Voice Actor: Yuri Lowenthal

Description:

"A novice Shepherd who looks and acts like a child. While this endears him to the others, he hates being treated as anything less than an equal. He sees Chrom as a brother. The most popular with cute animals."

As one of the youngest members of Chrom's army, Ricken is a typical child, yet he hates being treated as such. Ricken seeks to grow up as quickly as possible, though he is overly sensitive about his height. Despite his young age he is quite studious, able to learn and grow from everyone in the army and soon realizes that he is growing up in his own way. He is worried about his family since his motivations to remain in Chrom's army is to bring his family back to good stature. He also looks up to Chrom as his role model and constantly tries to prove his worth.

He is distasteful of killing however, as seen in his support conversations, claiming to fight out of necessity or because he has to kill them before they kill him, with his supports with Lissa and Henry emphasizing this. When Henry talks about the lives of his former comrades killed by the Shepherds, Ricken becomes distressed at the fact that it reminded him of the fact that the Plegians weren't "faceless blobs".
