Snow Hill Island Formation

Snow Hill Island Formation as it appears in the fifth segment of Islands

***“ In the far south of the planet, on the islands of the Antarctic peninsula, winter brings months of freezing temperatures. Here, too, being part of a family brings benefits. ”***

― **David Attenborough**, *Islands*
The **Snow Hill Island Formation** is a geological formation found on the James Ross Island of Antarctica, preceding the López de Bertodano Formation.

## Description

***“ In the Antarctic, ice clings to the highest mountains even in the summer months. But now, with temperatures falling, and the days shortening, the polar winter is spreading once more across the land. Animals must now prepare for its return. ”***

― **David Attenborough**, *Ice Worlds*
Around 71 million years ago, during the Early Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, Earth's climate was much warmer and more humid than today. Due to this, Antarctica had a climate similar to those of modern-day volcanic arcs, supporting large, dense conifer forests, cycads, and ginkgos. Even back then, however, much like Antarctica today, the inhabitants of the island had to endure a long period of cold, dark months during the winter, and hence had to adapt to the freezing temperatures as snow and ice cover up the temperate forests of the region.

## Appearances

The Snow Hill Island Formation serves as the setting of the fifth segment of Ice Worlds and the fifth segment of Islands.

Ellie Beaker

**Ellie Beaker** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is part of Ruby's circle of friends.

## Personality

Ellie has gained an unfortunate but rather deserved reputation as the class loudmouth. She has a habit of wanting to tell everyone about everything, which means you can't trust her with your secrets - a shame, because it's something she can't control. On the other hand, it does mean she's very quick to answer questions in class. Outside of that, she's a peppy, considerate girl who's a member of the debate team and has been friends with Ruby since they both began middle school, where they bonded over laughing at their teacher's propensity for snacking on bananas during class.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Beaker* derives from "beak", Ellie's most prominent feature.
Orlov Clopnik

**Orlov Clopnik** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is the head of the music department at Critterwood Junior High.

## Personality

Ever since going to see a performance of *La fanciulla del West* as a young foal, Orlov has been hard at work studying music all he can. Though he's currently stuck in a teaching job, his dream has been to write his own opera and have it performed in Animalia's Symphonia concert hall. The problem? He can't seem to get it started. Every time he writes a first draft, he quickly grows unsatisfied with it and starts over. He's hoping that maybe, one day, one of his students will manage to push him in the right direction towards his road to fame.

## Trivia

### Name origin

The name *Orlov* comes from the Orlov Trotter breed of horse, which, like Orlov himself, is Russian in origin. *Clopnik* is a portmanteau of "gopnik" (a type of Slavic delinquent) and "clop", a term usually associated with horses.
Amy Thomson

**Amy Thomson** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She runs Prairie Arcade, along with Otis Aferra.

## Personality

An avid competitive gamer ever since she was a child, Amy has strived to give kids the experience she had at Critterwood's former arcade that unfortunately closed down due to a lack of profit. After buying up an abandoned tech support centre, she transformed it into the hangout for children and teens alike that it is today. Her favourite video game is Crossed Blades, a popular MMORPG, although she's never revealed to anyone who her avatar is or what level she's at - though some have suspected her as being The Crimson Scimitar, a Level 75 warrior known for slaying hordes of players across the nation...

She was also in the same class as Ruby in elementary school, although the two haven't seen each other since then.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Thomson* comes from the Thomson's gazelle.

Alexandra Nanashky

**Alexandra Nanashky** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is an assistant music teacher at Critterwood Junior High, usually working alongside Orlov Clopnik.

## Personality

Alexandra is unique among most of Critterwood Junior High's staff in that she's terrified of having to be the centre of attention, which is the reason Orlov takes over her duties. She's more than happy to stay in the background and file papers, sort out instruments and the like. On the off-chance that Orlov is off sick and she has to lead the class, all hell usually breaks loose. She wishes she had more confidence in herself, but, ironically, she's too nervous to speak to anyone about it.

## Trivia

* Parts of her design were inspired by the characters of Dawn Bellwether from *Zootopia* and Toriel from *Undertale*.

### Name origin

*Nanashky* comes from "nanny goat", a term for a female goat, coupled with a Slavic-sounding surname suffix.
Kenneth Bonbark

**Kenneth Ignatius Bonbark Jr.** is a main character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is part of Rocky and Ricky's friend circle.

