Rigel

Rigel is the third star that Sun Kirby has drawn in this star drawing series. In his own opinion, Sun Kirby believes that Rigel is adorable and should be loved at all times. Rigel is the son of Antares in Scorpius, although his mother is unknown. His caretakers are Betelgeuse and R136a1. Because he cannot remember anything from when he was in Scorpius, Rigel believes that R136a1 is his mother, despite her being younger than Rigel, at only 1 million years old. Rigel rivals Deneb as the brightest first-magnitude star, although their rivalry is more friendly than hostile. Rigel has grown so close to Betelgeuse that when he learned about his supernova, he was heartbroken. At only 8 million years old, Rigel is currently at his blue supergiant phase. In a few million years, he will become a red supergiant just like Betelgeuse. Rigel has a very childish personality, [which adds to his cuteness. —Sun Kirby] being very energetic and playful with other stars.

Rigel’s Gallery
Due to him being a “fan favorite” of Sun Kirby, and having a very simplistic design, Rigel has been frequently featured in Sun Kirby's artworks.
