* BusmansVocabulary: She regularly makes gardening puns and references, calling Delilah an "evergreen" attorney.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Her ditzy demeanor and spaced out nature is all just an act. As noted above, she's totally immune to catnip, and only plays it up to fly under everybody else's radar.

to:

* BeneathSuspicion: Between her being TheStoner and explicitly outside during the entire time span of the murder, basically no one suspects Ria up until TheReveal. As a bonus, she was already a witness on the first day of the trial, and in Ace Attorney, [[MetaTwist that would usually mean her role is over]].

* BigWordShout: '''''Nya ah ah!''''', used exclusively after her transformation. It's essentially the vocalization of a FingerWag.

* BusmansVocabulary: She regularly makes gardening puns and references, references after her transformation, calling Delilah an "evergreen" attorney.

* ClothingConcealedInjury: After realizing that Ria could've come in contact with the sharp figurine in Lord Tigre's study, Delilah suspects she might be hiding an injury on her. Ria seemingly proves her wrong by taking off her gloves, but Delilah knows that wasn't [[AgonyOfTheFeet the only part she left vulnerable]] and finds the actual injury under one of her boots.

* DisregardThatStatement: A rare case of this being pulled by a witness rather than a lawyer. In order to bring a swift end to the trial, Ria suddenly presents a hidden camera photograph that both heavily incriminates Lara and definitively proves Monty's innocence in one fell swoop. Kyle is quick to point out that this evidence wasn't verified by the police and is thus illegal, but Ria counters that the jury has already seen it and they don't give a damn about the specifics, something she is quickly proven right about.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She gets annoyed at Delilah for not just taking the easy win she hands her towards the end of the case, as the possum refuses to let her get away with murder even if her client goes free.

* FakeAlibi: One that wasn't even deliberate on her part. Thanks to the machinations of Monty and Humphrey, the entire court is led to believe that Lord Tigre unwittingly ingested the poison that killed him. As Ria was proven to be outside at the time, and thus had no means of feeding it to him, she is implicitly removed from the list of suspects. It's only when Delilah figures out the true murder method that she realizes this alibi no longer holds.

* FrameUp: She initially planted Monty's lapel pin in the study for this purpose, having no idea at the time that Monty would ''actually'' show up and proceed to frame ''himself'' even more efficiently.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: While in the midst of a catnip high, she asks Delilah what sort of monster was responsible for breaking up Humphrey and Lara, forgetting that it was her. Of course, the eventual reveal that she had been ObfuscatingStupidity lends some doubt to just how 'innocent' it truly was.

radar.

* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: As part of her job at least. It ends up being a plot point, as she was forced to remove her gardening boots to avoid tracking mud into the crime scene, but then had to keep them on [[ClothingConcealedInjury to hide her resulting injury]].

* PlayfulCatSmile: Her default expression, mirrored by her hat. After her transformation, it becomes a sinister CheshireCatGrin instead.

* PragmaticVillainy: As she bears no actual grudge against Monty, she is completely okay with letting him get a Not Guilty verdict so long as the trial ends before her own guilt can be proven. She even tries to ''force'' the issue with a piece of conclusive evidence in the defense's favor.

* ScaryScarecrow: What her transformation is meant to invoke. In fact, the bag-like mask and sharp claws give her a resemblance to [[ComicBook/TheScarecrow THE Scarecrow]].

* SecretlySelfish: She tries to make the case that she was as much a victim of Lord Tigre as anyone else, but Delilah is quick to shut her down, pointing out that everyone ''else'' who tried to kill Lord Tigre was doing it for another's sake while Ria only did it for her own selfish motives and tried to frame anyone else she could.



* VerbalTic: Nyah. She's even given a unique BigWordShout in the form of '''Nya ah ah''', which is probably meant to either be the vocalization of a FingerWag, or an EvilLaugh.

to:

* TurnsRed: When accused of the murder, she nervously pulls her hat over her face, further and further until she accidentally yanks it all the way down, getting her head stuck. After struggling for a moment, she stops, extends her claws through her gloves, and tears the hat's brim off, what's left of it becoming a scarecrow-esque mask. She also completely drops the stoner act at this point.

* VerbalTic: Nyah. She's even given Has a unique habit of combining [[AnimalSpeciesAccent 'nya']] with other words that rhyme to say things like 'nyahuh' or 'nyawha?'. Despite otherwise dropping her sillier traits after her transformation, she not only keeps this tic but turns it into a BigWordShout and an EvilLaugh.

* VillainousBreakdown: Ria staggers back
in the form of '''Nya ah ah''', shock and bumps into her own topiary statue, which is probably meant begins to either be fall apart. She attempts to pull it back together, but ends up creating the vocalization visage of a FingerWag, Chef Humphrey pointing accusingly instead. Panicking, she tries again and creates Sunny, then Lady Tigre. Ria falls back in surprise and tries in vain to scoot away as Lady Tigre's topiary falls on top of her. As Lenore and several crows gather around the witness stand, Ria's paw shoots out of the scattered foliage, then falls limply in defeat.

* WildTake: Before her transformation, pulling down her hat over her face when she's nervous. After her transformation, she gets attacked by crows

* CreepyMortician: {{Downplayed}}. Her general personality is upbeat and not too distressing. However, her familiarity with corpses gives her a slight disadvantage when trying to interact with the living, coming off as a tad awkward.

* NoSocialSkills: She clearly has trouble around people, as seen when her jokes fall flat in the courtroom. Eric assumes himself that she "doesn't have much life outside of the lifeless."

* DeathByIrony: The nose ring she was so excited to be wearing ends up being the perfect conduit for her HighVoltageDeath.

* HighVoltageDeath: Slammed into a junction box by a moving car. At least, that's what the original assumption is. Her actual murder weapon was a car battery and jumper cables.

* WhoMurderedTheAsshole?: The list of people who weren't involved in attempts on his life is relatively short. That ''list'' being his own wife.
