Who is Riley?
Riley Andersen is an 11-year-old-girl growing up in Minnesota, and life is good. She's got loving parents, great friends, awesome hockey teammates—and a staff of five personified emotions running the show from Headquarters in her head.
Joy leads a team of feelings
that also includes
Fear, Disgust, Anger, and Sadness.

Ready to meet the team and get a quick tour of her brain?
From behind their control panel in Riley's head, they manage everything Riley thinks, feels, and does, including her memories. Memories are manufactured on the spot and take the shape of color-coded orbs, each one colored according to the emotion that's associated with the experience.
Riley also has a set of Core Memories, each of which fuels part of her personality. Those parts of her personality are represented by islands, like Hockey Island and Family Island.
Riley's eyes are their windows to her world.
Just beyond Riley's Personality Islands is Long-Term Memory, row after towering row of memory orbs. Beneath the islands is the dark and treacherous Memory Dump, where memories go to fade away forever.
Here we go!
