If one were to describe Romi, they might say that she always has her head in the clouds. Or that she's an aloof asshole who is realistically honest with her friends, and cares little in the way of sugarcoating things. Though, if they were to dig below that surface, they would find a girl who is far more intelligent and creative than people give her credit for. Romi refuses to acknowledge her own intelligence if it is brought up, and truth be told, she'd rather people not know of her book-smarts. She doesn't like the spotlight or when people expect far too much from her, and has always expected to get what she has by being the underdog.

Romi's appearance is a strange one- bordering alternative at times. Her natural hair color is a dark auburn, but it is currently dyed a bright green- much to her father's chagrin. She has a set of dimple piercings that accent one of her features she always thought was cute. She's never spent a lot of time in one place, and while she does have a sense of wonderlust, she longs desperately for a place to lay down roots, but this is a well kept secret. She's always been the ghost in all of her friend groups- fitting in, but not really with pretty much everyone.

Strengths
 ➽➽➽ Hex- Being able to form blasts of energy- usually in the form of a black mist around her palms and wrists. The longer she uses this ability, the more draining it becomes on her body. If all of her aura is used, she will fall unconscious until the energy is replaced- whether from eating or from rest or both.
 ➽➽➽ Aura Detection- Romi can see the color and strength of other people's auras. Due to her empathic nature, she is also able to sense other people's emotions through these auras. 
 ➽➽➽ Thief-  If she touches someone else with magical abilities, she may be privy to taking their magical abilities as well as their life energy. The victim of this will be left a bit nauseous, but otherwise unharmed. The stolen powers are always returned to their owner. 

Weaknesses
 ➽➽➽ Romi has an increased metabolism of that of at least double that of a normal person. She can eat a large meal, and still be hungry in a few hours. She can eat anyone under the table and never gain weight from it. This, however, can become debilitating if not sated quickly.
 ➽➽➽ Her hex has a tendency to burn her if she expends too much of it or cannot control it.

 ➽➽➽ She's always preferred black coffee over something that is expensive or far too sweet.
 ➽➽➽ Her father gave her the nickname Romi when she was a child. 
 ➽➽➽ She's never felt the need to dress herself up, and is far more content wearing a pair of old, patched up jeans and an oversized sweatshirt that she got on clearance. The only thing she's ever considered spending a lot of money on was her hair and piercings. 
 ➽➽➽ She can speak three languages (English, French, and Chinese), and has an interest in learning many more because from her experience, it's always been easier to live in a place if she knew how to speak the language. 
 ➽➽➽ For many years, her scrapbook has been her only real place of solace. 
 ➽➽➽ Repeated a grade. Not because she's an idiot or doesn't care about her grades, but rather because she received an academic scholarship from Arcadia, and convinced her father she wanted to experience going to school with other girls her own age.
 ➽➽➽ Romi is an empath, and has been since birth. Even though she knows nothing about her powers, she knows that she can tell how another person feels- especially if she's close to them. 
 ➽➽➽ Romi eats at least 3000-5000 calories a day and has never gained a single pound.
 ➽➽➽ She keeps a pendant that was given to her by her mother before her father took custody of her tucked underneath her shirt at all times.

Romi has lived a mostly reserved life after she began living with her father at the age of five. He claims that her mother ran off with another woman and left the two of them behind. The two of them have moved from place to place every few years, and she became used to being on the go- as if they were running from someone or something. It was always somewhere that was crowded with public transit, and she grew used to taking the train or bus on her own everyday. At one point in her life, the two of them had even lived in Hong Kong for whatever business her father was a part of before moving back to the states. He became a helicopter parent that pushed the girl to do better, and as a result she allowed her grades to remain average. His helicopter parenting style gave her little privacy, and she found herself turning away from him, and further into her own interests. She told him very little for fear that he would try to push her into something she didn't like.

Then, they moved to San Junipero. It just felt right to be there. Her father had wanted to pack up months ago, but Romi dug in her heels- saying the two of them had never really settled anywhere, and that she needed to experience school with other people- even if it was just an all girl's school. She wanted the two of them to actually stay in one place long enough for her to make friends this time. He told her that if she could prove herself and receive an academic scholarship for Arcadia that he would allow them to remain there until she was ready for college, and so she worked hard until she got what she wanted to. The school told her that she would have to repeat a grade to start school there, but she honestly didn't mind that. It was a boarding school, and so the only time that her father got to see her in person was on the weekends- which was a sweet relief for her.
