Roarke is a 19-year-old male troper who was born in Portugal but moved to California so early in life that it really doesn't matter. He's moving off to college, much to the dismay of his mother. His dad is cool with it, his brother can't wait to move into his room, and his dog, Chui, will just have to find another person's bed to sleep in at night and half the day.
