contextual studies 1

for contextual studies I'm in a group doing a presentation about characters. I have chosen to do Riku out of the Kingdom Hearts series as I would like to understand how eastern characters are much more varied than in western countries. Also I like how even though Riku a non-playable most of the time he has a very interesting personality that really connects with the player as being more human than some other characters.
for example in Kingdom Hearts he was a sympathetic villain trying to help his friend but then turned his attention to power. through out the series Riku tries to redeem himself to become a brave and morally good person.
Clothing on the other hand his appearance is very interesting to me as it reflects his character. for example his silver hair could emphasis the idea of being calm but can also symbolize that his heart is not completely good or bad. This is appealing to the audience as nobody is perfect and nobody can make good decisions all the time. Also his clothes can give indications about his personality as he is wear the majority of blue it an represent his calm nature and the yellow his happiness and energy while around his friends compared to Sora who wear red in the 1st game which can represent his bold character.



His clothes also gives an indication about his personality as he is wear a majority of blue it can represent his depressive or serious nature compared to other characters like Sora who wears red to represent his bold character.
