One of Richie's greatest fears, aside from clowns and the Teenage Werewolf, seems to be disappearing (i.e., the disappearing poster). It was previously shown that the Derry children were forgotten weeks (or possibly days) after their disappearance, and he seems to fear that he too would be forgotten if he were to disappear, although he could simply be afraid of the implications that disappearing would mean his death. It could also be inferred that Richie is primarily afraid of people finding out about his sexuality, using the metaphors of the clown or the Teenage Werewolf. In the novel and miniseries, Richie is afraid of the Teenage Werewolf in the movie he and his friends watch at the theater. A comparison can be made between the Teenage Werewolf and Richie's hidden sexuality. In the 2017 adaptation, Richie is afraid of clowns. A comparison can be made between the makeup or mask that clowns wear and the mask Richie puts on to hide his sexuality.

As a child, his closest friends were Bill Denbrough, Eddie Kaspbrak, Beverly Marsh, Stan Uris, Mike Hanlon, and Ben Hanscom. Like the others in the Losers Club, he looked up to Bill and was cited as the one who "understood Bill better than anyone." He also thought Beverly was pretty, but perceived her as being the same as any other friend and even thought of her as "one of the guys." He often makes fun of the other Losers, especially Eddie and Bill, though it is usually mutual teasing with Bill as he teases Eddie by referring to him as "Eds" and "Eddie Spaghetti."

He wore thick black glasses and had enormous buck teeth, which earned him the nickname "Bucky Beaver" at school, although the Losers later nicknamed him "Trashmouth" because of his foul language and big mouth, which often got him into trouble. He hated wearing glasses, but found solace in the fact that one of his idols, Buddy Holly, was famous and also wore thick glasses. The other Losers would often use the phrase "beep-beep" when they needed to quiet him down. Although Richie misbehaved in school, he got good grades in addition to his behavior. At one point in the book, Richie accidentally insults Henry Bowers and his gang out loud, resulting in a chase and almost a beating.

Richie is known for his love of doing voices and impressions, although when he was younger most of them were horrible and sounded the same.

She has black hair with small curls, her skin is pale and she usually wears summer clothes, she loves them.

Richie is shown to have had a positive upbringing, knowing how to read his parents like "well-used and well-loved" books. Richie's father, Wentworth, was an intelligent man with a career in dentistry who would happily indulge Richie's interest in "voices", even using some of his son's phrases. While Richie's father considered his son to be somewhat dim, it is made clear that he cares for him and loves him deeply. Richie's mother, Maggie, was kind and attempted to understand her son, but experienced some difficulties due to Richie's gender. She goes so far as to wish Richie had been born a girl so she could better understand some of the things he does, demonstrating her desire to be a good mother to him. Although Richie's parents may fail at times, they are not as harsh as the other parents in Derry, who demonstrate great abuse and neglect towards their children (i.e., Eddie's domineering, isolating, and manipulative mother, Bill's neglectful parents, Beverly's perverted father, etc.).

He is bisexual, meaning he likes both boys and girls.
