Roo Barb

Background

Richard James "Roo" Barb was born in Dallas, Texas to a christ fearing family. He was born on the 28th January 1995.

When he set a child alight during his seventh brithday party, his parents had accepted his magic with gusto, believing God had given him a gift. His Swineverrucas letter came to him when he was 13.

School Career

Roo, as he preferred to call himself, was sorted into Pepperdew and his best friend is the Axelquistal Cat Custard.

He is in his fourth year during the events of The Black Dragon.

Personality

Despite being sorted into the house of Wisdom, he is known for his particular sarcasm and wit. On more than one occasion has he joked with Custard about being in Pepperdew instead of Axelquist, in which the argument usually ends with; 'You know I wouldn't last two minutes with THAT lot. I'd either be reduced to a stammering wreck, or I'd have become the largest bastard of them all as they're too noisy for me and I would have told them so. With less restraint.'

He is completely oblivious to Cat Custard's crush, and is rather shy to everyone apart from her when he isn't hiding behind all the sarcasm. During their second year, Custard convinced him into dying his hair bright green, and for reasons completely unknown to everyone, including himself, he likes it. Speculation has arisen amongst both pupils and staff about a possible stronger connection between the pair than friendship, yet he has assured many people that they are just friends.
