Male #5: Rigby Harrison Mercer [SilverAndGoldfish] *DEAD*

Name: Rigby Harrison Mercer

Age: Six years, three months, and eighteen days

Gender: Male

Appearance: Rigby, much like his siblings, looks very similar to the rest of his family. His hair is a dirty blonde color that has been passed down in Jay's family for generations, and has been cut into an adorable fauxhawk. His hazel eyes are more green, unlike his twin sister Eleanor. He's a bit taller than his sister but shares her small, lithe build. Rigby dresses strangely for a young child, often wearing a bowler hat and a pocket-watch along with the sunglasses his father have him when he turned six.

Personality: Rigby is a simple young boy. Cheerful yet a bit skittish, he's the exact opposite of his twin sister. While Eleanor is very loud and fiery, Rigby is a sweet boy who's a little too shy for his dynamic family. Rigby has a knack for understanding people and their feelings quite well, being eerily empathetic for a young boy. He's very good at calming his sister down and is the only one that can keep her from being the bad child in their family. Though not musically inclined, Rigby is very intelligent.

Background: Rigby grew up in a rather unstable home, as his parents were more like playmates than adults. Musicians by trade, they were/are in a rather famous band. Rigby's older siblings- Lucy (15), Starr (11), and Maxwell (8)- grew up on the road with their parents and so did Rigby when he and his twin sister, Eleanor, were born. Up until their sixth birthday, Eleanor and Rigby had a carefree but unstructured life with their parents and siblings. That recently changed, when the Mercer children were sent to live with their grandparents after Lucy told Marta and Jay (all of the children refer to their parents by their first names) that they needed to start acting like adults. Unlike his twin sister, Rigby is adjusting very well to this change.

Fears: Do you want a list? Rigby fears much of everything, though thunderstorms are his main complaint when it comes to being frightened. In order to keep up with his brave sister, he usually hides many of his large list of fears.

Other: Though he and his siblings were named after them, Rigby isn't a fan of The Beatles. He was at the carnival with his siblings and Grandfather Ben when all of this started, as Ben had told them that they needed to have a nice family outing.
