After Lila left, Rivera became best friends with Jasmine Amber. She is the daughter of her Unnamed Father and Joyce Price (Formerly Joyce Halifax), and the step-daughter of David M. Price.

## Personality (shush its not gonna make sense)

### As Rivera

A bit timid and self-abased person. Rivera keeps a pure and kind heart with others. Despite her keeping a pure and kind heart, she can get easily irritated. She is also sometimes witty. She cares a lot about her best friends Jasmine and Lila, and gets really worried when thinking about them going to different colleges and them forgetting about her.

### As Chiroptera

Unlike her civilian personality, Chiroptera is described as sharp, witty, and hardened, she is generally friendly and approachable and has always put the needs of others first rather than confronting her own emotional turmoil.

## Relationships

### Friends

##### Lila Rossi

* Lila and Rivera have been best friends since childhood. Rivera felt abandoned when Lila moved somewhere else shortly after Rivera's father died, and while they were reunited when Lila began attending Collège Françoise Dupont, Rivera still retains some negative feelings from their separation. Even so, Rivera cares very deeply for Lila even though she lies or is manipulative, Rivera hopes to rekindle their friendship upon her return to Paris, since she always hoped for a reunion.

### Before Volpina

* Despite their loss of contact, it is clear that Rivera still cares deeply for Lila, and she is constantly on Rivera's mind. She is deeply upset that Lila left Italy and remarks that she would take her back "in a heartbeat" and hopes she'll at least come to Paris or Italy when she moves back in the future.

#### Jasmine Amber

* Jasmine also takes a keen interest in Rivera and tries to get her to open up on several occasions, notably in the Jean-Pierre Monlataing's class, when she asks Rivera what she thinks on the subject of love. Jasmine is also interested in getting to know Rivera as evidenced by the Two Truths and a Lie game. Jasmine feels that she can trust Jasmine and shares personal memories with her. Rivera is visibly upset when Jasmine leaves her alone in the junkyard. Rivera is sympathetic when Jasmine becomes upset at her father cheating on her mother. Rivera and Jasmine agree to leave Paris together, showing their strong trust in one another.

### Family

##### David M. Price

* David and Rivera have a fragmented and antagonistic relationship. Rivera clearly disrespects him and has a number of unfavorable nicknames for him including "step-douche" and "step-führer ". David has been shown to be physically and verbally abusive towards Rivera, such as slapping her and calling her a loser. However, David seems to want a happier relationship with Rivera despite their fragmented and antagonistic relationship; a birthday card from him to her suggests that he is proud to be a step-father. Though he may not be able to show it properly, he truly is concerned about Rivera's well-being.

In the new timeline (The timeline where Gabriel sacrificed himself) Rivera and her step-father now appear to have a caring and happier relationship with each other as she finally has now accepted David as a father figure in her life.

##### Unnamed biological father

Rivera was very close with her father and spent much time with him growing up. She says that her biological was the perfect father, who was always fun to be around and never angry, who treated her like an equal, and enjoyed cooking breakfast alongside him. His sudden death left her devastated, Rivera even felt more devastated when Lila moved somewhere else. Rivera still sometimes still mourns about her father's death.

##### Joyce Price (formerly Joyce Halifax)

Rivera cares about her mother, but her behavior causes tension between the two. Joyce constantly berates Rivera staying out past curfew, attending rock shows, and disrespecting her and David. Rivera feels Joyce is being unfair and that the things she does are not a big deal. Rivera misses when Joyce used to "actually be cool" when her father was alive.

### Enemies

###### Chloe Bourgeois

Rivera and Chloe have a poor relationship as evidenced by Rivera being unimpressed by Chloe showing off. Chloe looks down on Rivera and comments on why Jasmine would hang out with her concluding that Jasmine must be into "some messed up stuff" if she's hanging out with Rivera.

### Jasmine Amber

Rivera describes Jasmine as a girl "nobody wouldn't expect"; she's not like any type and is the most surprising person she has ever met. Rivera didn't say this because Jasmine saved her life; she said this because of how Jasmine just gives off this feeling that "anything is possible when you are with her". She also wonders, it sounds like she has a crush on her and hoping that she reveals something really horrible about herself soon such as loving cat memes, stamp collection or anything else to make her a little less indescribably awesome. Since she had seen Rachel for the first time, Rivera thinks how awesome she is and can't believe that a girl like that hanging out with her.

