Let's not overstate things though: Melia may be ancient by human standards, but she's basically 18 for her own species. And Riki is superficially childish and comic relief. Dunban is the most mature of the cast, although as a whole none of the characters ever really act like teenagers (thankfully) outside Shulk's awkwardness with girls.

Melia: Still her character is influenced by it. For example, her mother is a hom and therefore she likely watched her mother die. 

Riki: He shows plenty of maturity throughout the story. 

But only when it is convenient for the plot of course :P

As a whole, Riki is a joke character.  That's kinda that point.

Yes, but in one cutscene in particular (Fallen Arm) it shows how much deeper than that he is. :)
