-Roland hates, hates, hates, laziness when it comes to physical work. School work, he's much more lenient about.

- He loves to run, to jump, to play. . .but getting him out of bed to do all of these things is a different story. Once he's in bed, he's in it.

PERSONALITY: Roland is the oldest of four children. He has two sisters, and a little brother. He's always had to be the "man" of the house so to speak, because of an incident involving his "Step" grandfather that took his father, Dean, away from the house. Ever since then, Roland has seen it as his responsibility to keep things in order and together. He worries more than most teenage boys his age. He's forever worrying about his siblings, but hides it well.
He uses sports, muggle sports and Quidditch, to get out his aggression. He finds wizarding sports to be lack-luster and unchallenging, but does love quidditch. He loves to keep physically fit, and often attempts to coerce his siblings into the same.
Another side of Roland, though, his his softer side. He's not exactly a quiet guy, he's slightly rambucious, but he prides himself on chivalry. He doesn't believe it's died, but that there's a time and a place. He treats all women with respect and is a sucker for a pretty smile paired with an idea pair of eyes.
He loves to read, he uses it as an escape when sports and exercise won't do. Give him a good book, and you may not see him for a few days. He consumes everything with fever, but doesn't always have the time. He's almost always late on assignments because of his reading and staying fit. He hates physical laziness too.

HISTORY: Roland Thomas is the eldest child of Courtney Ashby-Thomas and Dean Thomas. The two met during Courtney's fourth year; Dean's seventh (during the second war). Though believe to be a Halfbood, during the second war, Dean was chased by snatchers for having no proof of lineage. His mother had never told him anything about his father other than he was a pureblood who'd married a muggle, then had been pursued by Death Eaters. Courtney was a muggleborn, and and wasn't safe for her to return to Hogwarts, either. Though she did not tell her Mother and father this. They sent her off to platform 9 3/4 like all the years before,but this time she ran from King's Cross after finding that snatchers had been set around the station in hunt for muggleborns. She and Dean met while running from snatchers.
At first, Dean was hesistant about being involved with someone so much younger than him, but soon took a liking to the Hufflepuff. They continued to stay in contact after the second war, and soon began to date. In 2003, after dating for nearly six years, Courtney and Dean married. The next year they were gifted with Roland.
Roland was a pretty simplicit baby, never really fussing. Courtney doted over him and Dean loved having a son. About a year later, a surprise came along. Courtney was pregnant again, this time with a girl. Roland's little sister quickly became the apple of his eye and the center of all his affections, though at times they fought like cats and dogs. During the next six years, Courtney and Dean had two more children.
Roland spent those six year playing big brother and learning to deal with having so many siblings. When he was twelve, Roland's father, Dean, received bad news.Dean's stepfather, the man who had taken care of him and his mother for years, had been diagnosed with Cancer. Dean's siblings had all taken off, and Dean was the only one who'd kept in touch with them. Mr &Mrs. Thomas didn't have the money to continue to pay for Mr. Thomas' chemo treatments, and they asked Dean for help.
Dean didn't have the money either, but Courtney knew a way they could get the money. They had to ask her parents (who were investment bankers). She hadn't spoken to hear parents in years. After the second wizarding war, they'd begged Courtney to give up magical foolishness since it'd almost gotten her killed. She refused, and instead married Dean. She knew, though, that they'd be able to borrow the money from her parents. Mr. & Mrs Ashby gladly supplied the money in turn of getting to know their grandchildren.
Meanwhile, with the amount of time Dean and Courtney had been spending at the hospital, Roland had learned to take care of his siblings. He was hesitant about meeting his other grandparents and didn't like the arrangement set out for the kids. The kids spent ever summer with their grandparents, learning muggle things such as sports, which is where Dean fell in love with boxing. He also become the closest to his oldest sister. They played Mum and Dad while Courtney and Dean were taking care of Dean's step father.
Roland's grandfather pulled through, and Dean and his siblings still spend the summer with his Mum's parents.
