I couldn't get a scene from Steamy 27 out of my brain, so I logged in to see what I could make of it with vanilla posing. Even without the props I want, I think I was able to translate vision to media.
It's still so funny to me that Riffie's cute in any hairstyle, how does she do it.
#riffiegposes
Rifka Dushane is seated in her undies with her wrists appearing to be tied behind her back. Her normally tidy, braided hair has been messed up and is falling over her face. She bares her teeth angrily at her off-screen adversary. We look closer at Riffie's angry face. The air around her is turning orange with fire-aspected aether, the first warning sign that she is not just losing her temper, but her control. We zoom in even closer. The fire is now present in Riffie's eyes, signaling that she has lost control and activated her powers as the Avatar of Azeyma.

I have been cooking this in my brain since people started posting theirs, and four hours later I think I can call this DONE!

What Thordan saw behind Riffie as he died:
#riffiegposes
Archbishop Thordan on his hands and knees, dying after his battle against Riffie. He looks up at her in absolute horror and cries out, "Who - WHAT are you???" Riffie in the limitbreak T-pose stares down at Thordan with a cold smirk. As she raises her arms, he sees Gods rising up behind her. Firstly, Azeyma, Mother Sun, the very flame that burns in her core. Then Hydaelyn, the Star Herself. Behind her stands Hraesvelgr, having given the power of his eye, his Blessing, to Rifka with his Sire's guidance. And lastly, looming over all of them, the massive form of Midgardsormr himself. His ever-watchful eye glares down at Thordan, condemning him for his sins against the children of Dragon and Man both. The vast, unknowable skies of Ultima Thule stretch out behind them all.

pov: you told Riffie her smile could heal you
Rifka Dushane gazes at the camera with her devastatingly stunning rbf. She looks as though her thoughts are a million miles away. Are they somewhere better than here? Somewhere worse? Who knows! A moment later, she gives the camera a Big Grin, which makes her eyes squint merrily and flashes her fangs in the corners of her mouth.

Anybody else wanna see what happens when Riffie goes to the hairstylist?

She looks good in everything.

She even looks cute in the mullet (I like mullets, this isn't a dig) But, just, how? How is she always perfect? I could change her hair every day...

No tags cause I'm just fucking around

Riffie's birth parents are MOST LIKELY dead. No one has found them (yet) or traces OF them, so... Supposedly they died with the rest of the tribe when she was 4, in a raid by (as yet) unknown violent peoples. She doesn't remember their names or faces, but WE get to see more.
#wolanswer #riffielore
Raziel Darkpaw, Riffie's birth father. Theory ATM is that he was a Garlean conscript captured in the Shroud, forced to do many unsavory things, akin to the Slaves/Gladiators in Spartacus: Blood and Sand. He's been forced to fight, kill, and fuck, all for the pleasure of the Empire. That probably explains why he looks like something in the room with him stinks. We can see that he has a rich tan skin color and narrowed eyes, and full, down-turned lips, potentially where Riffie got them. Skyliah Darkpaw, Riffie's birth mother. Theory ATM is that she was a Garlean conscript captured in Bozja. Like Raziel, she's been forced to fight, kill, and fuck, all for the pleasure of the Empire, which lead to her getting pregnant by Raz. Not wanting the Empire to take/kill her baby, she and the others in their small troop concocted a plan to escape to the Steppes, which succeeded for at least 4 years. We can see that she has sorrowful eyes of a brilliant green, and black fur with spots. I did my very best to make both her and Riffie very Jaguar-coded. This is probably where Riffie get's her broad shoulders and height from, as well as her eye color. I think Riffie's fangs might also be slightly closer together like Hrothgar fangs are, but SE devs are a buncha cowards and moved Mooncat fangs farther back with the graphics update. Don't think we didn't notice, SE. Why not just erase them if you hate them so much? Don't do that though. I'll quit. Uh. Sorry for the rant. Thank you for reading, I love you.

Like I said to my son-friend Oppy: "It's all heehee-haha until the Jester starts casting Fire IV"

To make it a more picto-relevant joke "I call this next one... Fire, in Red!"

I did also say that doing the final picto quest in a jester hat was fitting for that clownass final message...

Anyway
Rifka Dushane in the sexy red, black and gold caster top from Paglth'an, paired with the arum smalls shorts, the demon caster boots and the demonic caster gloves. She's wearing a black and red jester hat with a silver mask that seems to fit the glam oddly well. This jester is going to set the court on fire!

The only thing Estinien can bully her about is her height, and she's TALL for a Miqo'te! He likes that she'll fight back though, so it all works out.

Any excuse to post the art of Riffie I got!! In lore and in RP Riffie gets fairly cagey in crowds and absolutely hates letting strangers stand behind her, and it's because she's been whipped, twice. Also, she has a quick and violent hatred for whips in general.

