**Riyonn Yumaine** was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen Roleplay: Season 3 and Hell's Kitchen Roleplay: Season 5 (Rookies vs Veterans). In Season 23, he finished in 11th place and 14th place in Season 25.

## Personality

Establishing himself as the “Flava Elevata”, Riyonn was well known for his sleeping habit, as well as his immense passion during both seasons he was on.

Riyonn came into the competition with a lot of confidence, to the point where it could initially come off as being somewhat cocky. However, he quickly proved that he can walk the walk, dominating in challenges and showing leadership qualities during service, proving to be one of the strongest links from the Red Team. He was also known to be very funny and got along well with most of his competitors. He was well known to have a history with duck during his stay, serving a poor Signature Dish and winning the Craps Challenge with his team’s dish, both containing said protein and eventually, it became his downfall during his final service. This led to him humbly owning up to his mistakes and stepping down without a team nomination during his elimination. He had an explosive rivalry with Hugh and got along well with Christina, Abby, Pory and even Sous Chef Skullcrusher. He also had a close friendship with Brynn, despite having differences early on, and an even closer friendship with Talia.

Coming back to the competition, Riyonn was still confident, but less cocky in comparison to the beginning of his first run. In the kitchen, he showed that he was a force to be reckoned with in challenges and a team leader during services. However, his two horrendous services on meat led him to being a victim of the chopping block, with his final service on meat being his demise. He continued developing his friendship with power couple, Brynn and Pory, despite having a minor quarrel with the latter after the fourth service and became friends with Michelle, Kiibo and Undead.
