"What a scary face you have on there, Cullen. Even moreso than usual. I imagine there is something ailing you yet?"
Appearing practically out of nowhere, there stood Riesbyfe Stridberg behind Cullen Bloodstone. The two of them were fellow allies during the Point Zero Incident, the supposed first ever "Murder Game" orchestrated by a devil that met his end by the hand of later heroes, or so it was claimed. Of course, given the nature of her rude awakening before anyone else, Riesbyfe had little to no memory of the finer details of the event. Even after all this time, the former Holy Knight still failed to accurately recall the event, the memories just fleeing her grasp. Still, she felt a sort of kindredship with Cullen. These kinds of feelings, they couldn't possibly have been fake, could they? No, they simply had to be the result of facing trials and tribulations alongside each other. A sort of comrade in arms.
Of course, Riesbyfe today fared far better than how she was before. Before the M.E.U. and the Coalition had discovered a remote Umbrella outpost that revealed the locations of the other survivors. Back then, she was far more troubled than before, only remembering the haunting demonic face of Diablo, but now... The pieces fit together a little better. Remembering everything still proved to be a struggle for Riesbyfe, but with every passing day, it became just a little easier. The progress was slow, but it was still progress. She regretted not recognizing those she had befriended during the event; not just Cullen, but also the young men who called themselves "Clark" and "Lucio," who seemed to be even closer to her, but it was something that could not be helped.
After that day, with the mysteries of her past revealed, Riesbyfe decided to take up the offer to reside within Avalon, believing that she had been missing from her home world far too long. If she were to return to that world, she was afraid, not that she would not recognize the world she had left long ago, but rather, that the world would not recognize
her after all this time. So she found a new home in Avalon, where other survivors of the Point Zero Incident also lived now as well, such as Cullen himself of course and Alice Twilight. The young woman remained a sort of "reserve" member of the M.E.U., if only out of gratitude for the care they'd given her during her time with them, though all things considered, if there was one thing that memory loss could not erase, it was her altruistic, knightly manner. She was a good person through and through, with a fierce drive to do what was right, no matter where she was.
But that was then, and this is now.
Crossing her arms (having left her signature shield back at home, making the act of walking around to be far easier), the silver-haired maiden eyed Cullen and Phil, tilting her head slightly.
"Or... rather, was this what you were always like before?" She inquired, a mix between genuine curiosity and some teasing thrown in there as well.
