Riko (Made in Abyss) 3D model / VRChat Avatar

Riko, the silly cave raider known for her delicious yet questionable food, is now available for VRChat!

Update 4.2 adds the Blaze Reap artifact along with many improvements to Riko's model and new features to her VRChat version!

I'm pleased to present you with version 4.0, a near-complete remake emphasising quality and rigging for animation. Nearly everything was remade from scratch so please look at the Changelog below for more info!

This model has many fun features thanks to Avatar Dynamics! Light your way with Riko's headlamp or have your friends give you a nice head pat~ But don't let them pull on your hair because Riko might not like it~ Her clothes rustle and bob as she moves, and her outfit can be toggled to fit the situation.

Blaze Reap:

To use the Blaze Reap in VR, you can grab it from your back by moving your right hand over your left shoulder to the handle and use the "Fist" gesture. Alternatively, you can toggle it in the menu.

To place it back on your back, simply move your hand over your left shoulder and release the "Fist" gesture. The Blaze Reap will be back on your back~

There is also a toggle to Fold it up or Unfold like in the anime series with more features to come in future updates.
