-Flattery
Dislikes:

Personality:
-Ralph constantly acts very snobbish. And still sees nothing wrong about it.
-He's spoiled and immature too. Prone to sulking and randomly throwing fits :I
-He tries his best to be as poker-faced as possible, his grandmother told him to, but is very expressive despite himself.
-He's very loyal, though: Once a friend, always a friend and worthy of help.
-He's also pretty trustworthy; will keep your secrets and his word. Unless his grandmother orders him not to =^=
-Known for sticking to the rules almost as much as he sticks for his friends. Rules are to be kept
-On the other hand, he's not as persistent on the completion of tasks. He does start them very enthusiastically, but when they prove to be too hard to accomplish, or plain out boring he'll most likely give it up. Unless it'd mean being scolded by his grandmother.
-Despite refusing to admit it and constantly trying to seem realistic, he's actually an hopeless romantic.
-I wasn't expecting him to turn out this way, but it looks like he can't focus on many things at a time. When he's thinking about something, any parallel piece of information just passes him by.
Background:
Ralph grew up in Daro, as the only son in a rather wealthy family of merchants by whom he was spoiled rotten. His father loved to gift him with the most beautiful curiosities he found, and his mother dedicated all of her time outside work to pamper him and help in his studies, praising him endlessly for everything he'd do right. Their employees would never raise a hand against him. Even his friends, most of which were children of people who needed to have a good relationship with his family, had to resist even the urge to criticize his nasty attitude and use flattery to please him instead. This lack of opposition on his early childhood had him grow self-centered and ignorant. Ralph always believed he'd take over the family business without ever even knowing very well what it was about.
At the age of twelve, however, a new married couple with no attachment to his family's business came to be his neighbor, and with them their daughter, a young pisces his age, named Ilise. Unlike his previous acquaintances, she wouldn't tolerate Ralph's lack of respect for herself and her family, having even hit him on several events. She also made a point to remind him that his parents' success and power had not been earned by himself and were, therefore, not his own. His encounters with her were usually followed by a long period of sulking, as it had been a first for the young Aries who'd been, so far, sheltered. Along with this came his mother's second pregnancy, and his family, which had had their worries now increased, had no longer the time for the pampering he was used to. Ralph reacted to this by growing moodier, and his parents came to be more wary of his personality flaws and scold him for them. After a couple of specially rough arguments with his family, Ralph finally understood that he might not be quite as perfect as he thought.
Deciding he'd take drastic measures, Ralph willingly moved in with his grandmother, a scary lady who lived alone in Rocaberty where she owned a small natural products shop. He wanted to re-plan his life. And once there, he found himself forbidden to give it up, as his grandmother was not as lenient with quitters as his closer family. The elderly lady proved to be a great and respected, though very strict, mentor, and made him correct much of his obnoxious personality. "Much", though clearly not all of it. She also focused on teaching him about the merchandise she sold, and a bit of improvised pharmacology, turning him into a valuable help in the shop as she grew older and tired. Ralph did feel himself improve, and now intends to stay with her, studying, until his family can be proud (and Ilise can be jealous) of the Apothecary and person he's become.
He's still pretty far from getting there, though.
Accessories:
-Grandma's "diary": A book that was supposed to have started as an old lady's diary. And, out of a lack of events to write about, soon became a complete and detailed inventory of her shop's merchandise. Also contains a couple of recipes for potions, instructions on how to properly brew tea and random gossiping.
-Backpack: Small and good for carrying whatever he feels he may need. Empty except for wallet and diary most of the time since Ralph dislikes carrying heavy weights.
Miscellaneous
-Despite having improved greatly with his grandmother's teachings, he still thinks nothing's wrong with telling people they're unworthy of breathing the same air as him and does believe they should tend to his every whim.
-Even when he actually wants to get along with said people.
-Yet, he'd be heartbroken if someone were to tell him the same.
-He loves to be flattered, and that's a fast way to get along with him.
-He has a bit of a problem with lack of hygiene or of sanitary conditions.
-His arm and leg hair tends to curl.
-He's always cold and grows sick easily.
-His grandmother is a deity-like existence to him. He wouldn't dream of disobeying her frontally and will behave around her pretty much as if she was almighty. Arguments stating that she's the same as everyone else and should be treated as such sound illogical to him.
-His screams of fear, anger or surprise kind of sound like bleats.
Acquaintances:
Guys, I now regret making such a rude character. Don't hate me for him, I love all of your characters! QAQ
Angulus : "He's a very odd, and certainly insane Fish-like guy. Honestly, he was fine with being hijacked! Who would behave in such a way?!"
Casper :"This guy seemed pretty normal when compared to those surrounding him. But, somehow, after he saw that Ash guy he seemed to turn, well, scarier... Maybe its no wonder... I mean, just look at his job!"
Ashqar :"The lowest kind of scum I had yet met! This bastard actually tried to steal my clothes! MY CLOOOTHES!"
Noelee :"A Sagittarius I saw on my way to grandma's place. Is a bit monkey-like when it comes to agility. At least, she had the decency answer my question... And she kind of walked me home..."
Orianthe : "A not-very-knowledgeable-about-tea's-whereabouts yet, kind of nice, I guess, lady."
Melissa : "A rude, classless, and unnecessarily tall red-haired weirdo. I'd admit she was brave because of plunging into that alley, hadn't I been first in line! Oh, and almost forgot, turns out she's also a bit of a drunkard."
Fisk : "Talking about weirdoes, this one sure takes the cake. Still, he was extremely useful. In less than nothing, he found the whereabouts of Terein and Ilissence tea. Oh, he was on that hijacking incident. Wonder how he got out of that one?"
Aslam : "Seems like a pretty decent Zodiac. He kindly gave me a pocket knife just because I seemed,(and I AM, mind you) nice. He does frequent taverns, though."
Sinaaq : "I will, for obvious reasons, refrain from commenting on this guy's pet. Other than that, I guess he's pretty normal, for whatever messed up standards we seem to have around here. Maybe I could even say he's kind of nice. He did carry grandma's stove all the way to the store without complaining."
Rossemir :"I guess this guy kind of minds his manners. Also, he's not ridiculously huge like some of the other weirdoes I've seen around."

Thank you ;A;
Actually, his nose is a bit off the guidelines.
I fail at noses
But I can't see why not try anyway. Some races have less guidelines than others! I'm sure your application would be amazing-er!
