Rikki's original version (drawn 10 years ago)
Rikki is blue mongoose with a small segment of lighter blue hair, muzzle, and tummy/chest. He also has light blue on the bottoms of his paws. His eyes are cyan colored and he has a tiny magenta-red nose. He has dark blue stripes on his back. The inside coloring of his ears is very dark blue. As a child, he is affectionate, curious, playful, shy, and timid. As an adult, he is calm, less timid and shy, romantic, flirtatious, and also playful. He loves magic tricks like his parents and does them like his father. He has a father Sunil, a mother Daisy, an uncle Shahrukh, an aunt Rose, grandfathers Peter Nevla and Linus Naram, grandmothers Sunna Nevla and Sheila Naram, great-grandfathers Sanjay Nevla and Ranjit Parvakh, great-grandmother Randa Parvakh, great-great-grandfathers Jimmy Parvakh and Sunil Gupta, great-great-grandmothers Preeti Parvakh and Shreya Gupta, great-great-great-grandfather Harun Parvakh, great-great-great-grandmother Prisha Parvakh, and several younger brothers and sisters. He was born on the island like his mother. Since childhood, he has been friends with the hedgehog Adiboo Ferguson, the gecko Buddy Terrio, the dog Clover Butler, the monkey Poppy Brown, the panda Aurora Chen, the skunk Irma Pharaoh, and a human Paige Sharp
Adiboo Ferguson: A very good friend, but sometimes finds him a bore
Buddy Terrio: Best friend since early childhood and loves spending time with him, can sometimes quarrel with him, almost always tolerates his stupidity and low intelligence
Clover Butler: He'd been in love with her since early childhood. He dated her as a teenager, and Clover ended up having two children with him and then left him for another guy
Poppy Brown: Has a good relationship with her, but sometimes can't stand her hyperactivity
Aurora Chen: A very good friend from whom he can ask for advice and support
Irma Pharaoh: Ricky was in love with her too, but not as much as Clover. He only dated her because Clover had left him for another guy. But his relationship with Irma also ended with her giving birth to two children from him and leaving for another guy
Rita Aaron: His love forever. Even though he is happy with her after ending his romantic relationships with Clover and Irma, Rikki still loves Clover the most, and Rita understands this and is not jealous of it
Paige Sharp: Has a good relationship with her, loves her like her owner, and sometimes asks for affection
1) His name is a reference to the character of the same name from Joseph Rudyard Kipling's short story of the same name
2) In the original version, he was a yellow mongoose with blue eyes due to the character's author's poor knowledge of genetics
3) Also, in the original version, Rikki was the main character during the arc when the pets became parents
4) His adulthood is a reference to Luka Couffaine from "Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir"
5) Rikki and Clover's romantic relationship is a reference to Luka and Marinette Dupain-Cheng
6) Also, the romantic relationship between Rikki and Clover is a reference to the shipp Sunil x Zoe (also with the romantic relationship between Rikki and Irma is a reference to the shipp Sunil x Pepper)
7) The friendship between Rikki and Buddy is similar to the friendship between their fathers because Sunil and Vinnie were determined that their children would be best friends just like them
8) In the original version, Rikki only had a romantic relationship with Orm and Pepper's daughter
9) Although Rikki may be cowardly like his father, he is mostly brave like his ancestor Ranjit and his "prototype"
10) Rikki can sometimes playfully tease and taunt his father, just like his mother sometimes does
11) Rikki is the first child to follow in Sunil's footsteps
12) Rikki has been attached to Sunil since birth, just like babies mongooses do when choosing nannies in real life
13) Rikki doesn't feel jealous of his exes' boyfriends at all, especially Clover
14) The reason why Rikki's and Clover's/Irma's romantic relationship ends is because they are different species
15) Since birth, Rikki loves it when Sunil sings him Indian lullabies and tells him stories from his life before going to bed, just like Randa did to Sunil when he was little
