I could try to do a analysis of Riku tough.
At first glance Riku might seem to be that tough guy that beats everyone at anything and so on. He also doesn't slack of too much, always working towards a goal.
Something to note about him is that he doesn't like being constrained or hindered in any way. If he does something, he believes in that choice. A example of that is that he always wanted to get of the island that he played on and explore somewhere more exciting.
Riku is always in search of strength, not for his own good, but to protect the things that matter. At this area, he have pretty much no stop. If he had to climb down to hell and make a pact with the devil, he would do so. After he had done that, first then he would begin the journey out of hell.
He is at the beginning of the games shown to be a little bit too curious. Due to this and a few other things, tricking him can be quite easy.
Something that is worth mentioning is that he have good amount of pride. A few good examples of this is for example when he first learned that he was the Keyblade's chosen one, that when taking the form of Ansem, he his away because of how he looked, how he wanted to cleanse himself after using darkness so much, and much more.

You are certainly right about the fact that they are supposed to just be shadows Xehanort. The key word here is supposed tough.
