Too Shy To Play

This picture is set before Raymond and Layla brought Rippla to Dream Land to meet Dedede. When Rippla was 5 years and just entered pre-school, she didn't play with the other children due to that her nightmare of being possessed by 0 has made her wary of strangers though she did actually want to play with other children. This brought up concerns from the teachers at the pre-school as well as Layla's. She never left Ripple Palace and she rarely smiled, even around her parents.
