Riley Curry, daughter of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, became an overnight internet sensation during the 2015 NBA Playoffs. While her father addressed the media, the then-two-year-old stole the spotlight by making funny faces, waving to reporters, and crawling under the press conference table. The footage went viral, turning Riley into a symbol of 'main character energy' and relatable toddler antics. Today, the meme is widely used to represent moments of unearned confidence, being the center of attention, or simply being the real star of the show while others are trying to work.
