Ricky

Click here to see quotes from Ricky.
**Ricky** is one of the main protagonists of *Sammy & Co* and its prequel film *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*. He is a student in Lulu's class in the reef village located in the Southern Seas, and a grandson of Ray and Rita.

## Appearance

Ricky is a baby gray leatherback sea turtle with gray flippers, gray carapace, and blue eyes.

## Personality

Ricky is an adventurous little sea turtle with a big dream of being a famous explorer like his grandfather Ray. Very courageous, fearless, and curious, he wants to explore the world beyond his boundary, hunt for treasure, and become a hero. Ricky is very confident and impulsive, ready for anything, and up for any challenges he has to face in his path. He also tends to be mischievous, boastful, and reckless at times due to his pride and ego which often leads him into trouble with his friends.

But despite his pride and sometimes impudence, Ricky is a born leader and an excellent loyal friend to Ella, Pipo, and Annabel. He is not afraid to fight for his opinion and for those he cares about deeply. Ricky is very protective and empathetic, especially towards Ella, whom he has a crush on, and he always defends her when someone teases her. He has a sensitive ego whenever someone offends his pride, and he is ready to accept any challenge to prove his bravery.

Since his grandfather is one of the founders as well as leaders of the reef village, Ricky is also very protective of his home and because of his loyalty, he and his friends would often have to foil Big Boss's many schemes from taking over the village. Ricky even once pretended to join Big Boss's side in order to figure out one of his plans so he could foil it without him knowing, as seen in "Ricky's Betrayal".
