Why I love Riku by AngelJay13

My entry for #SymContest is Riku.

I'll probably need some comment room to finish.

So why is my favorite character Riku?

For starters his hair. I never could understand as a kid that he could have silver hair at such a young age. Now it's my prefered hair color on characters and I let my silver hairs shine proudly on my head (cause I have a lot).
Second, he became my video game rival. I couldn't play as him, so I wanted to beat him at everything.

Riku was always the toughest boss in the games and I loved and hated every battle. He was also a year older than me from KH1 to KH2. I'll finally beat him in age when KH3 comes out.

Third reason is cause I see a lot of myself in him. Being so much better than others, but a bit jealous of them. He's always in a fight with himself and darkness. In Dream I cried learning how his biggest fears is losing his friends and I lost two close friends over the past year. What I fear most isn't death, but losing those I love or hurting them. Riku keeps pushing on so I will too. Things get better.

And last would be how Riku brought me together with one of my best friends. For a school project he was doing you make a family and he told me I should join in. He had me plan out my marriage with Riku, family we would have and jobs. It was a fun school project. And I still debate on asking this friend out or not. But if me and him date, it's thanks to KH and Riku for bringing something we could talk about together forever and even today.

Wonderful explanation! I sorta had a crush on him when Kingdom Hearts first came out. But he'd be an excellent older sibling for me qwq
Thank you so much for entering!

A little too many feels? Maybe?

Thanks Orange <3

And thank you very much for making this contest Symphonic. I needed some motivation and this gave me it.
