What characteristics does Ralph have in Lord of the Flies chapter 1?

The first Words of the book are, and I quote... "The boy with fair hair." Along with his fair hair you also learn that Ralph has a tendency to stand on his head to express his happiness, perhaps due to an inability to express himself through Words. There is also an impression of reserve about Ralph, Piggy is eager to be friends and offers information about himself but the fair boy prefers to remain aloof and to say little.
