body language

IN BATTLE
Rikku's normal battle position seems ready to take on anything. She's slightly crouching, her knees are a little bended and she shifts her weight from one leg to another.

When she attacks, she runs to the enemy and puts all her strength to the blow. So much so, that she twirls around completely before running back to her position.

While Mixing her overdrive Rikku crouches low with her back to the enemy and fiddles something with her hands. She then throws her mix to the foe creating damage.

As for the winning pose, in water she does a 360 upside down before hooraying. On ground she does this weird pose. I can't really describe it, but it makes me think she has a gun.

IN GAME
Whenever Rikku's feeling confused or amused, she starts scratching her right cheek. Like when Wakka meets her. They don't say she's an Al Bhed and Wakka's all "praise be to Yevon". Rikku's partly 'What the-' and kind of amused at Wakka's Yevoniteness.

When Rikku's telling something and is really excited about it, she starts 'wiggling' her hands in front of her. The nearest thing that comes into mind about it is dog paddling, when dogs swim.

On top of those memorable traits is the constant bouncing that Rikku does. She sometimes raises her right hand and shifts her weight from foot to foot (usually when she has something to say), sometimes she just plain hops.
