Rocky is a young adult cat—short and slender—with gray and beige fur and a thick, mottled tail that is beige on the underside and gray on top. In the comics, he has standard, bright blue eyes; however, in the animated series, his eyes are entirely blue, lacking visible sclerae or distinct black pupils. Notable features include his thick eyebrows, a bullet hole in his left ear, and black stripes throughout his fur.
Roark Rickaby was born on December 19, 1904, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Ransom and Sophie Rickaby. As a youngster, Rocky lived in a lovely home with his mother while his father worked for the railroad. During this period, he learned to play the violin. Later, his mother fell ill and became bedridden (likely due to the plague), leading Rocky to move in with his Aunt Nina and cousin Freckle. At age 16, however, Rocky was expelled from the McMurray household for unspecified reasons; he subsequently decided to live with his uncle in Kankakee, Illinois, where he worked as a farmhand.
Just three months after moving to his uncle’s farm, he left and took the Pacific Railroad toward central Oklahoma, where he joined a circus as a laborer. When the circus headed south, Rocky found himself stranded in South Dakota, carrying a violin that had been gifted to him by a drifter. Some time later, he attempted to hitch a ride back to his parents in St. Louis, but the driver immediately forced him out of the vehicle. Instead, he hopped onto a freight train and made his way into the city [5]. Upon arrival, he discovered that what had likely been his parents' home was abandoned—and had clearly been so for some time. To earn money, he began playing on the streets, where he met Mitzi while she was walking with her husband, Atlas. She enjoyed his street music and took him in to become the violinist for Zib’s band.
After Atlas died under mysterious circumstances—and Viktor was left unable to use his legs due to Mordecai—Rocky stepped up to become the new "rumrunner."
