"What an awfully sad light... As long as we are alive, it is impossible to avoid partings. If that is so, then perhaps it would be better if one did not meet others at all... Excuse me? No! It cannot be... Is it you...? It is you! Oh, I am so relieved. You were always by my side, and yet I never noticed..."

— Riddel

Riddel (リデル, Riddle) is the soft spoken and elegant daughter of General Viper in Chrono Cross.

Story

Raised by the General since birth and attended by a maid, Riddel grew up to be very meek and reserved; above all else, she valued those friends and family close to her. As a child, she often played with Dario and the other sons of the four Devas, including Glenn and Karsh. She was not to be left unattended, though this did not stop her from seeking out Bellflowers in Fossil Valley with Dario. As she grew older, her friendship with Dario matured into true affection, and the two entered a romantic relationship. In 1017 A.D., they were slated to marry, despite Karsh's secret admiration of her. To solidify the relationship, Dario gave Riddel his Memento Pendant, an heirloom passed down to him by his mother. These plans were tragically disrupted when Dario was killed at the Isle of the Damned. The event devastated Riddel, who, after that day, made regular trips to place Bellflowers at his grave. The event also caused much public pity and mourning for the woman by the people of Termina, who gave their condolences in respect of General Viper's magnanimous lordship. She never got over him, thinking of him each day for years after the event. Viper locked up the Memento Pendant in order to not remind Riddel of the tragedy.

In 1020 A.D., while out on a trip to his grave in Termina, Riddel met Serge for the first time. Later that night, she met him again under worse circumstances; Kid took her hostage in exchange for the escape of the party. Riddel was soon released, and stayed behind as the Acacia Dragoons went to Fort Dragonia to prepare for the defense of El Nido. After Lynx switched bodies with Serge, she was seized by the invading Porre force and held prisoner for information concerning the Frozen Flame and the whereabouts of the other Dragoons. She was almost tortured and killed by Orcha before Serge broke in and saved her; she thereafte returned to the S.S. Invincible and was reunited with the rest of her family and friends. After Dario wad discovered to be alive on Forbidden Island, her presence in front of him and the displaying of the Memento Pendant awoke his memories and also the evil within the Masamune, which claimed that it thirsted for Riddel's blood. Dario soon was defeated; Riddel immediately went to his side, noting that even they were from different dimensions, they were still the same people and loved one another. She eventaully suggested to him that the rebuilt Viper Manor should become an orphanage, and that she would watch over it with Dario.