## Personality

Kenneth is an avid fan of many things. Ask him about something fictional, bam, he’ll rattle off his opinions on that thing and may even unload a trivia dump onto you. He uses his smarts to do things such as mod video games or value the price of a baseball card, for instance. He’s not one to discriminate, either - he’s a fan of clothes and can pull off wearing literally almost any material. He has no idea what to do when he grows up, so he’s just “gonna let life take (him) for a drive” and continue enjoying the present. It’s a good philosophy to have.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Bonbark* is a portmanteau of "bone" and "bark". The name *Kenneth* is also somewhat similar to the word "kennel". Coincidentally, Kenneth's name as an acronym spells out K.I.B., the first three letters of "kibble".
Rupert Nillerich

**Rupert Nillerich** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

What’s Rupert’s favourite pastime? “Chillaxing”, according to him. And indeed, he’s the most lax out of everyone in the class, although that doesn’t mean he’s lazy - he still gets good grades. His hobby is the fantasy RPG genre, and it was him who started the after-school Dragons and Warlocks club, which gets regular attendees. His avatar - which he also takes on as an online persona - is Archibald Optimus III, pyromancer. After every school day, he’ll always go to his bed and take a nap, so he can dream about more stuff he can use for his next club meeting.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Nillerich* comes from "Nilpferd", the German word for hippopotamus, combined with a stereotypical German "-ich" suffix.

Enrico Gippulci

**Enrico Gippulci** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He runs a certain branch of Handypaws General that happens to be a front for his shady dealings in the mafia, as he is also a mob boss and crime lord of Critterwood's seedy underbelly.

## Personality

Sitting at the top of the crime scene in Critterwood, Enrico revels in the power he has. The government *is* aware he exists, they're just terribly incompetent in actually catching him. And what's the main product that his group is smuggling in? Knock-off watches and unlicensed drink brands, which line the shelves of the store he uses as a facade. The average Critterwood denizen is unaware of what goes on behind the scenes with Enrico and his goons, but a select few have managed to meet him face-to-face - and usually not for a good reason...

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Gippulci* comes from "pulce", the Italian word for "flea", combined with a stereotypical "Gi-" Italian name (like *Giovanni*).
Mayor Downe

**Rutherford Downe** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is the mayor of Critterwood and can often be found at the Critterwood Town Hall.

## Personality

Currently in the middle of his second term, Mayor Downe tries his best to make Critterwood seem like an upstanding place to live. While his policies have been, on the whole, received fairly well, there have been a couple of concerns regarding what he does with parts of the treasury. A joke among the kids (who don't know any better) is that he swims in a pile of gold in a private vault, but the mayor has denied these rumours - just don't ask him about that new fancy side table that showed up in his office last week...

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Downe* comes from the word "down", a layer of feathers located underneath the exterior feathers of a bird such as a duck. Mayor Downe is named *Rutherford* after US President Rutherford B. Hayes.
Ruby Racklock

**Ruby Racklock** is one of the main characters in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is the sister to Rocky.

## Personality

A kind, caring high school cheerleader with strong emotions about the ones she loves. While she may not share her younger brother's sense of adventure or recklessness, she still has a fiery determination to get things done and make sure good prevails.

She's also pretty popular at her school for her looks and intelligence; however, this popularity comes at a price. Because of the attention she receives, she feels as though she has an image to live up to, causing her to occasionally seek perfectionism in certain things in fear of letting others down, especially her parents. Still, she keeps a smile on her face through it all, even though there are some times she would really like to just be herself - which she mostly gets when being around Rocky.

## Trivia

* Initially, her and Rocky were the same character before development of the show began, however once the show was thought of, she was split from up from Rocky's character.
	+ Additionally, she was also initially named Rocky while Rocky was named Shane (before they came out as a trans female and changed her name to Shanelle), after the creator of the show, before the Rocky name was given to Rocky and she was renamed to Ruby.
* She was initially briefly going to be Rocky's younger sister but was quickly changed to be an older sister.

### Name origin

Racklock derives from *raichleach*, an Irish word for "cat".
Mr. Lonnie

**Cameron Lonnie** is a main character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is a teacher at Critterwood Junior High and teaches Rocky and Ricky, among other students.

