**Ronald Novikov** also known as Ron, is a main character in *Jackson's Diary.* He is being hosted at Jackson's house by Carol Smith and Frank Smith as an exchange student.

## Appearance

Ronald is tall with a fair complexion. He has a muscular body type and is usually seen as frightening or intimidating because of his height and grumpy expression. Ronald has long, straight, dyed blue hair (only straight thing about him) that he often styles, usually tied. He has three silver piercings on his left ear and one silver piercing on his right. His bangs are kept just above his eyebrows and his grey eyes. He has a squarish jaw and also has faint rosy cheeks and light freckles.

## Personality

Ronald may come off as intimidating or scary due to his height and muscular body structure, but he is actually very sweet and appreciates the little things. He respects adults and his peers if they treat him or others well. He is also a very curious person who is observant and loves to gossip, despite hardly speaking.

## History

Currently, Ronald's family is unknown. Despite being weak in the language, he states that his mother is English. He also has a sister with no confirmed age.

## Relationships

### **Jackson Smith**

Ronald is not fond of Jackson at first since he believes him to steal Pamela's skirt. After the confusion is cleared out, Ron sees Jackson as a good man and they soon become friends. However, due to the conflict between Jackson and the REDs, they end up with a lot of tension between them. As of late, they aren't on bad terms but aren't close enough to be considered friends anymore.

### **David Miller**

Ronald becomes friends with David and Exer, and the three are soon known throughout the school as the *Reds*. Ron supports David when he needs it, and helps to cheer him up when he isn't feeling the best. They are good friends.

In Episode 52, Ronald found out about David's sexuality and his feelings for his best friend when he accidentally caught David sniffing Exer's jacket when Exer left the room. Ronald then entered the room with food as if he did not see anything, as he realized that acknowledging something like this would scare David. Ronald does not show indifference to David. A few chapters later, Ron tells David that he knows about his feelings for Exer. David is horrified, and tries to deny it, but eventually accepts it and tells Ron that he totally understands if Ron thinks they should no longer be friends. Ron thinks nothing of the sort, and after this, they become closer than before.

### **Exer Campbell**

Ronald becomes friends with David and Exer, and the three are soon known throughout the school as *The Reds*. Early in the story, Ron eavesdropped on a conversation between Jackson and his Tia and Tio but misunderstood many things. Ronald told Exer what he heard because Ron thought Jackson liked Pamela or Brenda and he knew that Exer liked Brenda, and Ron knows that Brenda might still like Exer. Ron enjoyed playing matchmaker for Exer and Brenda while they had feelings for each other but didn't take things too far.

### **Brenda Miller**

Ronald and Brenda are good friends, even though their friendship isn't as widely recognized as others. They met very early on in the series, and seem happy to talk to each other when given the chance, although they're not together very often.

Timothy

Ronald and Timothy have a very cute friendship, even though Ron has the impression that Timothy is scared of him. Timothy has an implied crush on Ron, but Ron thinks Tim is scared of him and doesn’t want to force anything on Timothy. Let’s hope we get to see there relationship grow
