Rivet

Rivet is heroic, sassy, quick to act, and light-hearted, making witty jokes in tense situations. She often sacrifices her safety and comfort to protect others. Rivet has an unbroken spirit, continuing to stand up to Nefarious despite always losing. Because most people Rivet encounters work for Emperor Nefarious, she has few friends; this leads her to become somewhat socially awkward, but also means that she is very protective of the few friends she has, including the morts, and Clank after befriending him. Rivet attempts to cheer others up when they are down; however, her aforementioned awkwardness means this can be ineffective.

Rivet is a secret softie, and has an affection for animals, even if it is sometimes misplaced in her enemies, such as lava puffoids and robomutts, which she comments are "Kinda cute." She is a pragmatic thinker, believing that "Specific goals are achievable goals"; a mindset that drove her lifelong dream to operate a drill a hundred times bigger than herself. Some of her favorite foods include; Deep fried zanky, toads in a blanket, and flame-broiled sharkigator with a dash of zurp.

Rivet suffers from PTSD as a result of losing her arm and her past failures. Her experiences have left her to become suspicious of everyone she meets as a potential threat, with an additional prejudice toward robots, especially due to the pirates and the Emperor's followers. This led her to dismiss Clank's story as preposterous until she scanned his brain to confirm it was true. She later was grateful for being able to work with Clank, leading her to trust Kit at first to the point of opening up about her past. Although her friendship with Kit fell apart after learning how Kit was responsible for her arm, she eventually grew past her mistrust and resolved to become teammates with her.

Rivet has many similarities with Ratchet in being heroic, headstrong, and light-hearted, and their similarities lead them to at times say the same words as one another. Rivet's trust issues are a trait she does not share with Ratchet, who did not have the same experience as Kit. Because of this, while Ratchet was hesitant to find the lombaxes and nervous about giving up his life in his dimension,Rivet had no such skepticism and was confused by Ratchet's, eager at the idea as she had fewer close family to give up. Despite this, she was also nervous about meeting Ratchet initially.

Appearance: Rivet is a lombax with white fur with pigeon blue stripes, thin dark eyebrows, a small light pink nose, and light blue eyes. The fur on her forehead resembles a tuft of hair. She wears a pair of black goggles with blue lenses on her head, silver hoop earrings in each ear (two on the right and one on the left), a black and gray jumpsuit with a silver belt, an orange scarf, a black left glove with two orange stripes almost at the end, and black boots with an orange detail. She also has a yellow bionic right arm which she used to replace her real right arm that she had lost from Kit. Her official height is 150cm (4'11") and she weighs 40kg (88lb).

Unlike the only other known female lombax, Angela Cross, she has a bushy tail similar to that of a raccoon or a fox and noticeably different from those of Ratchet and Alister Azimuth, who both have tufted tails similar to that of a lion. This may be because Rivet is from a different dimension, giving her anatomical differences.
