Ralph is an intelligent, polite, charming, and musical fellow who takes great joy in playing the piano during his spare time. Rather respectful, he is also an avid listener - be it hearing someone out on whatever they have to say or listening closely to a musical piece for which notes are in use. With that being said, Ralph is best known for his musical ear and will to please others with his skills at the emotion-evoking percussion instrument. Apart from music, Ralph is not a very serious Aurikan, and will occasionally and casually (but charmingly) slip little jokes into everyday conversations. Notably, Ralph also has a love for good books that he claims to "maintain intellect", having pleasure in learning new facts about nearly any subject. Ralph is a strong believer in the effects of music, too, as he had grown up listening to music and learning about music theory.

L i f e ;;While casual and rather ordinary, Ralph's life is a happy and satisfying one. As one may have guessed, Ralph's focus in life is almost primarily centered on music and its elements - being a pianist who plays jazzy, calming pieces at fancy places. Not only is Ralph a pianist who takes great joy in playing for people, but he is also incredibly passionate about sharing his knowledge of music with those who are inquisitive enough to ask. Day to day, Ralph's schedule is rather small and easy to get through - only including 3 days of work during the week. Ralph practices his piano playing every single day, however, as it is what he enjoys most. After the work days, Ralph spends time sightseeing at the beach, attempting to improve at drawing (which he admittingly doesn't do too often), enjoying the simplicity of the nature around him, reading books, and even watching a bit of television!

✦Music;
Music, above all things, is the most significant of Ralph's interests.
From an early age, music has made him feel a great variety of emotions
of which would assist his mind to get creative. Additionally, the music
would encourage him and lend him motivation to continue working as hard
as he possibly could! Music has allowed Ralph to set important goals
throughout his life - things to look forward to.
✦Flowers;
Playing the piano at fancy places, Ralph has grown to like the lively, colorful
little plants. Especially with roses, Ralph feels like the flowers symbolize
peace under his own perspective - being soft in coloration and pleasing to
the eyes.
✦Art;
Among the pleasures of life, Ralph greatly enjoys artworks. Just as music
is capable of conveying emotions, he believes that artworks can be equally
as effective - making for an especially valuable decoration. As much as Ralph
enjoys artwork, however, he's never really practiced very much - only sometimes
taking up the pencil and paper to sketch a small something every now and then.
✦Flowing rivers;
What really catches Ralph's attention about rivers is the noise that he
absolutely adores. Along with a soothing piano piece, Ralph finds rivers to
be a calming aspect of the world. It isn't only the noise that appeals to him,
however. Like art, rivers are rather beautiful and artistic to Ralph.
✦ Reading;
His second most favorite thing to do aside from playing piano, Ralph enjoys
reading all kinds of texts. As an intellectual individual, however, Ralph also
has quite an appreciation for adequate grammar and vivid word choices in the
texts he reads. Reading has always been able to give Ralph new ideas to think
about, nonetheless - something to fuel his imagination.

✦Loud repetitive buzzing;
Be it the ringing of a microwave or a construction machine, Ralph has no pleasure in listening to one singular note non-stop.
✦Noises in the dark;
While Ralph doesn't mind getting lost in the dark of the night, he tends to be absolutely terrified of the dark when it comes to strange noises that he simply cannot identify. He does not believe in "bed monsters", but it is terrifying nonetheless.
✦Oceans;
As pretty as they are, Ralph has a disliking for the large body of water for the fact that he had been stung by a jellyfish during his first and only visit to the Atlantic Ocean when he was a child.
✦Sugar;
Surprisingly, Ralph is not a fan of sugary foods. Though it is difficult for him to reason why he dislikes the taste, he believes that it may be from the fact that he's grown up eating "the good food" - vegetables, fruits, and meats of variety - and so, his taste buds are not accustomed to such sugary tastes.

He loves cuddling his stuffed bear, Mr. Shnuggles.