## Personality

Critterwood Junior High's most recent acquisition. While most teachers would probably be overwhelmed teaching a class of thirty, all with wildly different personalities, Mr. Lonnie keeps himself on his pupils' good sides with his friendly demeanor and positive attitude. Some of his class have even stated that they *like* being taught by him. His specialist subject is chemistry, and his life goal is to discover a never-before-seen element of the periodic table. Unsurprisingly, carrots are his favourite food.
Sidney Moevun

**Sidney Moevun** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Probably the most dangerous out of everyone in Mr. Lonnie’s class, Sidney has a… troubled background, and has a habit of stealing things from the classroom. If he doesn’t get his way, he’ll threaten his classmates, especially if they look weak or have good grades. Even Bimmy, Zach and Audrey are terrified of him. He’s been sent to juvie so many times now he’s lost count, and as far as anyone else knows, he doesn’t have any redeeming qualities whatsoever. Rumour has it that he’s even killed someone in the past, although (hopefully) that probably isn’t true…

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Moevun* comes from "Möwe", the German word for seagull.
Nancy Downe

**Nancy Downe** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is the wife of Mayor Downe and acts as his secretary.

## Personality

Even by Critterwood's standards, Nancy is a bit of an enigma. She first made her presence known by applying to be the mayor's secretary, things happened behind-the-scenes, and somehow, she managed to marry her boss and have a child with him. Most details about her are kept behind closed doors, which is rather ironic considering she's the first face you see when you enter the Town Hall. Some have theorised she's the one pulling the strings in the town; manipulating her husband's position for her own goals. It doesn't seem to have much ground at the moment, but she *does* act somewhat shifty when she thinks no one else is around...

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Downe* comes from the word "down", a layer of feathers located underneath the exterior feathers of a bird such as a duck. She is also named *Nancy* after Nancy Reagan, wife of US President Ronald Reagan.
Wobble Retors

**Wobble Armin Retors** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is Ricky's uncle.

## Personality

If you looked up a definition of the word "loser" in the dictionary, you'd probably find that "Wobble" is listed as a synonym. An unemployed, single, ginger-ale-drinking raccoon in his mid-thirties, Wobble Retors is the metaphorical black sheep of his family. Since his brother has a high-ranking job and is almost always abroad, he takes care of his nephew, Ricky, who is several country miles ahead of him IQ-wise. Despite all of this, he keeps a smile on his face and tries to make the best of a bad situation, even if *he's* usually the one who's caused it. He truly does love his family, and would protect them no matter what.

Unfortunately, Wobble is also in debt to a number of individuals, and a few of them have certain connections to certain shady groups...

## Trivia

* He is a homage/parody of the character "Wabuu", a character from various films by mockbuster studio "Dingo Pictures", who in turn was a bootlegged "Meeko" from the Disney film "Pocahontas".

### Name origin

*Retors* is the French word for "crafty" or "wily".
Rosa Lambert

**Rosa Lambert** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

*The* fashionista. Rosa knows what looks good on a critter and won’t hesitate to take an individual out shopping for clothes. In fact, she might even spin some clothes of her own, made from her own wool, which might sound a bit weird but she’ll guarantee you that it doesn’t bother her at all. She’s also into party planning, which is handy for whenever school dances come up or someone’s throwing a house party. She dreams of running her own small business clothing store one day, and has even tried to get permission to do so already, but everyone agrees she’s still a little too young to handle such a responsibility just yet.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Lambert* contains the word "lamb", a young sheep.
Pawkonwizja Ameryki 2023

**Pawkonwizja Ameryki 2023** będzie pierwszą edycją Pawkonwizji Ameryki transmitowaną na kanale Pawkon. Odbędzie się ona w Milwaukee w Wisconsin, weźmie w niej udział 55 regionów USA (stanów i terytoriów). W tym konkursie nie będzie automatycznego finalisty.

## Informacje Ogólne

### Nazwa

Konkurs Piosenki Pawkonwizji Ameryki 2023

## Wybór gospodarza

Do organizowania pierwszej edycji Pawkonwizji Ameryki zgłosiło się 5 stany i jedno terytorium. Gospodarza poprzez 2 rundowe głosowanie wybrało Międzynarodowe Kolegium Pawkonwizji (IPC) i FDPP.

### Organizowanie w Kanadzie

Na początku FDPP proponowało nie rozgrywania konkursu na terytorium Stanów Zjednoczonych, gdyż automatyczny awans do finału w konkursie, gdzie trzeba przejść 2 rundy by się do niego dostać byłby nieuczciwy. Początkowo więc proponowano kanadyjskie Calgary jako miasto organizujące PA 2023. Jednak później IPC dodało zasadę, że gospodarz 1 edycji nie będzie miał automatycznego awansu do finału, przez co zrobiono głosowanie z pośród 6 miast Stanów Zjednoczonych.

