She is a quick wit and smooth talker in every language she has command of. Working for years with the U.N. made her a diplomat who would not put up with anything from anyone. Quick to laugh, and quick to knock someone on their ass. She had a gift to be able to tell someone to go to hell and make them look forward to the journey. She keeps people at an arms length but will kill and die for her team; though she isn't above knocking some sense into them if the occasion calls for it. Sarcastic at times, sometime people cannot tell if she is joking or just being cruel.

This created a unique home life; her father teaching her to use her words, her mother teaching her what do to when words where no longer effective. She took to both at a young age. Risa loved seeing what she could get away with at a young age; if she couldn't sweet talk her way out of a situation she would fight her way out. If that didn't work, she would need a quick exit; girl had a knack for getting in over her head from time to time. Being able to free climb became key in keeping her pretty little head on her shoulders. She excelled in school and was set to join the Finnish Air Force after she turned 18; due to her mastery of several languages by this time she was recruited by her government to work as a translator for their various Embassies. They would assign her to various diplomats as a liaison when traveling. She enjoyed the work and travel, quickly working up the ranks to Language Coordinator for the U.N. in Geneva due to her leadership skills, mastery of the official U.N. languages and ability to calm hostilities between nations thanks to a quick wit and smooth talking game. This plus her past times brought her into the focus of Argus and she has been with them the last year.

Partners both in and out of the field, the two work well together in most any situation. [*] ☯ [b][color=a187be]Elijah Craig:[/color][/b] He seems okay in her book but she does think he needs to relax some. They work alright together and outside of work really just let things be. [*] ☮ [b][color=a187be]Greta Kohler:[/color][/b] Risa and Greta get along fine, friends outside of work and can work together. Risa will tend to rag both Greta and Lucas about their rivalry; but it's all in good fun. [*] ☮ [b][color=a187be]Minami Yuuna:[/color][/b] Despite the fact that Risa is dating someone, Lucas, that Miniami can't stand these two get along well; great even. If there is a besties for spies, it is these two. They work well together and can be seen hanging out when not on an opt. They may come from different places and out looks but they mesh well together. [*] ⚜ [b][color=a187be]Dorian Peters:[/color][/b] Risa and Dori don't really speak; he seems a pit put off by it but they work well together and have each other's back when on an op. He has skills and carries himself well, she respects that. [*] ☮ [b][color=a187be]Len Mordikai:[/color][/b] Risa thinks well of Len, he seems alright and is a good team mate. They share a love of Sci-Fi, which means you'll hear them make quips from various movies. [*] ☮ [b][color=a187be]Oliver Gandell:[/color][/b] Oliver and Risa are on friendly terms, they have a similar outlook and upbringing. Though she does think he needs to loosen up a bit and not judge a book by its cover, or an agent by their past. [/list] [/hider]
