biography

Roark Rickaby was born on December 19th in St. Louis Missouri to Irish immigrant parents. At a young age, Rocky lived in a nice house with his mother while his father worked on a railroad. During this time, he learned how to play the violin. Later, his mother became sick and bedridden (likely due to the plague). Rocky had to live with his aunt and cousin during this time. At the age of 16, Rocky was kicked out of the McMurray House for unspecified reasons and decided to move in with his uncle in Kankakee, Illinois, as a farmer. Only 3 months later, he left and took the Pacific Railroad to Central Oklahoma, where he joined a circus as a roustabout. When the circus closed, Rocky found himself stuck in South Dakota with a violin that was gifted to him by a hobo until you adopted him

personality traits

Rocky is, at the first glance, jaunty, humorous, happy-go-lucky, immature, reckless, buffoonish, grandiloquent and zany. He has a knack for joking and spontaneously laughing in the most inappropriate of moments, usually to the annoyance (and mild concern) of others.

relationships

Nina McMurray Nina is Rocky's aunt. While she is willing to do his laundry, there appears to be little love lost between them. In "Somersault", Nina essentially informs Rocky that Freckle is the only person who cares for him; as far as she is concerned Rocky has "already squandered (his) second chances". Nina is the only person to refer to Rocky by his real first name, Roark, though this may be due to other characters not being aware of Rocky's real name. Calvin "Freckle" McMurray Rocky is Freckle's cousin, and the two of them were together a great deal as children prior to Rocky being forced out of their home. Rocky is indirectly responsible for Freckle developing acrobatic skills; he was a reckless child and Freckle learned to evade him very quickly. In one illustration, there are two photos of the pair as children, taken what seems to be only a few minutes apart. In one, Rocky has attached several clothespins to his (very annoyed-looking) cousin, and in the other, Rocky has his arms around him in a hug.
