i am a non-sharing riako, but i prefer to keep my relationship private. i don't often discuss it with people i am not super close with, please understand. ♡
i don't appreciate any speculation or prying into the identity of my f/o, i have not mentioned it anywhere for a reason.
however, i do love chatting with other riakos and yumeshippers so please feel free to talk to me about your relationship! i also love to educate and share experiences with others regarding being a riako!! ⸜(ˊᗜˋ)⸝
it's hard to summarize myself with only a few series and characters, so here are some of my general interests that might not get mentioned as much!

♡ otome games have been a part of my entire life, i genuinely could not imagine what kind of person i would be without them. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) i play most games that have been localized in english on iOS, Nintendo Switch, and PS Vita~
♡ other than otome, i love playing many visual novels! i tend to stay within the horror or mystery genres, but i am also a huge eroguro/nukige and chuunige/denpa fan. (ᗒ⩊ᗕ)
♡ it's hard for me to resist a good JRPG, especially if it has turn-based combat~ (つ✧ω✧)つ
♡ growing up, i pretty much exclusively consumed shoujo manga and anime, but as i get older i find myself loving a lot more shounen titles. i still love shoujo, with my favorites being slice of life reverse harems and idol series; while for shounen i tend to prefer isekais or kaiju/mecha series.
