Biography: Roberto is the son of wizarding parents from different countries. His mother, Maria da Silva, was born in Brazil and attended Castelobruxo, while his father, William Taylor, was born in London and studied at Hogwarts. They met during an exchange program when William traveled to Brazil to study Herbology. There, he met Maria, and the two fell in love and eventually got married, with William deciding to settle in Brazil.

Until the age of six, Roberto lived in a small wizarding community near Brasília, surrounded by the region's lush nature and magical atmosphere. At six, his parents decided to move to London in search of new opportunities. In London, Roberto was homeschooled by his parents, with occasional formal lessons from William’s wizarding friends. These lessons covered literature, mathematics, and other standard subjects every child should learn. In Roberto's case, they also included English language lessons to ensure he was fluent.

Adapting to the colder climate and urban lifestyle was not too challenging for Roberto, though he found comfort in books and magical tales, he make some friends in the village they lived, and used to be with them from times to times, all of them were born from wizarding parents. His parents always encouraged him to be curious and to explore the world, values that shaped his personality and outlook on life.

First Instance of Magic: When Roberto was 8 years old, he developed a deep curiosity about origami. He was fascinated by how a few folds in a piece of paper could create magnificent shapes. While learning more about the art of origami, he came across the legend of the Tsuru. Inspired by the story, he began folding paper cranes. In his heart, his greatest wish was to one day become a great Quidditch player, a sport he had fallen in love with after watching matches in Europe.

One day, after folding several cranes, Roberto was completely focused on his work. Suddenly, the family cat brushed against his leg without making a sound, startling him. As he let out a loud gasp, every paper crane he had folded “came to life,” fluttering into the air and flying around the room. Roberto was awestruck by the sight and immediately called for his parents. They rushed to him, their eyes widening as they witnessed the magical display. They exchanged a look before pulling Roberto into a warm family hug.