## Selekcje

 **Kalifornia - To The Rhythm Of California**
Lucas Mayn

**Lucas Mayn** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Despite his species known for being ferocious, Lucas is actually a pretty laid-back guy. One of his favourite subjects is, of all things, creative writing, where he can describe settings and environments in exquisite detail. This talent has earned him a spot as a writer for the school paper, and he hopes to write for the actual Critterwood Crower someday, but he’ll settle for being its paperboy for now. An interesting fact about him is that he’s ambidextrous - he can write with both his left and right paws.

## Trivia

* His design is partially based off the character of Simba from *The Lion King*.

### Name origin

*Mayn* is a corruption of the word "mane", a feature present on predominantly male lions.
Gloria Slynx

**Gloria Slynx** (née Colica) is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is the mother of Lucy.

## Personality

Gloria is all about keeping things organised. She always makes sure her house is spic-and-span and runs her business, Migration Travel Agency, like an enormous clock (where all the cooperative cogs mesh together). This obsession with keeping things orderly *does* come with its fair share of problems, with one notable one being that she essentially decides her daughter's days for her, with colour-coded schedules and all. It's got nothing to do with limitations or anything - she just thinks that she knows what's best for her child.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Slynx* contains the word "lynx", the name of another feline species. *Colica* is the word "calico", a breed of cat, syllable-swapped.
Cerys Chunaw

**Cerys Chunaw** (née Castor) is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is the mother of Damien.

## Personality

Her outward appearance may not show it, but Cerys really knows how to take a truck for a spin. She's done cross-regional deliveries in her semi before, and has surprised many a fellow trucker before just by being behind the wheel. She can even translate truckspeak! Oftentimes, she also helps her husband and her kids with architectural plans - in fact, the almost postmodern-styled shape of the Critterwood Mall's extension was almost entirely her doing. While she may be one with the open road, that doesn't mean she neglects her family.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Chunaw* is a slightly modified portmanteau of the words "chew" and "gnaw". *Castor* derives from the scientific name of the beaver.
Maisie Fetchit

**Maisie Fetchit** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

An athletic girl known for gravitating towards the sports field whenever possible. She has top marks in P.E. and signs up for any teams she can. Her dream is to play for one of Critterwood’s major league teams, and she works towards that goal by sneaking onto pitches at night and building up her skillsets. Because of this, she doesn’t really have time for friendship groups, even though multiple groups keep trying to invite her to their circles. One of her biggest weaknesses is that she’ll accept any challenge, even if she knows she’ll lose, solely because she enjoys the thrill of the competition.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Fetchit* is simply "fetch it" combined into one word, as dogs like to play fetch. Maisie's first name (as well as her appearance) were inspired by Yoshisaur K. Fireball's real life dog.
Dr. Peckten

**Alan Peckten** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is part of the staff at the Critterwood General Hospital.

## Personality

While well-meaning (in the *loosest* sense of the word), Dr. Peckten's medical techniques have been called into question many times. No one knows how he joined the hospital staff, but some suspect Mayor Downe of having placed him there due to species bias. Due to his relative lack of training, he often has to hand off to his co-worker Dr. Quillis to perform procedures he's been signed up for. Doesn't help that he's squeamish around blood and internal organs, which means he'll usually be found as far away from the operating theatre as possible. And don't get us wrong - he doesn't *hate* his job, he's just... in the wrong place.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Peckten* is a combination of "peck", which birds like ducks often do, and "pecten".
Ricky Retors

**Richard "Ricky" Gehirn Retors** is one of the two major titular characters in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*.

## Personality

Ricky is a often-claimed "boy genius", as many inventions he can create are seemingly limitless, and some even seem to break space-time itself. Despite this, he prefers to stay in his age range for his own reasons. He’s best friends with Rocky and with how careless he can be sometimes, Ricky usually has to steer him out of trouble or clean up the messes he leaves behind. He lives with his uncle, Wobble.

## Trivia

* Just like Rocky, he was created as an OC initially before the show was created.

### Name origin

*Retors* is the French word for "crafty" or "wily".
Lucy Slynx

**Lucy Lyra Slynx** is a main character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is part of Rocky and Ricky's friend circle.

