Richard Sutter, known better as "Richie", is the co-star of my picture book.
He is a red fox, 8 years old and lives with Hilda in her mansion. Richie is just like any other little boy; he plays sports, goes to school, loves video games and just being rambunctious.
Hilda is Richie's legal guardian. Because Hilda has so much money, Richie can (theoretically) have anything he wants like all kinds of toys, the latest electronic gadgets, the best clothes, luxury vacations and so on. Of course, Hilda makes sure he isn't spoiled and will lay down the law if Richie gets too greedy or if he breaks any rules.
Being a fox pup, Richie is the audience surrogate as the 5-8 year old demographic (the target of my picture book). Young readers are meant to identify with him.
Watch for more posts soon. I aim to show more of the second draft, talk about the characters' homeland and discuss my Kickstarter more in detail.
