*Riya Sharma was a contestant and the main antagonist for the second half of Disventure Camp 2 as a member of the Green Team. She returned as a contestant and the main antagonist for the second half of Disventure Camp: All-Stars as a member of the Yellow Team.

Riya is an Indian woman that has black eyes and long dark brown hair that she wears in a ponytail. In Season 2, she wears a yellow dress with a red jacket over it and red sandals. According to an official post, Riya is 5'8/1.77cm tall.

Her main outfit becomes more elaborate in Disventure Camp: All-Stars, and she now sports a yellow tube top, a dark brown alpaca fur coat and red Capri pants. She also wears large gold-framed cat-eye sunglasses with burgundy lenses on her head, a pearl necklace, several gold bracelets and dark reddish brown mid-calf boots. Her ponytail is also now held by a gold hair tie.

Upon first arriving at Camp Tipiskaw, Riya is initially a friendly and demure woman who is focused on expanding her acting career. She is shown getting along well with people such as Connor and Rosa María, and is disapproving of Yul's antics. However, after she reaches the merge, the prospect of fame and fortune causes her to take on a more competitive and cutthroat edge. She then goes on to double cross her closest allies one-by-one in order to advance herself in the game. By Rotten Fruit, Riya's personality has drastically changed for the worse; she has completely lost all regard for the lives of the people around her, possibly forever, and only cares about winning the money and furthering her career. In Money, Fame and Shame - Part 1, she is ruthless enough to leave Aiden hanging for his life on the edge of a cliff. In Money, Fame and Shame - Part 2 she has a change of heart after being talked down to by her former friends.

However, this would later seem to amount to almost nothing in Disventure Camp: All-Stars. After discovering newfound fame in network dramas and being dubbed "The Villainess of TV" by the internet, Riya becomes egotistical and mean once again as she is seen callously mocking the other contestants in the premiere. However, as revealed by Connor in Gone Buck Wild!, this seems to only be a persona that Riya puts on for the cameras, as she still has her kind and caring side when she's alone with Connor when the cameras are off (although she betrays him to stay with the villains' alliance in Strike a Chord). As seen in Sandbag Sabotage and The Turbulent Triathlon, she is also willing to back-stab her own alliance members for her personal benefit. Later in the season, Riya's guilt begins to weigh on her, as she appears rather nervous and distraught from the cameras' pressure to always play her "villain role" perfectly. She shares a heartfelt moment with Alec, as well as confirming what she feels for Connor when a lie detector came into play. In "Like a Dark Horse", Riya receives a letter from her little sister, Eesha, who also wishes to pursue acting. Riya does not want this for her, as she finds Hollywood to not be for everyone. Despite this, Riya's stubbornness to cling to her own acting job as well as her willingness to stoop to any level in order to win the competition seems to have led her down a lonely and self-destructive path. Though "Put to the Sword" ends with her victory, Riya would realize too late that everyone hates her and wants nothing to do with her, including Connor, where she ends up miserable and alone, crying after seeing everyone else fulfill happier lives.*