## Personality

Lucy’s main defining trait is that she’s always busy doing everything. Part of this is due to her interest in a lot of things, but also because of pressure from her overbearing mother. Nevertheless, she takes things in stride, keeping on top of her schoolwork while still having an active social life. Deep down, though, she wishes she could have some sort of spontaneity in her life, as she’d rather not let colour-coded schedules dictate her over her own free will, something she infamously brought up in a debate team meeting once which eventually turned into a shouting match.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Slynx* contains the word "lynx", the name of another feline species.
Layla Honeydew

**Layla Honeydew** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Layla is best described with the word “current”. She always knows what’s in and what’s out the minute, sometimes even the second, that the Internet declares it so. Sometimes even she goes ahead and says what’s what and everyone just accepts it. As head of the newspaper, she knows the buzz about what’s going on around the school - some have reckoned this ability is due to her antennae and not “skilful intuition” like she keeps saying, but it doesn’t really matter in the long run as she’s a reliable lass who knows how to back her sources. Her mother also owns the local honey factory, to the shock of absolutely no one.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Honeydew* was chosen as it stems from the association of bees with honey.
Jerry Roberts

**Jerry Roberts** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is a cashier at one of Critterwood's Handypaws General Stores.

## Personality

A novice in the world of work, Jerry took his job at the Handypaws General store because it was the first job he found that didn't require any prior training. Meek, timid and absolutely terrified of his boss (who he's never seen the face of), he tries to put on a brave face while dealing with customers, and tries to help anyone he meets in the hopes that doing so will net him a little extra cash. Everyone who's visited the store knows Jerry, but they've never actually seen him outside of work. It's inferred that he mostly likes to keep to himself.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Roberts* was chosen as "Robert" is a longer form of the name "Bob", i.e. the bobcat, another type of lynx.
Dr. Quillis

**Naomi Quillis** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is a part of the staff at Critterwood General Hospital.

## Personality

A graduate in medicine from one of the country's top universities, Dr. Quillis takes the no-nonsense, down-to-business approach to treating her patients. She knows all the tricks to helping a fellow critter recover, and has been noted to be good with children. Sometimes, however, she gets overworked from covering both her own shifts and her slightly-more-incompetent colleague Dr. Peckten's, but she always makes sure she has time for herself as well (after all, self-care is essential, too!). Interestingly, her quills *would* prove a liability for those around her and the hospital knows that having them does not make for a good work environment - but she's just so good at her job, that they don't want to see her go.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Quillis* derives from "quill", one of the hedgehog's most notable features.
Terrence Knox

**Terrence Knox** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is a worker at the Critterwood Museum, covering the night shift.

## Personality

Having an irregular sleep schedule hasn't done Terrence any favours when it comes to his sanity. His work hours and his species' nocturnal-based circadian rhythms mean he only ever hangs around at night, meaning he's not seen often. Still, he does do a pretty good job of keeping watch over the museum when it's shut; nothing ever gets stolen or damaged when he's on patrol. Not only that, but he also seems to be aware of certain other creatures that only wander the town at night...

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Knox* is a corruption of "nox", the Latin word for "night".
Ryan Rollot

**Ryan Rollot** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Ryan is an unusual fellow. Simply put, he’s part of the only pillbug family in Critterwood, and seeing as how pillbugs have fourteen legs, he sometimes feels like he sticks out a bit too much. Having that many legs isn’t so bad though, as he’s one of the fastest members of the track team, and if he breaks one, he’s got thirteen others as backup. He also has a slight problem in which whenever someone, say, taps him on the shoulder, he’ll curl up into a ball. He’s been trying to dispel this reaction for a while, but as it’s a trait that runs in his family, it seems he won’t be getting rid of it any time soon.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Rollot* comes from the word "roll", inspired by the pillbug's ball shape whenever they curl up.
Barend van Pakk

**Barend van Pakk** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is the head gym teacher for Critterwood Junior High.

