Riju is the Chieftainess of the [[Gerudo]], having inherited the position after her mother passed away. Though she is considerably young for a chief, she is respected by her people. Following the line of succession, she is a direct descendant of [[Urbosa]]. She helps [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] defeat the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Naboris]] after he retrieves the [[Thunder Helm]] from the [[Yiga Clan Hideout]]. She is very fond of [[Sand Seal]]s, and has her own named [[Patricia]]. Her bedroom also contains three Sand Seal plush dolls. [[Buliara]] is her personal body guard and is extremely protective of her.{{ref|''Breath of the Wild''|[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''|Even now, with such a valuable heirloom stolen by thieves, she refuses to tear herself way from me for even a moment.|Riju's Diary}}

Riju is on her throne during the day, but when the sun sets, she goes into her room to play with her plush sand seals.{{ref|''Breath of the Wild''|Wh-What?! The sand-seal stuffed animals? Don't worry about them! Just... Just ignore them, OK? Besides, town hero or no, you shouldn't just come wandering into someone's room at this time of night!|Riju}}

In the [[Air and Lightning]] Scenario, Riju and Patricia burst out of the Gate of Time and ram into Thunderblight Ganon when it was about to kill Urbosa. When questioned by the Gerudo Champion about her sudden presence,{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|Where did you...?|Urbosa}} Riju simply tells her to stay focused on the fight for now.{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|Lady Urbosa...For now, let us focus on winning this fight.|Riju}} Thunderblight Ganon's speed began to overwhelm them,{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|Vile creature! How is it moving like that?|Urbosa}} as Riju chastises herself for thinking she was strong enough to protect her.{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|I thought...I was strong enough to protect you.|Riju}} Urbosa assures Riju that the least she did was buy enough time for help to arrive as Link and his friends appear,{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|Listen. You bought us much-needed time. Now look who's come to help.|Urbosa}} and they managed to slay Thunderblight Ganon, saving Urbosa, Riju, and Divine Beast Vah Naboris. Urbosa is too tired to join them, and she uses Naboris's lightning power to strike the top of Mt. Rhoam to release an updraft, while Riju joins Link's so they can reach Vah Medoh to save Revali and Teba from Windblight Ganon. After the battle, Urbosa and Riju board Vah Medoh as the former thanks Princess Zelda for helping them out earlier. She also thanks Riju for saving her life earlier,{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|Now then... First, I owe you my gratitude. Thank you for your help. Truly. And second... Riju, you said? We could not have prevailed without your aid.|Urbosa}} while Riju politely refuses to take credit and states that they fought as one.{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|I-I would not presume to take credit. We-all of us- fought as one.|Riju}} After Teba saw how abrasive Revali was to Link and was about to comment on it before Urbosa cuts him off before asking Princess Zelda on Hyrule Castle's fate.{{Ref|[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]|Hold that thought for now. Little bird, please tell us what happened at the castle.|Urbosa}}

In the secret DLC ending, Riju and Urbosa are seen sand seal surfing together through the desert night and having a great time, and they are later seen with the present and future Champions as Terrako amuses them.
