Physical Description: Roman is pretty much the most average looking 11 year old boy in England. He's 4'9 (around 144 cm), with deep brown eyes, messy hair of the same color, and pale skin. The only slightly discerning thing about him is the small mole just below his left eye.

Mental Description: Roman is rather introverted. If someone opens up to him, he's not going to run away, but he sure wasn't the one who initiated that conversation. He really values his alone time (notably sleeping). He is definitely quite brave, but this trait doesn't tend to manifest itself in battles or confrontations- moreso in his quiet integrity, in always being willing to stick on the side of things that he truly believes will do the most good, no matter how many people will hate him for it. Building on this, he's very loyal. As said, he finds it difficult to begin friendships, but once he really knows the person, he'll do anything for them and genuinely try to be the best friend he can be. Despite him being willing to anger thousands of strangers if what he's doing is for the greater good, he has a strong fear of disappointing those close to him and will often try to overcompensate and go out of his way to show them he's "worthy", even if this means he may abandon his values (this stems solely from his upbringing).

Biography: Roman's parents aren't bad, persay. They love him, no matter how bad at showing that they are sometimes. See, ever since Hogwarts was founded, the Burnett family has attended as Slytherins. Every last one of them. His parents, his grandparents, his two older brothers, Ethan and Asher. It was always simply expected that Roman would be a Slytherin. Because, well, what other option was there? The Burnett parents (Harrison and Theodora) made it their mission to install their values of tradition, hard work, intelligence, and ambition into their sons, and made it no secret that they saw the other houses as inferior to Slytherin. While Roman loves his family, they are, to say the least, stifling. He's shown love through achievement, not warmth, and is constantly scared to put a foot out of line for fear of letting them, and his entire bloodline, down. His brothers Ethan and Asher are 19 year old twins and have both graduated from Hogwarts.

First Instance of Magic: Roman was 4 years old, and his parents were off doing who knows what, leaving him with just his preteen brothers. Next thing he knew, Ethan and Asher whisked him off to their mum's bathroom and begun applying lipstick, mascara, blush, anything they could find onto their little brother. Roman resisted and resisted but couldn't break free- he finally got so sick of it that dozens of makeup appliances started hurtling around the room, smacking his brothers repeatedly and causing them to flee, screaming and clutching their faces. Roman's still rather proud of this moment.