## Personality

Hailing from the Netherlands, Barend has only one motivation in life: to see things succeed, whether that be his students or his favourite soccer team. He was the fastest runner in his hometown of Zaandam and has brought over his training regimen to the States, hoping it will meld the young minds there into becoming national representatives in the Olympics. He's also extremely perceptive and, to his students, it almost feels like he has eyes in the back of his head, as he knows if someone's acting out of line without even looking at them.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Barend* was chosen for its similarity to the word "bear". *Pakk* comes from the Dutch word "pakken", meaning "tackle".
Bethany Yaxley

**Bethany Yaxley** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Possibly the quietest member of the class, Bethany likes to sit in dark corners and write poetry about… things that exist. She also likes writing fanfics about the latest movies she’s seen or books she’s read. Whatever she writes, they’ll usually have some sort of dark twist to them somehow. Sometimes she reads her poems in front of the rest of the class, which usually leaves everyone in stunned silence because of how bizarre the subject material can get. She aims to shock, she does, and getting that sort of reaction is all she’s looking for at the end of the day.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Yaxley* simply takes "yak" and adds the surname "-ley" suffix onto it.
Samuel Cargo

**Samuel Cargo** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is Critterwood's most (in)famous mailman.

## Personality

Samuel has been delivering mail for over thirty years now, but he isn't planning on quitting the job any time soon. Which might be a bit of a bummer to some people, because as the only snail on the mail team, he's much, *much* slower at doing his job than everybody else. He tries his best nonetheless, and is immune to any verbal insults thrown his way - he's "heard it all before" as he says. Note that the shell he wears during his rounds is merely just for his job; he has a different, less-advertise-y shell for when he's off the clock that also doubles as his home, which he claims is a "cheap way to beat rent". But if the shell isn't part of his body... then does that make him a slug?

## Trivia

### Name origin

When read with his first name as an initial, *S. Cargo* sounds like "escargot", the French word for "snail".
Rocky Racklock

**Rockefeller "Rocky" Crúpaí Racklock** is one of the two major titular characters in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*.

## Personality

Rocky's main attributes are his rambunctiousness and no-holds-barred attitude towards a lot of things he comes across. He feels strongly passionate about people or things he cares about, especially his family and friends, and is just trying to make life easier for everybody by way of the plans and ideas that formulate in his brain. The problem with most of these ideas is that they're usually quite dangerous, but Rocky's persistence and attempts at reassuring those he's roped in keep them going.

While he *says* he likes to keep active, Rocky's favorite past time is to laze around and play video games, with the *Underrune* series being his personal preference. There are certain times he will get up and play sports, especially if baseball's involved, but he considers entertainment "his true calling". He is best friends with Ricky.

## Trivia

* Shanelle originally created Rocky as an OC until she created the show.
* His design is based heavily off the character Johnny's cat form from the cartoon *Johnny Test,* specifically from the episodes "Johnny Alternative" and "Johnnycicle".

### Name origin

Racklock derives from *raichleach*, an Irish word for "cat". *Crúpaí* is an obscure Irish word for "claw".

Erik Baddiel

**Erik Baddiel** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Erik… isn’t exactly a social butterfly, or badger as the case may be. He likes to keep to himself and isn’t really one for befriending others, partially because he’s too shy to talk to anyone in case he screws up befriending them somehow. In his downtime, he likes to play video games, and his favourite game is Digcraft, which he has poured many an hour into. He still gets good grades and all that, and has even made the honour roll a couple of times, but he’d really just prefer to stay in the background. He is a sweet kid at heart, he’s just really introverted.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Baddiel* starts with the same first three letters as "badger".
Matthew Joseph

**Matthew Joseph** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Matthew has always been somewhat of a sheltered kid… well, perhaps you’d be too if you spent your first few years inside of your mother’s pouch. Inevitably this has led to “momma’s boy” jokes that unfortunately the poor kid can’t refute, so he just takes it as it comes. He has told his mother about all this, and seeing as how she’s a member of Critterwood Junior High’s PTA, you’d have thought something would’ve been done by now. Apart from all that, Matthew is a day-dreamer and likes to doodle on the edges of his notebook pages sometimes, with small-scale stuff like spirals and pyramids. Y’know, “bored” doodling.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Joseph* is a longer form of "joey", which is also the name for a young marsupial such as a kangaroo.
Isabel Staroe

**Isabel Staroe** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

She may seem like a normal girl on the surface, but behind Isabel’s smile lies a web of anxiety that she desperately wishes would go away. She’s brilliant at hiding it, though, even though it’s preventing her from making many friends. Her skill at putting on a face has made her a star at the drama club, where she often gets put in a leading or secondary female role. This doesn’t bother her, though, because it gives her the chance to be someone else - if only she could employ the bravado she attains on the stage off of it, she’d be one of the most popular girls in no time.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Staroe* is a combination of "stag" and "roe", both words that are associated with deer.

