Rude Ralph

Raphael "Ralph" Rhodes is one the protagonists in Horrid Henry (TV series). He is voiced by Aidan Cook.

## Appearance and Biography

He is Henry's best friend, and a rude boy. He is apparently ill- mannered. Sometimes, they show him as Henry's enemy, although they sometimes fall out.

Like Henry, Ralph is mischievous, rebellious, and has the personality of a "bad boy." He is very rude, and almost never says please and thank you. He enjoys eating ice cream and farting. He, like Henry, likes eating sweets, but unlike Henry, he does not seem to mind healthy food that much, as shown in "Horrid Henry and the Ice Cream Dream".

However, in Season 2, his personality appears to have mellowed. He makes more appearances in the 2nd season, and develops more character.

While Henry really hates girls, Ralph doesn't seem to mind them that much, willing to chat with them, (as shown in "Horrid Henry and the School Uniform") which sometimes gets him into trouble with Henry.

## Friendship with Henry

While in the 1st season, Ralph was shown to be a close friend of Henry's, he was still quick to desert him several times, laughing at him along with the rest of the class whenever Henry was humiliated. This example is best displayed in "Horrid Henry's Underpants." when the two briefly became enemies.

In Season 2 and 3, their friendship is shown to be more stronger, now best friends. They prove to have a strong bond and stand by each other. Ralph was also shown defending Henry a multiple amount of times.

In "Horrid Henry On Trial." Ralph was Henry's defendent, helping him win the case against Peter and Margaret.

In "Horrid Henry Says Goodbye", he was the only one to visit him after Henry's ungrateful outburst at the farewell party at not getting a game for a present (and being yelled at by his parents after), and is the only to show any sign whatsoever of missing him. It is surprising that Ralph would give Henry a bad present like something with a fimble in as they don't like shows that they think are babies.

Henry and Ralph seem to high five each other a lot, either as a greeting, goodbye, or (In "Horrid Henry Says's Goodbye"'s case) farewell, or before and after a trick/raid has been successful (or they think it has).

It was revealed in "Horrid Henry's Horrid Heroes" that Ralph is second-in-command of the Purple Hand Gang. Ralph is actually the only official member of the Purple Hand Gang who has never been fired, aside from Henry himself. Sometimes, Henry tricks him instead of being on his side. srxtdcyfvugbinhojmp,l.;e sdxhc

## Skills

Ralph has demonstrated many skills through out the series.

He plays electric guitar in "Horrid Henry's Horrid Heroes." , "Horrid Henry, Rock star" and "Horrid Henry Rocking The World"

He also displays slight intelligence when it comes to solving solutions and helping Henry out. Especially in the episodes, "Horrid Henry Delivers a Message." and "The Purple Hand Gang Rules, OK!" He never says please or thank you.

He displays a great interest in fashion, hinting that he wants to design clothes when he's older, something that Henry couldn't believe in "Horrid Henry Ace Reporter".
