James P. Sullivan
James P. Sullivan (or better knows as James or Sulley) is Riley's Ex Fiancé, former scarer turned CEO of Monsters, Inc. and the best friend of Mike Wazowski.



Riley and James first met in January of 1986, during their senior year. James had arrived by via bus from Sludge Falls, to partake in the Scare Major at MU. Riley, whom already signed up for Art, Drama and Fitness, already had her collage life set out for her. Though, it wouldn't take long before they would cross paths.

Sulley, now 18 later when he and Riley graduated, proposes and promises they will marry after they graduate from MU. Later, after dating for a year and 9 months, Riley ended her engagement/relationship with Sulley after he never tried to catch up with her. He fights for her, even going as far as cheating in the Scare Games to win her back.

Though after she graduates from MU, she calls off her relationship with Johnny, after still being in love with James. They leave on good terms and hope to keep in touch. She gets assigned to be a special Alumni beside her sister and uncle, getting a special floor dubbed the “Alumni Quarter”.

Some time before Monsters United: Incorporated, she and James have broken up, ending their engagement for good.

Johnny Worthington


Johnny is Riley's childhood friend then slowly became her romantic interest that was built on friendship and hidden romantic feelings. Their high school friends would insist to date, but they knew that their relationship would be ruined if they dated. Riley sooner realized she was witnessing romantic feelings toward him, but strongly denied her growing feelings for Johnny.

She first met Johnny back when she was 7 at Monsters, Inc., then the 2 grew close and over time became inseparable till he went off to collage. She regrets not being able to come forward with her feelings, instead watches Johnny drive away. Over the next season till season 2's finale, the 2 begin dating, thus them becoming official.

Though, when Johnny asks if it's true she never really broke it off with Sullivan, she replies yes, which both hurts and angers Johnny. He tries shrugging it off, and asks what she really wants in her future, which is to be with James.

They remain friends and Riley sets off to Monsters Inc, to become a Scare Alumni.

Tylor Tuskmon
Tylor Tuskmon" is Riley's Fiancé, and a Jokester at Monsters, Inc.



Riley and Tylor, though never officially meeting, they bumped into each other in between classes during her sophomore year and his freshman year

Tylor and Riley would eventually meet in a coffee shop while in his Senior year in college, and she had returned from seeing family in the human world (something Tylor didn't know). They instantly became romantic, her helping him to pass his studies in the Scaring program, which she knew all about from her experience when she was in college.

Eventually, their romance developed into a long-lasting relationship fast after they went on 3 dates spanning a month, the last date of which that initiated they're relationship further. Now dating however, Riley has a reputation to keep up as the Universities famous top Scare Alumni, a role she takes seriously yet graduated last year.

Tylor and Riley during their time at MU where claimed "cutest couple on campus", something they both agreed on, yet having disagreements, they love each other very much.

After he graduates, he gifts her a special necklace, one she wears before and during Monsters United: Adventures.

After Tylor is assigned as a Mechanic on the M.I.F.T, Riley decides to give up her famous role as a Scare Alumni, for becoming a part of the M.I.F.T beside her boyfriend, since scaring has now become obsolete, putting her out of her original purpose at MI. However, they remain close when on and off work hours, always finding ways to make their time together enjoyable and worthwhile.

Though seen from afar as a "picture perfect couple", they have shown to have issues with one another, their flaws creates an argument, or they simply bicker about something that annoys one or the other. Though both persistent with each other, they sometimes have arguments that lead to them distancing themselves from one another, which turns into them becoming vulnerable without one another, shown when Tylor and Riley have a fight some time before he graduated, resulting in them not talking for 2 days before making amends and resuming their relationship, like nothing ever happened.

Though dealing with trust issues after her breakup with Sulley, Riley cares deeply for Tylor and will do almost all she can to make him happy, examples of this are either her consoling him or she simply supports him through the endeavour, till he can feel better on his own. Tylor has the same nature, always being supportive of Riley through hard times and when her trust issues become apparent, something he takes seriously, as she has been severely hurt by her previous partner.

How Tylor deals with her trust issues is simply giving her space or letting her explain herself without making up excuses, something she is prone to doing just so she doesn't say the wrong reason, thus hurting her partner accidentally. Though, it's hard to hurt Tylor, as he knows she doesn't mean anything she says. He knows, and is aware, that she is severely vulnerable to her true feelings, and hates having Tylor see her that way.

In Episode 10, after Tylor becomes an official Jokester, Riley proposes to him, something that takes Tylor by surprise. She eventually moves forward from her issues and feels happier to be re-engaged.

= Enemies =

Randall
Randall is Riley's trusty long-time best friend and Alumni member of both the Scare Program and Scare Games. They met after Mike joined Oozma Kappa, leaving Randall to a new roommate. Once knowing his Roommate is a female and one that a lot different from any other ordinary monster on campus, the 2 become close immediately and attend their classes tight together like they were siblings.

Though the two were close, their friendship eventually turned into a rivalry after Riley sided with Sulley (something up to now she regrets), marking the termination of their close relationship. After he is banished however, she shows great dismay and wishes if she had stopped him, wouldn't they have made amends and be friends again. Though, after hearing about her cousin being involved, she shows great anger toward Randall abd his actions.
