At least Roxy had some form of parental figures/companions with all the Chess Piece People on her floating suburbia. Dirk has nothing. No physical contact of any kind other than those trying to murder him. So…I think out of all 8 kids here, both Alpha and Beta, Dirk has the worst end of the stick. And while Jake/Jade were more/less alone too, they at least have animal companions, and a non-apocalyptic life while growing up.
