Physical Description: Brown skin, brown hair, brown eyes. Her hair, much like her school robes, is always in disarray because she's too busy being loud and ridiculous to fix it. She likes to say she's 4'11" but even in her tallest pair of shoes she only hits 4'6". She's got scuffed elbows and grass stains on her knees from messing around outside.

Mental Description: Ro is pretty much always smiling and always down to try and make a friend-- though she tends to scare them off with her overeagerness. Only being around elders and being homeschooled didn't make much in the way of friends. Which is why Roark is overeager when it comes to her peers. She's the first to volunteer for a challenge and always down to do a dare no matter how dangerous or silly it is. Some would call her reckless but her grandmother just calls her adventurous.

Biography: Roark was born to Rose Chapel who didn't want to be a mother. So Rose did the only thing she could; she named the baby after her deceased father (in hopes that it would endear her mother to the babe) and left the baby in the care of her mother.

Eunice Chapel was a retired eccentric old woman intent on becoming the neighborhood crazy lady before Roark came along. To support herself and the new kid she was suddenly in charge of, she became a WAVON representative (like AVON but for witches) and successfully supported them through that and her bingo winnings.

Roark was brought up in bingo halls gossiping with little old ladies, watching her grandmother battle it out in HOA meetings, and elbow-deep in the dirt of her grandmother's garden.

First Instance of Magic: Roark was two years old when she fell down the stairs. Instead of hitting each step as she rolled down, the toddler bounced off the steps like a ball and eventually made it down to the landing, completely unhurt and giggling.