Comm'd art from @anaithnidd.bsky.social of my OC Rifka Dushane. Her pose suggests you walked in on the buff Monk getting dressed, as she's in the process of putting on her chest-wrap. She stands in her shorts and stockings, her back full of ugly scars, old and new, in full view. Her vivid tattoos are also visible on each shoulder: A Dragon clutching a crescent moon surrounded by stars, and a Cat facing a blazing sun surrounded by embers. She has started to turn her head, and is about to catch you staring - but she doesn't seem at all bothered. Her tail is relaxed and curling around her legs, which calls attention to the small pistol sitting in her normally-hidden thigh rig. Unless you already know how she got the scars - she's probably not going to tell you. Not today. Close-up look at Rifka Dushane's face. She's scarred across her nose, and across one of her eyes as well.

“It’s so easy to forget how strong you actually are…”
I grinned at him, purring deeply and flicking my tail playfully. “Mmm… How dare you…”

archiveofourown.org/works/525529...
An intimate moment between Riffie and Thancred, taking place in her room in The Pendants. She has him pinned by the wrists to the bed, and he's blushing and gasping as his attempts to get free only cause their their bodies to rub together, which will eventually cause him to harden. "I almost forgot how strong you are," he confesses sheepishly. "Mmm, and how dare you..." She purrs back at him, playfully pretending to be irritated. Her tail flicks through the air as she slants her eyes at him dangerously. You best believe she's gonna wreck him in a minute, Reader! Also, if you can still see the line of her thong, no you cant. Okay? Okay. <3 Love you Close up of the same scene from the other side. It's a little more clear how Thancred is gasping and Riffie is watching him with an expression between smug and irritation as she pins him easily to the bed. He won't forget she's stronger than him after tonight, Reader, that's for sure!

Riffie is mixed and Native American coded. Currently, her lore is that her mother was Bozjan Hroth and her father was a Moon Cat from Gridania, but she doesn't know that. She does definitely look like it, though. I'm also mixed, Native+Ukranian/Canadian-Jewish, so I designed Riffie to honor both my

An in-game version of Riffie as you might see her on the daily: In her crimson tunic boots and bracers. She is Praying to the Sun Goddess Azeyma in an act she simply calls "Greeting the Sun."

I did a whole sequence for this ❤️ Nightmare Fighters! TO ME! LETS NAP!
#riffiegposes
Riffie is curled up all comfy-cozy and even though Estinien is a belly sleeper, he still makes sure to hold her close. Just in case. Raha is the little spoon. Because he should be. Riffie is holding him close and their fingers are laced together (we can pretend) and their tails would be too, but this is how I learned Raha's tail is actually really short lmao. That or it's stuck in the bed. I should remake this sometime. Thancred and Riffie are both nightmare havers, so they are clutching each other tightly, ready to fight each other's demons while they sleep. ~Grant me serenity~ Urianger holds Riffie gently while she sleeps in his arms, all curled up and relaxed. He's smiling softly as he watches over her, and might eventually sleep himself, lulled by the sound of Riffie's quiet purring.

I think the inspiration for this year's Halloween costume are pretty obvious.
#riffiegposes
Rifka Dushane is dressed up as an unhinged vampire! She's wearing the schoolastic coat in red, with the iridescent hat of aiming. There's also gloves and pants and boots not pictured. Over her shoulder you can just make out the handle of her gun, Blue Steel Riffie giving the "Unhinged Grin" while showing off her fangs. She's wearing a giant red hat, yellow tinted glasses, and a red coat over a white formal blouse. "The last thing you'll see" Another "Unhinged Grin" but this time you're staring down the barrel of a very large gun, with Riffie laughing at the other end. You can see the mantle of her coat fluttering around her shoulders. "Unhinged Grin" for my updated MCH portrait. Off to make people laugh (or swoon??) in my roulettes.

Dragonfly Chapter 11 has 5 pages so far, and I hope this makes you want to read them. Riffie meets Nidhogg (Nidstinien), and I need you all to know that I'm a little obsessed with him.
The image is of the OPs work in progress on her fanfic called Dragonfly, It reads: Caught, she could only watch in awe as Estinien’s frame began to grow larger. Dark spikes and black scales sprouted up along his neck, rippling rapidly down his arms, sides and legs. Four black horns emerged from his head, above and below his long, Elven ears, and curved forward toward her. The massive hand that had closed around her wrist now clutched her entire forearm, and pricked her skin with the tips of heavy claws.

I've been thinking about this a lot, so I finally just fired up the game and went to play with her hair. Early to Rise is the perfect haircut for a cranky girl child with the nicknames "Wild One" and "Little Ember"
Bonus, what she'd look like blonde. The answer is: cursed.
Rifka Dushane, dressed in the Demon striking set, her hair done in Early to Rise. She looks /annoyed and she's really cute when she's angy. Rifka Dushane with her hair done in Early to Rise, but this time blonde. Her son Tono is on her shoulder, and she's wearing the Pantheon caster dress.
