              SOFT-SPOKEN
              xxx»» Roland is a quiet child, which is a far cry from what he was like as an infant. Somewhere around age four, he suddenly withdrew into himself. Not in a bad way, necessarily, it just became apparent that he wasn't particularly keen on talking overmuch. When he does speak, he chooses his words carefully, and rarely raises his voice. He's not exactly timid, but he's certainly cautious with how he speaks to others.

              CURIOUS
              xxx»» Roland likes to explore things, to read and to study and to observe. He has trouble focusing on any one thing in particular because there's always something else to capture his attention. He tries to absorb everything, but the sheer magnitude of the things he finds interesting overwhelms him. His memory is somewhat faulty as a result, and he frequently gets himself confused and flustered when he realizes he'd forgotten something he deems important.

              FUNNY
              xxx»» Roland discovered at a very early age that he likes to make people laugh. In his early years, he found it easy and exceptionally gratifying to earn a chuckle simply for being cute and making a mess. He was always careful to act out in ways that earned him a laugh rather than a punishment. As he's gotten older, he's learned the value of puns and funny riddles, though he often fails at properly delivering the punchline. Still, for a child of seven, even the attempt can manage to make someone snicker a little, if only to indulge him and reward him for his efforts.

              ACTIVE
              xxx»» Roland doesn't like to be still, unless he has a book in his hand. Even while watching the telly, he's often standing on his feet, imitating the battles his favorite heroes are engaged in. When not occupied with either of these activities, he likes to run, or climb. It was only through sheer luck that his mother discovered he likes to play football, and thanked the heavens that there was something somewhat organized he could channel his energy towards.

              KIND
              xxx»» Roland is a sweet boy, always quick with a compliment for a stranger on the street or to offer a helping hand, even if he's really too small or too young to actually be much help. He enjoys making other people smile. He also has a penchant for bringing stray animals home, which would be quite fine if they were only cats and the occasional small dog, but he's not above bringing a snake in from the backyard 'because it's lonely'. If he had his way, his room would be a small zoo, filled to bursting with all the creatures he'd collected.

              ADAPTABLE
              xxx»» Roland doesn't worry overmuch about the status quo, and as such is quite capable of dealing with things when it is suddenly altered. Some changes, those he doesn't much care for, are met with a bit of crying and perhaps a small fit, but for the most part he accepts them and moves on. He's a very optimistic child, and firmly believes things are going to work out for the best, even if he doesn't like how things are going at the moment.

              CHILDHOOD
              xxx»» Roland is the youngest of three children, though he is only half-related to his siblings. His only sister Ivy is the oldest, and he went the first few years of his life without having known of her beyond his mother occasionally asking after her, and the photos in his father's office. His older brothers, on the other hand, were constants in his life, though he often wondered if he wouldn't have rather it been the other way around. From what he heard, he thought he might get along much better with his sister than he did with them, because they were a constant thorn in his side. However, it seemed she wanted nothing to do with his family, which he was always sad about. His father was quite secretive where she was concerned, which made her something of an unsolvable mystery as far as the curious young boy was concerned.
              xxx»»The oddity of his almost non-existent sister aside, his childhood was fairly typical, though he often wished he could make his brothers leave him alone. Of course, he never thought it was possible, right up until the day he slammed the door behind him to escape Antoine. Normally, this only bought him a few seconds, but on this particular day, the door wouldn't so much as budge when the teenager tried to get through it. Roland was locked in his room without means of escape for what felt like several hours after that, the door refusing to budge no matter who tried to open it. It finally opened at around nine o'clock that night, with no trouble whatsoever, as if they'd all imagined it staying stuck shut for the better part of the day. After that, he noticed his father giving him odd looks constantly, and worried that something was wrong. But, they never spoke of the incident, and Roland was happy to pretend it never happened, scary as it had been.
              xxx»» Unfortunately, as he grew older, he was more and more aware of the fact that, ever since the incident, his father had been behaving strangely towards him, becoming somewhat distant. He spent less and less time with Roland, who wasn't sure what had happened, only that he'd apparently done something wrong to upset his father. It wasn't long before suddenly his sister was around a lot more often, until one day she came by the house while his parents weren't home, and took him to her flat. He'd been there before, of course, but only for a few hours at a time. This time was different; Ivy told him about his magic, and explained to him that she was magic, too, and that it was better for him to stay with her. He was resistant at first, not understanding why he couldn't be with his parents. Eventually, he got so upset over everything that Ivy relented and told him the full truth, that their father had left her mother because of her being magical, and that he didn't like magic. Roland had suspected that the incident was the reason his father was unhappy with him, but knowing it for a fact was different. He isolated himself for a while, but eventually grew more comfortable living with Ivy and Joel.
              xxx»» Of course, he liked it much better when Ivy married Vio, and they moved in with her. Vio was quieter, more thoughtful, and he liked her very much, partially because she didn't seem to feel the need to fill silences with random and sometimes anxious conversation, the way his sister did. Meanwhile, the girls prepared him for going to Hogwarts, a school where he was told he would learn all about magic and how to be a wizard. He wasn't sure how he felt about learning more about the thing that made his dad abandon him, but he was curious enough to give it a shot.

              SCHOOL YEARS
                  FIRST YEAR »» Roland's first year was more or less focused on investing himself in the wizarding world. He kept to his studies, mostly, though he did make one very good friend in his housemate Lucas Morris. He also tried out for the Quidditch team, which his sister complained about quite loudly and with no real ire over the holidays.
