Personality: Richard in this story is a mixture of Richard from Sugarcoated Chillies | B. Gordon and Shatranj | D. Wayne so he kinda has both their personality traits.
The prominent personality facts about him are as follows:
• Is a bit of a show off with all his fancy acrobat moves.
• Extremely dramatic. Is called the dramatic pretty boy for a reason.
• Social butterfly, sometimes even better than Bruce at dealing with all the public attention.
• Literally adored by everyone. Has been Gotham's most adorable boy when he was young and now at nineteen, he is a total heartthrob. Let's just say his beautiful eyes have been solely responsible for making a lot of girls fall for him.
• Combined with his caring nature and gentlemanly persona, he's definitely a dream package.
• Anyhow enough of me gushing about him (apologies in advance), this Richard is also somewhat childish. At times it literally feels like he is a child trapped in the body of a nineteen year old.
• In the start of the story, he was Robin but he got into an argument with Bruce and left home. He kept in touch with Alfred and eventually returned but wasn't too keen on continuing to be Batman's sidekick anymore. Plus Bruce already had a new Robin (Jason Todd) by the time he came back.
• Also, he gets easily jealous so at first, his relationship with Jason was a lot strained since he thought of Jay as a boy Bruce replaced him with. But they eventually sorted things out among themselves.
• I think I won't kill Jason off in this story... Maybe. Oh wait, this is supposed to be a section on Richard's personality traits, not me thinking about what I am going to do in the story or not. So moving on...
• Great observer, picks up on hints and clues very quickly.
• Has the talent of brightening up even the dullest of moods by merely his presence.
• Despite being childish, he is very understanding towards others. He can observe when someone is in trouble and hiding it so he then offers to help them out with it.
• Talkative but mostly his chatter is therapeutic. Bruce may never admit it but when Richard was gone, he missed hearing the constant chatter that poured out from the boy.
• Highly imaginative and loves to listen to stories, later on, picks up the hobby of book reading too.
Theme Song: In Too Deep by Why Don't We
I'm in too deep,
Can't touch the bottom with my feet.
Don't know what you did to me,
I can't breathe but I'm living
