Rikmai Kruger

**Rikmai Kruger** (Vaporeon) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. She is a knight of the Senbo Kingdom and a member of Erasmus Talbot's personal guard.

## Personality

Rikmai is a romantic at heart, seeking the attention of men who catch her fancy in hopes to one day find a worthy husband for herself. She boldly proposes anyone she is initially attracted to, though often has to be reined in by her comrades. She became a knight hoping it would garner her more attention from potential suitors, though steadily gained a sense of honor after being assigned into Erasmus' guard.

Being raised in an upper-class setting, Rikmai has a bit of her affluent entitlement. She acts much more casually in public despite being a member of the knights. She is constantly told to rein this behavior in, and she works hard to gain the respect of her superiors.

It's implied Rikmai developed her romantic mindset due to the traditions of House Kruger.

## Abilities/Skills

**Overall Abilities-** As a member of the Senbo Knights, Rikmai underwent intense training to reach her rank and was taught under Sir Gaufroi as his squire. Rikmai specializes in trapping and overwhelming her opponents with her tricky movements until they're suppressed.

### Equipment

* **Senbo Armor-** Unlike most of the armors, hers was designed to complement her fighting style.

### Moveset

**Ability-** Water Absorb

* Acid Armor
* Iron Tail
* Aqua Tail
* Scald
* Ice Beam
* Aqua Ring

### Enhanced Moves

* **Gelid Prison-** A combination of Aqua Tail and Ice Beam. She slams her Aqua Tail into her target and pins them against a surface before flash-freezing her tail, trapping the target in a web of solid ice.
* **Iron Smashing Current-** A combination of Aqua Tail and Iron Tail. She whips up her Aqua Tail and channels Iron Tail through the currents, granting it a silvery glow. This increases the striking power of the water's currents.
* **Iron Smashing Blizzard-** A combination of Aqua Tail and Ice Beam. She whips up her Aqua Tail and channels Ice Beam through the currents, transforming the attack into a cyclone of jagged ice.
* **Scald Raging Current-** A combination of Aqua Tail and Scald. She whips up her Aqua Tail and channels Scald through it, turning her attack into boiling water.
* **Gelid Defense Formation-** A combination of Ice Beam and Aqua Ring. She summons rings of water around herself coated in an icy mist. It softens the impact of an attack and flash freezes the attack.
* **State of Matter-** A personalized technique that relies on Acid Armor, the ability Water Absorb, and Rikmai's natural biology. She can freely manipulate her body to transform into the three primary states of matter.
	+ **Steam-** She transforms into a gaseous state composed of steam. Her body generates lots of heat and can burn anyone she passes through. If in an enclosed area, the heat will gradually build up inside to wear down the target. This form is the most unstable and easiest to disrupt, though she is nigh impossible to damage under normal circumstances.
	+ **Water-** She transforms into a liquid state composed of water. This form gives her the easiest control over water, to which she can freely manipulate as an extension of herself. She is much faster and more flexible in this state.
	+ **Ice-** She transforms into a solid state composed of ice. Despite its rigid appearance, Rikmai can still move freely in this state. Her body is cold to the touch, and she can phase through attacks by morphing her body around them and encasing them in ice.
