member group: Civilian
occupation: "I am the general manager for the Never Ending Stories Bookstore. Its apart of a chain of Mundie stores but the Owner, Mr.Ending, never visits our location for some reason...so I've never really met him and only have ever talked to him on the phone. He's happy as long as the numbers stay high and correct. I do pretty much everything there, the ordering, the stocking of shelves, customer service (even though I lack most social skills) and other such things...actually I think I might look into hiring as well."

overall personality: Poor Roderick, that's what most people (mainly housewives) would say about this white rabbit. The boy has high anxieties and social phobias, so "poor Roderick" is right most of the time. Maybe its his high levels of energy, coffee does nothing for this kid because always naturally awake, its hard for him to go to sleep! Although the most logical reason most would say is because he worked for the Red Queen for so long! Having your boss chopping everyone's heads' off left and right can be a bit nerve racking after a little while.

However, while Roderick is nervous, that isn't the main part of his personality. With friends he is utterly loyal. The sidekick if you will. And he is perfectly happy playing sidekick because its low anxiety ridden with the only responsibility and burden being the shoulder to cry on or the moral support. He's loyal though, like a dog, which is kidn fo sad at times. He can be walked on like a doormat but he just takes it. Most of his friends have much stronger personalities than he does and they tend to overpower him and keep him as their sidekick.

With girls though, especially girls he finds very attractive, he can hardly talk. He's just a jamble of uh's and ums. He's stutters, his palms sweat, and frankly he kind of gets silly. There have been times where he has completely ignored certain girls because they make him too anxious or he likes them too much. Most of the times when he has reverted back to rabbit form (because of high stress) has been because of a girl. He always second guesses himself and finds himself unworthy.

And no matter what Roderick can do, he is always late. At time he sets important times a half hour before just to trick himself into being on time to something. When in Manager work mode, Roderick is the complete opposite of himself, its like playing a roel for him. He is confident in what he does because he knows books and he can talk to girls because they aren't girls, they are customers. He's a good manager and keeps the store clean and well stocked. He is a whiz with numbers and does most fo his everyday manager numbers in his head. And while Roderick may not be outgoing he does hold a grudge against those who have harmed him, made fun of him, or even did any of those sorts of things to his friends.

pets: none.

overall history: Roderick never really fought in the War, there wasn't much he could do. He was used as a messenger because he was so quick paced but that really it. He was actually apart of the first group of people to enter the New World and to embrace it so much. He loves this new place and has even made some connection with the Mundy (normal people) community outside of Grimmtown. That's how he set up the branch of Never Ending Stories book store in Grimmtown. And that is what he has been doing, hiding in his bookstore and working-working-working.
