Riley Ryann

History
Riley Ryann-Elmore was born on October 14, 2001. He is Amber Ryann's adopted stepbrother.

Riley was an orphan who spent most of his days seeing people come and go at the orphanage. Getting a bit on the old side, the orphanage began to urge people looking to adopt to consider taking Riley. Riley wasn't a bad kid by any means but being 12 years old at the time wasn't an attractive package for people looking to experience the joys of raising a child.

After evicting Amber from their home, Karen and Bill visited the orphanage and felt that Riley would be the perfect fit. Despite him being six years younger than Amber, Bill felt that it was close enough to make up for all of the lost time from not having a son. Riley was brought into the Ryann family where he was treated rather well by Bill which, in turn, caused Karen to act like a mother. They gave him anything he asked for and made him feel like he was at home.

That all changed the day Amber came and confronted Bill and Karen. Riley overheard the entire conversation and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Karen and Bill never once mentioned Amber to him and when he found out what they had put Amber through, Riley's heart broke. Before Amber and Kaito could leave, he snuck out of the house and gave Amber a note. He quickly told her that he doesn't hate her and to call him.

After meeting up with Amber at her apartment, Riley was so disgusted with Amber's parents that he wanted to move out. Even though they don't have any room to put him up, Amber and Kaito ask around and Rebekah ends up volunteering to take Riley in. Riley sets up a date and time where he packs up everything that he would want to take and with Kaito and Amber's help, he runs away from home, leaving behind a note for Bill and Karen. Riley began his new life living with Rebekah and being a part of Amber's life as a true brother to her.

Riley ends up joining Amber's guild in Sanctuary: Rise of Heroes. After becoming somewhat successful, he leaves the guild for a position at Waterfall Records, working for Lynn Aichner and Rebekah Gallagher. After the time skip, Riley becomes an executive and travels the world, meeting potential clients on behalf of Lynn.

Appearance
Riley wears a plain light brown t-shirt and black jeans. He has short, spiky dirty blonde hair and light green eyes.

Personality
Riley is friendly, caring, and carefree. Being an orphan, he had grown accustomed to seeing people come into and leave his life. Those experiences made it easy for him to run away from home and live with Rebekah even though, at the time, she was a complete and total stranger to him.
