RikkuRikku is a playable character in the PlayStation 2 games Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. She is a young, perky Al Bhed girl with blonde hair and a penchant for mechanics and thievery. Originally named "Ryukku" (リュック) in the Japanese version, her name was changed to Rikku for the North American version. Rikku has a variety of clawlike weapons, her ultimate equipment being the "Godhand." Her shields are called targes. Rikku's class is most similar to that of a thief from earlier Final Fantasy games, combined with the Alchemist job of Final Fantasy V. Initially Rikku is the only character with the ability to steal and use a subset of items, some offensive like "smoke grenades" or "water gems", some healing or defensive like Al Bhed potions and "light curtains". This, together with her overdrive ability to mix any two items for greater effect, makes her one of the most versatile characters in the party. Along with Tidus, Rikku is one of the two characters who can order the Airship to move in or pull back, when fighting takes place atop it. Rikku became something of a sex symbol among Final Fantasy fans. She was voiced in English by voice actor Tara Strong, in Japanese by Marika Matsumoto. She was originally to be in Kingdom Hearts, but due to being a main character in Final Fantasy X-2, she was replaced by Yuffie. Character details 15-years-old in FFX, Rikku is the daughter of Cid, sister of Brother, and cousin of Yuna. As a child, her mother was killed by a malfunctioning machina. She hopes to have lots of children when she gets married. She also has a phobia of lightning as a result of her Brother accidently hitting her with a thunder spell meant for a Fiend attacking her. Rikku first appeared in the story to help Tidus when he first arrives in Spira, although her brother and their Al Bhed comrades are somewhat suspicious of him. On the way to Malacania Temple, Rikku tried to abduct Yuna in a machina, only to be stopped by Tidus and Wakka. After explaining herself to Yuna and Lulu, Rikku became the last character to join Yuna's team of guardians, though Wakka was clueless that she was a Al Bhed until her Brother tried to abduct Yuna himself. Her personality is perky and optimistic, but as an Al Bhed she has suffered some discrimination from the Yevonite majority. But she keeps a positive outlook on life despite it, and she wanted to save Yuna from killing herself in vain. In Final Fantasy X-2, Rikku is 17 years old and a member of "YRP"—Yuna, Rikku, and Paine. (This trio is part of a group of sphere hunters called the "Gullwings," who are "led" by Brother.) The only character from FFX other than Yuna that's playable in FFX-2, Rikku is steadfastly loyal to Yuna. It is with Rikku that Yuna discusses her hopes and feelings about the loss of Tidus.
