Riddel is in a curious position in this battle; nobody expects her to win. The reasons are numerous of course, they say she's a mage without magic, that she's natural born rescue bait, that she lacks Tia's fighting spirit, on and on they prattle. But when no one thinks you're a threat, they tend to let their guard down, not notice you. No one questioned when Riddel examined Tia's statistics and discovered her appalling physical durability. No one was curious when she requested a walking staff made from the finest Rainbow. Will they still underestimate this fighting daughter of Lord Viper when she bides her time, conserves her energy, then unleashes a full combo upon Tia and destroys her long before Tia's spells break through Riddel's impressive magical defenses? Well, we'll just have to see, won't we.
