Ridley Hatteras

WIP!!

### Killer Style

I love showing my school pride, so I usually wear the uniforms I get from the sports I participate in, mixed with a pair of stylish new shoes.

### Favorite Activity

Football practice. It's a great excuse to watch the fearleading team practice their stunts.

### Biggest Pet Peeve

When monsters gossip. I've heard all sorts of unsavory things in the halls at my old school. It's tiring and just plain rude to listen to false claims about your friends.

### Fav School Subject

Dead languages. It's so cool to study up on old languages and confuse my friends with phrases in those languages.

### Least Fav Subject

History of the Undead. It's in the past, so why should we still have to learn about it?

### BFFs

Gil Webber and Lagoona Blue, Deuce Gorgon, Malachy Norman

## Biography

### Personality

Ridley had always been raised to be a confident sea monster, much like his father. Tough and unapologetic. Unfortunately for his father, the sea monster grew up to be a quiet and empathetic son. Ridley often serves as a therapist for his friends, listening to thier issues and suggesting ways to fix any problems they encounter. He's an animal lover and a caring friend, always checking in with his teammates after practice in case they got injured on the field. His favorite thing to do is watch the fearleaders across the field practice their stunts. He's always had a twinge of jealousy for how talented they all are.

### Appearance

Ridley is a pale blue sea monster with blue, transparent fins on his arms and legs, and a mohawk of seasnakes on the top of his head. His eyes are a deep sea green. He wears a Monster High letterman jacket over a blue hoodie, with black swim shorts with a wave pattern. He also has a pair of blue and silver fresh kicks by *Spike*.

### History

#### Outer Banks Junior High

Ridley had an affinity for athletics from a young age, which led him to try out for almost all the sports at Outer Banks. Unluckily for him, he didn't make any of the teams, mainly because his tryout performance was rubbish. Ridley was never one for working well under pressure. While he made none of the teams based on performance alone, he did make the football team out of nepotism. Ridley's Father, Cape Hatteras, a seasnake gorgon, was the football coach and demanded his son make the team. Ridley was placed in the quarterback position, and was a huge star at his school. Girls fawned over the young manster, and boys as well. Ridley was never interested in either team, because his eye had always been set on the short sea monster he'd see across the field at practice: Malachy Norman.

Football practice was always tough, since Cape was always the hardest on his son. Whenever he needed to destress after getting a lecture on the field, the sea monster would just turn toward the fearleaders doing their tricks, and often made eye contact with Malachy himself. It was an easy dynamic, though the monsters didn't interact much aside from thier shared looks during practice.

At the end of the year game, Malachy had his accident with the harpoon, and couldn't stand being in the water for fear of what was waiting for him once he poked his head above the waves. Feeling horrible for the experience, Ridley made sure he visited the sea monster while he was resting and recovering in a cove at his home. The two exchanged numbers and promised to keep in contact once the year was through.

#### High Seas High

After finishing Outer Banks Junior High, Ridley moved on to High Seas High, a school for sea monsters and others alike. The young sea monster immediately tried out for the football team, placing in his infamous role of quarterback. He and Mal hadn't kept in touch as much as they'd promised, but the two would exchange life updates here and then during the school year.

During his second year at High Seas, Monster High contacted the Hatteras home about their child's outstanding atheltic performance, and suggested a boarding program they were working on for the young manster. Cape and his wife, Celia, decided that the sports boarding program would kickstart their son to a life of success, so they eagerly accepted the transfer and sent their son away.

#### Monster High

It was only after the transfer did Ridley realize that Malachy had also transfered to Monster High, accomodating for his fear of the water. The sea monster became close friends with Deuce and Gil, both of them relating to either half of his scareitige. The three often study together and hang out outside of their classes, Deuce and Gil often teasing Ridley for his very obvious crush on the Lake Norman sea monster.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Father

##### Cape Hatteras

Cape Hatteras is the sea monster that guards the lighthouse of the same name. He is a seasnake gorgon, with long hair made of cyan seasnakes, and a lime skintone with fins of the same transparent color. He's a very harsh and quiet manster, demanding his only son be the exact same. He searches for confidence in all the monsters he meets, and has little empathy for those who don't meet his standards. He was the star football player at Outer Banks Junior High, and went on to become the gym coach at the school due to his success. He raised Ridley to be his replica, and hasn't accepted his son is anything but.

#### Mother

##### Celia Hatteras

Celia is a much more submissive sea monster, never interfering in her husband's parenting style for her son. When things are slow in the home, or when Ridley needs someone to talk to, he often goes to Celia to destress and talk out his issues, until his father interrupts the two. The woman is a pale blue seamonster with pink fins, earning her the nickname "Cotton Candy" in high school.

### Friends

#### Gil Webber and Lagoona Blue

During his first year at Monster High, Ridley was struggling with fitting into his classes with no friends. A freshwater fish, Gil Webber, introduced Ridley to his girlfriend, Lagoona, who immediately took a liking to the seasnake gorgon. The two bonded over their fondness for athletics, Ridley spilling his guts about his crush, and Lagoona fawning over her own boyfriend. The two meet up weekly to gossip about their lives and updates on their favorite mansters.

#### Deuce Gorgon

Trying out for sports at Monster High was rough, since they didn't have a football team like Outer Banks or High Seas. A popular gorgon eventually came to the sea monster's rescue, however, introducing Ridley to casketball. Deuce, his name was, brought Ridley out to the court, tossing the ball to the manster and helping him on his form, eventually helping him try out for the team. Ridley succeeded in his attempt to join the casketball team, and was introduced to tons more friends after his joining.

### Romance

Malachy Norman caught Ridley's eye the moment he entered Outer Banks Junior High. The two barely spoke, but the gorgon is determined to kickstart their romance now that he's transferred to Monster High.

## Trivia

* Ridley's least favorite sport is swimming. Not because he doesn't like to swim, but because he thinks the sport is plain boring.
* His favorite weather is when it rains.
