Riley Anderson and Valentina Ortiz

Valentina "Val" Ortiz is a character from Inside Out 2. She is a high school hockey player, the captain of the Firehawks, and the popular girl in school whom everyone, including Riley and her friends, admires.

Background Physical appearance Val is a Cuban-Mexican girl with tanned skin, brown eyes, and wavy, dark brown hair with some red streaks. Her usual outfit consists of a loose-fitting, long-sleeved blue shirt, unevenly rolled over her right shoulder, revealing a black belt with a gray stripe along the outer edge. She also wears long, unevenly rolled black sandals, gray, black, white, and pink tennis shoes, and red eyeshadow. In addition, she wears a gold necklace with her name on the front, gold earrings in both lower ears, and gold piercings in her upper right ear. When on the ice, she wears her hockey camp T-shirt uniform with her hair pulled back in a low ponytail and no makeup. She is 18 years old.

Background Personality Riley is generally a curious, intelligent, and likable girl with a passion for hockey. Riley's emotions contribute to her main behaviors in the film. For much of her childhood, she was a very cheerful, playful, joking, and even somewhat clumsy prankster. However, as a teenager, Riley becomes more sentimental, shy, and unsure of herself as her other emotions begin to change. When her family moves to San Francisco, she begins to feel more worried, upset, and alone. Her emotions at this point attempt to help her adjust to her new life. Riley may doubt herself, but she doesn't always regret her actions.

Riley really misses Minnesota and can't cope with the transition. However, Riley is afraid to tell her parents her true feelings because they want her to accept the new home and because she has always been their "happy little girl."

However, as time passes, Riley becomes emotionally vulnerable, enters a sort of numb state of mind, and reaches the point where she attempts to run away, almost losing herself in the process. But it is here that she realizes that she had almost given up on the things that matter most to her in life and realizes the risk just in time. Upon returning home and admitting to her parents that she is very depressed, she learns to accept San Francisco as her parents comfort her over the personal loss, and Riley (with the guidance of her emotions) eventually adjusts to her new home in San Francisco. APPEARANCE She has very faint freckles around her nose and also has a noticeable gap between her two front teeth. Riley has a wide nose like both of her parents, although hers is a bit round. Her hair has a small fringe that points to the right. In the second film, when she is now thirteen, her hair becomes lighter blonde and has grown longer, and she pulls it back in a ponytail.
