 | Draiks are Bad at Math is an ongoing comic series created for the Neopian Times. It follows the exploits of a white draik named Ralvy and her various friends, rivals, and family. |
Primary Characters
 | Ralvy Ralvy works as a guard at Meridell Castle. She takes her job very seriously despite not being in charge of guarding anything particularly important. She has a "look before you leap" sort of personality and is prone to overreaction, which often lands her in trouble. She loyally supports Meridell in all of its endeavors and enjoys fighting in the battledome with her friends. |
 | Tilbur Tilbur is a young student from Brightvale who was sent by his university to study at Meridell Castle. He's very book smart but also shy and lacks confidence. Because of this, Ralvy takes him under her wing to protect him from bullies. He's eager to tag along and be included in anything she's doing even if he doesn't always understand her antics. |
 | Surabar (owned by luc187) Sura and Ralvy started out as rivals but eventually became good friends through their shared love of Meridell and the battledome. He comes from a wealthy upbringing and is spoiled, which sometimes leads to him butting heads with a very thrifty Ralvy. He's a jock through and through (with a personality to match) who enjoys battling and Yooyuball. |

The Barracks
Ralvy was an orphan who was raised collectively by the Meridell castle guard. She never had a stable home, and as a child often temporarily stayed with various guards and their families. Once she was old enough to be given her job at the castle, she was also allowed a permanent place to sleep at a nearby barracks used for knights-in-training. Lately she's been crashing on a friend's couch more than sleeping at the barracks.
-----------------
Beadut's Castle
Surabar was raised by his "brother" Buzz, a Meridellian knight who found Sura's unhatched egg after the 2nd Meridell war. Buzz is currently on retainer for a reclusive noblewoman named Beadut, who owns a castle in a secluded part of Meridell. Beadut's castle is where Sura was raised, and he still spends time there even after moving out.