Tina Mayn

**Tina Mayn** (née Panthus) is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is the wife of Felix Mayn and mother of Lucas and Natasha Mayn.

## Personality

Tina's attitude towards pretty much everything can be summed up by her motto: "safety first!". Having worked as a crossing guard for Critterwood's various schools for over ten years, she takes the job seriously and safeguards all she can, "just in case". She's even suggested to her husband on one occasion that he should wear gloves while writing because he might get a paper cut. This may make her sound like a killjoy, but in reality she's one of the friendliest people in town. Never underestimate the power of a positive outlook on life!

## Trivia

* Her design is partially based off the character of Sarabi from *The Lion King*, as well as Florrie from *Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa*.

### Name origin

*Mayn* is a corruption of the word "mane", a feature present on predominantly male lions. *Panthus* stems from the genus *Panthera*, which lions are a part of.
Justine Tortaruga

**Justine Tortaruga** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Justine is the total antithesis of everything you’d expect a tortoise to be. A fan of extreme sports, she can often be found down at the skate park, or at the baseball field, where she’ll usually be supporting her favourite team, the Critterwood Roarers. She also loves breakdancing, nachos, and wearing caps backwards. Ironically, her parents keep trying to advise her to “slow down”, but every time they say that it just encourages her to go faster. She’s best friends with Maisie, and together they hope to play for the major leagues someday.

## Trivia

* Initially her first name was Jenny, but it was changed to avoid confusion with Jenny Deapsie.

### Name origin

*Tortaruga* is a portmanteau of the Spanish and Portuguese names for "tortoise" ("tortuga" and "tartaruga" respectively).
Mary Paparo

**Mary Paparo** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Mary isn’t a bad kid, but she is rather self-absorbed and conceited. She’ll brag often about how she always gets the best jewellery in front of anyone who’ll listen, and she might spend upwards of half an hour in front of a mirror, trying to look her best. She also tries to stay trending, getting the latest phones and following all of the latest celebrities. All of her behaviour seems to stem from a desire to grow up too fast, as she won’t ever embrace being a child for what it is, and it might take a few more years before she realises exactly how much she missed out on.

## Trivia

* Her dress is based on the one the character of Lisa Simpson wears in *The Simpsons*.

### Name origin

*Paparo* stems from "Papagei", the German word for parrot.
Principal Dean

**Frank Dean** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is the headteacher of Critterwood Junior High.

## Personality

Never smile at a crocodile? Principal Dean hardly believes that should be the case. Welcoming in his mannerisms and polite to his co-workers, he is understanding of children and will always try to look into the justification of why someone would, say, cheat on a test or steal basketballs from the gym closet. Although his punishments may be strict at times, they're fair, and no one has ever thought to question his choices. After all, you wouldn't want to disagree with someone whose jaws are twice the size of your arms, right?
Eileen Sabakk

**Eileen Sabakk** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

Camels in real life are known for being somewhat rude and hostile. Not Eileen, though, she’s the complete opposite of that. One of the sweetest girls you could ever meet, she’s amassed many friends due to her empathetic nature. If there’s ever a get-well-card to be passed around, she’s usually the first to sign it - if she didn’t already make it in the first place. Some see her overly trusting nature as a sign of weakness, but it hasn’t slowed her down at all. She’s also an avid watcher of feel-good films, despite the fact that they usually make her cry at the endings.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Sabakk* comes from 砂漠 (*sabaku*), the Japanese word for "desert".
Otis Aferra

**Otis Aferra** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He runs Prairie Arcade, along with Amy Thomson.

## Personality

Otis is a very carefree individual - he hasn't let pesky little things like being a high school drop-out slow him down. Otis met Amy after visiting the arcade one day and noticing that she seemed to be having some troubles in running the place all by herself, so he signed up to assist her, eventually ending up having a cut of some of the arcade's profits. His favourite video game is Speed Limit III, the latest instalment in a series of racing games.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Aferra* derives from the Latin name for the aardvark, *Orycteropus afer*.
Tracy Manto

