If you have played The Last of Us, you have probably heard of Riley, as she was included in the game’s DLC Pack. Riley used to be Ellie’s close friend, as the DLC Content has shown. In the game, players have even seen a kissing scene between these two characters, so you can easily guess that Riley is not only a close friend of Ellie but also her love interest.
According to the Series on HBO, these two girls met at the military academy in Boston Quarantine Zone. Though their relationship started negatively, they eventually became friends.

However, sometime later, Riley comes back, and these two friends reunite. They shared their feeling with each other.
However, this happiness is momentary. Soon they are attacked by the Infected, and while running away from them, Ellies falls down, and Riley returns to help her. However, during this process, the Infected bite them, and they both get the Infection. Though these two girls decide not to suicide or kill each other, to wait for death, eventually, Ellie discovers that she is immune to this infection. So, the infection doesn’t affect her, but Riley is not immune, and she succumbs to death.
After Riley’s death, Ellie is rescued by the Fireflies, and from there, the story begins when Ellie meets Joel, and their journey starts.
