Santo Vaccarro
Rikku's boyfriend and total soulmate. They've been dating for so long that they are just a City staple now. One day they're going to run away to Vegas and elope. He is her other half, the person she can go to for anything. He makes her laugh, he holds her when she cries, and he's so damn romantic when he wants to be. She loves him like nobody's business and will cut anyone who messes with him. Rock penis forever.

Tony Stark
Rikku's employer and flirting buddy. She knows he's smarter than her, but will forever say that she is "the best engineer on this side of anywhere." She really loves working for him, and appreciates the job he gave her. Also the business trips to the tropics are nice now and then. She would probably do just about anything he asked, as long as he kept his hands to himself. One day, she will get to mess with the Iron Man suit. One day.

Booga
He is just one cool dude. She admires his work in giant robots and such, and thinks he's funny to boot. She doesn't really talk to him much, but she always keeps track of what he's up to in the City, just in case he does something totally awesome that she needs to get in on.

Julian Keller
Julian is one of Santo's friends, and Rikku absolutely loves trolling him. He reminds her so much of Gippal that it's almost uncanny for her. Other than that, he seems like a nice guy and she doesn't mind talking to him at all.

Raphael
One of the guys who's a regular worker at her garage. She got over his strange appearance easy enough, and thinks he's pretty cool. Besides the fact that he likes machina, he's funny and keeps her entertained at work. One day they'll eat pizza together.

Sanji
Sanji was there for Rikku when Santo got 'ported out, and she'll always be thankful for that. He's sweet and charming, and she greatly enjoys his company. And oh Shiva, does she love it when he cooks for her. She does indeed love a man who can cook. She feels bad that she's an off-limits girl to him (because don't kid yourself Sanji, she knows all about unresolved feelings), but is glad that they're still friends.
