As a werewolf, Rikki has a rather short temper and is fast to point out thing she does not like or agree with. She is not afraid to act on her beliefs and openly defies anyone she does not agree with.
As alpha female of the Shreveport pack, Rikki is very concerned with the safety of her pack. This leads to impulsive actions which do not always correspond with the commands of her pack master.
