Personality: Someone once commented that to know Riddle is to get a splitting headache. Unfortunately for those who have yet to meet Riddle Jones, that person wasn't joking when they said this. At first Riddle comes off as harmless enough. When you first meet her, she seems like just your average friendly, giggly girl. And then...she'll refuse to go away. Riddle is as clingy as barnacles on a whale and once she's set her sights on you, there's really no getting away from her.
Anyone who has experienced prolonged exposure to Riddle will soon find that friendliness can hurt. Riddle can be said to be the caring sort but she cares just a little too much and more often then not puts other people off by being entirely too motherly. Another thing about Riddle is that she has a strong and forceful personality that hits you like a physical smack to the face. Once she gets an idea in her head, she's not the type to take no for an answer and will just talk and talk and talk until that person submits to her plans.
She is also a single minded girl (ironic when you think about the fact that he dad has two heads) and when she sees something that she likes, she'll stop at nothing to get it. Chatty is an understatement when it's used to describe Riddle. She's the type of person who thinks that if she keeps on volunteering information about herself it would inspire others around her to do the same. Unfortunately, Riddle is not aware that there is such a thing as too much information.
It is not surprising then that Riddle does not have many friends. Most people find her overbearing and very nosy though the majority are probably just creeped out by what they call her 'stalker tendencies'. Though Riddle acts like this does not bother her, she calls herself 'free spirited' and 'uncaring' to anyone who will listen, this isn't the case at all. Though she will never admit it out loud, Riddle has a tendency to hold grudges. She's also the type to spread gossip around school about those who had done her wrong.
History: Eve Jones was just a normal woman living in New York. She had a very normal job as a supervisor in your run of the mill clothing boutique and she didn't possess the good looks or the incredible talent that would have made her stick out from the crowd...much less garner the attention of a god. If there was one thing that could be said about Eve Jones, it was that she was in two minds about everything, from what books to read, to what to have for lunch to what colored socks she wanted to wear on a particular day, and perhaps that was what attracted Janus to her in the first place. The god was curious as to why Eve would hem and haw over every little thing and as he watched her...he fell in love.
It's really a good thing that gods can take on any form they choose. If Janus had approached Eve looking like his usual two headed self, she would not have been so flattered by his advances. They met innocently enough, Janus accidentally bumped into her at a cafe she frequented and they got to talking. Eve found him adorable and she appreciated the fact that he didn't give her a hard time about making choices. However the qualities that attracted Janus to Eve in the first place made her a very tough lady to woo. They were together for over two years before Eve would let him see her bed and by this time Janus was thoroughly in love with her. However he knew that he could not stay and one day Eve woke up to find him simply gone. Janus did not leave her empty handed though, and Eve soon found out that she was pregnant. She could have gone through with an abortion but decided to keep the baby, it was all that she had left of Janus after all.
Riddle was named as such in tribute to her father and his riddling ways. However unlike her mother she didn't seem to have a drop of indecision inside her. Growing up, Riddle didn't have it easy when it came to school work. She was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD which made studying and homework pure torture. She didn't make friends easily as well, as most kids would think that she was making up stories and lying when she told them that she saw horses that had wings and giant dogs disappearing into the shadows or men with only one eye. She became the victim of bullying and Eve started to worry when Riddle would come home from school crying her eyes out.
Things took another change again on her twelfth birthday. Eve was cleaning up the remnants of a small party when Janus decided to stop by. He didn't use normal means to enter the apartment and was just there suddenly freaking Eve out. Quickly explaining everything to her, Janus also added that he wanted to see Riddle and though Eve hesitated she ultimately agreed. Janus presented his daughter with a birthday present. A sliver key, a replica of his own symbol of power.
The summer of her twelfth birthday, she was sent to Half Blood Academy.
Abilities: As the daughter of Janus, Riddle doesn't really have very showy abilities. She can sense it when people are feeling indecisive and on instinct will try to confuse them. Another of Riddle's abilities, and she thinks that this is more useful by far, is that she seems to be able to open any type of locked door.
Weaknesses: Riddle is however not her father and can't appear where important decisions are being made. The most important decisions that Riddle has ever come across is cake vs ice cream and she's getting really tired of it. Also, the whole being able to open locked doors business only extends to doors locked by normal means, if it is sealed by magic, tough luck. She'll have to call on her father and sometimes the gods are difficult.
Other Information: A sliver key, an exact replica of Janus' symbol of power hangs on a chain around Riddle's neck. The key doesn't transform into any sort of weapon but it's temperate raises and cools according to the dangers around Riddle. Sometimes if she needs help, Riddle will clutch the key as she prays to her father but it is unknown if Janus actually lends her his power through the item or not.