### Before Miraculous Ladybug

Rivera and Lila grew up together in Italy with their families, where they were close childhood friends who used to always hang around each other and dreamt of their future and the adventures they would experience together. We discover that Rivera had a cat who later died. In unknown year Lila was with Rivera at her house when Rivera's father tragically died in a car crash. Although Lila was supportive at the time, her family moved away to somewhere else, leaving Rivera to deal with her grief alone. Rivera always used to smile and laugh, but gradually became more resentful of her life without her father and Lila. Not long after the loss of her father, Rivera's mother Joyce and Rivera moved to Paris. Joyce and David Price became lovers 2 months after they moved to Paris. David Price is a military veteran and Head of Security at Collège Françoise Dupont, called Françoise Dupont Middle School/High School whom Rivera immediately despised. She grew more and more frustrated with Paris and conceived the desire to escape from her home town. Rivera attended Collège Françoise Dupont, where she eventually found support from another local girl, Jasmine Amber, striking up a firm friendship. Rivera and her new best friend planned to run away together to Los Angeles, California to start a new life together.

## **Alternate** Universe

The **Alternate Universe** is an entirely different reality from Quantic Universe.

### Rivera

In this universe, Rivera is a stubborn, mischievous, and rebellious young woman. She is the archetypal punk-rocker, expressed in both her music taste and style and can be described as bold and very outgoing. She has a big mouth often making snarky comments, acts fearless and loves to take risks, which often gets her in trouble. She can be prone to angry outbursts, and has serious issues with abandonment and trust after her father's death, Lila's move, her mother’s remarriage to David and the disappearance of Jasmine Amber. Due to all her bad experience over the years, she has become pessimistic and resentful of life, convinced that there wasn't really anyone who actually cared about her or who she could trust in.

### Rivera's Friends

##### Jasmine Amber

Jasmine and Chloe became very close friends after Lila left Rivera behind. Rivera thinks of Jasmine as her "angel", the one who rejuvenated her life after her father died and Lila left her behind. The two often got into varying degrees of mischief and spent a lot of time in Rivera's "secret hideout." Rivera developed a deep trust in Jasmine, rivaled only by her friendship with Lila, and planned to leave Paris for good with her once they paid off Cash (lets just say he was in Paris instead of Shanghai), but she disappeared before they could do so. There are numerous mementos of Rivera and Jasmine's friendship in their hideout and in Rivera's room, which prove their deep bond and Jasmine's central role in Rivera's life.

### Lila Rossi

Despite their loss of contact, it is clear that Rivera still cares deeply for Lila, and she is constantly on Rivera's mind. She is deeply upset that Lila left her behind back in Italy and remarks that she would take her back "in a heartbeat".

###### Cash (lets say he lived in paris long before shanghai)

Rivera and Cash are at odds after she borrowed three thousand dollars from Cash without a way to pay him back. She hoped that Jasmine could help her but she disappeared without warning. Cash threatens Rivera when she doesn't pay him back, but Rivera becomes more disgusted with Frank than scared when she sees him wearing Jasmine's bracelet and eventually learns that the two had a relationship.

## Abilities

#### As Chiroptera

basically mostly what a average miraculous holder has

Vocalization; can track down anything with its super sense of hearing; isolating it causing the owner to find it

#### As Rivera

##### Photography

Rivera is also a practicing photographer. Since her early child years (like around 5 or 6), she has practiced to perfect her skills using analog camera equipment, preferring "old school" over the much improved technology of digital cameras. Her former photography teacher used to often encouraged her to put her skills out to the public. Although her passion in photography, she does not aspire it to be a career path. Instead she rathers be a record store employee  or a radio broadcaster

## Trivia

Rivera's quotes are mostly from omori book PASWG or life is strange quotes since Soapbubbl is lazy to think of one

For those who dont know what "Chaos Theory" is its basically the branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behavior is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences or its basically called the butterfly effect

Rivera is actually around based on Chloe Price and Max caulfiled from life is strange (minus Chloe's criminal activities)

Her birthday being July 22 makes her a Cancer-Leo cusp and not a true Leo or maybe Rivera prefers herself as a Leo but not a Cancer. There is also a possibility that Rivera simply says she's a Leo, either for an unknown reason or convenience.
