==== Childhood & Preadolescence ====
Born in Barcelona, Spain River was born to Gregorio and Malina Alvarez, the twin brother of Almira, and the older brother of Bolivar, Catalina, Diego, and Marcelino.
At birth, River was identified as female, and spent the next twelve years as a female. They spent the ages of 11-12 trying to figure out what they were and trying to do it before telling their parents. At the age of thirteen, River came out as transgender, identifying as a male. To their surprise, Gregorio and Malina were super supporting. They had noticed River becoming more distant and closed off, and also spotted that they had started avoiding dresses and skirts. They were just waiting for him to tell them. At that moment, River told them his new name Rivera Alvarez, which got shortened to River. Out of his siblings, Almira was the first to call River by their new name (mostly due to the others not being quite old enough to understand, but overtime they started understanding).
The next two years, River went through the treatments as their new person. Unfortunately, they were unable to go through top surgery before they started at Ever After. They agreed with their parents to wait until they graduated to do it. 
A few days before his 14th birthday, River received his Acceptance letter for Ever After High notifying him as the successor of Peter Pan, the Boy Who Never Grew Up, following Parker Pan not having a child to succeed him. 
At first, River was unsure about it, but after talking it over with his parents, he agreed. At the same time, Almira received her notice of being chosen as Mr. Smee's successor, as she calls it, Mrs. Smee.
