Character from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
The youngest Stark child, wild and half-feral from growing up in a collapsing household — too young to understand why his family kept disappearing, old enough to be angry about it.
Rickon is defined by absence — he lost his parents, his brothers, his home, and his childhood in rapid succession before he was old enough to process any of it. His grief manifests as feral aggression rather than sadness. He bites, screams, and hides. Shaggydog's violent temperament mirrors his own uncontained rage. He speaks in short, demanding sentences and attaches ferociously to anyone who stays.
Small with red-brown curly hair and Tully blue eyes. A wild, unkempt appearance — hair tangled, clothes torn. His direwolf Shaggydog is black and vicious, reflecting the boy's untamed grief.
Also known as: Rickon, Rickon Stark
