Ria didn't really know what to do with herself at times. She wasn't exactly lost, mind you. She knew these streets fairly well by now, or at least, this part of the slums. She rarely ever ventured outside of the dirty and downtrodden neighbourhoods here. It suited her. She grew accustomed to it. The low quality of life amongst it's inhabitants. The high level of crimminality... It couldn't be further away from the home she used to know even if it tried. She had once lived amongst the aristocrats of Athara all those years ago. And yet, despite the large contrast between her past and present, she oddly enough found some sort of twisted comfort living here. She wasn't proud of herself for what she had become, so why should she be living among the worthy? No, this place suited her best, with it's dusty air and dirty roads. And Ria had made it quick to demonstrate that she was not someone you messed with. Not that many had any reason to, as she didn't have any belongings on her person aside from the clothes and her somewhat ornate shoulderguards and belt. And any who tried to take them from her were punished brutally. It was soon well known that she was one to avoid. Not that she sought out the company anyway. Ria for the most part just stayed away from any larger crowds and kept to herself, in some alleyway or rooftop somewhere. Despite her old age as a robot, Ria was still rather nimble. Sure, she was not quite like what she used to be back when she was first assembled, but in place of that agility came invaluable experience.

This paticular day, Ria found herself hanging around the less populated parts of Shanty town, keeping an eye out on the town square in front of her from the slightly shaded alleyway where she had taken her refuge for now. She sat uptop a rather roughed up crate, leaning against the wall with one foot danging down the side of her seat, while the other was hidden underneath the former leg's thigh. Her glowing, blue eyes followed the townsfolk every now and again, perhaps with a bit of longing in them. Oh how she wanted to go out there and talk to people... but she couldn't. Not after what happened last time... Ria wouldn't allow herself to put them at risk for the sake of her own social wants.
