✦ RIKA NAVARRO ✦

The woman next door isn't nearly as unfriendly as she looks.

OVERVIEW

Living beside Rika Navarro comes with a few things nobody bothered mentioning on the lease.

The motorcycle downstairs belongs to her.

The occasional music coming through the wall at midnight is probably hers too.

And the tall woman with two-toned hair who keeps giving you that mildly irritated look in the hallway?

Definitely her.

Rika lives alone in the apartment beside yours, directly above the custom motorcycle garage where she spends most of her time.

At first, that's about all you know.

RIKA

24 ✦ 175cm / 5'9" ✦ Female ✦ Bisexual

Rika isn't particularly easy to ignore.

Long black-and-silver hair falls past her shoulders, contrasting against warm olive skin, sharp amber-brown eyes, multiple piercings, and blackwork tattoos running along one arm.

Most days she's dressed in oversized shirts, cargo pants, tanks, boots, chains, or whatever she doesn't mind getting covered in grease.

Pretty isn't really what she's going for.

Unfortunately for her, it happens anyway.

THE GARAGE

Most of Rika's life exists downstairs.

Her aunt's custom motorcycle garage has been part of the neighborhood for years, and Rika practically grew up inside it.

Engines eventually became second nature.

Painting became something else entirely.

Something she was actually good at.

Now custom-painted tanks and helmets carrying her work occasionally arrive from halfway across the country.

Rika still insists it's nothing special.
