Riina is an [[Elantrian]] and [[Awakener]]. Riina is also capable of using [[AonDor]] in order to grant '''curses''' to others.{{book ref|tress|5}}{{book ref|tress|13}} They are formed through long strands of Aons, which can be seen wrapping around the cursed, lining up with Aon Equations;{{book ref|tress|64}}{{wob ref|1938}}{{wob ref|15860}} the person given the curse is aware as to what the stipulations of the curse are.{{book ref|tress|24}} When placed upon someone a requirement is made to break the curse, other than meeting this requirement there is no way to break the curse, not even Riina herself can achieve this. The curse itself however can be altered by other Elantrians.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}} An aspect of the curse is always consistent which is that the cursed individual cannot discuss the curse with others; any attempt to do so leads to them stuttering.{{book ref|tress|24}} The curses are flawed, however, in that since they cannot be changed, they can be manipulated if one finds a way to do so that Riina failed to prevent.{{book ref|tress|29}} One way to do so is by identifying what an individual cannot talk about. This indirectly reveals aspects of their curse.{{book ref|tress|42}}
She is possibly capable of
Other beings in the Cosmere also fear Riina, one of which is the [[dragon]] [[Xisisrefliel]] who considers imprisoning people to be a mercy when the alternative is for them to face the Sorceress. He himself fears to confront her.{{book ref|tress|52}}
For the next few months, Riina would largely ignore the outside world and focus solely on the activities of Hoid and Charlie on the planet. At some stage she managed to hack into [[Fort]]'s translation device allowing her to see and hear what he did. This served as an easy way for her to keep tabs on the crew of the ''[[Crow's Song]]'' and Hoid himself.{{book ref|tress|60}} Hoid speculates that it was around this time she grew worried that he might actually make good on his bet and so began work to sabotage him further.{{book ref|tress|61}} Eventually, by happenstance, both Charlie and Tress arrived on the boat and Riina was able to keep tabs on them as well.{{book ref|tress|60}}{{book ref|tress|13}} She watched Tress' journey to the midnight sea, and eventual capture by the Sorceress' midnight essence.{{book ref|tress|59}}
Upon arriving, Tress attempted to barter for Charlie. Riina played along, attempting to pass one of her spies off as Charlie using [[lightweaving]]. Tress was about to leave the tower with the fake Charlie when she realized the ruse and turned back to confront Riina, who then explained the full details of Charlie's curse to Tress.{{book ref|tress|61}} While having this conversation with the pair, she failed to notice the crew of the ''Crow's Song'' arriving at the island. Riina became distracted attending the defense of her island, giving Tress and Charlie the opportunity to use her computer to communicate with Fort and [[Salay]]. During their conversation, Tress realized the nature of Hoid's curse. Knowing that Hoid's curse would be broken if he reached the tower and that he could potentially defeat the Sorceress, she instructed Salay, Fort, and [[Ann]] to bring Hoid with them to the tower.{{book ref|tress|62}} During all of this, Charlie had been trying to reach the door of the tower, but the Sorceress' cat, Lacy, had been making that impossible. As Salay, Fort, Ann, and Hoid finally arrived at the base of the tower, he told Tress to distract the sorceress as he made a last ditch effort. Tress did distract the Sorceress, and the Sorceress began to prepare a curse for Tress using AonDor. Just as the curse was about to transform Tress, Hoid burst into the tower and blocked it with his own AonDor spell. After a brief conversation, Riina offered to let the crew leave the island. Tress refused and instead demanded Riina herself leave the planet for her crimes against the inhabitants of Lumar. Riina dismissed this threat until Tress ordered Hoid to help and he indicated that he would. Riina weighed her odds and decided to comply with Tress' order. After Tress and the crew left, she departed the planet in her tower, which was also a spaceship.{{book ref|Tress|64}}
