Editing Bonesaw (section)

==Personality==
<tabber>As Bonesaw=
Riley once was a little girl who dearly loved her family. When Jack and the Nine came to her house, killed her family, and caused her to [[trigger]], Riley was buried away, masked under the persona of Bonesaw to cope with her situation. From then on forward, Bonesaw's mind developed alongside her [[passenger]], which, alongside Jack's influence, would cause drastic changes in her personality.<ref name="I25" />

Childish and carefree, Bonesaw lacks any aversion to murder and gruesome torture, taking delight in her victims' suffering. She is fixated on the idea of being a "good girl", constantly affecting a cheerful, happy-go-lucky demeanor even while torturing her victims. She has an aversion to swearing, never cursing herself and chastising others for doing so.<ref>Her mother’s final words rang through Riley’s head, the last words she’d before she had become a machine that had stopped working.<br><br>''Be a good girl''.<br><br>She’d be good. She’d be polite and cheerful and she’d do her chores and she would mind her manners and she’d eat all of her dinner and she’d keep her hair nice and she wouldn’t swear and… - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/interlude-25/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref>

Bonesaw constantly craves love from the Nine, who she considers her "family". She has nightmares about her trigger event if she sleeps without being held by one of her older teammates, usually the [[Siberian]].<ref>Bonesaw wanted a family. Her stick was disapproval, a revoking of any ‘love’ from those closest to her. She was far younger, emotionally, than her outward appearance suggested. She had bad dreams at night if she didn’t sleep in the embrace of one of her older teammates, usually Siberian. When she didn’t sleep, or when her mood otherwise soured, she was as intolerable as any of the others, and among the most dangerous. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/interlude-12/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 12]]</ref> Bonesaw most especially seeks to please [[Jack Slash]], who is her mentor of sorts, teaching her to see her gruesome creations and torture methods as a sort of "art". She tirelessly pursues innovation in her art, looking for inspiration and new, creative ways to make others suffer.<ref>Most days, if snuggling didn’t quite cut it, Jack would keep her busy, give her something to do, and entertain her. Always, his voice in her ear, always ushering her forwards, praising her for being a good girl, for her art, for her talent. Others were interested. Her family. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/interlude-25/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref> When in a bad mood, she is one of the most dangerous of the Nine.<ref>Bonesaw wanted a family.

|-|As Riley=
Riley's return came about after [[Contessa]] approached her, telling her a few crucial words that allowed her to begin to realize her situation. Her conscience slowly and painfully returned in the lack of distractions to occupy herself with, and she began to realize that her passenger had been subsuming her personality from the day she had triggered. With the revelation, she resolved to become Riley once more, willing to even betray the Nine to do so.<ref name="I25" />

As Riley, she is no longer as happy-go-lucky, as she no longer can embroil herself into a carefree façade. She is unable to fully regret the things she's done as Bonesaw, but recognizes that she should, and knows something is wrong since she doesn't.<ref>No. She wouldn’t say she felt guilty about the things she’d done, but she recognized that she was broken, now. She recognized that maybe she ''should''.<br><br>A part of her wished she could reach inside and find that carefree perspective, the ''innocence'' she’d enjoyed. Another part of her was glad. Everything about herself was modifiable, reversible, pliable. Pieces in the machine. But this? She wasn’t sure she could alter it, nor that she wanted to.<br><br>This wouldn’t be a penance. That would suggest penitence. But it’d be ''just'', as best as she could figure. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/interlude-25/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref> She no longer has an aversion to swearing, and swears herself at times.<ref>“Be ''fucking'' good, Eli,” she retorted, staring at him. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/interlude-25/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref> While not fully divorced from her life as Bonesaw, sometimes acting borderline sociopathic, she is aware of her faults, and works hard to develop herself as an individual separate from her passenger.<ref name="I25" />

In later years, Riley is rather upfront about being unable to fully relate to other people. Her social skills have been severely stunted from her time in the Nine and her passenger's influence.<ref>She held her hand off to the side, and let the scalpel fall. “I won’t know what I did wrong until you tell me. Some people can put those pieces together, but I can’t.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/28/eclipse-x-3/ Excerpt] from [[Eclipse x.3]]</ref>

===Relationships===
Bonesaw has an obsession with building a "family" in the Nine to replace the one she lost. This influences her choices when nominating people for membership.

====[[Jack Slash]]====
Saw Jack as a mentor and a father figure of sorts, but also feared him intensely. She thought of him as very intelligent and all knowing, and constantly tried to gain his approval. She felt a sort of confusion and rebellion towards him when she began reverting into Riley once more.<ref name="I25" />

====[[Siberian]]====
Saw Siberian as the older sister or family pet, while Siberian saw Bonesaw as a daughter. Siberian was often the one to sleep with Bonesaw, as she had nightmares, and often accompanied Bonesaw when going out to protect her from threats. Siberian hated the idea of losing Bonesaw, and retaliated violently against threats to the girl.<ref>Siberian was tricky. He doubted anyone else in the group was even aware, but their most feral member harbored a fondness for Bonesaw. Siberian had little imagination, and was perfectly comfortable rehashing the same violent and visceral scenarios time and again, but she nonetheless enjoyed Bonesaw’s work. She saw a kind of beauty in it. Even more than that, he sometimes wondered if Siberian didn’t reciprocate Bonesaw’s desire for family. Bonesaw alternately referred to Siberian as an older sister or the family pet, but Siberian’s fondness for Bonesaw bordered on the maternal, like a mother bear for her cub. Did anyone else in the group note how Siberian seemed to keep Bonesaw’s company, to assume she would accompany the young girl when she went out, and carefully kept Bonesaw in sight at all times?<br><br>Siberian’s stick was Bonesaw, the possibility of losing the girl’s company in one way, shape, or form. Threats against the girl would be met with a fury like no other. Boredom, similarly, would see Siberian stalking off on her own to amuse herself, a scenario that grounded the group until Siberian’s return hours or days later. Such usually meant a hasty retreat as the heroes who had realized that they could not defeat Siberian came after the rest of the group. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/24 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 12]]</ref>

====[[Mannequin]]====
Often collaborated with her fellow tinker, such as when they disassembled [[Grue]] and hooked up his organs to an entire room, sustaining his body through Mannequin's life-preserving technology.<ref name=TR>It was some sort of collaboration between Bonesaw and Mannequin. He’d been partially flayed, the skin stripped from his arms and legs and stretched over the walls around him. His ribcage had been opened, splayed apart. An improvised metal frame held each of his internal organs in place, some several feet from their intended position, as if they were held out for display, others placed on the shelves of the freezer. Cases covered in a ceramic shell seemed to be pumping him full of water, nutrients and other fluids that must have been helping keep him alive. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/21 Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.8]]</ref> She also used Mannequin's technology to preserve [[Cherish]] under the waters of Brockton Bay, which would keep her alive for thousands of years to come.<ref name="20.3 c2">She’s hooked up to the same systems that keep Mannequin going. Chances are strong she’ll live for a few thousand years. Maybe ten or twenty thousand, depending on the degree of wear from tides. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/chrysalis-20-3/#comment-14702 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Chrysalis 20.3]]</ref> 

====[[Panacea]]====
Was highly interested in Panacea due to their similar powers over biology. She saw an opportunity for Panacea to become her older sister, collaborating together to create amazing projects of flesh and bone. Panacea did not reciprocate this feeling, disgusted by the idea.<ref name="I11h" />
