Mr. Fluffy McScruffles (son, brother, and father according to 5-year-old Raoul)

## **Personality**

Raoul is passionate about his romantic relationship with Christine, but it he can come off as unfriendly or rude to his acquaintances. As a result of being babied as a child, he is rather weak and immature but tries his best to appear strong and fearless, which often comes off as aggressiveness.

Raoul tries to act nonchalant, and constantly tells Christine she worries too much about the phantom and that he is no match for him, but deep down he *is* chalant and worries that the phantom is some handsome jackanapes trying to steal his girl.

Despite being opposites, Raoul and The Phantom actually share a lot of personality traits, but they are demonstrated in very different ways. For instance, they are both very possessive, but Raoul tries to shift Christine’s attention to him through kind words and actions, while Erik straight up abducts Christine and uses threats to get what he wants. Another example is that they are also both insecure, but Raoul hides his insecurities pretty well while Erik wears a literal mask and tells Christine about his insecurities as a way to win over her pity.

еще он задноприводный, скрывает это от своего брата и кристины.

## **Likes/Dislikes**

**Likes:** Christine; The beach; Milk; Cookies; Slumber parties; Chillin’; Star Wars; Mr. Fluffy McScruffles;

**Dislikes:** The Phantom; His brother; Gluten-free/vegan food; Being called “Pillsbury Doughboy”; Phillipe’s “grandma glasses”;

## **Appearance**

Raoul has blonde, wavy hair and blue eyes. He looks a bit like his brother.

It is mentioned in several episodes that Raoul resembles the Pillsbury Doughboy. (pictured on the left)

**Voice:** Raoul’s voice is pretty loud. He has a watered-down attempt of an English accent (I am aware that he is French,) and his voice is slightly low-medium pitched.

**Tans, Freckles, or Burns:** Tans(?)

## **Strengths**

**Swimming:** He has experience in swimming due to being in the navy for some years.

**Being clean:** Raoul cleaned his room and brushed his teeth when he was younger. However, it is left unclear as to whether he continues those good habits in his older years (we are skeptical about his room as many episodes show his room to be very messy. On the other hand, his teeth seem decent and are described to be eggshell white, but not quite new golfball white).

## **Weaknesses**

**Bad acting:** Raoul’s terrible acting is shown in one episode when he fills in for Christine’s part as Puck from *A Midsummer Night’s Dream*.

## **Progression** **Through the Years**

**Infancy:** Raoul was very needy and took up a lot of Phillipe’s attention.

**Childhood:** He has was very dependent on his brother, Phillipe.

**Teenage years:** Raoul met Christine and fell in love with her immediately, despite her being only 12 years old at the time.

**Adulthood:** Raoul finally has freedom and can be independent from his brother. He is ready to be in charge of his own life and start a real romance with Christine. However, he can sometimes take his privileges a bit far.

## **Quirks**

Raoul looks up, extends his neck, lift his arms slightly and make a little noise when confused.

He also does the finger thing Miss Shannon does.

## **Relationships**

**Christine**: Raoul loves Christine immensely and is constantly daydreaming about the romantic times they would spend together after they are wed. Raoul tries to act extra manly in an attempt to win her from the phantom and prove to his brother that he is capable of a good romantic relationship, unlike Phillipe’s relationship with Sorelli.
