==Biography==
Rikki had a really difficult childhood, due to his parents often arguing about money. At some point when Rikki was a little older, their parents divorced her and her mother abandoned her causing her to stay with her father who, as Rikki tells Zane, forgets her birthday every year.
Raised in a difficult environment, Rikki does not have the personality of a snob and she does not like being with anyone, such as Miriam Kent and Zane Bennett, although she later develops a relationship with Zane.
Since she was a child, no one has ever liked Rikki and so she has gotten used to it and when someone tries to show affection to her she feels embarrassed and "fenced in", as shown with Elliot, Emma's younger brother. During the series, however, she learns to accept other people and is more with friends, as shown when she saves Cleo from being set adrift by Zane's boat, although she sometimes likes to continue to be alone. Her father works on motorcycles.
Rikki is also very good at business affairs, especially when it comes to saving her bar business from bankruptcy.
===Becoming a Mermaid===
Zane Bennett plays a trick on Cleo about fixing her boat and leaves it adrift at sea. Rikki jumps aboard the boat to save her, revealing that she was the one who stole Zane's candle on his boat, and the two decide to take the boat for a ride and accidentally meet Emma swimming home and her. they invite you to come with them. After Rikki drives the boat for a while, they end up stranded in the ocean without fuel. So, the girls, seeing Mako Island, go there.
Once Emma arrives, she tries to call for help with her cell phone, but it turns out to be unusable because there is no reception. So the girls leave for the highest mountain to see if there is camp, passing near a stream which then becomes a waterfall. Emma and they jump towards the small waterfall, Cleo however hesitates and falls into a hole. The others follow her and start looking for a way out of the underground cave.
Hours later, the three find the moon cave with a pool at the bottom of the island's hollow mountain. Emma thinks it's their only way out so she goes inside to investigate and when she confirms her, Rikki takes Cleo and they all head out at night with a ship that spots them and rescues them.
The next day, around twelve o'clock, Rikki goes for a walk and discovers that she can transform into a mermaid when she touches the water from the park's irrigation system. After confirming her theory with Emma and Cleo, Rikki got excited and embraced the new changes. Rikki was the last to discover her powers, which annoys her greatly.
There’s a time when Rikki needs money for the concert and Emma helps her with her new job.
Again, Rikki makes disaster with cafè.
==Personality==
Although Rikki is very good friends with Emma, she is her exact opposite: Rikki is a rather rebellious, arrogant, independent, sarcastic and carefree girl. She is also a little dismissive, what she got from her father of her, towards anyone.
Rikki doesn't get along with Emma at all many times, as they are very different from each other, the exact opposite of each other, such as in "The Heat Is On", where Emma and Rikki fight over their boyfriends at the juice bar and I'm late for the anniversary that Cleo made for their first anniversary of becoming mermaids. Rikki is also a talker and does not hesitate to say whatever she thinks without thinking that it might hurt others, and she has difficulty sympathizing with people who are depressed, and she is also somewhat stubborn and short-tempered. Rikki also has a great passion for adventure and is the first of the girls to accept being a mermaid and she embraces her new powers. 
However, Rikki cares for his friends, as shown in "Dangerous Waters", taking Emma and Cleo on a shopping trip with the money he got (even though he didn't know it was a scam) and gives Cleo another fish for make amends and Cleo decides to name the fish "Hotstuff", after Rikki to thank her. Additionally, even though she doesn't often get along with Emma she does care for her, shown in "Sink or Swim" when she convinces Byron that Emma isn't as tough as she seems and so the two make up.
Aside from having a literally rebellious nature, Rikki also tries to involve her friends in this, even in situations where it is mandatory to do so; how to convince them to rebel against Charlotte Watsford and her mother, Annette Watsford, who were invited by Don Sertori to stay for dinner. Despite her carefree nature, Rikki is capable of showing a sense of responsibility especially when it comes to money.
During the third season she proves to have become more responsible and knows how to finance her new job.
==Appearance==
Rikki is a slender teenage girl, then also mermaid with wavy platinum hair that goes past her shoulders, blue eyes and large, dark eyelashes. She usually wears mascara, she is light-skinned and her lips are rosy pink and plump. Additionally, throughout the series, Rikki shortens her hair in several ways.
As a mermaid, Rikki has loose hair with a shiny orange tail.
