Ricki Tan(rih-kee-tan) is a keyblade weilder and a resident of The World of Darkness. She is the nobody of Natilie Ickir.

Story

Ricki is the 17 year old nobody of a desceased keyblade weilder. She has been confused about herself ever since she came to be.

Ricki arrived in front of the haunted mansion gate in Twilight Town. She stood there for awhile wondering where and who she was. A girl her age named Ellis met her there. She offered to be of assistance and told Ricki,"I've been waiting for your arrival, come with me please." Ricki was uneasy but had no where else to go. She followed Ellis. They silently walked through the forest, but instaed of going to town, they made a left turn and came to an enormous tree. Ellis held her hand up in frontof her. A black aura- like energy came from palm and into the tree. The tree moved to one side and before Ellis and Ricki was a narrow tunnel. Ellis explained to Ricki what happened. "I used the power of darkness to reveal this passageway. You have this power too." She led Ricki down the passageway and into a large but dark world. There were all black buldings everywhere and further back was a massive black fortress. Ellis turned to Ricki and said "Welcome to Twilight Town. I'll take you to other people just like us. We call ourselves Nobodies of the Dead."  

They walked down yet another long path and up a ramp into the fortress. Ricki spotted three other people her age, one girl and two boys. Coming towards them was another girl. She introduced herself as Selena. She told Ricki about the place she was in and how they wee just alike. Selena also ordered the others to introduce themselves. The first girl came forward. "My name's Christina. Enjoy your stay," she said and walked away. One of the boys with brown hair's name was Ren, the other boy with black hair's name was Jonathon.

Training

"We collect the darkness in peoples heart and use it for our own."

Throughout the days, Ricki noticed Ellis, Christina, Ren, and Jonathon leaving alot. She asked Selena where they had been going. They go on missions to collect darkness. The easiest way to do this is to defeat the pureblood heartless in the area because they are born purely out of darkness. Ricki was trained to fight like an expert. She was sent on missions wih the others, and fought twice as many heartless as they did. This helped out the goal to become all powerful Nobodies.

Ellis was in charge of teaching Ricki about using her power with the keyblade. She told Ricki how each one of them has the power of darkness, Ricki and Selena having the most power. Everyone else has another power with their weapons. Ellis has water powers, Christina had earth powers, Alex had wind powers, and Jonathon had fire powers. To use the power of darkness, Ricki concentrated hard on herself and the darkness inside her. She was able to summon the darkness and control it. The keylade is what allows her to have this power, and she could unleash it truly using her drive form. "The drive form is temporary, but you can become unstoppable each time you use it."

Jonathon was in charge of teaching Ricki how to plan her attacks and spot the people that contain the most darkness within their heart. He explained to her that the best way was to go to criminals that kill Ricki was not supposed to lunge out at the criminal and kill him, but instead lure them until they are alone. If killed on the spot she would attract too much attention. They needed to stay a secret from the world. The best places to attack on a criminal was their head, back, or stomach. Hitting elsewhere would stall the battle.He told her that she has to try her best to kill as quickly as possible. "If you come face-to-face, attack immediately, or the criminal will have a chance to punch you in the face."　

Christina was unfortunately in charge of teaching Ricki how to attack physically. Christina was the best fighter in the group and bragged to Ricki how much good she was. When punching, Ricki uses her knuckles and quick jabs to stun the opponent. When kicking, she uses the toe part of her shoes which brings more pain to the opponent than using the sides. She also fights using her knees. "I'm a better fighter than you and always will be, but you might become as good as me...eventually."

Ren was in charge of not training Ricki, but to keep her happy so that she stays with the group. He showed her around Twilight Town and around the fortress. They chat alot about who their somebodies were like or about the different heartless they fought they fought.

　

Big Clash

Ricki and the others were involved in a huge fight between their somebodies. It appears that they were resurrected by someone or something.They were planning to put a stop to the groups plans to become all powerful Nobodies. The battle would be super tough since both groups were powerful keybladers.

The Nobodies of the Dead decided to take a break one day and took a visit to Twilight town's clock tower. Ricki had spotted figures in the distance. Their clothes were similar to theirs, but with white outfits. In their hands were keyblades. Without hesitating, she went down to see who they were.

Ricki confronted the girl in the front who looked exactly like Ricki but with shorter blonde hair. Ricki felt as if she's seen this person before but couldn't remember. The people with the strange person also resembled the others at the clock tower. The girl raised her keyblade directly at Ricki telling her, "You must be Ricki Tan, my nobody."

The strange person was the once dead Natilie Ickir.

Ricki summoned her keyblade preparing to fight. Natilie had noticed the others from the clock tower arriving at the scene. The Nobodies recognized their somebodies alongside Natilie, also preparing to fight.

The battle was gruesome but not a single member on either side was ready to give up. The clashing of keyblades could be heard from miles away. After hours of battle, everyone collapsed except for Ricki and Natilie. They continued on with their battle. Using limit breaks and drive forms were not powerful enough because Natilie, being her somebody, could do the same things as Ricki could with the exception of using light. They finally gave up, each member returned to a side. Natilie and her group left with words of revenge: "I'll see you again. The darkness will never overcome light."    

Appearance

Ricki has long black hair which is usually left in a ponytail or two with a red ribbon. She has bright-green eyes. She wears a black robe-like outift with a red lining down the side along with black flat shoes. When going into her drive form, her whole self turns pitch-black and her eyes becomes bright red color.

Personality

Ricki has a neutral personality. At times, she is has a nice personality. She is very sociable as she talks frequently with her friends in the group. She enjoys going out on missions and walking throught Twilight Town. She may seem nice at times, but has a bad temper that shouldn't be played with. When she's mad she tries to remain optimistic, but can be seen with clenched fists, tension in her muscles, grinding teeth, and slightly squinted eyes.
