Dr. Rhys Kristansen is a character seen in the end of Friday Night Funkin': Vs Kofi, and is a main character in Friday Night Funkin': Memento Mori. She is the President of the Paranormal Research Department and is one of Kofi's adoptive mothers. Her image color is indigo, and she's the second opponent in Friday Night Funkin': Memento Mori.

## Appearance

Rhys is a short, pale skinned woman with bags under her eyes, black hair with grey strands tied into a messy bun, and has blue eyes. She is usually seen with a tired, stressed, or annoyed expression on her face.

Rhys sports a blue turtleneck sweater with a light brown blazer with six silver buttons on top. The lapels are a darker brown, and so are the cuffs. She wears jean blue dress pants and black booties. On her left ring finger, she wears a gold wedding band.

## Personality

Rhys is a tired and stressed individual as a whole. She's a very skeptical person, and is known for her "all bark, but no bite" attitude, which points to her cowardice. When things go wrong, she tends to explode, but is often calmed down by either Kofi or Livie. After her initial reaction of anger, she switches to panic, as seen in the Epilogue Cutscene of Vs Kofi.

Despite her abrasive nature, Rhys does care deeply about her family, wanting to protect her wife and daughter from the outside world and distrusting anyone outside of the lab greatly. Her paranoia feeds into how warped her perception of the outside world is.

## Powers & Abilities

**Psychic Abilities -** When joining the P.R.D., Rhys was given basic psychic abilities.

## History

#### Before Joining the P.R.D.

Rhys originally was planning of making a career out of dentistry, but later changed to biology for undisclosed reasons. She was then sought out to work for the P.R.D..

#### Working for the P.R.D.

Rhys studied all sorts of paranormal entities and met Livie and Lacey in the process. She later fell in love with Livie and married her. The couple went investigating a paranormal disruption at a local hospital. Rhys' psychic abilities sensed something no one had ever sensed before, which lead to them meeting a newborn Kofi. She convinced the biological parents to let them take the baby in order to study it to see what exactly was wrong with the child, to which the birth parents reluctantly agreed. After a while of studying the baby, both Rhys and Livie started loving the baby like their own child, in which they decided to take her in as their own.

The workers and subjects faced all sorts of abuse in the workplace, which led to the original President of the P.R.D. disappearing, and Rhys took on the role as President. She has been a shut-in ever since.

#### Before Vs Kofi

Rhys hesitantly let Kofi become a pop idol when she was 16, and studied all sorts of creatures in the lab, even using Kofi's public figure to get intel on the Dearests by having her spy on them.

#### During Vs Kofi

Rhys was told at the end of the rap battle about Kofi's little accident, to which she scolded her daughter for accidentally revealing her biggest secret as well as breaking all lab intruder protocol. Their conversation led Rhys to realizing the Dearests know about the lab, but they can't figure out why. Kofi offers the idea of her trying to fix her mistake, to which Rhys is unenthusiastic about, explaining that she's worried about Kofi potentially getting into deep trouble with the Dearests. After a bit of convincing, Rhys lets her daughter try and fix the big problem she had just created.
