Richie Doe

Basic Information
Current Date: 1968

Age: 5

Physical Appearance
Richie has tan skin and straw blonde hair, cropped close to his head, with round brown eyes and a small gap between his front teeth. He's slightly small for his age, but not alarmingly so, and is often wearing loose shorts and a plain tee shirt, not enjoying the restriction of tight clothing. He often also removes his shoes whenever possible, preferring to be without them.

Background
Richie's single father was killed in an accident at his workplace when Richie was four years old, and he was placed in an orphanage, where they tended to unknowingly mistreat him, due to his habit of dong things socially unacceptable or odd, as a result of undiagnosed mild autism. When Chopper Knivesbane visited the orphanage, where he also grew up, Richie latched onto Jane Doe, who had traveled with him. He did this because of his father, who taught him that if he needed help, to find a man who was in uniform, which Jane always wore. Upon finding out what was going on, Jane took Richie back to New Mexico with him. Unfortunately, Jane was not mentally stable enough to care for him, and he fell into a depression, which he managed to successfully hide from Richie's knowledge. Richie currently lives in Colorado with Jane's girlfriend, Zhanna Petrov, while Jane heals further and is able to take care of him again. Richie doesn't mind this, as he enjoys living with Zhanna very much, and is much more comfortable speaking small snippets of the Russian she's taught him, rather than English.

Personality
Richie is relatively quiet, not speaking unless he fully needs to, not out of distrust, but just out of preference. He's often crouched down on the floor, enjoying to play there much more than at the table, and is occasionally let eat there too, as Zhanna sees no harm in it. He enjoys feeling over the texture of things, and being in the grass is one of his favorite sensations, so you'll usually find him playing outside, or sitting on the carpet when inside. He has a critical mind and observes people and what they're doing whenever he's around them.
