Sea multiple times in the past with the Emerald Sea losing the conflict each time. Even during peace time her forces were known to go on raids against the kingdom. This army also apparently contains ships, of which only hers can sail with any others being destroyed by her forces.

Riina is also capable of using Aondor in order to grant curses to others. How exactly these curses are formed is unknown however the person given the curse is aware as to what the stipulations of the curse are. 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.^{[citation needed]}
