That's an understandable viewpoint for disliking Riven. To this, I would say we just disagree because I just got no problem with that. A character which defines themself by their past is a perfectly legitimate character flaw to me.

I'd also say Nasus' current disposition may be inconsistent as his background said his brother was just "treacherous" with egotistic delusion. That was retconned to Renekton being slowly corrupted and Nasus' background has not been updated.

Kassadin's also a bit inconsistent as he talks about balance and justice... and he makes a "null and void" pun.

And why would Lee Sin talk about being burned for several weeks when he did it entirely of his own free will? Mentioning about that a lot would just be boasting, so he doesn't seem like a good example to me.

Vayne would be a better example, I think, with her parents murdered... but she's constantly doing an outlet for her defining tragedy while Riven can't exactly go around demanding artillery be outlawed, Singed charged with war crimes, and all wars fought only with your own power and what you can hold.
