Look at the smiling little baby!
I keep coming back to this one. I suppose I'm simply not getting it.... But it says that risueño is a masculine noun. But in the given example (from the bot), and in some of the other examples given by users, it seems to be used as an adjective. Am I missing something in the construct of the grammar?

And, if it IS sometimes used as an adjective (???), then is it one that would change the ending depending on the word it's modifying ... así: risueño o risueña ?????

It is an adjective, not a noun. I've found Princesa risueña for example.
