Ricken sat in Lon'qu's lap, and patiently waited while Lon'qu struggled over a word. Once the older man got a bit frustrated, Ricken piped up. "Hey, no need to rush okay? Just sound it out." He snuggled his brother a little and pointed to where Lon'qu was reading to help him stay on track. It seemed like his older brother struggled with keeping on the same line or on the same word, and Ricken figured that keeping track of it would help him a bit.

"Ricken. You have been like a younger brother to me. So I want to ask you something. I have this paper where the first five people who sign it will stay by my side for the rest of my life. Would you care to sign it?"

"S-sumia, I..." Ricken teared up and bit his lower lip to keep from crying. Grown ups don't cry, so he did everything he could to blink back tears. He nodded swiftly and fished a quill and ink out of his tent, signing his name on the paper with a flourish. "I-I'm so glad..." He sniffled and rubbed his eyes. "I'm so glad, Sumia." He wrapped his arms around her in the tightest hug he could manage, which was not very tight at all.

Ricken is like 13-14, but it's already pretty obvious he's not much of a romantic. As he gets older it'll become even more apparent that he's more of the type to go on silly dates or just hang out than going out somewhere, like going to the movies or going on a dinner date.

½ ☂ (/□＼*)・゜

½ = How the character feels about people taller or shorter than them

He's okay with people taller than him, but when someone is shorter than him he always puffs himself up just a little because holy heck I'm taller than someone.

☂ = Weather the character enjoys

Ricken really REALLY likes partially cloudy days, the sun's kind of dimmed and not as bright so it's good picnic weather.

(/□＼*)・゜ = What makes the character blush

Anything and everything, from getting angry to crying its really not that hard to get him to blush.

"Well, I really like birds, puppies, and cats! That's not to say I don't like snakes or lizards though, they're pretty cute too. I really don't have any pets that won't eventually be returned to the wild, except for one at home. He's a little snake and his name is Slithers."

27, 30, 42, 49

27. What is their biggest regret?

Never really fighting back against his bullies because they're nobility.

30.  Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

Ricken would hide himself away for a while just to think, and if approached he'd go from quiet to a loud angry outburst about how unfair it was and he'd just break down and start sobbing.

42.  Hobbies?

He's currently learning how to cook, and he knits! Mostly for his animal friends during the winter, but he could scale up the pattern to fit a human if he really wanted to.

49. If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?

Ricken would try NOT to get into a fist fight considering how physically weak he is, so he'd end up either running or going for areas that could immediately end a fight, like the crotch or something like that.

1, 12, 23, 34

1.  What does their bedroom look like?

Answered!

12. Favorite book genre?

He loves cute coming-of-age novels, but besides that he enjoys nonfiction books that are either animal or flower oriented; he tends to end up rereading the same encyclopedia type books over and over on those subjects.

23.  How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

Ricken is a decently organized person, but as I said before his desk is an absolute mess. He blames the fact that he's almost constantly using everything on his desk, so he never really gets a chance to put any of it away.

34.  Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?)

Despite how outgoing and friendly Ricken can be, he's a pretty private person. All issues and matter concerning him he keeps to himself, and nobody knows anything concerning him unless he really wants them to. He really just doesn't want to worry people too much.
