History: Here’s a wiki page!

Personality: First of all (as his name implies) the Riku Replica is basically a clone of an existing person, and a good chunk of his personality comes from that person as a result. However, while he and the original Riku are very similar, they do still act distinctly different, primarily due to some memory tampering and generally traumatic events.

In the beginning, he’s confident to the point of arrogance, stubborn and aggressive. He knows that he’s a clone and generally why he exists in the first place, but it doesn’t seem to hinder his ability to taunt anyone he thinks is weaker than him...which is just about everyone until they demonstrate otherwise. However, he gets highly defensive if someone else mentions that fact, and is quick to reassure them (and possibly himself in the process) that it doesn’t matter to him. He demonstrates this very quickly, meeting the real Riku before anyone else in the castle besides the Organization members.

When he confronts Riku the first time, he differentiates himself between them by boasting that while Riku fears darkness and is reluctant to use it, he doesn't fear it at all and wields it freely, thus making him already stronger. However, it’s entirely possible that at this point, he doesn’t actually understand what wielding darkness fully entails and just considers that Riku fears something that he doesn’t and that’s automatically a weakness.

He has his memories tampered with by Naminé soon after this meeting, changing him for the first time. He forgets that he's a clone, ridding himself of that anger trigger temporarily and also 'remembering' Naminé, who he had really just met. He becomes very loyal to and protective of her and hostile to anyone who seems to be a threat. This includes Sora, who becomes a high-threat target in the Replica's mind, despite merely being a person of interest before.

As a result of this, the Replica fights Sora several times, getting beaten and retreating each time. Unfortunately for Sora, he's a sore loser, much like Riku, but has absolutely no qualms about fighting dirty. He attempts to finish Sora when he's down after one of their fights, prompting Naminé to take action and knock him out with her version of a heart attack, which supposedly removes the fake memories she gave him. Later, it’s shown that this isn’t the case, because...

...While it ‘reveals’ to him what he actually is, he doesn’t completely forget the manufactured memories. He still feels the same way towards Naminé, wanting to stay by her side and protect her despite what she had done, but also doesn't resent Sora, since Sora isn’t considered much of a threat anymore. In fact, after being soundly beaten by the Sora-Naminé doubleteam, he gains a lot of respect for Sora, though he doesn’t feel he has a right to be Sora’s friend anymore considering how he’s acted.

The Replica’s final personality is a bit confused and fragmented. Most of the time, he’ll act much like Riku--cool and confident with a side of slightly awkward--because that's what he knows and what feels most comfortable for him. They're also similar in that they're both fairly impulsive, but the Replica tends to act on said impulses much more often. Unlike Riku, he still has a much shorter temper and more aggression than the original and his confidence in himself more easily lost. He’s very possessive of things he deems ‘his’--clothes, food, random trinkets, friends--and is entirely likely to start a fight if he feels said things are in danger of leaving him.

At his current canonpoint, he despises Riku. He's tried and failed to kill him multiple times and gone all in on a final attempt, which also failed, so he's extremely bitter about the whole thing and is determined to win on their next rematch somehow.
