Despite Ron's typical portrayal as being clumsy and physically ineffective, he has throughout the series exhibited numerous examples of exemplary athleticism. During Ron's considerable time as Kim's sidekick, he gained experience in many of the widely varied methods of transport that she did. In particular, Ron was often seen SCUBA diving, skydiving, and mountain climbing.

History: Ron Stoppable is the best friend, sidekick, and later, boyfriend of teen hero Kim Possible. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable (first names unknown), a Jewish couple living in Middleton.

Ron's friendship with Kim began when they were in pre-kindergarten. They've gone trick-or-treating every year since then (the first time, Kim went as a cowboy, and Ron as a ballerina), until their first year of high school. Ron wanted to go with Kim as a horse (in a two-person horse costume), but Kim wanted to attend her friend Monique's Halloween party. Ron ended up going with Josh Mankey, Kim's crush at the time.

Ron was on the cheer squad with Kim their first 3 years of high school, playing the part of the Middleton Mad-Dog. When he first proposed the Mad-Dog character, the other cheerleaders didn't think much of it, and Kim - the squad captain - was herself reluctant to allow him onto the squad. But after an incident with Dr. Drakken (a former classmate of her father who turned evil after Dr. Possible and his friends laughed at Drakken [then Drew Lipsky]), Kim let him show off his Mad-Dog character at a basketball halftime. The crowds loved him, and he continued being the Mad-Dog until his senior year.

Ron's pet is a naked mole-rat named Rufus, named after Ron's invisible friend he had when he was four years old. He had to narrow his choice of pets to hairless pets, as his father is allergic to all types of fur. Rufus was purchased at the Middleton Smarty Mart, and goes almost everywhere with Ron, nesting in a pocket of Ron's cargo pants.

Ron and his family are somewhat observant in their practice of Judaism. Ron has passed his bar mitzvah, and used the certificate his rabbi presented to him as part of a collage about his life. However, Rabbi Katz forgot to sign it, which Mr. Barkin (subbing for the normal teacher) said invalidated Ron's passage to manhood. Ron later coincidentally met up with Katz in Las Vegas during a mission. Katz discounted Barkin's assessment of the unsigned certificate, assuring Ron that he was indeed a man. Other aspects of Judaism, such as following the laws of kashrut (keeping kosher), are not observed. For example, Ron eats quite often at Bueno Nacho, whose menu items clearly violate the prohibition of eating meat and dairy products together. He also once joked to the lunchroom lady about "calling ahead for the kosher meal", but then accepting the standard mystery meat meal.

Ever since Kim had began doing missions, Ron had been her sidekick. Ron has also had his share of solo adventures. Because of his exposure to the monkey idols, the Sensei of the Yamanachi School (a secret ninja high school in Japan) arranged to have Ron as an exchange student. He did this so that Ron can help fight Monkey Fist, who has stolen the Lotus Blade, a mystical weapon that is only controllable by those exposed to the mystical monkey idols. Just as Ron is overlooked by Kim's nemeses, so too Monkey Fist overlooked Rufus. Rufus, being in Ron's pocket at the time, was also exposed to the mystical monkey powers. He is also able to control the Lotus Blade, and helps to defeat Monkey Fist.

Ron is usually unsuccessful with girls, but not for lack of trying. He eventually has a brief relationship with Zita Flores, a ticket girl at the movie theatre. He is also oblivious to whether girls like him. In their junior year, Kim revealed to Ron that another cheerleader, Kara, had liked him. Also, a girl at The Yamanachi School, Yori, likes Ron, which Kim also pointed out to him when he encounters her again.

At the end of their junior year, Kim and Ron realize their attraction to each other, and began dating. As the senior year begans, Ron was afraid of losing Kim, and "secretly borrowed" her super suit (an invention of Wade's that eventually proves to be unreliable) to win the quarterback position. After his deceit is revealed, he admits this to the coach, Mr. Barkin, who "punishes" him by making him the running back.

During their senior year, Ron's parents adopted a baby which they named Hana. She was actually the incarnation of an ancient weapon, the Han, and was secretly presented for adoption by Sensei. Ron initially feels threatened by her, being used to being an only child, but quickly comes to love Hana. While baby-sitting her, Ron believed he was just playing games with her. But he was unknowingly training her to defend herself, when the opposite weapon, the Yono, appeared. She defeated Yono and Monkey Fist, and returned to life as the youngest Stoppable.

Roleplay Sample: Trying to be as quiet as he could, Ron found himself to be a bit more nervous than usual. It was dark, and the sound of creatures that were pitter-pattering across the corridor gave him the absolute creeps. He just hoped that there weren't any spiders crawling around in her. Biting his tongue on that thought, he took a deep breath and reached out into the darkness, just hoping that Kim wasn't too far ahead. "Uh, hey, K-P?" he whispered. "I don't like where this is going..."

Feeling something shifting in his pocket, his mole-rat, Rufus immediately popped up and crawled up his shirt and sat on his shoulder, sniffing around. "Oh, good. I keep forgetting you see in the dark. Will you please be my eyes?" Ron sighed. As the little critter squeaked, Ron rolled his eyes. "Right, you're an animal, you don't get what I'm trying to say."

Well, you're just adorable. Your rat though is a different story. Though they're fascinating creatures. For one, they're one of the few species that can't naturally get cancer. *pager goes off* And as usual, someone's dying. Welcome to SHIELD!
