* JobsOnlyVolunteer: Discussed. Riley became the captain of the Tigers because no one else wanted the job. She's determined to be the best cheer captain ever, but is well aware that no one takes her or her ambitious for the squad seriously, and that the Tigers are widely considered to be the worst cheer squad in the area. Riley is far from the least competent of the team, but the Tigers are such a mess of infighting, drug abuse, insecurity, and sabotage that it reflects poorly on her abilities as a leader.
