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
Relationships:
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
