Ria is a freak of nature. For a daydreaming, obsessive compulsive Star Wars geek, she looks pretty (uhm) normal. For a woman so svelte, her appetite can rival that of any man’s. For one who looks so composed, she can transform into a fiery little thing on stage. Seven years younger than the rest of Hastang, Ria is a ball of energy who not only sings, but plays piano and guitar as well.
