Ok this is the second part of the Riri series. These are from the Cartoon Marvel Rising She actually has some amazing foot shots in this series as you'll see below. :-)
Plus one animation. :-D
A couple of alternate and extended gifs are available here.

Riri debuts in the fourth special for the Marvel Rising series Heart of Iron. She depicted as a student who creates her own Iron Man outfit in order to become a hero. Due to her genius intellect she attracts the attention of heroes and villains in the series.
Marvel did a really good job of adapting Riri for this series. I would even go so far as to say that it seems like her background is a little bit more developed than her comic book incarnation. We wind up getting to know her better as she interacts with the other Marvel Rising characters. We get a sense of her personality as well as why she wants to become a heroine. This version of Riri had to sacrifice friendships in order to dive into developing her Iron Man armor and as result is withdrawn and prefers interacting with machines. She winds up helping the other Marvel Rising heroes stop a villain's attack becoming a valuable member of their team and making a new set of friends in the process.
In general, I like this version of Riri a lot. My only criticism with this depiction of her is that she comes off a little bit stiff. This might be an intentional choice on her actresses' part to show her as withdrawn but it makes some of emotional moments involving her less compelling than they could have been. Compared with some of the livelier Marvel Rising characters... Riri seem a little dryer. She is still really cool though and I enjoyed seeing her on screen.
Ok guys. That's all for today. As always though... more to come soon!
