Abilities/Powers: Rikku is bilingual in a common tongue spoke in Spira as well as Al Bhed, a cypher-based language native to her people. It's clear from her abilities in the first game (where she customizes weapons and defense items, and takes apart machines in the heat of battle) that she is a competent machinist/engineer/artificer, and will likely be able to help design and upgrade weapons (provided she has the right materials, of course). Additionally, she has a history in both games of being able to "mix" items to create upgraded/home-made potions, explosives, and other helpful items; again, with the right materials, she should be able to do something similar. She is also an accomplished thief and treasure hunter capable of taking apart locks and stealing items off monsters and humans alike during battles.
Although Rikku is well-versed in combat and is capable of utilizing magic using her dresspheres, I am assuming she will not have access to the latter in Haven (at least, at this time). This is because "dresspheres" are items (magic spheres) that attach to another item known as a "garment grid" in order to be used. They change her default clothes, abilities, and default weapon to suit her job. Although she will not be arriving with her knives, Rikku is quite capable at using those weapons as well as a variety of others (guns, machines, staffs, swords) and can also fight hand-to-hand.
Sample Entry Two: Haven: the name implied safety, a place to rest. Like Home. But for who? It seemed to Rikku, surveying the ugly, boarded up buildings (like patched eyes refusing to look at them) that there was something really, really wrong here. No explanations, no real residents—just the other people who had shown up here, just like her, kidnapped. And where were her knives, her dresspheres, all the little odds and ends and healing goodies she'd had before she wound up here? Gone, probably to that same place where the missing sock in the laundry always ended up. Or worse.
"But it's not so bad," she told herself. She'd taken to talking to herself out loud a little since arriving, at least when she was alone. It helped to make up for the awful, eerie silence of the place, made her feel just a teensy bit better. "At least there's everyone here, with you, and you're not alone…" But why? Why them? And why so many?
She had a feeling the answer wasn't going to be so pretty. Hopefully they'd be prepared by the time it came.
Note: If these samples are not satisfactory because of the limited range of emotions provided, I can link to other thread(s) with a wider range for your approval.

(These are two parts to the same thread, but because of the sequential way I posted one then the other, I needed to post both of them here to make sense. Whups!)
