Riley
Riley is a Major NPC in Beastieball. She is the player's childhood best friend, spending much time with them in the Rutile Nature Preserve. Riley supports the player on their journey with the goal of saving the preserve and the Beasties in it.
Appearance
Riley has curly pink hair and pale freckled skin. She wears large square glasses, a black headband and sleeveless shirt, and light blue shorts. She does not wear shoes.
Personality
Riley is passionate and energetic, especially about her interests, such as Beastieball. She has some level of naïveté, being willing to play along with the Sports King’s plans for hope of saving the Preserve.
She is a big fan of competitive Beastieball, stating that her family watches the Crown Series every year. As a kid, she shows the player footage of Marlin’s championship victory, and now is a passionate fan of Valerie Stride.
Story
The player stumbles into Riley in the Rutile Nature Preserve as a child, where she teaches them how to play Beastieball using the two remaining Beasties of Axolati, Kichik, and Bildit that the player did not choose. After their game ends, the Beasties wander back off into the preserve, and Riley asks the player if they want to watch videos with her. She shows the player footage of Marlin's victory in the championship match.
Many years later, Riley and the player are relaxing in the preserve when a loud crash startles them. They find that the League has begun construction of a stadium in the Preserve, despite it being an important habitat for many endangered Beasties. She and the player agree that something must be done about this, and she tells the player to talk to Marlin. When Marlin says that Rutile has poor standing and little influence in the League, Riley appears with the other citizens of Rutile to chastise Marlin for giving up on Beastieball. Riley suggests that the player become the new Coach of Rutile instead.
Once the player becomes the official Ranked Coach of Rutile, Riley supports their efforts to defeat other Ranked Teams and becomes their Assistant Manager. She visits the player in their locker room after every Ranked Match victory and is persistent in trying to get the League's attention to stop construction in the preserve.
After their third Ranked victory, the player and Riley are visited by the Sports King. When Riley insists that he stop the project, the Sports King is immediately interested in the great story that the player's mission would make for this season of Beastieball. He promises to cancel the stadium if the player makes top 100 rank, competes in the Crown Series, and defeats the reigning champion, Valerie Stride. After this encounter, while Marlin doesn't trust the King, Riley says that they should simply play along with him for now, as they've managed to get the League's attention and the King's offer is the best opportunity they have to secure the preserve.
Before their fourth Ranked match, Riley informs the player that there is an additional requirement other than top 100 rank to enter the crown series: a Platinum-level sponsorship. Riley says she had gotten them an interview with Daredillo Energy, an energy drink brand, giving them the option to take it now or later.
At the interview, the player and Riley are surprised to see it features Valerie Stride, with the interviewer asking Valerie how she feels about the up-and-comer going for her title. Stride is dismissive of the player. After the interview, Riley remarks that she had slightly stepped on them, but says that she was in her right to, finishing, "We stan the Sports Queen."
Before their next Ranked match, Riley will set the player up with another interview, this time with Swish Fashion. Riley is not present for this interview, however. Afterwards, Riley says she had gotten a weird call, and that apparently the sponsorship was a bust. She laments that the player’s team doesn’t have a name to themselves yet like the big teams do, but says that they’ll figure it out nonetheless.
After their fifth Ranked victory, the player and Riley are visited again by Valerie Stride. Stride says that she knows of the King’s plans for them. Riley asks what he’s after, and Stride responds that he wants to take her champion title away from her. She then tells the player and Riley to give up and go home now, as their plan will never work.
Afterwards, Riley calls the player, saying that as a Valerie fan, it hurt a bit to see her like that. Marlin remarks that she’s within her right to be upset, given the King messing everything up, but Riley says that once Beastie is on court, the only deciding factor is the coaches’ skill. Riley encourages the player to keep taking down other ranked coaches, and let their strength prove itself for them.
Hangouts
First Hangout
By spending 1 
Social Battery, the player can invite Riley to hang out. Upon answering, Riley will invite them to meet her in Rutile.
When the player interacts with Riley, she takes them to her house to play Legend of Office, a favorite childhood game of hers, and plays through the first chapter with them. After this, the player will unlock her first set of favors.
Second Hangout
For her second hangout, Riley takes the player to watch a Ranked Beastieball match between the Radical Queens, ranked #1, and the Crimson Racers, ranked #3. She explains how Beastieball has been her love all her life, but now, because of the player, she has a new understanding of the stresses and pressure one would experience on the court. She says she hopes she can continue loving Beastieball, even now that it's different, and says it's all she really has.
Favors
Through the Contacts menu, you can ask Riley favors to teach to any Beastie of your team one Play in exchange for 1 Social Battery, as long as the Beastie can learn the Play either via level or friendship.