**Tracy Manto** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is part of Ruby's circle of friends.

## Personality

If there's anyone in Critterwood who has the worst luck when it comes to romance, Tracy takes the cake by far. She's pulled a significant number of boyfriends in recent years, but she always scares them off because of some bizarre involuntary reaction that happens whenever she's emotionally excited (must be the hormones...). The fact that her availability is constantly fluctuating doesn't hamper her, though - she's still got her hobbies and interests, like topiary and watercolour painting. She's the artsy type.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Manto* derives from the mantis' scientific name, *Mantodea*.
Franziska Duftmacher

**Franziska Duftmacher** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is Critterwood Junior High's janitor.

## Personality

Janitorial work isn't exactly the most thrilling of jobs. You'd never believe that by looking at Franziska - she actively enjoys her work at Critterwood Junior High and is possibly the kindest person in the school by far. Mopping floors and wiping down windows is practically second nature to her. She even hums tunes to herself when she thinks she's alone, and, from what people have said, her singing voice is surprisingly good. If you walk into a classroom on Monday morning and get a whiff of the fresh scent of vanilla, you have Franziska to thank.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Duftmacher* is a German term essentially meaning "odour-maker", as skunks are known for their stenches. The surname suffix "-macher" is also German in origin.
Amelia Brydd

**Amelia Brydd** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

The first thing that everyone who knows Amelia best will tell you about her is that she’s got a really good singing voice. Indeed, she’s one of the lead members of the school choir and has a music library the size of a record shop. Part of this can be attributed to her father, who was really into all the bands of the time growing up and shared his interests with his daughter. She also has a sizable following on social media, with the majority of her posts split between her singing to popular songs and her sharing “winter aesthetic” images, which seems to be her natural element.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Brydd* comes from the Old English word "brid", which eventually evolved into the modern English word "bird".
Fred Chunaw

**Fred Chunaw** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is the father of Damien.

## Personality

From the way he goes about his job, you'd never think that the legendary Frederick "Fred" Chunaw was actually reluctant to continue his father's legacy in the construction business. His initial aspiration was to be a professional BMX rider, so he spent his childhood days biking around the woods and taking in nature. This aspect of his personality has endured even into his adulthood, as he enjoys taking in the sights of Critter Wood and occasionally providing him inspiration for his next construction project. Although he hasn't touched a bike in a while, he'd still love to get back into it someday.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Chunaw* is a slightly modified portmanteau of the words "chew" and "gnaw".
Ida Downe

**Ida Downe** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is a student at Critterwood Junior High in the grade above Rocky and Ricky, and is the daughter of Mayor Downe.

## Personality

Being the daughter of the mayor has its perks, something Ida knows and relishes in. While at school, she tends to turn up her beak at anyone she considers a "peasant" (read: not as influential in the community) and if she's recently bought something new, expect her to flaunt it for hours on end. She has a gaggle of friends that swarm her at all times, but they're only friends with her because of her status. If only she'd take a step back and re-examine the way she's been treating others...

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Downe* comes from the word "down", a layer of feathers located underneath the exterior feathers of a bird such as a duck. The name *Ida* in particular ties into the word "eiderdown", which specifically refers to the down of an eider duck.
Felix Mayn

**Felix Mayn** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. He is the author of the successful book *The Lion Flies Tonight* and is the father of Lucas and Natasha Mayn.

## Personality

Felix may seem imposing to some people, but on the inside, he's just a big softy. Felix's status as a novelist has earned him fame across the nation, which is a remarkably impressive feat considering he's only put out one book so far (although he is planning a potential follow-up). A couple of times, he's been invited to do guest talks at schools and universities about what makes a good book. Outside of his work, Felix likes to spend his time cooking and being with his family.

## Trivia

* His design was partially based off the character of Mufasa from *The Lion King*.

### Name origin

*Mayn* is a corruption of the word "mane", a feature present on predominantly male lions.
Audrey Kackle

**Audrey Kackle** is a character in the web-series *Rocky and Ricky*. She is one of Rocky and Ricky's classmates.

## Personality

As the leader of a pack of rogues, Audrey knows how to intimidate, and boy does she ever. Her favourite thing to do is laugh at the misfortune of others, especially when it’s deeply ironic or inappropriate to do so. She also laughs whenever someone says something she finds stupid, which is often. Lately she’s been seeing a psychologist about this, and perhaps there could be some repressed, deep-seated trauma behind it all? Because, believe it or not, she is actually trying to reform herself, despite many others thinking she’ll never change. Just goes to show how everyone deserves a second chance.

## Trivia

### Name origin

*Kackle* is simply "cackle" (a synonym for laughing) but with a different initial letter.
